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!!
