Lyrics

Japanese

とても大事な キミの思いは
無駄にならない 世界は回る

ほんの少しの 僕の気持ちも
巡り巡るよ

くり返す このポリリズム
あの衝動は まるで恋だね

くり返す いつかみたいな
あの光景が 蘇るの

くり返す このポリリズム
あの反動が うそみたいだね

くり返す このポリループ
ああプラスチック みたいな恋だ

また繰り返す このポリリズム
このポリリズム

Romaji

totemo daiji na kimi no omoi wa
muda ni naranai sekai wa mawaru

hon no sukoshi no boku no kimochi mo
meguri meguru yo

kurikaesu kono POLYRHYTHM
ano shoudou wa maru de koi da ne

kurikaesu itsuka mitai na
ano koukei ga yomigaeru no

kurikaesu kono POLYRHYTHM
ano handou ga uso mitai da ne

kurikaesu kono POLYLOOP
aa PLASTIC mitai na koi da

mata kurikaesu kono POLYRHYTHM
kono POLYRHYTHM

English

Your very precious thoughts
Are not to be wasted and world keeps turning

My little feelings
Also keeps going round and round

Repeating this polyrhythm
That impulse, just like love

Repeating, just like when
That scenery comes back to life

Repeating this polyrhythm
That reaction, feels unreal

Repeating this polyloop
Ah, this love is like plastic

Repeating again, this polyrhythm
This polyrhythm
