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!!

Romaji

chikagoro sorosoro genkai!
RULE nanka kankenai!
konna hibi furikitte ima sugu tobidasou!!
nanimokamo yurusarenai
jiyuu ni datte naritai
katachi nante kodawannai
kowashitatte kamawanai!!

itsu datte tsuyoku hageshiku!!!
omoi wa tada hitotsu
owari nante shinjinai
honto no ashita sagashidaseru made!

BREAK DOWN!
bakuon de naru MUSIC
takanaru TENSION
tooku made tobashi makure!
ENGINE zenkai!!

kono kaze ni tobinotte
ikari mo kanashimi mo
zenbu nokorazu nagetobase!

(sonosa, tsumannai hanashi tsukiatteru hima nanka atashi ni wa naindayo ne.)
(LEVEL hikuin janai no?)

LET'S GO!!
bakuhatsu shichau kurai
nani mo kikoenai kurai
mune no oku tsukisasu kurai
SPEED zenkai!!
mukaikaze ni datte
makeru koto nantenai
tatakai tsuzukero!!
