Alones by Aqua Timez
((The opening theme for the latest season of Bleach. I thought it'd be fitting to post here, considering who introduced me to the series and the message it sends. English translation also included.))
Oreta awai tsubasa
kimi wa sukoshi aosugiru sora ni tsukareta dake sa.
Mou dareka no tame janakute.
Jibun no tame ni waratte ii yo.
Izen toshite shinobiyoru kodoku.
Uchigawa ni tomaru rousoku.
Nigiwau ba ni koukana shandaria to wa urahara ni.
Tarinai kotoba no kubomi o nanide umetaraiin darou.
Mou wakaranai yo...
Semete yume no naka de jiyuu ni oyogetara, anna sora mo iranai no ni.
Kinou made no koto o nuritsubusanakutemo, asu ni mukaeru no ni.
Oreta awai tsubasa
kimi wa sukoshi aosugiru sora ni tsukareta dake sa.
Mou dareka no tame janakute.
Jibun no tame ni waratte ii yo.
Your fragile, folded wings
are just tired from the pure blue sky.
You don't have to force your smiles for anyone.
It's okay to smile for yourself.
That lonely feeling keeps creeping up on me.
A single candle still burns inside.
There shouldn't be an expensive chandelier in a wild place like this.
Can I really bury it all with empty words?
I don't even know anymore...
As long as we can swim freely in our dreams,
we won't need that sky anymore.
Even if you can't let go of the past, I'll still be there to meet you tomorrow.
Your fragile, folded wings
are just tired from the pure blue sky.
You don't have to force your smiles for anyone.
It's okay to smile for yourself.
