Lyrics

Game Size

Lost my way in the dark
I seek it, but I see it nowhere
Then I see the shining polarstar
I'll never lose my way
If you are shining like the star in my eyes
Lead me by your brilliant light

The shining starlight

(The shining starlight)

Lost my way in the dark
I seek it but I see it nowhere
Then I just see the shining polarstar
I'll never lose my way
If you are shining like the star in my eyes
Lead me by your brilliant light

Long Version

Japanese


I’m walking down the street in the night
How many nights have I been wandering?
Feel no more loneliness, still less their tenderness
It seems to be flat and boring

I’ll go anywhere, I don’t care to lose everything
All I wanna know is the reason why I’m me
So tell me where to go, give me the power, let me go
Now close my eyes and listen carefully

I lost my way in the dark
I seek it but I see it nowhere
Then I just see the shining polarstar
I'll never lose my own way
If you are shining like the star in my eyes
Lead me by your brilliant light

夜の静寂を抜け 彷徨える魂は
行き場のない ぬくもりもない
かりそめの幻

失うものは何もなくて
消滅に憧れる夜
瞳とじて 胸とき澄ませば
星が光を放つ

生けるものすべて迷う この世界を
照らしだして polarstar
希望という名の光が絶えないように
導いて はるか遠く
The shining starlight

目を逸らしてばかりいた
傷つくのが怖かった
乾いた風を集めて
真実をつかみたくて

So tell me where to go, give me the power, let me go
Now close my eyes and listen carefully

I found my in the light
Believe it, I can go anywhere
Now I just see the shining polarstar
I'll never lose my own way
If you are shining like the star in my eyes
Lead me by your brilliant light
The shining starlight
