Lyrics[]

Japanese[2]

赤く赤く赤く揺れて
夢の夢の果てへ
離れられない

もう何度も諦めては押し殺すたび
行き場の無い感情が目を覚ましてく
汚れの無いその微笑み残酷なほど
遠い存在だとわかるよ

癒えない傷 心蝕むだけなのに
闇の(中に)今も(宿る)想いを抑えきれない

赤く赤く赤く揺れて
夢の夢の果てへ
出逢ってしまった運命が廻り出す
誰も誰も知らない秘密
堕ちて堕ちて堕ちて
もう戻れない 罪を刻んでも きっと

孤独の淵歩きながら救われていた
どんな時も変わらないリアルな瞳
でも光が眩しいほど生まれる影は
深く色濃く忍び寄るよ

ふたつの鼓動 まるで合わせ鏡のように
似てる(けれど)違う(痛み)無限に続いていく

赤く赤く赤く燃えて
すべてすべて消して
叶うことの無い幻が動き出す
強く強く儚い夜を
超えて超えて超えて
逃れられない 罪に溺れても きっと

赤く赤く赤く揺れて
夢の夢の果てへ
出逢ってしまった運命が廻り出す
誰も誰も知らない秘密
堕ちて堕ちて堕ちて
もう戻れない 罪を刻んでも きっと

English Translation[3]

I sway in the scarlet crimson red,
towards the end of my dream.
I cannot detach myself from you.

For countless times, I give up my progress and kill off my emotions.
With no place to go, my emotions are slowly awakening.
I understand very well that your unsullied smile
is an entity too cruelly distant from me.

Although my unhealing wound keeps on gnawing away my heart,
even now I can't completely suppress my thoughts that dwell in the darkness.

I sway in the scarlet crimson red,
towards the end of my dream.
The destiny of our encounter begins to turn.
With this secret known to no one,
I keep falling deeper and deeper down.
Without a doubt, I can no longer return, even if I had to atone for my sins.

As I was walking in the abyss of loneliness, I was rescued
by a pair of real and never-changing eyes.
However, the brighter the light is,
the darker the shadow will be when it creeps up on me.

The two beating hearts are like a pair of mirrors facing each other;
their similar but different pains continue on endlessly.

Burning in a scarlet crimson red
and purging everything,
that unrivaled mirage is now in motion.
Transcending firmly
one transient night after another,
without a doubt, I cannot escape, even if I were to drown in my sins.

I sway in the scarlet crimson red,
towards the end of my dream.
The destiny of our encounter begins to turn.
With this secret known to no one,
I keep falling deeper and deeper down.
Without a doubt, I can no longer return, even if I had to atone for my sins.
