約束
FictionJunction YUUKA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
風はもうすぐ嵐になって夜明けを運ぶ
見捨てた夢だった、 子供の頃
秘密の隠れ家に書いて消した
潰えた星の見送り方を
泣きながら覚えた
こんなに激しい過去と未来、 僕等の進む道
自分らしさを演じることに疲れて眠る
毎日捨てては生まれ変わる見知らない心を
僕等は自分と呼び続けてる、 そんな約束
また一つ分かれた行き止まりで
変わらぬ運命だと眩いても
分かり合えずに言葉反らした
日々がただ悲しい
あの時泣いてた僕の為に僕はまだ明日を
最果ての歌のように甘く信じ続ける
風はもうすぐ嵐になって未来は降り注ぎ
果たせずに今日も一つ落ちた遠い約束
こんなに激しい過去と未来、 僕等の進む道
たった一度だけ笑うために 嵐を超えて
約束のない世界がいつか僕等を呼ぶ頃に
最果ての歌が遠く甘く聞こえればいい
風の作る道を・・・・・・
