  1. 悲しくって 蹴飛ばした 地面を強く

    Sadly, I kicked the ground hard,

  2. 跳ねっ返る 光に指を立てて

    and pointed my finger at the rebounding light.

  3. 愛したくて 噛み付いた 喉笛深く

    Longing for love, I bit deep into your throat,

  4. その様が あんまりに美しくてさあ

    and oh, the sight was just so beautiful.

  5. 舌を打って 曠野の中 風に抗い

    I clicked my tongue, resisting the wind in the open field,

  6. 夜もすがら 嗄れた産声で歌う

    and all night long, I sang with a hoarse newborn's voice.

  7. 遠く遠く見据えていた 凍て星の先まで

    I gazed far, far ahead, even to the frozen stars beyond.

  8. 痣だらけの心 輝かせて

    My heart, covered in bruises, began to shine,

  9. その姿をいつだって 僕は追いかけていたんだ

    and I was always chasing after that figure.

  10. 転がるように線を貫いて 突き刺していく切っ先を

    Piercing through the lines, like rolling, the sharp tip drives in.

  11. 日陰に咲いたひまわりが 今も夏を待っている

    The sunflower blooming in the shade is still waiting for summer.

  12. 人いきれを裂いて笑ってくれ 僕の奥でもう一度

    Tear through the crowd and smile for me, once more from deep within.

  13. 消し飛べ 散弾銃をぶち抜け 明日へ

    Blast away, pierce through with the shotgun, towards tomorrow.

  14. 吐き出せ 北極星へ舵取れ その手で

    Spit it out, steer towards the North Star with your hands.

  15. 傷ついて 静脈を不意に巡るエレキ

    Wounded, the electricity flows unexpectedly through my veins.

  16. 掻き毟って 吹き荒び 鳴る哀歌

    Tear it apart, raging wind, the lament resounds.

  17. 聴こえているあの時から 少しも絶えぬまま

    Since that moment I heard it, it hasn’t dwindled at all.

  18. 震えるほど全て 消えないぜ

    Everything is trembling, it won't disappear.

  19. その姿がいつだって 僕を映し出していた

    That figure has always reflected me.

  20. もしも同じ街で生まれたら 君のようになれたかな

    If we were born in the same town, could I have become like you?

  21. 日陰に咲いたひまわりが 今も海を見つめてる

    A sunflower blooming in the shade still gazes out at the sea.

  22. 聴こえるなら強く叫んでくれ 僕の名をもう一度

    If you can hear me, scream my name once more with all your might.

  23. 鳴き声 かんかん照りの街路で 佗び戯れ

    In the blaring sun of the bustling streets, cries echo in playful solitude.

  24. 解き放て 乱反射して遠くへ 鳴り響け

    Unleash it, let it scatter and resonate far away.

  25. その姿をいつだって 僕は追いかけていたんだ

    I've always been chasing after that figure, you know.

  26. 転がるように線を貫いて 突き刺していく切っ先を

    Piercing through the line as if rolling, the blade goes deeper.

  27. 日陰に咲いたひまわりが 今も夏を待っている

    A sunflower blooming in the shade still waits for summer.

  28. 人いきれを裂いて笑ってくれ 僕の奥でもう一度

    Cut through the crowd and laugh for me, once more from deep inside.

  29. 消し飛べ 散弾銃をぶち抜け 明日へ

    Blast away, break through with a shotgun, to tomorrow.

  30. 吐き出せ 北極星へ舵取れ その手で

    Spit it out, steer towards the North Star with your own hands.
