TWO-MIX Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
だけど生きてるだけの
永遠なんていらない
Dance revolution
見えない壁を乗り越えてゆく情熱
Chance evolution
何度でも蘇らせて broken heart
出会いから始めれば
なくす物はないよ二人
全ての悲しみを
見つめてゆこうまっすぐ
求める事に傷つき
信じる事に迷いだけど
綺麗なだけの青春なんていらない
Dance revolution
激しさ秘めた まなざしをあきらめない
Chance evolution
伝えたいあなたに描く愛の形を
Dance revolution
砕けた夢に手を伸ばし抱きしめたら
Chance evolution
もう一度輝かせたい broken heart
自分を変えたくて
変われなくて泣いた夜も
今なら少しだけ笑える事に気づいた
矛盾だらけのこの胸
頼りなくまだ揺れる
だけど失敗を誇れる
未来が見えて来るから
Dance revolution
戸惑う痛みすれ違うためらいさえ
Chance evolution
美しく強さに変える愛の力で
Dance revolution
かすかな kiss のぬくもりを確かめたら
Chance evolution
もう二度と眠らせないで broken heart
求める事に傷つき
信じる事に迷いだけど
綺麗なだけの青春なんていらない
Dance revolution
激しさ秘めた まなざしをあきらめない
Chance evolution
伝えたいあなたに描く愛の形を
Dance revolution
砕けた夢に手を伸ばし抱きしめたら
Chance evolution
もう一度輝かせたい broken heart

The singer encourages their loved one to face their fears and pursue their desires boldly, as they embark on a journey together.
