I can’t help but feel that this track involves murder of some kind. The lyrics seem a bit vague, though, so make of them what you will.
歌詞
着飾る指 重ねて 隠していく 本音は
夢とかいう言葉で 片付けられないはずよ
この両手に 抱えた 無数の糸 希望が
いずれこの身 締め付け 絡め取られて お終い
高まり続けていくの 何度でも諦めない
他の誰よりも強く 誰でもない私から
静まれ喧騒の中 昨日より輝いてく
譲れない眩しい光
白く染まる夜に 声高く響かせる
甘いだけの幻想 そこまで届いてる?
花を摘む指先 棘を刺す悪戯を
身に走る痛覚が 思い出すあの日々を
見据えてきた世界に 君は色を塗り替え
静寂への始まり 私の目に宿る白
尖り続けた野望 押し殺した吐く息
ありのままの姿へ 生まれ変わり巻き戻る
夜の光は真実 羨むことすら認め
否定する過ちから 振り返る足跡へと
間違ってはいなかった 陰る君の目と音が
静かに過去に変わってく
手を伸ばした先は 何故かいつも届かず
どうしてと自問する 身体が軋んでく
暗がり怯えてる 弱いままの私を
君はどんな時でも 笑って許してたね
白く染まる夜に
声高く響かせる

Translation
My true opinions, which I conceal by laying decorated fingers on top of each other,
Shouldn’t be able to be cleared away using words such as ‘dreams.’
The countless strings of hope that I held in my arms
Will soon tighten around me. I’ll be entwined. It’ll be the end of me.
I will continue to rise. I will never give up.
I’ll become stronger than anyone else, because I’m nothing special.
Be still within the chaos. I will shine more than yesterday.
I won’t surrender this radiant light.
In a night dyed white, I call out with a loud voice.
Will my voice reach that naive illusion?
I pluck out a flower, and thorns pierce my fingertips as a prank.
Upon feeling pain race down my body, I remember those days…
You change colours in the world I wound up gazing at.
A descent into silence has begun. Whiteness rests in my eyes.
My ambitions had grown sharper. I concealed my breathing.
I am born again into the form I was meant to have. I turn back…
Truth is the light at night. Even envying is approved.
I turn away from the mistakes I reject, and they turn into footprints.
I wasn’t wrong. Your eyes and sounds grow cloudy…
Silently, they become the past.
For some reason, my hands never reach what I stretch them out towards.
I ask myself why. My body creaks.
I was afraid of the dark, and I was still so weak.
No matter when, you always smiled and forgave me, right?
In a night dyed white,
I will call out with a loud voice.
