(Unofficial Translation)

Floating up, it’s an endroll met when tumbling and falling down Distorted, it’s a revolving lantern of the future that’s been changed It’s already over; the curtains closed upon the daydreams did nothing but blur out the voids

It makes me remember the sunset sky and the spreading melody “Let’s go home, so we don’t take the wrong path…” Becoming cowardly as we leave our tightly-held hands in the air

It makes me embrace, it makes me wish The extravagant revolving lantern Lighting up the red that confirms my love before the evening calm Passing by, rotting away The true feelings that dissolved away are a story that denies existential proof

“See you tomorrow” or words like that I didn’t want to say The tears I can’t wipe off and my words are lies and lies I didn’t want us to be “just friends” or things like that These words probably won’t reach you “I’m sorry, I love you.”

If this was a misunderstanding, I don’t want to take it in The tears that overflow are soaked into the sky I can’t return anymore, I can’t go back anymore Now, it aches, you know — it become all upside down

Falling down, realizing it all The broken revolving lantern Beyond the evening glow, I painted my feelings into a poem of regrets

Don’t erase them, remember them The true feelings left behind are a story that denies all “happiness”

I didn’t want to end as “just friends” The tears that won’t reach you dissolve into the sky I know that this is wrong… I know that this is wrong… But I’ve always wanted to tell you, “Goodbye, I love you.”

Trivia

 * The "revolving lantern" mentioned throughout the song also commonly refers to the "life flashing before one's eyes" phenomena before death.
 * In the scene of the minute 1:00, there is a reference to the first chapter of the sixth volume of the light novel "Daze 01", where Shintaro at first is in a completely white space seeing the final credits of a movie where apparently the same was the protagonist.
