Lyrics[]
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| 憧れていたのは 誰よりも眩しい光 | akogarete ita no wa dare yori mo mabushii hikari | I’ve been yearning for the light that shined brighter than anyone else’s |
| 圧倒的なヒーローに なりたいとただ願った | attouteki na hiiroo ni naritai to tada negatta | “I want to be a hero unparalleled to no one!” I just wished so |
| 強く赤く燃える 太陽に負けないほどの | tsuyoku akaku moeru taiyou ni makenai hodo no | I started to run to begin this vivid story |
| 鮮烈な物語を 始めようと走り出した | senretsu na monogatari o hajimeyou to hashiridashita | that burns as red and strong as the sun |
| 目が眩んだまま自分さえも | me ga kuranda mama jibun sae mo | It has completely overtaken even me, |
| 追い越してしまった | oikoshite shimatta | who is still dazzled |
| かっこわるくて 情けなくて | kakkowarukute nasakenakute | So uncool, so pathetic |
| 見栄ばかり張った僕だ | mie bakari hatta boku da | Always putting on airs, that’s who I am |
| それを模ったって 空っぽだって | sore o katadotta tte karappo datte | “You just copied that!” “How hollow” |
| ただ目を背けたんだ | tada me o somuketa nda | I just disregarded any of that |
| 酷く痛くて 苦しくなって | hidoku itakute kurushiku natte | It hurts so bad, it now pains me |
| 傍の笑顔すら守れなくて | soba no egao sura mamorenakute | I can’t even protect the smiles of those who near me |
| 震えながら 怯えながら | furue nagara obie nagara | As I tremble, as I get scared, |
| 本当の僕を匿ってた | hontou no boku o kakumatteta | I was hiding my true self |
| 手にしたかったのは どこまでも強い証 | te ni shitakatta no wa doko made mo tsuyoi akashi | What I wanted to have is a perfect strong proof |
| かき集めたガラクタを 宝物だと信じて | kakiatsumeta garakuta o takaramono da to shinjite | I believe that all the junk I’ve gathered up is a treasure |
| 強く赤く燃える 太陽に負けないほどの | tsuyoku akaku moeru taiyou ni makenai hodo no | Holding up my passionate heart that burns as red and strong as the sun, |
| 熱い心を掲げて 「ついてこい」と旗を振った | atsui kokoro o kakagete "tsuite koi" to hata o futta | I showed the way as I said “follow me!” |
| 振り返れば仲間たちとはとうに | furikaereba nakamatachi to wa tou ni | When I look back, I’ve lost sight of my friends |
| はぐれてしまった | hagurete shimatta | from a long time ago. |
| どっちつかずで やるせなくて | docchitsukazu de yarusenakute | Being indecisive, so miserable |
| 嘘ばかりついた僕だ | uso bakari tsuita boku da | Only lies ever came from my mouth |
| 何度強がったって わかってるんだ | nando tsuyogatta tte wakatteru nda | No matter how much I pretended to be brave, I know |
| 本当は怖いだけだ | hontou wa kowai dake da | that the truth is I’m just scared |
| 酷く寒くて 寂しくなって | hidoku samukute samishiku natte | It’s so cold, I now feel lonely |
| いつかまた笑いあえるかな | itsuka mata waraiaeru ka na | I wonder if we’ll smile together again someday |
| その時には 僕は僕を | sono toki ni wa boku wa boku o | When that time comes, will I be able to |
| 認めてあげられるだろうか | mitomete agerareru darou ka | accept who I am, I wonder? |
| どうか 照らしてよ | douka terashite yo | I beg you, shine it on |
| 一人じゃ意味がなかったんだ | hitori ja imi ga nakatta nda | If I’m all alone, then there’s no meaning to it |
| 雲が空を泳ぐように | kumo ga sora o oyogu you ni | Just like how the clouds swim through the skies |
| 風が雲を運ぶように | kaze ga kumo o hakobu you ni | Just like how the wind carries the clouds away |
| 星が風に靡くように | hoshi ga kaze ni nabiku you ni | Just like how the stars yield to the wind |
| 朝陽が今日も昇るように | asahi ga kyou mo noboru you ni | Just like how the sun rises today too |
| 僕はいつだって僕だった | boku wa itsu datte boku datta | I will always be who I am |
| 着飾ったって変わらない | kikazattatte kawaranai | No matter how I dress myself, that fact will never change |
| それでも前に 前に進むよ | sore demo mae ni mae ni susumu yo | However I’m still, I’m still moving forward |
| それがきっと明日になる | sore ga kitto asu ni naru | Surely, that will become tomorrow |
| あの日見たヒーローは | ano hi mita hiiroo wa | The hero I saw that day |
| 完璧なんかじゃなくて | kanpeki nanka janakute | is not that flawless |
| ただどんなに傷だらけでも | tada donna ni kizudarake demo | It’s just, no matter how much wounds they have, |
| 立ち上がる勇気があった | tachiagaru yuuki ga atta | they have the courage to stand up |
| もう逃げないよ 隠さないよ | mou nigenai yo kakusanai yo | I won’t run away or hide anymore |
| 心の行方が見えたのなら | kokoro no yukue ga mieta no nara | If I could see where my heart is headed |
| この痛みも 弱さも | kono itami mo yowasa mo | Even this pain, my weaknesses, |
| 一緒につれてゆくから | issho ni tsurete yuku kara | I’ll take them all with me |
| かっこわるくて 情けなくて | kakkowarukute nasakenakute | So uncool, so pathetic |
| 見栄ばかり張った僕だ | mie bakari hatta boku da | Always putting on airs, that’s who I am |
| それを模ったって 空っぽだって | sore o katadotta tte karappo datte | “I just copied that” “How hollow” |
| やっと気付けたんだ | yatto kizuketa nda | I’ve finally realized that |
| 酷く痛くて 苦しくなって | hidoku itakute kurushiku natte | It hurts so bad, it now pains me |
| 傍の笑顔すら守れなくて | soba no egao sura mamorenakute | I can’t even protect the smiles of those who near me |
| それでもまた 立ち上がるよ | sore demo mata tachiagaru yo | But even so, I stand up once more |
| 僕は僕のヒーローだから | boku wa boku no hiiroo dakara | Because I’m my own hero |
| ヒーローだから | hiiroo dakara | Because I’m a hero |
