Description
Here, stardust and the smell of warm asphalt at dawn intertwine. Every “what if” is not a regret, but a leap over the fence into a new universe. The scars on your palms become a road map, and a random ball hitting your forehead becomes a flash of insight that suddenly explains what love is. Words and gestures break free like plasma sparks and fly away, even if light years prevent you from reaching that very voice. Everything here is about how life suddenly becomes colorful when you stop holding your own hand.
Lyrics and translation
Original
もしもあの改札の前で立ち止まらず歩いていれば。
君の顔も知 らずのまま幸せに生きていただろうか。
もしもあの裏門を越えて外へ抜け出していなければ。
仰ぎ見た星の輝きも靴の汚れに変わっていた。
寝転んだリノリウムの上、 逆立ちして振り向いた view で。
ここも銀河の果てだと知って、目眩がした夜 明け前。
聞こえて、答えて、届いて、欲しくて。 光って、光って、光って、叫んだ。
鏡を越えてここか ら 用したレスな世界への旋風が。
飛び出していけ、宇宙の彼方。 目の前を打ち抜くクワッツーマ。
ただひたすら 見とれてた。
傷も傷も shut me.
何光年と離れてても踏み出した体が止まらな い。
今、君の声が遠く聞こえてる。 光ってく。
荒め口の中くぐり抜け、旗を突き刺す勇姿。
路地裏の空に流れ星。
酷く逃げ惑うレス me。
もしもあの人ごみの前で君の手を離さなければ。
もしも不意に出たあの声をきつく飲み込んでいれば。
もしもあの改 札の前で立ち止まらず歩いていれば。
君はどこにもいやしなくて、 僕もここにいなかった。
あの日君が泣いた。 ボールが額に当たって倒れた刹那、僕は確かに見た。
ネイビーの空を走っ た 飛行機雲。 これが愛だと知った。 飛び出していけ、宇宙の彼方。
目の前を打ち抜くクワッツーマ。 ただひたすら見とれてた。
痛みにすら cut me。
何光年と離れてても踏み出した体が止まらな い。 今、君の声が遠く聞こえてる。 光ってく。
光ってく。
English translation
If only I had walked instead of stopping in front of that ticket gate.
Would I have lived happily without knowing your face?
If only I hadn't slipped out through that back gate.
The shine of the stars I looked up to had turned to dirt on my shoes.
Lying down on the linoleum, I stood on my head and turned around to see the view.
Just before dawn, I felt dizzy, knowing that we were also at the end of the galaxy.
I hear it, I answer it, I reach it, I want it. It lit up, lit up, lit up, and screamed.
Beyond the mirror, a whirlwind to the unused world begins here.
Jump out, beyond the universe. Kwatzuma punches right in front of me.
I was simply fascinated by it.
Shut me, both scars and scars.
No matter how many light years away, my body will not stop when I step forward.
I can hear your voice far away now. It's shining.
A brave figure who sneaks through the rough mouth and stabs the flag.
A shooting star in the sky behind the alley.
Reply to me who is running away from me.
If I don't let go of your hand in front of that crowd.
If only I had swallowed that voice that suddenly came out.
If only I had walked instead of stopping in front of that ticket gate.
You weren't healed anywhere, and I wasn't here either.
You cried that day. I did see the moment the ball hit my forehead and I fell down.
A contrail ran through the navy sky. I knew this was love. Jump out, beyond the universe.
Kwatzuma punches right in front of me. I just admired it.
Even the pain cuts me.
No matter how many light years away, my body will not stop when I step forward. I can hear your voice far away now. It's shining.
It's shining.
