Japanese

降りしきる雨にぬれてた ノラ犬のように
hope & fears 誰もが
いつも何かに おびえながら
目にした たった一つのstyle 幻のような
only one 彼らが残したドアを開ける

彩どる悲しみ 何を求めて
潰される 16 to 18
失うものばかりのカラのheartで
信じ裏切られ…

my memories, empty i feel...
せめて一つだけ 夢を見せて
wow wow...
my memories
最後の泣き顔 鏡の向こうで見た
my roots

Romaji

furishikiru ame ni nureteta nora inu no you ni
hope and fears daremo ga
itsumo nanika ni obienagara
me ni shita tatta hitotsu no style maboroshi no you na
only one karera ga nokoshita doa wo akeru

irodoru kanashimi nani wo mutomete
tsubusareru 16 to 18
ushinau mo no bakari kara no heart de
shinji uragirare...

my memories, empty I feel...
semete hitotsu dake yume wo misete
wow wow...
my memories
saigo no naki kao kagami no mukou de mita
my roots

Long Version

Japanese


降りしきる雨にぬれてたノラ犬のように
hope&fears  誰もが  いつも何かにおびえながら

目にした  たった一つのstyle  幻のような
only one 彼らが  残したドアを開ける

彩どる悲しみ  何を求めて  潰される  16 to 18
失うものばかり  カラのheartで
信じ裏切られ・・・

my memories,empty I feel...
せめて一つだけ  夢を見せて wow wow
my memories
最後の泣き顔  鏡の向こうで見た my roots

振り返ることも忘れて
駆け抜けたcring days are prassed
so far away...
いつの時代も変わらないもの

閉ざしたあの部屋の中で
見失ってる
kick in the teeth
失望が  明日へのドアを閉ざす

悲しい現実
目を合わせずに
手を振れば lonely so lonely

ちざれたイニシャルの
一つ一つが  夢に流されて

my memories empty I feel...
せめて今夜だけ夢見させて wow wow

my memories
孤独の強がり鏡の向こうで見た my roots
