This song has some flowery, provocative imagery, which I find can be tricky to translate--the less literal something gets, the more likely cultural nuance or intended meaning flies over my head. I hadn't heard the song before it was requested, but I ended up liking it a lot!
We don't have any covers of this song yet, but check out the original (Japanese) video! If you make a cover, let me know [Twitter @Hylaster] and I'll update this page! Thanks goes to
A hand outstretched reaching out to grab what lies directly ahead
And the eyes that find a mirage getting torn to shreds
Distorted fragments of truth shift around like shadows in the light
The answer still unfound getting lost in the night
Even when the guidelines fade away or disappear
Even when winding detours lead us nowhere near
On the days that we laugh so that we don’t cry
On the days that we crawl so one day we may fly
The words we hide away won’t find a way to ring out loud and clear
Even if we only find one path from here
And the map of the future is murky and smeared
Chart a course, take just one step, persevere
Suppose the grand truth of the universe lies in a faraway land
And contrast it with the cards already in my hand
Finish the journey only to find that nothing it could show
Would make it worth it to end up there all alone
Each day is one that can’t be returned to
And if you’re alive can you show any proof?
Connections that bring joy will one day bid adieu
So bloom as though rebellious youth
Even if it seems that it’s just a pile of junk
Even if it sounds like tin or the lyrics are bunk
Even if it exists just for everyone else to tear apart
Don’t let anyone say whether it counts as art
Show the world the messages inside your heart
Your song only gets written when you start
On the days that we laugh so that we don’t cry
On the days that we crawl so one day we may fly
The words we hide away won’t find a way to ring out loud and clear
Even if we only find one path from here
And the map of the future is murky and smeared
Chart a course, take just one step, persevere
Herald the dawn of a brand new world today
