Description
Sometimes the world seems to fade to grey, like an old film where only outlines remain instead of faces. And yet, somewhere in this dull setting, a tiny light flickers, like a table lamp forgotten by someone kind. Not for the sake of hope, but simply so that it doesn't become completely dark.
It seems that happiness here is not in loud words or eternal promises. It is in stubbornly moving forward, even when the rusty lock won't budge again. In reaching out, even if you've been burned a hundred times before. Because maybe this time you'll get a response. Or at least it will get a little warmer.
A song is like a breath between the pages. Quiet, stubborn and bright in its fragility. About those who don't give up, even when everything around them whispers that it's too late. About a small flame that seems to keep the whole world from falling into complete darkness.
Lyrics and translation
Original
白黒は我儘なことと信じていた。
モノクロの裏道を走り抜けてきた。
出会いなんて予想も せずに。 この街で。
儚い運命と知ってる よ。 どれほど強い祈りでも。
落書きみ たいに消されてく。 大切な思い出まで。
それでも手を伸ばす。 精一杯。
いつか僕ら 許されるなら。
幸せの意味にたどり着きたいん だ。 密かに灯るこの淡い火を守ろう。
気がつけば指先も汚れたままで。
錆びついたドアノブいくつ回したっけ。
君の音同じ。
誰もいない と思ってた。 正解はこれじゃないのかも。
やり直しながら進もうか。
越えられない先を越えていく。 切なさを万華に代えて。
君がいる世界の続きに触れたい。
もしも僕ら許 されるなら。 囚われの重すぎ目を解きたいんだ。
微 かだけれど暖かい火を守ろう。
あまり色の雲の隙 間から。 水色が小さく見えるから。
下向か ずにすぐ起き上がる。 絵空事と笑われても。
やめないよ手を伸ばす。 精一杯。
いつか僕ら許されるなら。
幸せの意味にたどり着 きたいんだ。
密かに灯るこの淡い火を守ろ う。
English translation
I believed that black and white was selfish.
I ran through the monochrome back roads.
I never expected to meet you. In this city.
I know that fate is fleeting. No matter how strong your prayers are.
It gets erased like graffiti. Even your precious memories.
Still, I reach out. Do your best.
If someday we will be forgiven.
I want to find the meaning of happiness. Let's protect this faint fire that is secretly lit.
Before you know it, your fingertips are still dirty.
How many times did you turn that rusty doorknob?
Your sound is the same.
I thought there was no one there. Maybe this isn't the correct answer.
Should I start over and move on?
Overcoming the insurmountable. Replace the sadness with a flower of joy.
I want to touch on the continuation of the world you live in.
If we are allowed. I want to release my heavy captivity.
Let's protect the faint but warm fire.
Through the clouds of not so much color. Because the light blue color looks small.
Get up immediately without looking down. Even if you laugh at it as a fantasy.
I won't stop, I'll reach out my hand. Do your best.
If someday we will be forgiven.
I want to find the meaning of happiness.
Let's protect this faint fire that is secretly lit.
