Japanese

素晴らしき世界に今日も乾杯
街に飛び交う笑い声も
見て見ぬフリしてるだけの作りもんさ
気が触れそうだ
クラクラするほどの良い匂いが
ツンと刺した鼻の奥
目を覚ます本能のまま
今日は誰の番だ？

この世界で何が出来るのか
僕には何が出来るのか
ただその真っ黒な目から
涙溢れ落ちないように

願う未来に何度でもずっと
喰らいつく
この間違いだらけの世界の中
君には笑ってほしいから
もう誰も傷付けない
強く強くなりたいんだよ
僕が僕でいられるように

* 素晴らしき世界は今日も安泰
  街に渦巻く悪い話も
  知らない知らないフリして目を逸らした
  正気の沙汰じゃないな
  真面目に着飾った行進
  鳴らす足音が弾む行き先は
  消えない消えない味が染み付いている
  裏側の世界

※ただ君を守るそのために
  走る走る走るんだよ
  僕の中の僕を超える

English

Ah, so what a scene, let's do another toast to confine
Match a city, overflowing laughing voices are
Pretended fabrications of a lie, blinded eye, deception
I'm trying not to go mad
Could a, could an aroma come and feed the brain in tune
With stimulation, reawaken inclinations
Don't know who's gonna go there today, I wonder

If I kept trying then, what can I, that cannot be done
On to the world, what can I, that cannot be done
Looking in those dark little eyes, I decide
I need to not once let your tear fall beneath

Get out to find it now, don't ever let go
The brighter future knows to reach it
Even when the world is caught and full of wrong
Keep needing ya to laugh and be free for once
No, I cannot be hurting no one
I wanted, I wanted to be stronger now
Woken to resume my need to stay the real me

* So what a scene, here's to another safely passed time
  Masking every new bad rumor flowing in the city
  Feel the lie, feel the lie, release to turn a blind eye
  Choking on their own hysteria
  Marching with an innocence, they proceed
  To a location echoing the sound of feet skipping and
  Feeling high, feeling high, memories of a lasting flavor
  The other side's insanity

※ I'm gonna keep ya from danger, there are too many
   I'm running, I'm running, I'm running for you
   I will overcome what is residing for you
