• Lyrics
• Alternate translation

Japanese	Romaji	English
ガラクタばかりを集めて	garakuta bakari o atsumete	Collecting nothing but trash,
ボロ切れひとつを被せた	borogire hitotsu o kabuseta	covered with a single torn rag,
醜い形をしたレプリカ	minikui katachi o shita repurika	is a replica with a hideous form.
誰かが紡いだ言葉を	dareka ga tsumuida kotoba o	A tale someone spun,
誰かが奏でた音色を	dareka ga kanadeta neiro o	the timbre at which someone played a song,
歪にコラージュした偽物	ibitsu ni koraaju shita nisemono	made and distorted into a collage of fakes.
一番最初はベイルの中	ichiban saisho wa beiru no naka	In the very beginning,
革新的な少年の愛情が	kakushinteki na shounen no aijou ga	there was progressive youthful love under a veil
僕ら気付いたらもう見えなくなる	bokura kizuitara mou mienaku naru	When we notice it, it disappears,
おもちゃを無くした子供が泣いている	omocha o nakushita kodomo ga naite iru	crying like a child who’s lost a toy
どうしてだろう？	doushite darou?	Why is that so?
あのスポットライトに照らされている	ano supottoraito ni terasarete iru	That spotlight is shining on me.
その背中はまたこの手から遠ざかっていく	sono senaka wa mata kono te kara toozakatte iku	Your back turned, you are once more getting farther from my reach.
あなたみたいになれやしなくて	anata mitai ni nareyashinakute	I couldn’t become anything like you
あの月を追いかけるように	ano tsuki o oikakeru you ni	Like I was chasing after the moon
渇いた心は満たされないまま	kawaita kokoro wa mitasarenai mama	My thirsting heart remains unquenched.
一人になって一人になって	hitori ni natte hitori ni natte	Becoming alone, becoming alone,
くすんだ夢を見続けてしまった	kusunda yume o mitsuzukete shimatta	We trace over,
なぞる僕たちは	nazoru bokutachi wa	as we continued to have sombre dreams.
ガラクタだって、ボロ切れだって	garakuta datte, borogire datte	It’s trash, it’s rags
その心臓が放つ血液には	sono shinzou ga hanatsu ketsueki ni wa	The blood leaking from your heart
僕だけの怒りがあった	boku dake no ikari ga atta	held anger only from myself.
足りないのなんだったんだろう	tarinai no nan datta ndarou	‘What is it I lacked?’
神様に聞いてきたあとで	kamisama ni kiite kita ato de	After I asked God,
堕天使の弓矢に口止めされた	datenshi no yumiya ni kuchidome sareta	the arrow of a fallen angel struck to silence me.
初めから知っていたんだよ	hajime kara shitte ita nda yo	I knew it from the start.
忘れた芝居をしてんだよ	wasureta shibai o shite nda yo	I was putting on a show that I'd forgotten.
貰いもんの剣を抱きしめている	morai mon no tsurugi o dakishimete iru	I’m holding close the sword you gave me.
何十回目の失望だろう？	nanjukkai me no shitsubou darou?	How many times have I been disappointed?
いっそ何もかもを捨ててしまいたいと	isso nanimokamo o sutete shimaitai to	‘I’d rather just throw away everything,’
きっと最後は何も残らない	kitto saigo wa nani mo nokoranai	Surely, nothing will be left in the end.
愛も、紡いだ音も、名前も朽ちていく	ai mo, tsumuida ne mo, namae mo kuchite iku	The love, the songs I made up, my name, it’s all withering away too.
どうしてだろう？	doushite darou?	Why is that so?
この胸の奥にこびり付いている	kono mune no oku ni kobiritsuite iru	Clinging to my heart
冬の夜の静寂に似た孤独を	fuyu no yoru no shijima ni nita kodoku o	is a loneliness not unlike the silence of a winter night
あなたはきっと知りもしないで	anata wa kitto shiri mo shinaide	Surely, you were watching the stars alone
一人星を見ていた	hitori hoshi o mite ita	in all your ignorance,
赤い目の僕に気も留めないまま	akai me no boku ni ki mo tomenai mama	still paying no heed to me, my eyes bloodshot.
隣に立ったあなたは遠くて	tonari ni tatta anata wa tookute	You, who stood next to me, are getting farther
くすんだ夢も見えなくなってしまって	kusunda yume mo mienaku natte shimatte	Those sombre dreams may be fading out of view
それでも追い続けて	soredemo oitsuzukete	But you should continue to chase them.
