Hiragana / Katana / Kanji

何時の間にだろう　あぁ　ストップモーション
薄い眠りに　就いてしまっている様
安住の地　柔い毛布にそう包まれては
理想郷と　思い込んで目を閉じていたんだ

だけど　消えない鼓動が
叫んで　泣いてんだ
駆け出してしまえと言うように
嵐を恐れて
蹲っているんなら
傷を　作りながら　最前線の空へ

今　絶望めいてる繭を裂いて　一瞬の先ひたと見据え fly
No fear of falling
土砂降りさえ　舞い上がれ
そう　どこまででも喉枯らして
伝えたい何かを　胸灯して fly…
Fly my voice
羽ばたいて　飛び越えて　全てを
歌って　生きているって

逃避した world　痛むとこ無いけど
透明で甘美　腐ってる
段々と　百年後には　自分さえ濁りそうで

ふっと空見上げた
半分の月は何も言わず　ただ夜を渡っていく
Why not
この足何故
地表に縛りつけられてるの

さあ　永遠めいてる日々破って　本当の声呼び覚まして dream
No fear of failing
何起きても構わない
ねぇ　あと一秒　足掻くように
滲んだ視界の　向こう側へ dream
Fly my dream
踏み出して　飛び込んで　ありのまま

曖昧に感情誤魔化して
留まってる方がきっと
一滴の血さえ溢さないまま
息してられるだろう

hm…never die feelings, never die in my voice

それでも地平線へ
鼓動響かせて
途絶えた未来を探して
ディストピア塗り変えて
蛹脱いで蝶になり飛ぼう
まだ暗い方へと

歌え　絶望めいてる繭を裂いて　一瞬の先ひたと見据え fly
No fear of falling
土砂降りさえ　舞い上がれ
そう　どこまででも喉枯らして
伝えたい何かを　胸灯して fly…
Fly my voice
羽ばたいて　飛び越えて　全て

Ah　今日を変えて　鮮明な方へ
どんな痛みも　胸にあるまま
Ah　声でありたい　限界を壊すための
繰り返し　飛び込んで　明日へ
何万回の　間違いを抱いて
挑んで butterfly───

English Translation

Since when, I wonder, ah, stop motion
As if I have already fallen into a shallow sleep
A place of rest, wrapped inside a soft blanket
I closed my eyes believing it was a utopia

But still, the heartbeat that will not fade
Is shouting, is crying out
As if to say I should run forward
If I fear the storm
And only crouch in place
Then with new wounds I will aim toward the frontline sky

Now, tear through the cocoon steeped in despair, fix your gaze just beyond the instant, fly
No fear of falling
Even a downpour can be lifted into flight
Yes, until my voice is gone, no matter how far
With a flame in my chest for something I must convey, fly...
Fly my voice
Spread my wings, leap across it all
Sing out, prove I am alive

The world I escaped has no places that hurt
Transparent, sweet, and yet it rots
Gradually, as the centuries pass, even I myself will seem to cloud

Then suddenly I looked up to the sky
The half moon said nothing, only drifted through the night
Why not
Why are these feet
Chained so tightly to the earth

So, tear through the days that feel like eternity, awaken my true voice and dream
No fear of failing
I do not care what may come
Hey, with just one more second to struggle
Toward the other side of this blurred vision, dream
Fly my dream
Step forward, dive in, as I truly am

It must be easier to hide emotions vaguely
And simply remain in place
Breathing without spilling
Even a single drop of blood

Hm... never die feelings, never die in my voice

Even so, toward the horizon
Let my heartbeat resound
Searching for a future cut off
Repainting this dystopia
Shedding the cocoon to become a butterfly, I will fly
Still toward the darkness

Sing, tear through the cocoon steeped in despair, fix your gaze just beyond the instant, fly
No fear of falling
Even a downpour can be lifted into flight
Yes, until my voice is gone, no matter how far
With a flame in my chest for something I must convey, fly...
Fly my voice
Spread my wings, leap across it all

Ah, change today, toward the vivid side
Keeping every pain still in my chest
Ah, I want to be a voice, one that breaks through limits
Again and again I will dive into tomorrow
Carrying tens of thousands of mistakes
To challenge as a butterfly───
