meditations

lyrics: Yoshino Nanjo
music, arrangement: Satoshi Yaginuma

I’m no longer lost on the road I believed in
even if darkness grabs my hand
I’ll just push my way forward towards the light ahead
my decision’s already in my heart

the light that guided me was unable to stay pure
I was alone and frozen before a barrier I couldn’t cross
I was lost among congestion of an unchanging traffic light
but what I saw was a monochrome city in silence

how does it look like now?
without knowing how to fight back
I was seized by a false happiness
I thought was real

although there’s struggle in my shouting voice
a gentle light flickers inside my heart
I don’t want it to die
I believe it’s the key to my future

the life I spent without any cares
seems beautiful to me now
but there are no gateways to that past

every person traveling through the city
secretly carries a sorrowful melody inside their smile

what should I do now?
I’m losing myself after so long, I’ll have nothing left
for this reason, I won’t be afraid
I can fight

I will show you how I go on the offense so I may take back what’s mine
I can’t just stay on defense anymore
to show you determination
I’ll go beyond the limit of this barrier

I already stopped mourning
and chasing after that nostalgic life
I’m not alone anymore

the faint light glowing in my heart
illuminates the road in this darkness

I’m no longer lost on the road I believed in
even if the darkness grabs my hand
I’ll just push my way forward towards the light ahead
my decision’s already in my heart

even though my hands are full of wounds
I will never have regrets
since I knew this is what I really wanted
