Lyrics & Translation
コンクリートが揺らいだ 霞み燻む、君の望ている夢
 * -|Kanji=

テンプレートをなぞった 知らないままの日常

ハイテンポなアテンダンス 消えない　足りない　落ち込んだ未来

最終話が来たって 言えない　君は泣きそう

ほら、目を閉じて 迷子なら一緒 帰り道もないでしょう？

継ぎ接いでた　秘密に願う　未来は平凡

さぁ、手を鳴らせ ０で廻った　勘違いを今日も集めて

始めよう　君もまた、無我夢中？

Let's 「play」　届くまで叫んで Let's 「save」　叶うまで足掻いて

その手を掴むまで　この温度は忘れない

Let's 「daze」　心を消さないで Let's 「change」　一人で泣かないで

「孤独」　なら　塗り替えれる 思い出してよ　言いたかったこと

アンコールが響いた 巡り巡る、街の中を往け

スタンダードを壊して 汗ばんだ手を　繋ごう

ブレイクアウトとスタンドアープ 寝れない　止めない　逆襲の気配

最終日が来たって 消えない言葉探そう

ほら、手を出して　会えたのはきっと 思い違いじゃないでしょう？

影法師の隋に　憂う世界は残像

もう「悔しさ」も「弱さ」も いっそ「意気地なし」も全部含めて

飛び込もう　君もまた、無我夢中？

Let's 「play」　伸ばす手揺らいで Let's 「save」　心もすり減って

まるで希望がなくったって　その温度は忘れない

Let's 「daze」　街風が唸って Let's　「change」　言葉が消えたって

「気持ち」なら　此処にある ずっと前から　気付いてたんだよ

赤い目擦ったあの子へと 青い青い夏を超えて 届くのが　この声なら

「さよなら」唱えた　夕暮れも また昨日に変えれる

この夢を抜け出する きっと

待って　一人なら応えて 今日を嘆いたりしないで

寂しさも　涙も 分け合うから　一緒に

Let's 「play」　届くまで叫んで Let's 「save」　叶うまで足掻いて

その手を掴むまで　この温度は忘れない

Let's 「daze」　心を消さないで Let's 「change」　一人で泣かないで

揺らめきだす　街の中 挫けそうになってしまっても

「孤独」　なら塗り替えれる 「ひとりぼっち」を変えようとした君となら

君となら Konkurīto ga yuraida Kasumi kusumu, kimi no miteiru yume

 * -|English Translation=

The concrete flickered, Hazing up, smoldering, the dream you’re seeing

I traced the template Living every day in oblivion

A high tempo attendance Permanent, inadequate, the dismal future

The final story has come, Unable to say it, you’re about cry

Come on, close your eyes If, together, we’ve lost our way There’s no way back for either of us, right?

My hope is in this secret The future is ordinary

Now, clap your hands Circling around the zero - today, too, I’ll collect the misunderstandings

It’s beginning Once again, are you losing yourself?

Let’s “play” Yelling until it’s heard Let’s “save” Struggling until it’s granted

Until I catch hold of that hand I won’t forget this warmth

Let’s “daze” Don’t erase these hearts Let’s “change” Don’t cry all alone

If you’re “lonely” it can be repainted Remember it, the things you wanted to say

The encore echoed Round and round, passing by inside the city

The standards were broken Let’s hold each other’s hands in sweat

Break out and stand up Can’t sleep or stop It’s the sign of a counterattack

The last day has come Let’s find those words that won’t disappear

Come on, reach out your hand Our encounter must be a misunderstanding, right?

At the will of the shadows, The worried world is an afterimage

“Regret” and “weakness” and even “timidness With all of that—

Let’s fly Are you once again, losing yourself?

Let’s “play” The hand, reaching out, wavers Let’s “save” Our hearts are worn out

Even though it’s as if we have no hope I won’t forget that warmth

Let’s “daze” The city’s wind growls Let’s “change” The words disappear

If it’s “feelings” then They’re here I noticed long ago

Passing by the child who gained red eyes, and the blue, blue summer Will it reach, if it’s this voice

“Goodbye,”

Was what twilight said Once again it’ll become yesterday Surely, we’ll get out from this dream

Wait, If you’re alone then reply Don’t lament “today” Even your tears and loneliness Will be shared so, together—

Let’s “play” Yelling until it’s heard Let’s “save” Struggling until it’s granted

Until I catch hold of that hand I won’t forget this warmth

Let’s “daze” Don’t erase these hearts Let’s “change” Don’t cry all alone

Wavering in the city Even if you’re discouraged, If you’re “lonely,” it can be repainted With you, I tried to change “all alone”

With you