偽物だって、真実(ほんとう)だって	nisemono datte, hontou datte	It’s a fake, it’s the truth,
今振り返ればただそこには	ima furikaereba tada soko ni wa	If I turned back now, I would only see that
ぼやけた記憶があった	boyaketa kioku ga atta	those fuzzy memories were there
廃物と化したアイロニー	haibutsu to kashita aironii	Waste and a converted irony,
クリシェを抜け出したいのに	kurishe o nukedashitai no ni	I tried to break free from cliche, and yet,
「また誰かの焼き直し？」	"mata dareka no yakinaoshi?"	‘Is this a rehash of someone else’s work?’
数多の星の屑たち	amata no hoshi no kuzutachi	The stardust is countless
沈み消えゆくユースタシー	shizumi kieyuku yuusutashii	A eustasy sinks and disappears
無慈悲な月の光	mujihi na tsuki no hikari	The moonlight is merciless
「アイデンティティさえまやかし？」	"aidentiti sae mayakashi?"	‘Is my identity a sham, too?’
「盗んででも愛が欲しい？」	"nusunde demo ai ga hoshii?"	‘Do you want love so much you’d resort to theft?’
羊のような雲が浮かんだ昼すぎ	hitsuji no you na kumo ga ukanda hirusugi	Afternoon, when sheep-like clouds were floating in the sky
懐かしい歌が風に揺れている	natsukashii uta ga kaze ni yurete iru	A nostalgic song wavers in the wind
あなたの声で教えて貰った言葉	anata no koe de oshiete moratta kotoba	The words that you said to me
今でも忘れぬように	ima demo wasurenu you ni	I’ve written the same thing down
書き留めてる同じことを	kakitometeru onaji koto o	so I won’t forget them, even now
あなたみたいになれやしなくて	anata mitai ni nareyashinakute	I couldn’t become anything like you
あの月を追いかけるように	ano tsuki o oikakeru you ni	Like I was chasing after the moon
渇いた心は満たされないまま	kawaita kokoro wa mitasarenai mama	My thirsting heart remains unquenched.
時間が経って時間が経って	jikan ga tatte jikan ga tatte	Time pases, time passes,
振り返る時目を逸らさぬように	furikaeru toki me o sorasanu you ni	We trace over,
なぞる僕たちは	nazoru bokutachi wa	So that we won’t avert our eyes when the time comes to turn back and look.
ガラクタだって、ボロ切れだって	garakuta datte, borogire datte	It’s trash, it’s rags,
醒めぬ夢を追っていった先には	samenu yume o otte itta saki ni wa	Beyond the pursuit of a dream we will never wake from,
僕だけの光が、ずっと	boku dake no hikari ga, zutto	my light, and only mine, will always be there

Japanese	Romaji	English
ガラクタばかりを集めて	garakuta bakari o atsumete	Having gathered nothing but trash,
ボロ切れひとつを被せた	borogire hitotsu o kabuseta	I threw a rag over it -
醜い形をしたレプリカ	minikui katachi o shita repurika	A replica that took on an unsightly form
誰かが紡いだ言葉を	dareka ga tsumuida kotoba o	The words someone wove,
誰かが奏でた音色を	dareka ga kanadeta neiro o	And the timbre that someone played -
歪にコラージュした偽物	ibitsu ni koraaju shita nisemono	They're nothing but a distorted collage of lies
一番最初はベイルの中	ichiban saisho wa beiru no naka	In the veil, the first thing to ever spring was
革新的な少年の愛情が	kakushinteki na shounen no aijou ga	The affection of an ingenious boy
僕ら気付いたらもう見えなくなる	bokura kizuitara mou mienaku naru	Before any of us noticed, it disappears -
おもちゃを無くした子供が泣いている	omocha o nakushita kodomo ga naite iru	A child cries, having lost their toy.
どうしてだろう？	doushite darou?	Why is that?
あのスポットライトに照らされている	ano supottoraito ni terasarete iru	That spotlight shines on you;
その背中はまたこの手から遠ざかっていく	sono senaka wa mata kono te kara toozakatte iku	Your back distances itself from my hand again
あなたみたいになれやしなくて	anata mitai ni nareyashinakute	I can't become like you -
あの月を追いかけるように	ano tsuki o oikakeru you ni	So as to chase that moon
渇いた心は満たされないまま	kawaita kokoro wa mitasarenai mama	My thirstful heart remains unsatisfied
一人になって一人になって	hitori ni natte hitori ni natte	Being alone, being alone,
くすんだ夢を見続けてしまった	kusunda yume o mitsuzukete shimatta	We've continued to see dull dreams
なぞる僕たちは	nazoru bokutachi wa	Us, who trace our reveries
ガラクタだって、ボロ切れだって	garakuta datte, borogire datte	Even if it's trash, even if it's rags,
その心臓が放つ血液には	sono shinzou ga hanatsu ketsueki ni wa	The blood my heart leaks
僕だけの怒りがあった	boku dake no ikari ga atta	Held only my wrath
足りないのなんだったんだろう	tarinai no nan datta ndarou	Once I asked God,
神様に聞いてきたあとで	kamisama ni kiite kita ato de	"What is it that I lacked?",
堕天使の弓矢に口止めされた	datenshi no yumiya ni kuchidome sareta	A fallen angel's bow and arrow had silenced me
初めから知っていたんだよ	hajime kara shitte ita nda yo	I've known from the start;
忘れた芝居をしてんだよ	wasureta shibai o shite nda yo	I've been acting as though I've forgotten it
貰いもんの剣を抱きしめている	morai mon no tsurugi o dakishimete iru	I'm holding tightly to the sword I've been handed
何十回目の失望だろう？	nanjukkai me no shitsubou darou?	How many times now have I been let down?
