Lyrics

暗闇の世界は知らぬが故　起こりうるマヤカシ
光がないのなら灯点けて足下を照らすの
kurayami no sekai wa shiranu ga yue okoriuru mayakashi
hikari ga nai no nara akari tsukete ashimoto wo terasu no

三十回も七十回も百回だって繰り返す
天井なんてあり得ない歴史捲って
sanjuukai mo nanajuukai mo hyakkai datte kurikaesu
tenjou nante arienai rekishi mekutte

壊してないのに　失くしてないのに
手に取れないと忘れる
壊しているのに　失くしているのに
気づかない　MOBU
kowashite nai no ni nakushite nai no ni
te ni torenai to wasureru
kowashite iru no ni nakushite iru no ni
kidzukanai MOBU

哀し気に悟った賢者の夢　哀し気に消え去り
儚く脆い故消えたのだと声高に語った
kanashige ni satotta kenja no yume kanashige ni kiesari
hakanaku moroi yue kieta no da to kowadaka ni katatta

三千回も七千回も何回だって繰り返す
偶然なんてあり得ない歴史捲って
sanzenkai mo nanasenkai mo nankai datte kurikaesu
guuzen nante arienai rekishi mekutte

犯してないのに　隠してないのに
問いつめられた絶望
犯しているのに　隠しているのに
したり顔　MOBU
okashite nai no ni kakushite nai no ni
toitsumerareta zetsubou
okashite iru no ni kakushite iru no ni
shitarigao MOBU

夢から覚めても夢には勝てない
そんな歩み繰り返す
壊してないのに　失くしてないのに
手に取れないと忘れる
壊しているのに　失くしているのに
気づかない　MOBU
yume kara sametemo yume ni wa katenai
sonna ayumi kurikaesu
kowashite nai no ni nakushite nai no ni
te ni torenai to wasureru
kowashite iru no ni nakushite iru no ni
kidzukanai MOBU

Translation

The world of darkness is a world of unknowns and possible deceptions
If there is no light, turn on a torch and shine what’s at your feet

I’ll repeat it thirty, seventy, a hundred times.
There’s no such thing as a ceiling, roll up the history

And yet, I didn’t destroy it. And yet, I didn’t lose it
If I can’t pick it up, I forget it
And yet, I’m destroying it. And yet, I’m losing it
I didn’t realize it, it was a mob

The dream of a sage who is sadly enlightened. It sadly vanished
They said out loud that it disappeared because it was fleeting and fragile.

I’ll repeat it three thousand, seven thousand, countless times
There is no such thing as coincidence, roll up the history

And yet, I didn’t commit it. And yet, I didn’t hide it
The despair of being questioned
And yet, I’m committing it. And yet, I’m hiding it
With a triumphant look, it’s a mob

Even if I wake up from a dream, I can’t defeat a dream
I repeat such steps
And yet, I didn’t destroy it. And yet, I didn’t lose it
If I can’t pick it up, I forget it
And yet, I’m destroying it. And yet, I’m losing it
I didn’t realize it, it was a mob
