There’s actually an MMD PV out there for this song. It implies that Seija is actually talking about herself at the start, and she’s talking about Shinmyoumaru in the final stanza. There aren’t many clues in the original lyrics, so I played it safe this time and went with a ‘safer’ translation.


歌詞

時に笑い 時に嘆く 時に悟り 時に迷う
時に集い 時に競う 時に助け 時に騙す
人はみんな正直だと 人はみんな腹黒いと
アレやコレや答え出して アレやコレや答え忘れ

己の向こうを必死に覗いて
ないものだけ探している

やりたいことやってたら そりゃ嵐だって生まる
嫌われたっていいじゃない たとえ独りでも

哀しいのに哀しくない 楽しいのに楽しくない
そうしてればどっちつかず 独りだって寂しくない
小物だって笑われても いつの日にか大物食らう
その時まで その時まで その時まで その時まで

儚き幻想小脇に抱えて
確かなもの探している

見たい景色見てたら不意に横切った流星
願い事があるから待って行かないで…

「手を伸ばせば届いた」 それが始まりとして
もっともっと伸ばせば きっとある
やりたいことやってたら そりゃ嵐だって生まる
嫌われたっていいじゃない たとえ独りでも

Translation

Sometimes they laugh. Sometimes they cry. Sometimes they understand. Sometimes they’re lost.
Sometimes they meet. Sometimes they fight. Sometimes they help. Sometimes they deceive.
Humans are all honest. Humans are all wicked.
They answer this and that. They forget the answers.

They frantically peek beyond themselves,
searching only for things that aren’t there.

When I did what I wanted to do, a storm was born.
I don’t care if I’m hated, even if I’m alone…

Though it’s sad, it isn’t. Though it’s fun, it isn’t.
It’s all a grey area, just like that. Though I’m alone, I’m not lonely.
Though I’m laughed at for being insignificant, I’ll devour all those bigwigs someday!
Until then, until then, until then, until then…

With a fleeting illusion held under my arms,
I searched for something definite.

Whilst looking at the landscape I wanted to look at, a meteor suddenly passed by.
I have a wish, so wait! Don’t go…

“When I reached out, I laid hands on it.” That was the beginning –
If I reach out even further, it will surely be there!
When I did what I wanted to do, a storm was born.
I don’t care if I’m hated, even if I’m alone…
