Lyrics[]
All my eyes can see is you dancing brilliantly
Step in, be awakened, head for the world
I looked down all the time, and the small view that belongs
Only to me is just a false diorama that I put together
I’m aware of the painful stares that say that
I will dash out to the future and get my hands on beauty
Asking about the places where each one of us can fly
All my eyes can see is you dancing brilliantly
After accelerating, I can go my own way for the first time
Go higher, become stronger, I want to reach you
Step in, be awakened, chasin’ the world
I kept tracing it again and again and now I’m worn out
“Just give up,” I want to destroy
The wall I built with those words
The night when I single-mindedly prayed
Until my voice cracked in the darkness
Even if the cruel reality of how it may never come true is lurking
With these wings, I can fly farther than I had imagined
If these uncontrollable heartbeats can propel fate
Before I make a wish, before I go back, I’ll hug you tight
Leaping toward the faraway horizon, changing your world
All my eyes can see is you dancing brilliantly
After accelerating, I can go my own way for the first time
With these wings, I can fly farther than I had imagined
If these uncontrollable heartbeats can propel fate
Go higher, become stronger, I want to reach you
Step in, be awakened, head for the world!
Kono hitomi wa azayaka ni mau kimi shika shira nai

Utsumuki sugite chiisai boku dake no keshiki ga

Awase zurai shiten ni kizu ite iru
Kake dashite yuku mirai wa utsu kushisa wo te ni
Sore zore ga toberu basho wo toi kake teku
Kono hitomi wa azayaka ni mau kimi shika shira nai
Kasoku shite hajimete yukeru boku wa boku no saki e
Motto takaku motto tsuyoku kimi ni todoki tai
Fumi konde mezameru chasin’ the world
Nando mo nazori tsuzukete suri kirete shimatta

Kizu kaseta kabe wo kowa shita gatte iru
Hitamuki ni inoru koe mo

この瞳(ひとみ)は 鮮やかに舞う キミしか知覚(し)らない
踏み込んで覚醒(め)ざめる セカイへ
俯き過ぎて小さい 僕だけの景色が
組み立てたジオラマの嘘だと
合わせ辛い視点に 気付いている
駆け出してゆく未来は 美しさを手に
それぞれが翔べる場所を 問い掛けてく
この瞳(ひとみ)は 鮮やかに舞う キミしか知覚(し)らない
加速して初めて 往(ゆ)ける僕は僕の先へ
もっと昂(たか)く もっと強く キミに届きたい
踏み込んで覚醒(め)ざめる chasin’ the world
何度もなぞり続けて 擦り切れてしまった
「諦めてしまえ」と云う文字が
築かせた壁を 壊したがっている
直向(ひたむ)きに祈る声も
闇に割れる夜
叶わない残酷さを 潜(ひそ)ませても
この翼で 想うよりも 遥かに羽撃(はばた)く
抑えない鼓動が 運命を進ませるなら
願う前に 戻る前に キミを抱き締めて
彼方へと 跳び立つ changing’ your world
この瞳(ひとみ)は 鮮やかに舞う キミしか知覚(し)らない
加速して初めて 往(ゆ)ける僕は僕の先へ
この翼で 想うよりも 遥かに羽撃(はばた)く
抑えない鼓動が 運命を進ませるなら
もっと昂(たか)く もっと強く キミに届きたい
踏み込んで覚醒(め)ざめる セカイへ!
