取り巻くこの世界に 白い羽が舞い降りた 限り有るからこそ強く美しく光る 刹那を見つけた 無機質に閉ざされた 虚ろな日々に 初めて夢を見た ―――― キミニ、触レタイ ―――― そんな存在に気付かない君は 「さよなら」って 或る日言った 幾千の月日を越え 目覚めた 積もる想いを 何故、伝える術さえなく 見送る事しか 許されていないの？ 遠離る、影･･･！ No way to tell you my heart せめて 今 伝えさせて！ 奇跡が一粒の涙へ変わった 『永遠』と引き換えに･･･

English
White wings descended lightly to the world that encircles me because it is finite That is why it shines strong and beautifully, I have found that moment In those blank days when I was shut away in lifelessness, I saw a dream for the first time ―――― I want to touch you ―――― You who knew nothing of such existence, one day said "goodbye" Thousands of days and months have passed, awakened are the feelings that have grown for you Why, I don't even have a way to let you know, am I only allowed to watch you go? Fading in the distance, shadows･･･! No way to tell you my heart, at least, let me tell you now! Miracles transformed into a single teardrop in exchange for "eternity"･･･

取り巻くこの世界に 白い羽が 舞い降りた 限り有るからこそ 強く美しく光る 刹那を見つけた 無機質に閉ざされた 虚ろな日々に 初めて夢を見た 『キミニ、触レタイ』 そんな存在に気付かない君は 「さよなら」って 或る日 言った 幾千の月日を越え 目覚めた 積もる想いを 何故、伝える術さえなく 見送る事しか 許されていないの？ ふと見せる表情が 大好きだった 話してくれた夜 幸せだった 回るはずのない 歯車が軋み 回るほどに 堕ちていった 解っていた 叶わぬ恋 だけど 止められなかった 君がいない永遠ほど この世界中に 恐いものはない ―――遠離る、影‥‥――― ―――訪れた、最後の瞬間(とき)――― No way to tell you my heart せめて 今 伝えさせて 例え 何もかも全てを 奪われてもいい せめて この想いを‥‥！ 「―――！！」 奇跡が一粒の涙へ変わった 『永遠』と 引き換えに 取り巻くこの世界に 白い羽が 舞い降りた 限り有るからこそ 強く美しく光る 刹那を‥‥見つけた |
English
White wings descended lightly to the world that encircles me Because it is finite, that is why it shines strong and beautifully I have found that moment In those blank days when I was shut away in lifelessness I saw a dream for the first time "I want to touch you" You who knew nothing of such existence One day said "goodbye" Thousands of days and months have passed Awakened are the feelings that have grown for you Why, I don't even have a way to let you know Am I only allowed to watch you go? I loved that expression that flashed across your face I was happy on those nights you talked to me The gears that will never come to be But it could not be stopped There is nothing scarier in this world than an eternity without you ―――――――― Fading in the distance, shadows ････ ―――――――――――― ――――――― It has arrived, the final moment ――――――――― No way to tell you my heart At least, let me tell you now Even if everything that I have is taken from me, I'm indifferent At least now I feel ････! "―――――――!!" Miracles transformed into a single teardrop In exchange for "eternity" White wings descended lightly to the world that encircles me Shining strong and beautifully for an instant because its finite existence I have found that ････ moment |

Song Production Information
jun
"I, am, here.
Please, notice me, hear, my voice......."
DoLL.
Every day, I keep suppressing my emotions and continue to smile.
Are you sad and want to cry? Even so, you still have to laugh.
Does your chest hurt, and your heart tears apart? ...... Even so, you still have to laugh.
That's the only thing you have to do.
On the other hand, isn't there an eternal time?
"......!!"
"DoLL" is a song which was born within me.
How many people relate with this story?
I hope you can find a bit of a brilliant "moment" in this song.
Yes, anyone...... everyone...... even you......
...... even me.
NAOKI MAEDA
jun is the lyricist and composer of "DoLL", and I'm in charge of arranging it. I was deeply impressed by the singing and piano playing demo given to me by jun, and I remember putting a lot of time and effort in arranging "DoLL" to enhance its worldview, until I thought it was appropriate to include in the HYPER series.
TЁЯRA expresses their belief to always want to keep it pop. That's why we want TЁЯRA's sound to reach as many people as possible.
Video Production Information
GOLI
I was very moved by TЁЯRA's song, and delighted to create a movie for it.
No, I'm being selfish. I'm sorry.
Actually, although it was supposed to only be animations (briefly overlayed in the movie), the song was so good that I ended in an unexpected situation just before I finished work.
I endlessly listened to this song every day since I received it, except for when I slept. On the train, in my workplace at home, and of course whenever I was always at work. When you count the number of times I listened to it, that's a lot of times. But... I never get tired of it. I wonder why.
If the song and lyrics are good, I never get tired of listening to it. In addition, I feel that the fast BPM is comfortable to listen to.
By the way, I unconsciously hum these lyrics while racing my bicycle across Shinjuku.
Anyways, I'm moved that everyone in Japan is playing this song so many times.
As someone who became the number one fan of TЁЯRA, consisting of NAOKI and jun, I'm really looking forward to TЁЯRA's songs from now on.
That's why I started listening to this song again.
