Fate
L’Arc~en~Ciel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

凍る 針葉樹の間を
深く 駆け抜ける運命
望み 儚く抱き寄せ
燃える 嵐の渦へ

あぁ 遠ざかる光
あぁ 鼓動の叫びに
切ない程に君を想って
この腕が この胸が
大地を越えて心を越えて
大切な人のために?

長いレールの彼方で誰が笑うというの?

いつ許しあえるのか
いつ終わりが来るのか

止められなくて逃れられない
幻想に操られ
手探りだけで走り続ける
この先が過ちであろうと

何が愛なのか? 何が嘘なのか?
解らない? 無情な時間が迫る?

今しじまを切り裂き
今奴らに降り立つ あぁ
今狙いを定めて
手をかける瞬間に

切ない程に君を想って
この腕が この胸が
凍える程に震える程に
君だけを 君だけを
春が来れば 夜が明ければ
あの空へ あの場所で
Faster than anyone
If I ran through the dark
本当に結ばれるだろうか?





何が愛なのか? 何が嘘なのか?
解らない ただ 君だけが恋しい
