Original Lyrics: Meidai Lyrics (Romanized)
1.We face invisible tomorrows without taking a single day off
2.Accepting them, cracking along the way, patching ourselves up with our own hands3.
4.Maybe when tomorrow comes, something will change—
5.How brave, how lazy, how fragile we are
6.Sometimes foolish, and at times overtaken by madness—it’s no surprise7.
8.And yet, “we won’t give up” is engraved into our genes
9.Shaped so that with every breath, we search for hope
10.Even someone as small as me wished
11.To become something for someone else12.

13.I was born for the first time, I didn’t know left from right
14.It’s not like I planned to meet sadness in a place like this15.
16.It’s not how many times I got lost, but how many times I didn’t get it wrong—
17.If that’s what proves I was alive, then I want nothing to do with a world like that18.
19.Since I was born into this world, some time has passed
20.But the world acts like it doesn’t know me—calling me out, only to ignore me—what the hell is that?21.
22.When your scam is exposed, you just say there are tons like me out there
23.At the speed of light, you deflect with a shameless self-pass24.
25.A world where the “life pros” throw their weight around
26.Where black-or-white thinking runs rampant, not allowing even a flicker—
27.The plaintiff seats overflow, while the defendant’s bench is left empty28.
29.In this age where words are spun like blades
30.Where everyone is forced into the “best poker face” championship—
31.Even so, if you’re here, then I genuinely wish
32.To live through tomorrow33.
34.The way you give up, dodge things, act fed up, mock someone—
35.If that’s what you believe to be the armor of our age, even your laughter bears the weight of that belief36.
37.Someday both hatred and love will vanish just the same, right?
38.What words could I offer now to the voice I hear?39.
40.Even beyond sadness
41.Your voice
42.Tuururu tuttutu tuururu tuttutu
43.I can hear it
44.Tuururu tuttutu tuururu tuttutu
45.I can hear it46.
47.In a world where not everyone can be happy
48.That truth alone overwhelms me, and I feel dizzy49.
50.Most of the dreams overflowing in this world won’t come true
51.So why don’t they teach us that on the first day of school?52.
53.I was born for the first time, I didn’t know left from right
54.It’s not like I planned to meet sadness in a place like this55.
56.“There’s someone out there who wanted to live the today you wasted.”
57.Even if they say that, there are still nights where I don’t feel a thing58.
59.Even if it’s just a drop in the wide ocean, like a speck of eyedrops—
60.I spend my days wandering, searching for that one drop that would give meaning to why I was born into this world61.
62.I want to hear “It has to be you”—you and I, (it tickles), playing pretend at hope

1.僕たちは見えない明日を一日も休まず
2.受け入れながらヒビ割れながら 自らツギハギで直して3.
4.もしかして明日になれば何か変わるかもなんて
5.なんて健気でなんて怠惰で なんて幼気な生き物
6.時に愚かで 稀に狂気に犯されるのも仕方がない7.
8.だけど僕らは「諦めない」をこの遺伝子に刻まれて
9.呼吸のたびに希望探し求めるよう形作られ
10.こんなちっぽけな自分だけども誰かのための何かに、なれるよう
11.願ったんだ12.
13.はじめて産まれてきたの 右も左も知るわけないだろう
14.悲しみとこんなとこで 待ち合わせたつもりなどないけど15.
16.どれだけ道迷ったか よりどれだけ間違えなかったか
17.それが生きた証ならば そんな世界に用などこちとらないから18.
19.この世に産まれ堕ちていくらか時が流れたが
20.世界は僕を見知らぬそぶり 呼び出しといてそりゃないだろう21.
22.てめぇのインチキがバレりゃ他所に五万といると
23.光の速さ 開き直りで自己避難かわすスルーパス24.
25.人生上級者たちがまるで幅利かす時代
26.「白」か「黒」かの二元論が横行 ゆらめきさえ許さず
27.原告席に溢れ返る人、被告席はもぬけの殻28.
29.言葉に刃つき立ててぶん回すようなこの時代に
30.「平気な顔が上手い選手権」 強制参加の時代に
31.それでも君がいてくれるなら 明日も生きてみたいと、そう心から
32.願ったんだ33.
34.諦め方、いなし方 呆れ方と誰かのくさし方
35.それが時代の装備だって信じる君のその笑い方36.
37.いつか消えてしまうのは 憎しみも愛しさも同じだろう
38.その声の主に僕は今 どんな言葉をかけられるんだろう39.
40.悲しみの 先にも
41.君の声は
42.トゥールル トゥットゥ トゥールル トゥットゥ
43.聞こえてくるよ
44.トゥールル トゥットゥ トゥールル トゥットゥ
45.聞こえてくるよ46.
47.誰もが幸せになれるわけではないこの世界
48.これを超える真実がどうにも見当たらなくて目眩がする49.
50.世界に溢れるほとんどの夢なんか叶わない
51.それをなんで入学して一番最初の授業で教えない52.
53.はじめて産まれてきたの 右も左も知るわけないだろう
54.悲しみとこんなとこで 待ち合わせたつもりなどないけど55.
56.「君が無駄にした今日は 誰かが生きたがってた今日だ」と
57.言われたとこでビクとも しない夜だってザラにあるけど58.
59.広い海に一滴の 目薬ほどの違いだとしても
60.僕がここに生まれてきた意味の 一雫を探して彷徨うような日々61.
62.「君じゃないと」が聞きたいの 君と僕の(くすぐったいよ) 希望ごっこ
