Senaka Wo Mukete Henji MoWith my back turned, I couldn’t even,
Dekinakute Gomen Ne ItsukaGive you an answer, I’m sorry;
Egao Ni Sasete Yaru Tte“One day, I’ll make you smile,”
Mune Ni KimetetaThat’s what I’d decided in my heart.
Kono Kanashimi Wa Tooriame Da To“This sadness is just a passing shower,”
Nando Mo Kaite Wa KeshitaI wrote and erased those words over and over.
Yurusenai Kimochi Ga Jama De Sora Ga MienaiThese unforgiving feelings are in the way, so I can’t see the sky.
Katamuita Sekai Wo Utsushite ItaIt was reflecting a world that’s tilted,
Iro No Nai Yume No Naka DeInside of a colorless dream.
Hoo Wo Tsutau Shizuku Ga Inochi Wo SomeruThe droplets trickling down my cheeks are staining my life.
Matte DamatteIt’s because I waited and stayed silent,
Taete Ita Kara Darou NeAnd just endured it all, right?
Shinnen Wa Chichuu De Kesshou Suru Rubii Mitai DaConviction is like a ruby that crystallizes deep inside the earth.
Demo Ne Damasaretara Gaman Shinai DeBut listen, if you’re being deceived, don’t just endure it.
Itai Tte Omoikkiri Sakebe Ba IiYou should just scream “It hurts!” with all your might.
Wakatteru Yo NeYou understand that, don’t you?
Ubawaresou NaIf it’s a hope,
Kibou DattaraThat’s about to be stolen,
Kami Kudaite Nomi Konde YaruI’ll chew it up and swallow it down.
Juujun Shinai WaI won’t be submissive.
Me Wo Tsubutte Kisu Suru You NiJust like closing your eyes for a kiss,
Shoutotsu Suru Shunkan NiIn the moment of impact,
Mi Wo YudaneteJust surrender yourself.
Crush On YouCrush on you.
ShiritakuteI wanted to know,
Moguri KondaSo I dove deep,
Anata No Naka EInto the heart of you.
Gakeppuchi Da Kara MioroshitaBecause I’m on the edge of the cliff, I looked down.
Orokasa Mo Zuru Sa Mo SubeteAll the foolishness and the cunning, everything.
Koko Ni Kinenhi Wo Tatete Sayonara SuruI’ll build a monument here and say goodbye.
Dare Yori Mo Watashi Ga Watashi DeshoI’m my own person more than anyone else, right?
Naze Itsumo Anata Kara Ayamaru NoWhy is it always you who’s the first to apologize?
Ame No Hi Mo Keshite Keshite Wa IkenaiEven on rainy days, there’s a flame,
Hi Ga Aru To Oshiete Kureta No NiThat you taught me must never be put out.
Yume Ni Dete Kita Kurai De Iso Sou Ni Shinai DeDon’t act so restless just because I appeared in your dream.
Hebi Ni Nirareta Kaeru Mo Ukaberu EmiEven a frog stared down by a snake ‘a helpless situation’ can manage a smile.
Kubi No Kawa 10000 Mai Nanmo Ki Ni Nan’naiI’ve got ten thousand layers of skin on my neck, I don’t care about anything.
Gake De HotobashireLet it all gush out at the cliff.
Ikite HikatteLive and shine.
Mure No Naka De Naku Yori MoRather than crying in the middle of a crowd,
Ikinuku Tame Ni Dassou Suru Michi Wo Eran De YoChoose the path of escape just so you can survive.
Mamoru Hazu No Seigi Ga Asu Wa Jibun WoThe justice you’re meant to protect might,
Kirisaku Naifu Ni Naru Koto Datte Aru YoBecome the knife that cuts you tomorrow.
Wakatteru Yo NeYou understand that, don’t you?
Ubawaresou NaIf it’s a hope,
Kibou DattaraThat’s about to be stolen,
Kami Kudaite Nomi Konde YaruI’ll chew it up and swallow it down.
Juujun Shinai WaI won’t be submissive.

HitoribocchiEven all alone.
Gakeppuchi RubiiRuby on the edge.
Kono Kanashimi Wa Tooriame Da To“This sadness is just a passing shower,”
Nando Mo Kaite Wa KeshitaI wrote and erased those words over and over.
Shinjitsu Katatte Hito Wo Sukutta To Shite MoEven if speaking the truth has saved people…
Naze Koko Made Yatte Koreta No KaWhy was I able to make it this far?
Itsuka Tazuneraretara Iu NoIf someone ever asks me that, I’ll say:
Atashi Akiramezu Ni Ikite Kita Dake Na No Desu“I’ve just lived my life without ever giving up.”
