We, like the flowers and the trees, are pitiful,
for we can only extend upward towards the sky.
We realize this when we look down once in a while,
but then again we look back up.

You look so sad in your sleep,
as if you are having a nightmare.
I'm right here, right by your side,
and I'm not going anywhere anymore.
How do I live without you?

Everyone looks at the sky.
They look up, and again look back down,
and they lament because they are unable
to find that blue sky they once saw in the past.

Switching between being free and being selfish,
we have lived this far.
Under this night sky without even a single star,
unable to see my destination, I simply wander about.

There hasn't been anything scary at all,
just that there's nothing for me to protect.
Be it tomorrow or 10 years from now on,
I'm scared of what will happen then.
I need huggin' my sweet heart.

Everyone weeps at the sky.
They reach out their hands, and start dreaming,
and they will forever protect
that blue sky they once saw in the past.

Although there are figures soaring in the sky,
I no longer yearn for that kind of freedom.
Nobody is truly free;
that is not true freedom,
simply that there are no roads in the sky.

This midair space, otherwise known as "you",
oh please lock me in.
I'm not going anywhere anymore.
Please don't go anywhere anymore.

In the middle of the sky,
everyone is locked inside this cage called "freedom".
All I need is you by my side,
and then in this sky I'll have no more need for wings.

The world in the rear view mirror
Say goodbye further and further away
You turn around towards your back
The side of your face is still very beautiful
I use my vision to chase
I unexpectedly hear your tears

Lingering outside the car window
Is the chance I missed
You are standing in position
Tears across the middle of you and me
The view of the street has been recoiling all along
The bits and pieces of your collapse are outside the window

I go all the way north
Leaving the season that has you
You say you are very tired
You already have no way to fall in love with anyone else
The wind blows on the mountain road
The frames in the past are all my wrongs
Counting the shame
The wind blows on the mountain road
The frames in the past are all my wrongs
Counting the shame
How many times I hurt you

I go all the way north
Leaving the season that has you
The steering wheel encompasses
Rotating around my regrets
I speed up to exceed it
Yet I can’t lose the grief following closely
Counting the shame
How many times I hurt you
Stop the heartlessness
Just let wrong be pure

All The Way North

Di jalan-jalan berwarna-warni dan ramai, waktu berlalu
Sepertinya ku hanya berhenti bergerak, dan aku satu-satunya yang tertinggal
Hati yang kosong perlahan-lahan menutup
Aku terus berpura-pura tidak menyadarinya
Dengan wajah pengecut,

Dengan segenap kekuatanmu, kau mencoba membantu
Dan suara mencapai ku
Itu membuat saya merasa sangat senang bahwa entah bagaimana, air mataku mulai jatuh
Pikiran keras kepala saya terguncang dan terbang keluar
Tapi semua terlalu cepat, langit biru mulai menghilang dari langit
Hal ini telah mulai bergerak

Kau tertawa dengan gadis-gadis lain, dan aku tidak bisa lebih dekat denganmu
Ketika kita bergerak lebih lanjut dari hari ke hari,
Aku mulai menghindari kebaikanmu

Setelah saya tahu tentang perasaanmu, egois suaraku
Menangis karena menyesal dan frustrasi, tapi aku mengambil terlalu lama untuk menyadarinya
Setelah mereka tersentuh, pikiran keras kepala saya terbang keluar
Dalam sekejap, mereka mulai mencair

Suatu hari nanti, jika ku bertindak tanpa berpikir dan bahkan terhadap perasaan berhargaku
Sebagai pikiran keras kepala saya terbang ke langit
Dalam sekejap, mereka mulai mencair
Dan semua terlalu cepat, langit biru mulai menghilang lagi dan lagi
Di sinilah semuanya dimulai akan di mulai lagi
