目に映る鮮やかな街の色は幻
心のフィルターを透せばそこは荒野
 me ni utsuru azayaka na machi no iro wa maboroshi
 kokoro no FIRUTAA wo touseba soko wa kouya
    The vivid colors of the city
    Are only an illusion
    Looking through the filter of my heart,
    I see it's just a wasteland.

何かがおかしいな　生きる意味は何処にある
太陽が沈んで行く　七色に輝く空
 nanika ga okashii na  ikiru imi wa doko ni aru
 taiyou ga shizunde yuku  nana-iro ni kagayaku sora
    Something doesn't feel right...
    Wherein lies the meaning of life?
    The sun sinks down
    In the blazing seven-colored sky.

ちぎれそうなほど羽根を抻ばした鳥は言う
「私達は空の果て　辿り着く日のため飛ぶ」
 chigiresou na hodo hane wo nobashita tori wa iu
 'watashi-tachi wa sora no hate  tadoritsuku hi no tame tobu'
    With its tattered-looking wings outstetched
    A bird says to me,
    'We fly for the day
    That we can reach the ends of the sky.'

誰もが同じようにこんな弱いわけじゃない
明るく微笑んで　現在を生きればいいのに
 daremo ga onaji you ni konna yowai wake ja nai
 akaruku hohoende  ima wo ikireba ii no ni
    Don't think that
    All people are so weak,
    So smile brightly, because
    You should live in the moment

何かがおかしいと思う気持ちも背負けば
太陽が沈む空　違う意味を与える
 nanika ga okashii to omou kimochi mo seokeba
 taiyou ga shizumu sora  chigau imi wo ataeru
    If you get burdened by the thought
    That something doesn't feel right,
    You'll take the wrong meaning
    From looking at the sunset.

絶望とか悲しみが渦巻く風の中
信じることも出来ずに悲劇を演じてもI can't go my way
 zetsubou toka kanashimi ga uzumaku kaze no naka
 shinjiru koto mo dekizu ni higeki wo enjitemo I can't go my way
    Within the whirlwind
    Of despair and sadness,
    Untrusting, I play my part in a tragedy
    But still, I can't go my way.

裏切られる辛さ　裏切る辛さより
本当の痛みならきっとやわらかくて
ちぎれそうなほど羽根を伸ばした鳥のように
飛ぶために生きようか　生きるため飛ぶのか…What do I do?
 uragirareru tsurasa  uragiru tsurasa yori
 hontou no itami nara kitto yawarakakute
 chigiresou na hodo hane wo nobashita tori no you ni
 tobu tame ni ikiyou ka ikiru tame tobu no ka... What do I do?
    The pain of being betrayed
    When truly felt,
    Is still much more tender
    Than the pain of having betrayed.
    Like a bird
    With its tattered-looking wings outstetched,
    Should I live to fly,
    Or should I fly to live... What do I do?
