痛い こころが痛むよ
無惨に慣れて 苦しさに飽きて
先を急ぐ遠い旅へ
閉ざされた場所
光で暴く未来
そうだね...私達は愛された
瞬間を思い出して
激しく乱れた ZONE//ALONE
「助けて」の声に呼ばれ
追いかけても 追いかけても
その手が掴めない
確かめる過去は ZONE//ALONE
絶望越えて 探せ!太陽の向こう
更に渇いて満たされぬ星墜ちた
欲しい 明日が欲しいね
無力な事実 重ねれば真実
夢を奪う者を弾く

The lyrics of "ZONE//ALONE" by 茅原実里 explore the theme of feeling alone in a world that can be both beautiful and cruel. The song starts with the singer acknowledging the painful storm within her and the need to find solace and quietness in a world that constantly challenges her. She has learned to adapt to the cruelty and pain that come with life and is ready to embark on a distant journey to escape it.
The second verse talks about the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life, despite the overwhelming feeling of powerlessness and hopelessness. The singer yearns for a bright future that seems elusive, and the song addresses the frustrations and heartbreak that come with this quest. The chorus repeats the "ZONE//ALONE" motif, emphasizing the sense of being trapped and isolated, while also recognizing the power of memories of happier times to sustain and motivate us.
The third verse talks about the importance of love and how it serves as a guiding force in life, providing meaning and hope when everything else seems bleak. The lyrics acknowledge that we all need someone to pray for us and support us through our trials and tribulations. The final chorus repeats the call for help and provides a sense of optimism that there is a way to overcome the struggles of life and find meaning beyond despair.
