KANJI Lyrics:
心の音が運命を告げた
届きそうな距離に魅せられて
近づいてみるほど遠ざかってしまう
どこか星の光のよう

何も持たなかったときにはわからなくて
望みはやがて欲へと変わり
それも悪くないと思えたことが不思議で
Ah また知りたくなってる

今は結ばれた糸に答えはないけど
出会いは消えないstory
とり憑かれたというならそれでもいいさ
ほら　あの台詞にのせてみよう

あの日見つけた謎解きの
鍵は掴んだはずなのに
新たな秘密がもっと惑わせる
次のページを開いてみたい

演じているのか背伸びのホントなのか
境目はもう曖昧なほど
沈みこんでしまった夢みたいな渦のなかで
Ah また探し続ける

たとえ報われなくても追い求めるから
決して離れないspirit
繰り返すばかりじゃもう満ち足りないな
ほら　あの舞台に立って交わそう

美しい輝きも無謀に思う高みも
抗えない力に引き寄せられたなら
楽しもう

今は結ばれた糸に答えはないけど
出会いは消えないstory
とり憑かれたというならそれでもいいさ
ほら　あの台詞にのせてみよう

どこまでもいこう

ROMAJI Lyrics:
kokoro no oto ga unmei wo tsugeta
todoki souna kyori ni miserarete
chikadzuite miru hodo toozakatte shimau
dokoka hoshi no hikari no you

nanimo motanakatta toki ni ha wakaranakute
nozomi wa yagate yoku e to kawari
soremo warukunai to omoeta koto ga fushigi de
Aa, mata shiritakunatteru

ima wa musubareta ito ni kotae ha nai kedo
deai wa kienai STORY
toritsukareta to iunara soredemo ii sa
hora, ano serifu ni nosetemiyou

ano hi mitsuketa nazotoki no
kagi wa tsukanda hazu nanoni
aratana himitsu ga motto madowaseru
tsugi no peeji wo hiraite mitai

enjiteiru no ka senobi no honto nanoka
sakaime ha mou aimai nahodo
shizumi konde shimatta yume mitaina uzu no naka de
Aa, mata sagashi tsuzukeru

tatoe mukuwarenakutemo ooi motomerukara
keshite hanarenai SPIRIT
kurikaesu bakari jya mou michitarinai na
hora, ano butai ni tatte kawasou

utsukushii kagayaki mo mubou ni omou takami mo
aragaenai chikara ni hiki yoserareta nara
tanoshimo

ima wa musubareta ito ni kotae ha nai kedo
deai wa kienai STORY
toritsukareta to iunara soredemo ii sa
hora, ano serifu ni nosetemiyou

doko made mo ikou

ENGLISH (TRANSLATION) Lyrics:
The voice in my heart is declaring my destiny
Beckoning me to a seemingly reaching distance
The closer I come to it, the further away it goes
Feels just as if it’s a light of a distant star

I didn’t understand it at the time when I was left with nothing
Next thing I knew these wishes turned into greed
And yet, in its own mysterious way, that’s not a bad thing at all
Ahh, I guess I’ll get to know this feeling once again

Though there’s no answer to this string we’ve tied right now
Our meeting is an inerasable story
If I’m what they call obsessed, then that’s all fine with me
Hey, shall we go see where these lines^[1] will take us?

By now I should’ve found and held the key
That unlocks the riddle to that day’s mystery
But I’m only spun around to even more secrets
Enticing me to open up to the next page

Is it all part of the play or is it a mere stretch of the truth
The lines^[2] between them have already become a blur
This whirlpool I found myself in feels like I’m sinking into a dream
Ahh, I have to continue on searching once more

Even if there’s no pay-off to all this, I’ll keep on chasing
Never let go of this unshakable spirit
I’m not content with repeating the cycles anymore
Hey, shall we go and stand on the cross lines^[3] of that stage?

All the beautiful sights and even the reckless heights that I think to cross
If you’re drawn by force that you just can’t go against
Might as well have fun

Though there’s no answer to this string we’ve tied right now
Our meeting is an inerasable story
If I’m what they call obsessed, then that’s all fine with me
Hey, shall we go see where these lines^[1] will take us?

Let’s go anywhere
