Lyrics & Translation[]
Kanji ぶつかって 逃げ込んで |
Romaji butsukatte nigekonde |
After struggling and running,
I had somehow ended up standing where I am
I'd wanted to become someone that everyone would admire,
a hero - but I couldn't
Of course, I'd already known; someone like me
isn't even halfway there
Defeated boy, sing praises of reality
None of us can fly through the sky like that
If there will be meaning to a night such as this,
we will crawl across the ground
A buzz echoes through my ears
A miracle is inviting me -
"Your dream - to become an admired hero - Why don't I make it come true right now?"
When it's just offered to me like a candy,
I can't be all that happy...
Defeated boy, sing praises of existence
We may not be able to become as radiant as you
But if there will be meaning to a night such as this,
we will crawl across the ground
And yet crawl the ground...
I feel my heartbeat and take a deep breath:
"Thanks, but I'm good."
Defeated...
Defeated boy, sing praises of normalcy
Unfortunately, gods aren't the sorts that should believed
So to this passing story,
farewell...
Defeated boy, sing praises of reality
We will be the ones to crawl through the mud
Because even a night such as this is beloved,
we will crawl across the ground
And just crawl the ground...
