エゴアイディール (Ego aidiiru) – Ego ideal

from SMASHING ANTHEMS album.

Unable to speak what I want to say
So I scribbled it down, tore and threw it away
When can I let go of this notebook full of pain?

Pretending not to hear anything
Where do I go with this lavish smile?
With high power headphones
Hey, will my voice take shape?

Resonate, like the everflowing shooting stars
Steadfastedly irregular, my universe is uncool, but
I can deliver a melody that doesn’t exist anywhere else
It’s alright if others laugh, I want to sing with all my might

Having delusions of ideals
Questioning myself
Collapsing, bound hand and foot
Before I knew it, another pose

The heat of the gazes upon me
Is perplexing, as I’m unable to check them
These choices accumulating everyday
I want to thoroughly clean them up

Scream, until the lost, lonely figure is blown out
Still so awkward, my show-off heart’s voice, but
I’m prepared for extravagant dreams
So I’ll look forward and believe in this step

To soar high and far
Imprisoned by that idea
I put off the important things
And thought too much
I want to be even more free

Resonate, like the everflowing shooting stars
Steadfastedly irregular, my universe is uncool, but
I can deliver a melody that doesn’t exist anywhere else
It’s alright if others laugh, I want to sing with all my might

As naturally as taking a breath
You Lock yourself up again
Closing the door I had opened
You say it’s for my sake, but
What do you know about me?
There are words which don’t reach to forever

In exchange for a love that’s seemingly calm
Hey, what have we lost sight of?

The glass slippers I’ve dreamt about
Have developed cracked on the toes over time
Next to the unchanging you
I start to search for an unfamiliar tomorrow

Unable to wait any longer, I make to step out
With memories twined around my hand
Connecting into a glittering BRACELET

The warmth of touching skin
And other signs that prove I’m not alone
There are nights when I’m afraid to let them go

Nobody knows the answer
And we grow impatient with unending silence

The constructed sandcastle
Is swamped by willful waves, disappearing in an instant
No matter how much we believe
There is surely nothing that can never be destroyed

The young self I was when we first met
Does not exist anywhere outside your memories
Hurry and turn that listless face towards me
Notice me… before this BRACELET falls off

The glass slippers I’ve dreamt about
Have developed cracked on the toes over time
Next to the unchanging you
I start to search for an unfamiliar tomorrow

It’s not habit, I just want to dream
As I yearn for “freedom” once again
I want to shake free, tears fall
I’m the one who can’t let go

Unable to wait any longer, I make to step out
With memories twined around my hand
Connecting into a glittering BRACELET

The darkness of heavy rain
Roaming dawn that stops my breath
Shut away
Every world is clever

The boundaries drawn by someone
We just abide by them
Half of what we think
Remains unspoken, without resistance

Like penetrating the backlight now
Don’t escape anymore via excuses
Like cutting through the headwind now
Release your heart

Gripping on to loneliness
Never let go Never let go
A heartbeat that won’t be calmed
If that’s real, never, Never let it go

At the end of the maze
Reality is different from real
It’s all fake
Desire that resembles love

Even if you’re right, you’re a minority
To be driven into a corner
Silence can’t stop anything
Even dreams somehow become mirages

Standing at the cliffs now
Don’t let go of your soul again
As if bowing down before illusion now
Wipe those tears away

Even if assaulted by sorrow
Never let go Never let go
A heartbeat that won’t betray you
If that’s real, never, Never let it go

A critical point definitely exists
Just believe in it
Compared to lamenting over wounds
Having no reaction is even more frightening

Like penetrating the backlight now
Don’t escape anymore via excuses
Like cutting through the headwind now
Release your heart

Gripping on to loneliness
Never let go Never let go
A heartbeat that won’t be calmed
If that’s real, never, Never let it go
Never let it go
Just Never let it go

Now, I send a prayer to the heavens
Please grant me another sliver of strength…
Do I have the burden of preparedness in my heart?
Strength is somehow the
Reason why I can fight…!

“Loneliness suits you more than warmth”
They tell me, and what killed my heart was
My clinging on to false “strength”

As tears overlap, proven reality is
A truly cruel ―termination―

(Desperate) Twisted prayers that can’t be surpressed
Wish for an answer, like choking disorder to the end of darkness…I scream!

Now, I send a prayer to the heavens
Please grant me another sliver of strength…
“You can’t hope for it”
Denying myself, my hand reaches out

No matter how many times I’m hurt (Glorious Break)
I’ll embrace impulse and shine

Tangled within “justice”, I get hurt, count my sins
Nightmares continuously invading the bottomless abyss

Trusting, being betrayed… Memories smeared with blood
Reversed desires baring their fangs

(Misery) When did it begin? When even reason is burnt out
Nothing can be saved by total destruction, so…

Please give me a sign
Will this sorrowful song reach anyone?
A soul shaking with lamentation, realizing its powerlessness

Dignified, piercing courage (Glorious Break)
As I am, as myself

Things like “real strength”, things I hope for
Pounding ―vital―, wake up
With a final breath…!

Now, I send a prayer to the heavens
Please grant me another sliver of strength…
Do I have the burden of preparedness in my heart?
Shall I face it without fear?

Now, with unbreakable fighting spirit (Glorious Break)
I’ll just flap my wings towards the dawn sky
That’s the Reason why I can fight…!
