月のない空
暗黒の永遠(とわ)
ここから先へ Let's go
絶望を抱え Move on
予測不可能な
未来(あす)に向かおうか
今しかないよLet's go
時間はないよMove on

幻想のヒカリに導かれて
自由の翼を手に入れたら...

空高く高くFly away
誰かと比べないで
貫く孤高のマイウェイ
ほら遠く遠くFar away
大きく弧を描くレインボー
必ずその手で掴む栄光
殻を破り今生まれ変われ

誘惑の閃光
のみこまれそう
惑わされないよ Let's go
孤独な戦士 Move on
自分に勝てるのは
自分だけなんだ
突き抜けようよ Let's go
みなぎる力 Move on

無限の闇に悶えながら
さあ今大地を蹴りあげて

空高く高く Fly away
狙い定めるその先へ
そこから未知のソワニエ
ほら遠く遠く Far away
大きく弧を描くレインボー
くぐり抜けて君をエスコート
時空を超え今生まれ変われ

追いかければ追いかけるほど
誰とも離れていくけれど
じっとしていたって変わらない
二度とないチャンスに立ち向かえ

空高く高く Fly away
誰かと比べないで
貫く孤高のマイウェイ
ほら遠く遠く Far away
大きく弧を描くレインボー
必ずその手で掴む栄光
翼広げ羽ばたいて

風を味方につけたら
この世界で今生まれ変われ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "REBORN" by 遠藤ゆりか speak about overcoming despair and finding strength within oneself to move forward towards a better future. The first verse states that even in a world without the moon and filled with darkness, there is still a path forward - one must move on with the weight of despair and face the unpredictable future. The chorus speaks of being guided by an illusionary light and obtaining the freedom to fly high in the sky without comparing oneself to others, taking a solitary path towards a distant rainbow and glory that must be achieved with one's own hands. The second verse speaks of being snared by the temptation of bright lights, but not being misled by them, challenging oneself to surpass them by harnessing one's true power and breaking out of one's shell to be reborn.

The lyrics encourage the listener to rise above their fears and insecurities, and to push beyond the boundaries of what they believe is possible. They represent a call to embrace the journey towards self-discovery and change, to leave behind the past and pursue a brighter future. The song conveys a message of hope and determination, that even in the midst of darkness, one can find the strength within oneself to shine brightly.
