==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
ふと目を閉じる　午前2時は 	futo me o tojiru gozen niji wa 	My eyes suddenly close at 2 am,
空虚な心映し出して 	kuukyo na kokoro utsushidashite 	and see that it reflects my own empty heart
当てもないまま彷徨い 	ate mo nai mama samayoi 	As I continue to wander aimlessly,
足早に過ぎてゆく 	ashibaya ni sugiteyuku 	time quickly passes byThis line more literally says “Aimless state of wandering, quickly proceeding through/by”. It doesn't specify what is 'quickly proceeding', which means that it could be the singer who is 'quickly walking/pacing/wandering around'. Judging from the many melancholic clues present in the song however, I decided it would be almost opposite/nonsensical for the singer to have a fast speed of any of the sort. The only other subject before was about the Time, so I figured that must be the object of this phrase.
 	 	
押し寄せる焦りと 	oshiyoseru aseri to 	Within this overwhelming
戸惑いの中で 	tomadoi no naka de 	anxiety and confusion,
不完全な日常に潜んだ 	fukanzen na nichijou ni hisonda 	Hidden within these incomplete days,
影の行方は･･･ 	kage no yukue wa... 	my shadow begins to...
 	 	
躊躇いなく 	tamerai naku 	Without hesitation,
巡り来る　交差点を 	megurikuru kousaten o 	spin round and round at these crossroadsA couple things to note for this line. First is that the word なく(naku) isn't actually a word here. It is being used as a negating suffix for 躊躇い(tamerai, hesitation). If you look なく(naku) up in a dictionary, it will tell you that it means “to cry or howl”, but this assumes that it is a stand-alone word. What you must also know is that the normal negating suffix that you're familiar with ない(nai) can be conjugated to なく(naku), and is normally done so when eloquently used or when used in the middle of a sentence instead of at the end. Secondly, this line talks about the shadow “spinning round and round at crossroads”. The 'crossroads' could be translated to just a city street intersection as depicted in the video, but since this song explores serious feelings, there is also a connotation of 'the road of life' that the singer is on. In English, the word “Crossroads” can mean both the 'crossroads of life' and normal street crossroads, so I chose that word so that I could represent both ideas. Additionally, I'd like to point out that the spinning shadow means the passing of days. As the sun rises and sets everyday, someone standing in the middle of an intersection would have their shadow spin around them. It's not a metaphor used in English, so I thought I should point it out.
 	 	
螺旋を描く日々と 	rasen o egaku hibi to 	Each passing day draws another spiral,
言葉にならない声を 	kotoba ni naranai koe o 	as this voice continues to find no words.
想いが紡ぐ道は 	omoi ga tsumugu michi wa 	My mind progressively,
終わりなく続く 	owari naku tsuzuku 	endlessly, spinsAnother example of なく(naku) being used instead of ない(nai).
 	 	
今日も　滲んだ夢の欠片 	kyou mo nijinda yume no kakera 	Today as well, the fragments of my hazy dreams
移ろう波に飲まれ 	utsurou nami ni nomare 	are swallowed up by these fading waves
浮かべた闇に沈む 	ukabeta yami ni shizumu 	My solemn expression drowns in it,
この世界で一つだけの涙 	kono sekai de hitotsu dake no namida 	along with the only tears I have left in this world浮かべる(ukaberu) used here means to express, but it could also mean to float. As there is some comparison here to water, this double meaning works well in Japanese, but there is no equivalent word in English.
 	 	
子供の頃に 	kodomo no koro ni 	If there was on thing
失くした物があるとすれば 	nakushita mono ga aru to sureba 	my busy childhood never taught me
不快感を内包した喧騒で 	fukaikan o naihou shita kensou de 	It was knowing
届かない現実を 	todokanai genjitsu o 	what such hardship like this is likeThese lines were not written colloquially, so my translation is most likely inaccurate. They talk about losing something as a child, or in childhood, and that the reality of the 'hustle and bustle' of it could not convey discomfort. Exactly what the reality was and what was doing the conveying though, was hard to figure out. It's a beautiful line, to sing and read in Japanese though.
 	 	
戻れない可能性と 	modorenai kanousei to 	There is no possibility of
引き出しの中に 	hikidashi no naka ni 	escaping from inside this drawer
眠る未来数えて 	nemuru mirai kazoete 	So many dormant futures of mine
陽炎の様に消えるだけ 	kagerou no you ni kieru dake 	disappear as if they were only a mirageThis line literally says 眠る未来(nemuru mirai) meaning 'sleeping future'. A sleeping future would most likely be a future that isn't going anywhere (since it's sleeping!), and so I chose 'dormant future' instead to better illustrate this idea in English.
 	 	
頼りなさが 	tayorinasa ga 	I couldn't depend to them
引き寄せる　孤独の果て 	hikiyoseru kodoku no hate 	to end this loneliness anywayLiterally, “Unreliably attracts the end of loneliness”.
 	 	
下弦の月が照らす 	kagen no tsuki ga terasu 	Someday, perhaps, the wanning moon
足掻いた夜もいつか 	agaita yoru mo itsuka 	will shine on these struggling nights
眠りにつける日まで 	nemuri ni tsukeru hi made 	Until the day I sleep,
歩み続けてゆく 	ayumitsuzukete yuku 	I will continue to walk forward
 	 	
そうさ　願いを叫び続け 	sou sa negai o sakebitsuzuke 	That's right my wishes continue to scream
掠れた声は響く 	kasureta koe wa hibiku 	and echo from my hoarse voice
この手を伝う熱は 	kono te o tsutau netsu wa 	My resolve remains the same as always,
零れ落ちた　一人だけの今を･･･ 	kobore ochita hitori dake no ima o...	as it now oeverflows and drowns my solitude熱(netsu) is normally a word that means fever, like if you were describing yourself or someone as being sick with a cold. However, this word can also mean passion or enthusiasm. It is being used as 'passion' in this case, but most words in English that are similar to 'passion' have upbeat/happy connotations. The best word I could think of that has more of a neutral feeling behind it was resolve.
 	 	
螺旋を描く日々と 	rasen o egaku hibi to 	Each passing day draws another spiral,
言葉にならない声を 	kotoba ni naranai koe o 	as this voice continues to find no words.
想いが紡ぐ道は 	omoi ga tsumugu michi wa 	My mind progressively,
終わりなく続く 	owari naku tsuzuku 	endlessly, spins
 	 	
今日も　滲んだ夢の欠片 	kyou mo nijinda yume no kakera 	Today as well, the fragments of my hazy dreams
移ろう波に飲まれ 	utsurou nami ni nomare 	are swallowed up by these fading waves
浮かべた闇に沈む 	ukabeta yami ni shizumu 	My solemn expression drowns in it,
この世界で一つだけの涙 	kono sekai de hitotsu dake no namida 	along with the only tears I have left in this world