いっそ何もかもを捨ててしまいたいと	isso nanimokamo o sutete shimaitai to	I want to throw every single thing away
きっと最後は何も残らない	kitto saigo wa nani mo nokoranai	So that surely, in the end, nothing remains;
愛も、紡いだ音も、名前も朽ちていく	ai mo, tsumuida ne mo, namae mo kuchite iku	Neither love, nor the sounds I've woven, and not even my name - they'll all rot away
どうしてだろう？	doushite darou?	Why is that?
この胸の奥にこびり付いている	kono mune no oku ni kobiritsuite iru	It's as if something is stuck within the depths of my heart;
冬の夜の静寂に似た孤独を	fuyu no yoru no shijima ni nita kodoku o	It's this loneliness like a desolate, silent winter night
あなたはきっと知りもしないで	anata wa kitto shiri mo shinaide	Surely, you've been staring
一人星を見ていた	hitori hoshi o mite ita	At the stars alone, unknowingly
赤い目の僕に気も留めないまま	akai me no boku ni ki mo tomenai mama	Taking no notice of these reddened eyes of mine
隣に立ったあなたは遠くて	tonari ni tatta anata wa tookute	Now that you've become closer to me, you are yet distant.
くすんだ夢も見えなくなってしまって	kusunda yume mo mienaku natte shimatte	These dull dreams disappear, and yet
それでも追い続けて	soredemo oitsuzukete	I keep chasing after them.
偽物だって、真実(ほんとう)だって	nisemono datte, hontou datte	Even if it's fake, even if it's true,
今振り返ればただそこには	ima furikaereba tada soko ni wa	If I were to turn around right now, all there would be behind me
ぼやけた記憶があった	boyaketa kioku ga atta	Are blurred and indistinct memories
廃物と化したアイロニー	haibutsu to kashita aironii	The irony of becoming a waste;
クリシェを抜け出したいのに	kurishe o nukedashitai no ni	Even though I want to break free of clichés…
「また誰かの焼き直し？」	mata dareka no yakinaoshi?	"Are you copying someone again?"
数多の星の屑たち	amata no hoshi no kuzutachi	Stellar debris of numerous stars;
沈み消えゆくユースタシー	shizumi kieyuku yuusutashii	Eustacies that sink and fade away from sight
無慈悲な月の光	mujihi na tsuki no hikari	And the ruthless light of the moon.
「アイデンティティさえまやかし？」	aidentiti sae mayakashi?	"Is your identity in itself a fraud?"
「盗んででも愛が欲しい？」	nusunde demo ai ga hoshii?	"Do you want to be loved, even if you have to steal affection?"
羊のような雲が浮かんだ昼すぎ	hitsuji no you na kumo ga ukanda hirusugi	An afternoon where sheep-like opaque clouds float;
懐かしい歌が風に揺れている	natsukashii uta ga kaze ni yurete iru	And a nostalgic song is carried swaying in the wind
あなたの声で教えて貰った言葉	anata no koe de oshiete moratta kotoba	The words you've given me in that voice of yours,
今でも忘れぬように	ima demo wasurenu you ni	Even now, I'll write the same gist of them down,
書き留めてる同じことを	kakitometeru onaji koto o	So as to never forget!
あなたみたいになれやしなくて	anata mitai ni nareyashinakute	I can't become like you;
あの月を追いかけるように	ano tsuki o oikakeru you ni	So as to chase that moon
渇いた心は満たされないまま	kawaita kokoro wa mitasarenai mama	My thirstful heart remains unsatisfied
時間が経って時間が経って	jikan ga tatte jikan ga tatte	Time passes by, time passes by;
振り返る時目を逸らさぬように	furikaeru toki me o sorasanu you ni	And every time you look back, don't avert your gaze
なぞる僕たちは	nazoru bokutachi wa	From us, who trace our reveries
ガラクタだって、ボロ切れだって	garakuta datte, borogire datte	Even if it's trash, even if it's rags,
醒めぬ夢を追っていった先には	samenu yume o otte itta saki ni wa	At the end, when I have chased this dream I can't wake up from,
僕だけの光が、ずっと	boku dake no hikari ga, zutto	The light will be only mine forever!
