Lyrics - Original Japanese Version

Motsure karamu omoi
Itsumademo matowaritsuki munashiku sabita kusari
Toki no iyashi wa uso
Kanjou ni kagi wo kakete fuujiru sube oboeta

Todokanai omoi nara daitemo mayowaseru dake
Samete kawakeba kako ni shizumu
Nageiteta kioku nara wasuretemo kamawanai hazu
Fukai umi no soko oboreru you ni nemure

Amai negai wa himete nemurase
Shizukesa matoi tada nagareteku

Fuujikometa omoi
Itsuka toki ni oshi nagasare arika wo miushinatteru
Tadoru kako wa kanata
Kanjou no kagi mo kakete watashi wo nakusu watashi

Todometai omoi sae daitemo kobore ochiteku
Utsuro na kawaki dake ga nokoru
Nagashiteta namida sae kakegaenai takaramono da to
Nakushite kara ki ga tsuku nante hiniku

Ano hi no watashi no egao mo dokoka he

Amai omoi no kakera wo mune ni
Zawameku machi wo tada nagameteru

Semete watashi no mado hirakeba
Nemureru kage mieru hazu

Mezamereba tori modoseru?

Mmado wo aketa nara
Koko made todoku no kana
Hikari...

Lyrics - English Translation

Twisted, tangled thoughts
Coiling about forever chains lifelessly rusted
"Time heals all wounds" is a lie
I remembered the way to lock in and seal emotion

If it's a thought that doesn't reach, even if I embrace it, it will just be able to bewilder
If it chills and dries, it will sink into the past
If it's a memory that's been grieving, I shouldn't mind, even if I forget it
Sleep, as if drowned, at the bottom of the deep ocean

My pain of that day has gone somewhere

The sweet wish, I hide and put to sleep
Clad in stillness, I merely flow

The thoughts I shut in
Will someday be washed away by time. I'm losing sight of the hiding place
The past I pursued is far off
Locking even emotions, the me that lost myself

Even if I embrace even the thoughts I want to stop, they'll spill over and fall
Just an empty thirst will remain
That the tears I shed were an irreplacable treasure,
I noticed that because I lost them. What an irony

My smile from that day, as well, has gone somewhere

The shards of sweet thoughts, I take to my breast
And simply gaze at the noisy town

At least, if I open my window
I should be able to see the shadow that can sleep

If I wake, can I regain it?

If I open the window
I wonder if it will reach even here
Light...
