Trigger Lyrics Translation – Claris
The lyricist writes, ‘Pull that trigger with your finger and shoot through the future,’ using the trigger as a metaphor for taking action to reshape the world. The poet mentions falling tears and trembling palms to describe the emotional stakes of moving forward together.
Tell me yubi wo kaketa sono hikigane de mirai wo uchinuita tokiTell me, when you pull that trigger with your finger and shoot through the future,
Kawaru yuganda sekai no katachi wathe shape of this distorted world will change.
Change the world with the triggerChange the world with the trigger.
Change the world with theChange the world with the…
Yume kara sameta ato moEven after I wake up from a dream,
Mata yume wo miteru you na higenjitsuthis surreal reality feels like I’m still dreaming.
Nandomo kurikaeshite moNo matter how many times I repeat them,
Todokanai kotoba wa tokete kieruwords that don’t reach you just melt and vanish.
Yakusoku wa kousa shiteOur promises cross paths,
Majiwaru koto no nai kuusou wo egaite irumapping out a fantasy that’ll never truly meet.
Tell you yubi wo kaketa sono hikigane de mirai wo uchinuita tokiI’ll tell you, when you pull that trigger with your finger and shoot through the future,
Kawaru nijinda sekai datteeven this blurred world will begin to change.
Nagareochiru namida sae kimi wo michibiiteku torigaaEven your falling tears act as a ‘trigger’ to guide you,
Kimi to tomo ni asu wo ayumitai karabecause I want to walk toward tomorrow by your side.
Brand new worldIt’s a brand new world.
Sunda sora no shizukesa moEven the silence of the clear sky
Dareka ga unda itsuwari no hinichijouis just a fake reality that someone else created.
Kage de chiru hana no nakaAmong the flowers falling in the shadows,
Doko made sakitsuzukerareru darouI wonder how long they can keep blooming?
Byoushin wa tomaranaideThe second hand won’t stop moving,
Kakikirenai hodo no kuusou ga tsuranatte iruand endless fantasies are lining up beyond what I can write.
Zutto furueta mama sono tenohira wo kasanete tashikameta tokiWhen we put our trembling palms together to make sure of each other,
Wakaru hontou no negai datteI finally understand what my true wish is.
Kikoenai shin’on kara tsutawari hibiiteku memoriiA memory echoes through a heartbeat I can’t even hear.
Dakishimeru yo kurushisa mo setsunasa mo kimi toI’ll hold you close, along with all the pain and sadness.
Hatenai kurayami demo futari nara kittoEven in endless darkness, if we’re together, surely
Meguru unmei ni nerai sadamewe can take aim at this revolving fate
Uchinukeruand shoot right through it.
Tell you yubi wo kaketa sono hikigane de mirai wo uchinuita tokiI’ll tell you, when you pull that trigger with your finger and shoot through the future,
Kawaru nijinda sekai datteeven this blurred world will begin to change.
Nagareochiru namida sae kimi wo michibiiteku torigaaEven your falling tears act as a ‘trigger’ to guide you.
Tsunaida te wa hanasanai chikau yo true wordsI’ll never let go of your hand—I swear it with true words.
Donna sekai demo kimi wo shinjiteru karaNo matter what kind of world it is, I believe in you.
Brand new worldIt’s a brand new world.
