Romaji Lyrics

kishinda omoi wo hakidashitai no wa
sonzai no shoumei ga hoka ni nai kara
tsukanda hazu no boku no mirai wa
"songen" to "jiyuu" de mujun shiteru yo

yuganda zanzou wo keshi saritaino wa
jibun no genkai wo sokoni miru kara
jiishiki kajouna boku no mado ni wa
kyonen no KARENDAA, hizuke ga naiyo

keshite RIRAITO shite
kudaranai chou gensou
wasurarenu sonzai kan wo

kishikaisei RIRAITO shite
imi no nai souzou mo
kimi wo nasu gendouryoku zenshin zenrei wo
kure yo

mebaeteta kanjou kitte naite
shosen tada bonyou shitte naite
kusatta kokoro wo, usugitanai uso wo

keshite RIRAITO shite
kudaranai chou genzou
wasurarenu sonzai kan wo

kishikaisei RIRAITO shite
imi no nai souzou mo
kimi wo nasu gendouryoku zenshin zenrei wo
kure yo

English Translation

I want to spew out these jarred thoughts because
There is no other proof of my existence
My future I should have grabbed hold of
Conflicts with “dignity” and “freedom”

I want to erase the distorted afterimage because
I see my limitations there
My overly self-conscious self, by my window
There are no dates in last year’s calendar

Erase and rewrite
The pointless hyper-fantasy
The unforgettable sense of being

Revival, rewrite
The meaningless imagination
And the driving force which moves you
Give it your whole heart and soul

Having cut my budding emotions, I cry
Realizing that after all, I’m just a mediocrity, I cry
A rotted heart, A filthy lie

Erase and rewrite
The pointless ultra-fantasy
The unforgettable sense of being

Revival, rewrite
The meaningless imagination
And the driving force that moves you
Give it your whole heart and soul


KANJI

軋んだ想いを吐き出したいのは
存在の証明が他にないから
掴んだはずの僕の未来は
「尊厳」と「自由」で矛盾してるよ

歪んだ残像を消し去りたいのは
自分の限界をそこに見るから
自意識過剰な僕の窓には
去年のカレンダー、日付がないよ

消してリライトして
くだらない超幻想
忘れられぬ存在感を

起死回生リライトして
意味のない想像も
君を成す原動力全身全霊を
くれよ

芽生えてた感情切って泣いて
所詮ただ凡庸知って泣いて
腐った心を、薄汚い嘘を

消してリライトして
くだらない超幻想
忘れられぬ存在感を

起死回生リライトして
意味のない想像も
君を成す原動力全身全霊を
くれよ
