This song seems to be about a personal journey, though some parts suggest that the speaker isn’t the only one undertaking it.


歌詞

瞬きも忘れるほどに 今を走り抜けたくて
選んで掴んだ 光を心へ
形ない太陽のように 眩しくあり続けよう
放った 思いを 全て抱えて

追いかけると消えてしまう
その背中は誰なんだろう
振り返ることもなく 不自然に
忘れた頃 ふいにまた現れるの

(真昼の空)
夢の淵に立たされ 求め続けていく
未だ見ぬ世界と あの影を
(醒めないまま)
自由に踊らされて 見失った希望
集めて 取り戻していく
旅の途中

歪んだ大地をそっと 踏みしめて座り込んだ
悲しく 愛しく 過ぎ去った時間
未来に残す約束 辿り着いてしまったら
灯した 光は 行き場を失くす

遠すぎる旗を見据え
何に怯えているんだろう
越えるべきものが まだ幾つも
散らばっては 此処へ 戻ってくるのに

(叫ぶような)
大きな鐘が鳴って 力を込めた足
このまま 扉を飛び出そう
(鳴りはためく)
止まない風がやがて 僕を乗せるだろう
感じた 思いのままに 進めるように

夢の淵に立たされ 求め続けていく
未だ見ぬ世界と あの影を
自由に踊らされて
見失った希望
集めて 取り戻していくよ

(叫ぶような)
大きな鐘が鳴って 力を込めた足
このまま 扉を飛び出そう
(鳴りはためく)
止まない風がやがて 僕を乗せるだろう
感じた 思いのままに 進めるように

Translation

My desire to run is strong I forget to blink
And I send the light I chose toward my heart.
So it will remain radiant, like a formless sun.
It carries all the hopes I sent its way.

When I chase after that person, they disappear.
I wonder who they are?
They don’t turn back. How unnatural.
The moment I forget about them, they reappear.

(The midday sky.)
Helped to my feet in the abyss of a dream, I’ll continue to search
For a world I haven’t seen yet, and for that figure.
(I can’t wake up.)
Made to dance freely, I lost sight of my hopes.
I’m going to collect them and take them back
During my journey.

I gently trod upon the distorted ground and then sat down.
The time that passed by was so sad, yet so lovely…
Promises, bequeathed to the future. If I arrive,
Then the light I lit will lose its destination.

We stare at an all-too-distant flag.
What are we scared of?
There are still so many things we must overcome,
Though we scatter and return here, time and time again.

(Like a scream,)
The grand bell peals, and with strength in my legs,
I’ll rush out the door, just like this!
(Echoing…)
Soon, the endless wind will carry me
So I may go wherever the emotions I felt will take me.

(The midday sky.)
Helped to my feet in the abyss of a dream, I’ll continue to search
For a world I haven’t seen yet, and for that figure.
(I can’t wake up.)

I’m going to collect them and take them back.

(Like a scream,)
The grand bell peals, and with strength in my legs,
I’ll rush out the door, just like this!
(Echoing…)
Soon, the endless wind will carry me
So I may go wherever the emotions I felt will take me.
