"Rakuen no Tobari" by Y A M A T O from White Bound
Shiroi mikatzuki machi wo miorusi koro ni
Aoi meikyuu kara mashuo ga mezame hajimaru
Ah... tsumibukai kono chijou boy (boy)
Believing dreaming
Boku tachi wa (yea) sagashiteru (yea)
Tamashii no mezasubeki basho wo
Ah... dore kurai fukai yami hikari ni
Kaetara sekai no iro ga kawaru? (ah itsuka kitto)
Ah... dore kurai fukai nazo ikutsu mo
Toitara rakuen no doa wa hiraku? (hiraku)
Bokura no tabi wo start hajimeyou
Nagai akumu ni dare mo utasareta mama
Itsuka nareteku doku ni shibareru you ni
Ah.. kaosu ni michita koko kara boy ( boy )
Flying awakening
Kurikaesu (yea) ayamachi no (yea)

Ah... dore kurai tooku made tabishite
Kaereba wakaru no? Kami no philosophy (ah itsuka kitto)
Ah... dore kurai nagai toki tabi shite
Ishiki wa shinden no doa wo hiraku? (hiraku)
Mirai shinwa (wo) start tsukurouyo
Kimi ga yukunara tsute yukitai hatesbau shinbi toki akase
Ah... dore kurai fukai yami hikari ni
Kaetara sekai no iro ga kawaru? (ah itsuka kitto)
Ah... dore kurai fukai nazo ikutsu mo
Toitara rakuen no doa wa hiraku? (hiraku)
Bokura no tabi wo start hajimeyou
Translation: "Door to Paradise"
As the white crescent moon looks down on the street
The devilishness begins to awaken from the blue labyrinth
Ah, on this sinful earth, boy (boy)
Believing Dreaming
We are searching
For the place that souls should aim for
Ah, how much, if the deep darkness turned to light,
Would the color of the world change? (Ah, someday surely)
Ah, how much, if we solve so many deep riddles,
Will the door to paradise open? (open)
Start our journey, let's begin
Everyone is dreaming a long nightmare
Someday you get used to it, like being numbed by poison
Ah, from this place filled with chaos, boy (boy)
Flying Awakening
Unfasten the chains of the endless cycle
Of repeating mistakes
Ah, how much, if we return from a distant journey,
Will we understand? God's Philosophy (Ah, someday surely)
Ah, how much, will the consciousness that journeyed a long time
Open the door to the temple? (open)
Start the future legend, let's create it
If you are going, I want to follow, unraveling the endless mystery
Ah, how much, if the deep darkness turned to light,
Would the color of the world change? (Ah, someday surely)
Ah, how much, if we solve so many deep riddles,
Will the door to paradise open? (open)
Start our journey, let's begin
These lyrics have left quite a deep impact on me. After all, I still see myself as a lost soul, wandering around aimlessly, searching for the real me, searching for a place to rest my tired soul, searching for the Ultimate Truth, whatever it may be. A long time has passed since I embarked on my search, yet I see no end to it at all. Maybe this search is an unending one, where the answers I seek come from the journey and not the destination.
Wherever the answers may be, I shall await the day my door to paradise opens. Hopefully, my questions will be answered.
