Lyrics

空が赤く染まって飛び立つ雁にも
目指すべき月が有る 私と違って
sora ga akaku somatte tobitatsu kari ni mo
mezasubeki tsuki ga aru watashi to chigatte

待てないよ誰も手に余る
けれど重ならない声は錆びて
強がりと要らぬ詮索と
孤独それは自由それは真白に光る
matenai yo dare mo te ni amaru
keredo kasanaranai koe wa sabite
tsuyogari to iranu sensaku to
kodoku sore wa jiyuu sore wa masshiro ni hikaru

傷付いて馬鹿みたい
望んだことしてるだけなら
欺瞞でもすがりつく
そのくらいはやってみせてよ
闘って勝ち取って生き抜いて
kizutsuite baka mitai
nozonda koto shiteru dake nara
giman demo sugaritsuku
sono kurai wa yatte misete yo
tatakatte kachitotte ikinuite

味方になる烏も盗人の狐も
首輪捨ててひもじく、だけども気高く
mikata ni naru karasu mo nusutto no kitsune mo
kubiwa sutete himojiku, dakedomo kedakaku

嫌な事だらけどこまでも
清く潔く嘘吐きません
浅ましく繋ぐ物語
孤独だけど自由だから寂しくはない
iya na koto darake dokomademo
kiyoku isagiyoku usotsukimasen
asamashiku tsunagu monogatari
kodoku dakedo jiyuu dakara samishiku wa nai

傷付けてしょうがない
愛と誠 夏の陽炎
いつまでも挨拶で
満たされてりゃ良かったものを
身に余る欲望は滅ぼして
kizutsukete shouganai
ai to makoto natsu no kagerou
itsumademo aisatsu de
mitasareterya yokatta mono wo
mi ni amaru yokubou wa horoboshite

赤い空のぼる白い月
いつか一人きりで勝ってみせる
akai sora noboru shiroi tsuki
itsuka hitorikiri de katte miseru

傷付いて馬鹿みたい
望んだことしてるだけなら
欺瞞でもすがりつく
そのくらいはやってみせてよ
闘って勝ち取って生き抜いて
kizutsuite baka mitai
nozonda koto shiteru dake nara
giman demo sugaritsuku
sono kurai wa yatte misete yo
tatakatte kachitotte ikinuite

Translation

The sky turns red and the geese take flight
They have a moon to aim for… unlike me

I can’t wait, no one else can
But coarse voices don’t overlap
With stubbornness and unnecessary inquisitiveness
Loneliness – that’s freedom, it shines pure white

I feel stupid hurting you
If I’m only doing what I want
I’ll hang on to the deception
Let me at least try that
I fight, I win… I survive

Even the raven that is becoming an ally and the thief fox
Throw away their collar and be starved, but noble

There’s so much stuff I hate, no matter how far I go
I’m clean, I’m innocent, I don’t lie
A story that is shallowly connected
I’m alone, but I’m free, so I don’t feel loneliness

I can’t help hurting you
Love and sincerity, in the summer shimmer
With a greeting that lasts forever
I wish I could have been satisfied
This desire that’s too much for me… will be destroyed

A white moon rising in the red sky
Someday I’ll win all by myself

I feel stupid hurting you
If I’m only doing what I want
I’ll hang on to the deception
Let me at least try that
I fight, I win… I survive
