Lyrics

Miraa ga utsushidasu maboroshi wo  
Ki ni shinagara itsu no mani ka sokudo  
Ageteru no sa  
Doko e itte mo ii to iwareru to  
Hanpa na ganbou ni wa hyoushiki mo zenbu  
Haiiro da  
Honoo no yurameki,  
Koyoi mo yume wo egaku  
Anata no fudesaki,  
Kawaite imasen ka  
Aoi sora ga mienu nara aoi kasa hirogete  
Ii ja nai ka, kyanbasu wa kimi no mono  
Shiroi hata wa akirameta toki ni dake kazasu no  
Ima wa makka ni,  
Sasou tougyuushi no you ni  
Karaa mo iro aseru keikoutou no moto  
Shirokuro no chesuboodo no ue de kimi ni  
Deatta  
Bokura wa hitotoki mayoi nagara yorisotte  
Arekara hitotsuki oboete imasu ka  
Orenji iro no yuuhi wo tonari de miteru dake de  
Yokatta no ni na,  
'Kuchi wa wazawai no moto'  
Kuroi fuku wa shisha ni inoru  
Toki ni dake kiru no  
Wazato makka ni nokoshita ruuju no ato  
Mou jibun ni wa yume no  
Nai e shika egakenai to iu nara  
Nuritsubushite yo,  
Kyanbasu wo nando demo  
Shiroi hata wa akirameta toki ni  
Dake kazasu no  
Ima no watashi wa anata no shiranai iro  
English Translation:  
While worrying about the illusion  
Reflected in the mirror,  
Everything speeds up without notice  
When they say I'm free to go wherever,  
The guides for my incomplete desire  
All turn grey.  
The swaying flames  
Are painting my dreams tonight  
The tip of your brush  
Isn't dried up yet?  
If you can't see a blue sky, open up your blue umbrella.  
Isn't that great? The canvas is yours.  
A white flag is only raised when one has given up.  
But now let it be crimson  
Like the beckoning matador.  
Under the discoloring fluorescent light  
On the black and white of a chessboard  
We met by chance  
There was a time when we'd lost our way and held each other close  
It's been a month since then. Do you remember?  
I would have been happy just to have watched  
The orange sunset next to you.  
But the mouth (words) is the origin of catastrophe  
Black clothes are only worn when  
Praying for the deceased.  
The mark of rouge leaves behind deep red purposely.  
If you say you can only paint  
Dreamless pictures  
How many times must  
I paint over the canvas?  
A white flag is only raised  
When you've given up  
I'm a color you don't know now.
