Lyrical Theme: "Again" by Yui.
I am supposed to pursue my dream
in this narrow winding road, stuttering in the crowds of people
It’s not that I want to return to that past,
I am just searching for the sky I have lost.
I hope you understand.
Don’t show the sad face as if you have been sacrificed.
Tears do not end a sin. We have to carry it with us through
in this maze of feelings with no ends in sight.
Who am I waiting for?
As scribbled on the blank note, I want to be more honest.
What do I want to escape from?
Is it this thing called “reality”?
“For what am I living?”
In the middle of the night as my memories are fading.
I can’t play safe anymore,
but there is nowhere to go too.
There’s still so much in life to remove this feeling.
I will feel nostalgic about it.
I welcome this pain.
I have to apologize for this. Ah, I’m sorry.
I can’t say it well. I’m just causing worries.
Everything that I embraced that day.
Everything that I will embrace tomorrow
I will not arrange them in any order.
I hope you understand. I closed my eyes
but I could still see things I do not want to see.
Unnecessary rumours that I hear for the first time, so what?
“Face it and you will be friends”
Don’t tell lies like these.
My heart being agitated from deep inside,
a burning sensation runs through my body.
Actually I’m expecting something
from this thing called “reality”.
“For what am I living?”
I want to shout it out loud. Can you hear me?
I can’t play safe anymore,
but there is nowhere to go too.
I am grateful for all the kindness,
so I want to become stronger to march on.
I do welcome friends and foes.
How do I open the next door? I’m thinking.
The unretractable story has begun.
Open your eyes. Open your eyes.
There is still so much in life to remove this feeling.
I want to start all over again so that I can complete what I haven’t done.
Shall we go AGAIN?
“For what am I living?”
I want to shout it out loud. Can you hear me?
I can’t play safe anymore,
but there is nowhere to go too.
I am grateful for all the kindness,
so I want to become stronger. I feel the nostalgia.
I welcome this pain.
