Lyrics
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| ある朝目を覚ますと、世界が終わっていて | aru asa me o samasu to, sekai ga owatte ite | As I woke up one morning, I noticed that the world had ended. |
| 音もなくて色もなくて、ボクは一人ボクは独り | oto mo nakute iro mo nakute, boku wa hitori boku wa hitori | There was no sound, nor any color. There was only me. I was alone |
| 夢見がちな年頃 これもまた夢だろう | yumemigachi na toshigoro kore mo mata yume darou | I’m at an age where I dream a lot. So this is just another dream, right? |
| 記憶が曖昧で ボクは誰で、ボクは誰だ？ | kioku ga aimai de boku wa dare de, boku wa dare da? | My memories are so hazy. Who am I supposed to be, who am I? |
| あれ、何もわからない 広がる モノクローム | are, nani mo wakaranai hirogaru monokuroomu | Huh, I don’t get anything at all. Inside of this monochrome world. |
| ああ、嫌な夢なら 覚めてくれよ、困っちゃうな | aa, iya na yume nara samete kure yo, komatchau na | Ah, if it’s going to be an unpleasant dream, then please wake me up, being here is so troublesome! |
| どちらが上か下なんて、もう分からないけど | dochira ga ue ka shita nante, mou wakaranai kedo | I don’t know the difference between what’s up and down but |
| 立ち往生、格好悪いな なら一歩前に進むよ | tachioujou, kakkouwarui na nara ippo mae ni susumu yo | Being at standstill is so uncool. So let’s take another step! |
| 走る、走る その手伸ばして | hashiru, hashiru sono te nobashite | Run, run, let’s extend this arm and |
| ボクが此処にいる理由を探そう | boku ga koko ni iru riyuu o sagasou | Find out the reason why I’m here! |
| 走れ、走れ 地面を蹴って | hashire, hashire jimen o kette | Run! Run! Kick the ground! |
| ボクは何にもない明日を目指す | boku wa nanni mo nai asu o mezasu | I am aiming at the empty tomorrow |
| 家族は居たのだろうか？ 友達、恋人、兄弟 | kazoku wa ita no darou ka? tomodachi, koibito, kyoudai | Did I ever have a family? Friends? A lover? Siblings? |
| 全てが色あせてて 分からないよ 解れないよ | subete ga iroasetete wakaranai yo wakarenai yo | Everyone has faded away. I don’t know anymore! It doesn’t make sense! |
| あれ、時間もわからない 崩れる景色、世界 | are, jikan mo wakaranai kuzureru keshiki, sekai | Ah, I wonder what time it is, inside of this world with a crumbling scenery. |
| ああ、なんて日だろう 神頼みも、したくなるさ | aa, nante hi darou kamidanomi mo, shitaku naru sa | Ah, I wonder what day it is, I kinda want to ask god for help! |
| どちらが過去か未来とか、曖昧な此処でも | dochira ga kako ka mirai toka, aimai na koko demo | It’s so difficult to know what’s the past and what is the future, but |
| 立ち止まったら全て終わりさ なら何歩だって進むよ | tachidomattara subete owari sa nara nanpo datte susumu yo | If I stop then it’s the end. So, I’ll take as many steps as I need! |
| 走る、走る 何を目指して？ | hashiru, hashiru nani o mezashite? | Run, run, what am I aiming at? |
| ボクの大切な、物を探そう | boku no taisetsu na, mono o sagasou | Let’s try to find my most valuable belongings. |
| 走れ、走れ 自ら蹴って | hashire, hashire mizukara kette | Run, run, throw away my old self! |
| ボクは何でもない、昨日を目指すから | boku wa nandemonai, kinou o mezasu kara | I am nothing, since I’m aiming for yesterday. |
| 走る、走る その手伸ばして | hashiru, hashiru sono te nobashite | Run, run, extend that hand |
| 走る、走る 何を目指して？ | hashiru, hashiru nani o mezashite? | Run, run, what am I aiming for? |
| 走る、走る その目開いて | hashiru, hashiru sono me hiraite | Run, run, open those eyes and |
| ボクが此処に来た理由を探そう | boku ga koko ni kita riyuu o sagasou | Find the reason to why I came here! |
| 走れ、走れ 全てを蹴って | hashire, hashire subete o kette | Run! Run! Kick everything away |
| ボクは変えられない 今を生きる | boku wa kaerarenai ima o ikiru | I can’t return, so I’ll live in the now. |
| 終わった世界で見つけた 大切な物はずっと | owatta sekai de mitsuketa taisetsu na mono wa zutto | I found it in this ended world the most important things |
| 最初から胸の中にある ボクは一人 ボクは一つ | saisho kara mune no naka ni aru boku wa hitori boku wa hitotsu | Were from the beginning inside of my heart. I am alone. I am one. |
