Lyrics

TV Version

Kanji	Romaji	Translation
静かに震わせる空気 意味深な沈黙 光の歪曲が満ちて 失ったロジック	Shizuka ni furuwaseru kuuki Imishin na chinmoku Hikari no waikyoku ga michite Ushinatta rojikku	An air that makes you tremble soundlessly A tell-tale silence Distortions of light run wild And all sense of logic is lost
I believe what you said 戻りたい場所 明確な景色 あの子が欲しいと あざ笑った	I believe what you said Modoritai basho Meikaku na keshiki Ano ko ga hoshii to Azawaratta	I believe what you said A place to return to A definite vista She said she wanted them all As she sneered
ずっとキミの喜びも ずっとキミの涙さえも 誰より身近な距離で 感じた記憶 たった一つその答え 探してた扉が今 ゆっくりと開かれた その先には 眩しい光に 包まれてゆく 全ての真実	Zutto kimi no yorokobi mo Zutto kimi no namida sae mo Dare yori midjikana kyori de Kanjita kioku Tatta hitotsu sono kotae Sagashiteta tobira ga ima Yukkuri to hirakareta Sono saki ni wa Mabushii hikari ni Tsutsumarete yuku Subete no shinjitsu	Your joy—all of it until now Even your tears—all of them until now Memories of enduring them, I bear Closer to you than anyone can ever be That one and only answer That door we had sought Is now slowly being opened Revealing what lies beyond As it is engulfed In a blinding light— The truth of everything

ずっとキミの喜びも ずっとキミの涙さえも 誰より身近な距離で 感じた記憶 たった一つその答え 探してた扉が今 ゆっくりと開かれた その先には 眩しい光に 包まれてゆく 全ての真実	Zutto kimi no yorokobi mo Zutto kimi no namida sae mo Dare yori midjikana kyori de Kanjita kioku Tatta hitotsu sono kotae Sagashiteta tobira ga ima Yukkuri to hirakareta Sono saki ni wa Mabushii hikari ni Tsutsumarete yuku Subete no shinjitsu	Your joy—all of it until now Even your tears—all of them until now Memories of enduring them, I bear Closer to you than anyone can ever be That one and only answer That door we had sought Is now slowly being opened Revealing what lies beyond As it is engulfed In a blinding light— The truth of everything
小さなほころびはやがて 偽りへ誘う 幾重に繰り返す狂気 閉ざされたリフレイン	Chiisana hokorobi wa yagate Itsuwari e izanau Ikue ni kurikaesu kyouki Tozasareta rifurein	A meagre rift is more than enough To eventually invite falsehoods The recurring insanity piles up Almost like a trapped refrain
I believe what you said 目を覚ます頃 描かれた絵空 祭りは静かに 始まった	I believe what you said Me wo samasu koro Egakareta esora Matsuri wa shizuka ni Hajimatta	I believe what you said When they open their eyes To face the concocted mirage Silently, the festivities Will have begun
もっとキミを知りたくて もっとキミを追いかけてた 不自然な素振りもなく 交わした言葉 この広い空さえも 作られた張りぼてなら ゆっくりと消えてゆく この痛みも まるで麻酔のように 堕ちる意識が 全てを始める	Motto kimi wo shiritakute Motto kimi wo oikaketeta Fushizen na soburi mo naku Kawashita kotoba Kono hiroi sora sae mo Tsukurareta haribote nara Yukkuri to kiete yuku Kono itami mo Marude masui no you ni Ochiru ishiki ga Subete wo hajimeru	Wanting to get to know you—even more I had chased after you—even more Words I had exchanged with you, I recall Free of our fake dispositions If only this boundless sky too Were just a fabricated makeshift Even this slowly vanishing Anguish will soon go away As if it were a numbing sedation, My failing consciousness Will be the beginning of everything
ずっとキミの喜びも ずっとキミの涙さえも 誰より身近な距離で 感じた記憶 たった一つその答え 探してた扉が今 ゆっくりと開かれた その先には 眩しい光に 包まれてゆく 全ての真実	Zutto kimi no yorokobi mo Zutto kimi no namida sae mo Dare yori midjikana kyori de Kanjita kioku Tatta hitotsu sono kotae Sagashiteta tobira ga ima Yukkuri to hirakareta Sono saki ni wa Mabushii hikari ni Tsutsumarete yuku Subete no shinjitsu	Your joy—all of it until now Even your tears—all of them until now Memories of enduring them, I bear Closer to you than anyone can ever be That one and only answer That door we had sought Is now slowly being opened Revealing what lies beyond As it is engulfed In a blinding light— The truth of everything
