聞こえるなら 手を伸ばして 凍てつく空 青く染まるまで Ah 途切れてく景色 何度でもつむぐように 白い息の中で目を覚ます 感情が今震える 聞こえるなら 手を伸ばして 凍える夢 見えないから 壊れるまで 目をふさいで 記憶の糸 今はたどるだけ Ah Ah ただ… 聞こえるなら 手を伸ばして 凍える夢 見えないから 壊れるまで 目をふさいで 記憶の糸 今はたどるだけ

Long Version
For all the dreamers, what can I say to you…? To find the way, the wish, listen the fantastic song. 途切れてく景色… 何度でも強く、ここに吹き付ける風は …「悲しみ」を積もらせる。 白い息の中で目を覚ます。 何かを失ったままで… …「痛み」を伴うこの温度に…心が今、震える。 聴こえるなら、手を伸ばして。 凍える夢、見えないから。 壊れるまで、目を塞いで。 …記憶の糸、今は辿るだけ… 静寂の中で、胸にひびくその旋律は、 『幻想』と呼ばれ。 …誰かの心へ、語り継がれゆく… 罪も知らず、無垢な結晶は 凍えた世界におりたち 穢れなき色へと 塗りつぶす …この「思考」も、「感情」も。 その視界が、奪われたら。 忘れた唄、思い出して。 人はいつか、笑えるだろう。 …この世界が「痛み」に染まっても… We're the dreamers, what are you looking for…? Therefore are loneliness, sometime, around the world…? For all the dreamers, what can I say to you…? To find the way, the wish, listen the fantastic song. …優しく、切なく。 「その少女」は、歌い上げた。 聴こえるなら、手を伸ばして。 凍えた夢、忘れぬよに。 きみもいつか、笑えるだろう。 …その世界が「痛み」に染まっても…

Trivia
- In keeping with DJ YOSHITAKA naming his songs after flowers, shion is the Japanese name of a flower commonly known as aster tataricus. It's often associated with memory and remembrance.
- The word shion itself can be translated out as "I won't forget you".
- According to Chihiro, SHION was originally named Zion, after the Japanese period of weather known as the sankan-shion (三寒四), a period between the winter and spring seasons where there are 3 days of cold weather followed up by 4 days of nice, warm weather. Read more about it in this article.
- SHION's 2P palette, which has her in a warmer color palette, is a holdover from her original name.
- SHION's songwheel genre (ハイスピード幻想チューン) can be read as "HI-SPEED GENSOU TUNE".
- In pop'n music, a 3P palette for SHION is available for inputting the code found at the back of the pop'n music card PC19R012/016. The code must be inputted at the final e-AMUSEMENT screen, where your already unlocked Secret Characters are shown.
- SHION is unlocked in REFLEC BEAT limelight by reaching the first part of Glass Stage 3-1.
