Description
Sometimes the world seems too small - with its ‘you can't,’ ‘too late,’ and ‘that doesn't happen.’ And then a stubborn voice suddenly lights up in your head: ‘Further, higher.’ And even the most difficult days with bruises on your heart turn into fuel that propels you forward.
In this song, heroism is not about raincoats and fanfare, but about the desire to become someone who can protect what is important. Let your voice tremble, your eyes swell with tears, and history tumble headlong - your hand will still rise in a peaceful gesture, like a promise: it will be brighter ahead. This is music about fragile strength that makes weakness part of the flight and weary steps the road to dawn.
Lyrics and translation
Original
いつか僕らの上をすれすげに通り過ぎてったあの飛行機を不思議なくらいに覚えて る。 意味もないのになぜか。
不甲斐なくて泣いた日の夜に、ただ強くなりたいと願 ってた。 そのために必要な勇気を探し求めていた。
残酷な運命が絡まってるとして、それがいつの日か僕の前 に現れるとして、 ただ一瞬、この一瞬、息ができないなら、どうでもいいと思え たその心を。
もう一度。 遠くへ行け、遠くへ行けと僕の中で誰かが歌う。
どうしようもな いほどの熱烈に。
言いたくて、目を離した。 君が二度と悲しまないように笑う。
そんな日に なるための歌。
さらば掲げろピースサイン。 転がってくストーリーを。
守りたいだなんて言えるほど君が弱くはないの分かってた。
それ以上に僕は弱くてさ、 君が大事だったんだ。
一人で生きていくんだなんてさ、口をついて叫んだあの日か ら、変わっていく僕を笑えばいい。 一人が怖い僕を。
蹴飛ばして、噛みつ いて、息もできなくて、騒ぐ頭と腹の奥がグシャグシャになったっ て。
出会いも、けれんも、消えてしまう前に、今は触っ ていたいんだ。 君の心に。
僕たちはきっといつか遠く離れた太陽にすら手が届いて、夜明け前を 背に入れて笑おう。
そうやって、青く燃える火色に染まり、おぼろげな街の向こうへ、手を繋いで走 って行けるはずだ。
君と未来を盗み描く、ひねりのないストーリー を。
かさぶただらけ、荒くれた意地が、削り削られすぎ切れた今が、君の言葉で蘇る。
鮮やかにも現れてく。
さなぎのままで眠る魂を、誰かのまま捨てたあ の夢を、もう一度取り戻そう。
うぉーおーおーおー。 おーおーおー。
おーおーおー。 うぉーおーおーおー。 おーおーおー。
おーおーおー。 もう一度。
遠くへ行け、遠くへ行けと僕の中で誰かが 歌う。 どうしようもないほどの熱烈に。
言いたくて、目を離した。 君が二度と悲しまないように笑う。
そんな日 になるための歌。
さらば掲げろピースサイン。 転がってくストーリーを。
君と未来を盗み描 く、ひねりのないストーリーを。
English translation
I have a strange memory of that plane that passed over us one day. For some reason it doesn't make any sense.
On the night I cried because of my failure, all I wanted was to become stronger. I was searching for the courage I needed to do so.
Even if some cruel fate were involved, and one day it would appear in front of me, that heart that thought it wouldn't matter if I couldn't breathe for just this moment.
once again. Someone inside me sings, "Go far, go far."
With a hopeless fervor.
I wanted to say something, so I looked away. I'll smile so you'll never be sad again.
A song for such a day.
Goodbye, hold up the peace sign. A rolling story.
I knew you weren't weak enough to say I wanted to protect you.
Even more than that, I was weak, and you were important to me.
You can laugh at the way I've changed since that day when I opened my mouth and screamed that I had to live alone. I'm scared of being alone.
He kicked me, bit me, and I couldn't breathe, my head was making noise and my stomach was in a mess.
I want to touch you now, before our encounters and encounters disappear. in your heart
I'm sure that someday we'll reach even the distant sun, and laugh with the dawn on our backs.
Just like that, we should be able to hold hands and run towards the other side of the dim city, dyed in the color of burning blue fire.
A story that captures you and the future without a twist.
Your words bring me back to the present, where my rough, scabbed, stubborn spirit has been worn down too much.
It also appears vividly.
Let's once again regain that dream that we gave up as a soul sleeping in a chrysalis, as someone else.
Woooooooooooo. Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh. Woooooooooooo. Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh. once again.
Someone inside me sings, "Go far, go far." In a hopeless fervor.
I wanted to say something, so I looked away. I'll smile so you'll never be sad again.
A song for such a day.
Goodbye, hold up the peace sign. A rolling story.
A twist-free story that steals a picture of you and the future.
