Kimeru Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

現実と幻想の境界線が見えない
Realな夢にあえて自ら迷い込んでいる
有りっ丈の希望を胸に抱いて
呼び続けるさ声がなくなるまで

我武者羅に駆け抜けてきたのさ腕を伸ばして
執念を原動力に変え zenkai にした
歯を食いしばり涙流したけど

俺は遂に手に入れた夢の piece(かけら)

ゆずれない願い天(そら)に託して
叫ぶぜ! 光見えるまで
想いはきっと鏡に映るから
描き続けよう way to the dream

現実と幻想が絡み合い同化していく
Realな夢+(と)不安=(が)Realを侵食 ING(ちゅう)
完璧な世界が欲しい訳じゃないよ
けど出来るなら妥協をしたくはない

疼くmy desire 満たし切れない
どれだけ叶えたとしても
想いはきっと鏡に映るから
描き続けよう way to the dream

Oh, 0h... 哀しみ痛みすべて取り払うことはできない
神様は時として残酷に手招いて...
そんな憂鬱な気持ち歌い飛ばしていこうぜ!

ゆずれない願い天(そら)に託して
唄うぜ! 光見えるまで
想いはきっと鏡に映るから
描き続けよう way to the dream

I can't stop. I can't stop. I can't stop my Desire
I can't stop. I can't stop. I can't stop my Desire
