Lyrics
Japanese
近頃そろそろゲンカイ！ ルールなんかカンケーない！ こんな日々振り切って今すぐ飛び出そう！！ 何もかも許されない 自由にだってなりたい カタチなんてこだわんない 壊したってかまわない！！ いつだって強く激しく！！！ 思いはただヒトツ 終わりなんて信じない ホントの明日探し出せるまで！ BRE∀K DOWN! 爆音でなる MUSIC 高鳴る TENSION 遠くまで飛ばしまくれ！ ENGINE 全開っっ！！ この風に飛び乗って 怒りも悲しみも 全部残らず投げ飛ばせっっ！ （そのさ、つまんない話付き合ってる暇なんかあたしにはないんだよね。） （レベル低いんじゃないの？） LET'S GO!! 爆発しちゃうくらい 何も聞こえないくらい 胸のおく突き刺すくらい SPEED 全開っっ！！ 向かい風にだって 負けるコトなんてない 戦い続けろっっ！！
