I feel like this song is a dialogue between the sun (Meiling) and the moon (any other member of the SDM), but it’s quite open to interpretation!
歌詞
降り注ぐ朝日が
光照らし見る日常
限りなく続てく 広がる地の果てへ
「おはよう」と笑み浮かべ
今日も歩き出し
「さよなら」と手を振る
人々を眺め 涙する
ここから見えている
景色は同じか?
いつも二つ変わらず
この「門扉」で区切られてた
月夜だけ開かれる
誰もが恐れる世界を
守り続ける強さ 優しさを覚える
遠すぎた終点は
見えないままで
手に出来る小さい
欠片 希望 ひとつ残して
ここから見えている
景色は同じで
いつの時代も変わらず
無表情な犠牲者たち
たくさんの弱さが
いつか勇気に変わる時
本当に大事なものが分かるように願う
叶えてくれる夢や
誰かが作る未来なら
違うところへ進む 虹の架かる先へ

Translation
Every day, the morning sun
Shines, flooding down.
It continues to the ends of the Earth…
“Good morning!” They smiled.
Today, too, they set off.
“Goodbye!” They wave their hands.
I gazed upon the humans, and cried.
Can you see the same landscape
From here, too?
The two are always unchanging,
Cut off by this gate.
Only the moonlit night’s door is opened.
I remember kindness,
And the strength of protecting a world in which all are afraid.
Without being able to see the finish line
In the distance,
I leave behind a single fragment,
So small it could fit in my hands.
The landscapes we can see from here
Are the same,
And we see the expressionless sacrifices
Through all ages, forever.
I pray that someday,
When my weaknesses become courage,
I will know what is truly important to me.
If my dream is granted,
Or if my future is made by someone else,
Then I will travel somewhere different – somewhere over the rainbow.
