1.We said, “What a terrible night we’ve spent again,”
2.And then smiled shyly
3.We’ve been dreaming meaningless dreams like this—ah
4.We’ve been scribbling gray words in frustration
5.We dressed ourselves up, but for what?
6.How many times have we chanted these words by now?
7.With clear eyes, today
8.We softly sang composed phrases
9.Shouting them out to vent our frustration10.
11.Surprisingly, it should all be meaningless
12.Yet we feign charm and spread it around
13.In the clamor of cheers from the bustling crowd
14.If the suffocating air destroys the night
15.I can’t claim I feel no regrets as my emotions waver
16.Even my expectations have grown too heavy
17.In this narrow world, the words we vowed to each other—
18.Did we even remember them?19.
20.The idea of understanding each other, naively reflected in shining eyes
21.Was wrapped in a distinct darkness—ah
22.Restlessly, we searched for the meaning behind our fleeting lives
23.When we finally arrived, it was all in vain. We raised our voices, weaving them together
24.With the pure water we scooped up gently
25.We clung to the feelings within our hearts
26.Filling them up—dreaming once again of such things27.
28.Perhaps we’re simply ignorant after all
29.Even love has been discarded
30.The noise of the bustling crowd sneered at from the corner of our eyes
31.If we could just laugh it off and face forward
32.“I won’t regret it,” I said, as I painted my imagination
33.Even compromise turned into betrayal
34.With these reverberating heartbeats
35.Was I just cowering in fear back then?36.
37.A stagnant, inorganic life
38.Eyes fatigued and devoid of light
39.Even tears have dried completely
40.It’s the same things repeating again and again
41.A derisive, unsalvageable voice
42.Waiting for a hollow offer of consolation and love
43.Even when we awaken, swayed by days of love and hate
44.Our hearts die, and the flowers wither
45.There is no end—I understood that, and yet I fell apart again
46.Facing you, our eyes meeting47.
48.Surprisingly, it should all be meaningless
49.Yet we feign charm and spread it around
50.In the clamor of cheers from the bustling crowd
51.If the suffocating air destroys the night
52.I can’t claim I feel no regrets as my emotions waver
53.Even my expectations have grown too heavy
54.In this narrow world, the words we vowed to each other—
55.Did we even remember them?
