Lyrics & Translation[]
Kanji 曇天の大都市に 耳鳴りがぱちり |
Romaji donten no daitoshi ni miminari ga pachiri |
In this cloudy metropolis the buzzing in my ears clicks away.
There aren't any memories that I really wish for or hold on to.
The leading actors of this great disastrous chaos, the presenters.
With an inheritance of memories and nearby troubles.
In this filthy world,
I laugh in the endless rain.
In this world turned to ashes,
I certainly dreamed I was finite.
The final runner dashes towards the end.
Shall we finish this, right here?
And yet, only once, did that irregular youth,
refuse perfection.
In this world without miracles, or anything else,
if I were able to dream of a cathode-ray tube,
Then wouldn't it be wonderful?
Right now, god will become my target.
An answer for the reincarnation prodigy and after such a long time,
somehow, yearning for normalcy.
In the hustle and bustle of an intersection, the youth is isolated.
Saying 'please, I'll leave the rest to you.'
In this world where we're alone together,
the final apple I held in my hand,
has a well-seasoned flavor,
it so lovingly seemed to me.
The final runner dashes towards the end.
trampling over the ruins of the leading role.
the earth's final chance.
contrary to expectations, was irresponsibly entrusted to me.
In this world without miracles, or anything else,
if I were able to smile at fairy-tales,
then wouldn't that be wonderful?
Right now, god will become my target.
Trudging through this dire situation, and slipping through the net.
The genius images I set up so highly,
with my, in any case cold, life-prolonging treatment
are so pretentious, it's detestable.
Gods are always alone,
Chasing ideals that will never come.
Idiotic us, from the beginning,
We never needed, that candy.
The final runner dashes towards the end.
Shall we finish it, right here?
For the sake of our dreaming,
we wished for a world without dreams.
In a world without this miracle box,
if i were able to live and die as i am,
then wouldn't that be wonderful?
Right now, God will become the target of my final chapter.[2]
