Lyrics
Romanized lyrics
Ki ga tsukeba kisotteru no
Kate hashire to
Erabenu norimono wo kakae
Kimi no tame to hikareta
Senro susume to
Warau nan itten no
Hate kizuku to
Erabu no wa ikizama to chihei
Kimi no mune ga egaita
Souro tobitate kouya
Odoru you ni
Kaze ni hada ga mazari toketeku
Sakaime wa kieru
Kaze ni hata ga odori yureteru
"ichi" wo koeta saki
Anata wa tashika ni koko ni iru
Ikite utau
Mujiyuu na unmei mo
Ai to kaeru no
Jiga no ito tokeru basho e
Ichido kiri wo oyoida
Kouro uragire hyouka
Bakeru you ni
Kaze ni uta ga mazari toketeku
Azakeri wa kieru
Kaze ni kami ga odori yureteru
Ishi wo koeta saki
Anata wa tashika ni koko ni iru
Inochi wa agaku
Shinu na togisumase
Ike hashire
Kaze ni hada ga mazari toketeku
Sakaime wa kieru
Kaze ni hata ga odori yureteru
"ichi" wo koeta saki
Anata wa tashika ni koko ni iru
Soshite tsuzuku
Japanese lyrics
気が付けば 競ってるの
勝て 走れと
選べぬ乗り物を抱え
君の為と引かれた
線路 進めと
笑う 何言ってんの
はて 気づくと
選ぶのは生き様と地平
君の胸が描いた
走路 飛び立て荒野
踊るように
風に肌が混ざり溶けてく
境目は消える
風に旗が踊り揺れてる
“1”を超えた先
あなたは確かにここにいる
生きて謳う
無自由な運命も
愛と 変えるの
自我の糸 解ける場所へ
一度きりを泳いだ
航路 裏切れ評価
化けるように
風に歌が混ざり溶けてく
嘲りは消える
風に髪が踊り揺れてる
意思を超えた先
あなたは確かにここにいる
命は足掻く
死ぬな 研ぎ澄ませ
行け 走れ
風に肌が混ざり溶けてく
境目は消える
風に旗が踊り揺れてる
“1”を超えた先
あなたは確かにここにいる
そして つづく
Official English translation
Before I knew it, I was part of a race
"Win!" "Keep running!" they said
I've got a vehicle of my own but one I couldn't choose
"Head down the track we laid for you"
They said
It's funny, what the hell are you saying?
Hey, now I realize that
I choose the way I live and the horizons I seek
Dash down the runway you imagined
And take off into the wilderness
Like you're dancing
My skin melds with the wind and melts away
Boundaries disappear
Flags dance and sway in the wind
Beyond the "one"
Without a doubt, you're here
Living and singing
We can change our uncontrollable destiny
With love
We'll head to a place where the threads of ego unravel
The passage where we swim "just once"
Defy their evaluations
As if we're reshaping ourselves
Our song melds with the wind and melts away
Their jeers disappear
Our hair dances and sways in the wind
Beyond intentions
Without a doubt, you're here
Life keeps on struggling
"Don't die!" "Sharpen your skills!"
"Go!" "Keep running!"
My skin melds with the wind and melts away
Boundaries disappear
Flags dance and sway in the wind
Beyond the "one"
Without a doubt, you're here
And life goes on
