Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now I see this way
It looks like purple line
Gotta introduce myself

Fureru koto sae dekinai tte gishin anki ni torawarete
Mi ugoki hitotsu torenai toki mo aru
I really wanna touch myself
Kiseki wo negatte itemo
Jibun no kokoro ga tsuyoku nakucha susume nai right now

Purple line, let me set up my world
Dare mo aruita koto nai this way
Yume wo idaite ikikata wo sagashi tsuzuketeru
Jibun rashiku my progression
Tsuyoi kimochi wo motte kachi togete miseru
Jyounetsu no purple line

Shiren ga osou tabi ni kokoro ga seigyo funou ni natte shimau kedo nige nai sa
Boku ga seichou shite yuku tame no kate dato
Jibun ni ii kikase nagara norikoete yuke right now

Purple line, let me set up my world
Dare mo aruita koto nai this way
Kibou idaite mirai wo mitsume tsuzukete iru
Negai komete my progression
Keshite akirame naide kachi togete miseru
Shinjitsu no purple line

Ima no kono shunkan wo mune ni kizami nagara
Eiga no you ni toki wo egakou
Kinou yorimo kachi aru ima e
Shinka wo togeru yokan imezi shite

Woop! Sekai wa black & white hikari to yami ga south & north, like
Woop! Zen aku ga hohoemi temaneki shiteru shinjita michi wo

My time is still going on

Purple line, let me set up my world
Dare mo aruita koto nai this way
Yume wo idaite ikikata wo sagashi tsuzuketeru
Jibun rashiku my progression
Tsuyoi kimochi wo motte kachi togete miseru

Purple line, let me set up my world

Kibou idaite mirai wo mitsume tsuzukete iru
Negai komete my progression




Keshite akirame naide kachi togete miseru
Shinjitsu no purple line
