In order to sharpen my fangs
I sought an answer;
A flame that goes on burning
Waits for an opportunity
I don’t need delusions
My bright fingertips rely on the night wind
I lose my bearings, drift about, spread my wings
I kick the ground away,
Sink into the blue that spreads out
(Love-love &Hate-hate)
No matter how much I get hurt
Even if I were to feel pain
I would see you with my own eyes
Roar of the world
Whether to place your trust in something
Is not logical
But that is the only truth
Roar of the time
“Fortress inside a well
A cellphone relationship on the side
Selfies rather than art
THAT–a catastrophe
You are so funny
Likes from nobodies
Misery
Curtain of the times
Burdened with karma
You spew trauma
Outlander
Lullabies–I’ll send ’em to ya
Your turn is next, bastard
You are so heavy
Without any deception
The tuning is B→E
Are you ready?”
A promise I can’t put into words,
The end of the journey
(Love-love &Hate-hate)
There is no hope to head for, but one thing is certain
I want to illuminate you
Roar of the world
Because it’s only the days where we protected something irreplaceable
That will create a future
Roar of the time
I would see you with my own eyes
Roar of the world
(Love-love &Hate-hate)
Whether to place your trust in something
Is not logical
But that is the only truth
Roar of the time
Roar of you
Love has a fissure
We protected the place where we belong
The flame that I won’t let go out
Waits for an opportunity

NOTES / INTERPRETATION:
Blue font indicates text originally written in English in the official booklet.
Thoughts. The way this song crests and falls makes it incredibly satisfying to listen to and the lyrics give a similar sensation with the way that switch between a firm, rather positive resolution with its imagery of taking flight, and the quick, cutting lines in the rap section.
This song vandalizes and fortifies in one long breath.
