人知れずに満ちて欠ける月が 永い夜誘う。。。

hitoshirezu ni michite kakeru tsuki ga nagai yoru izanau…

The moon, waxing and waning, unnoticed Invites the long night…

答え合わせを求めすぎては 都合良い理論に酔いしれ 空虚な優しさに飽きてなお いつまで戯れ繰り返すのだろうか

kotae awase wo motome sugite wa tsugou yoi riron ni yoishire kuukyona yasashisa ni akite nao itsu made tawamure kurikaesu no darou ka

Searching excessively for the true answers I get carried away by convenient theories This empty kindness gets increasingly tiring How long will we keep on joking around?

愚かさ隠して恥じらう 無意味な見栄っ張り 自分呑み込む。。。

orokasa kakushite hajirau muimi na mieppari jibun nomikomu…

I hide my foolishness shyly A nonsensical show-off Engulfing me…

人知れずに満さて欠ける月が 明けることない永い夜を誘う

hitoshirezu ni michite kakeru tsuki ga akeru koto nai nagai yoru wo izanau

The moon, waxing and waning, unnoticed Invites the long night that won’t end

弱さ囲うつもりでいつの間にか 己が迷い込んでいた籠の中

yowasa kakou tsumori de itsunomanika onore ga mayoikonde ita kago no naka

Trying to enclose my weakness, suddenly I found myself lost inside the cage

辿りつく先分からないまま 道を踏みはずさないように 何も考えないのが善いと 思い込ませ 思い込む連鎖生まれた

tadori tsuku saki wakaranai mama michi wo fumihazusanai you ni nani mo kangaenai no ga yoi to omoikomase omoikomu rensa umareta

Unable to comprehend where I’ve arrived So that I don’t lose track of my path It’s best not to think about anything I’m convinced Convinced that a connection was born

互いを認め許し会う本当の優しさ 矢したあの日。。。

tagai wo mitome yurushi au hontou no yasashisa nakushita ano hi…

Accepting and forgiving another, true kindness It was lost, that day…

籠の鳥が飛べないと決めたのは 誰だつたのかさあ目を開いてみて 例え例え後ろ指さされても 己が信じ行くなら夜も穿つ。。。

kago no tori ga tobenai to kimeta no wa dare datta no ka saa me wo hiraite mite tatoe tatoe ushiro yubisasarete mo onore ga shinji yuku nara yoru mo ugatsu…

The caged bird decided not to fly anymore Just who was it? Now, try to open your eyes So even if you’re pointed at from behind Believing in yourself, you can pierce the night…

弱さ囲うつもりでいつの間にか 己が迷い込んでいた籠の中

yowasa kakou tsumori de itsunomanika onore ga mayoikonde ita kago no naka

Trying to enclose my weakness, suddenly I found myself lost inside the cage

籠の鳥が飛べないと決めたのは 誰だつたのかさあ目を開いてみて 例え例え後ろ指さされても 己が信じ行くなら夜も穿つ。。。

kago no tori ga tobenai to kimeta no wa dare datta no ka saa me wo hiraite mite tatoe tatoe ushiro yubisasarete mo onore ga shinji yuku nara yoru mo ugatsu…

The caged bird decided not to fly anymore Just who was it? Now, try to open your eyes So even if you’re pointed at from behind Believing in yourself, you can pierce the night…

明けない夜も穿つ。。。

akenai yoru mo ugatsu…

Pierce even this endless night…
