この身体を寄せて 感じたものは何?
前をゆく背中に 白い翼を見つけた
kono karada o yosete kanjita mono wa nani?
mae o yuku senaka ni shiroi tsubasa o mitsuketa
What did I feel, when I brought my body closer?
You moved forward, and on your back I found white wings
不可思議に歪んだ景色はきっと
メビウスの輪 出遭いの交差
それ以上踏み込めば戻らぬ掟でも
今向かうよ
fukashigi ni yuganda keshiki wa kitto
mebiusu no wa deai no kousa
sore ijou fumi komeba modoranu okite demo
ima mukau yo
The strangely twisting scenery is surely
a Möbius loop – an crossing of encounters
Even if the rule is that you can’t go back if you step beyond,
I’m on my way now
Aria 仰ぐ空は青く
君の手をぎゅっと握った
Aria aogu sora wa aoku
kimi no te o gyutto nigitta
Aria – The sky above you is blue
I held your hand tightly
銀色の空 誰かの為に
生きるなら強くもなれるかな
覆い隠した何かを放つ
慟哭の境界線 踏み越えたリミットのその先に
giniro no sora dare ka no tame ni
ikiru nara tsuyoku mo nareru kana
ooi kakushita nanika o hanatsu
doukoku no kyoukaisen fumi koeta rimitto no sono saki ni
Under a silver sky, I wonder if it’s even possible
to become strong living for someone else
What I’ve been concealing, I let out
The borderline of weeping – Beyond the limit I crossed over
不思議だね二人の世界 fiction?
メビウスの輪 重なりあった
これ以上深い場所は危険と知ってるよ
そして僕はーーー
fushigi da ne futari no sekai fiction?
mebiusu no wa kasanari atta
kore ijou fukai basho wa kiken to shitteru yo
soshite boku wa —
Isn’t it strange? Are our two worlds fiction?
Möbius loops, overlapped upon each other
I’m fully aware that anywhere deeper than this is dangerous
And so, I —
魔笛の奏 誰かの為に
生きていくのも間違いじゃない
その世界を信じるのなら
慟哭の境界上 その先にあるのは誰の楽園?
mateki no kanade dare ka no tame ni
ikite yuku no mo machigai janai
sono sekai o shinjiru no nara
doukoku no kyoukaisen sono saki ni aru no wa dare no rakuen?
Under the magic flute’s music, it’s not a mistake
to live on for someone elses sake
as long as you believe in their world
On the border of weeping – whose paradise lies beyond?
銀色の空 誰かのために
生きるなら強くもなれるはず
覆い隠すものは何も無い
慟哭の境界線 踏み越えたリミットのその先に
giniro no sora dare ka no tame ni
ikiru nara tsuyoku mo nareru hazu
ooi kakusu mono wa nani mo nai
doukoku no kyoukaisen fumi koeta rimitto no sono saki ni
Under a silver sky, it should be possible
to become strong if you live for someone else
I have nothing to conceal
The borderline of lament – Beyond the limit I crossed over
