絶望を照らした一筋の

Yue・Fiona・Millefeuille・**All**

A streak of light to shine despair away

A brilliant light that stole my gaze away

I too will join that vast galaxy one day

As a bright shining star that will shine for all

**(Yah yah yah)** A simple spotlight

**(Yah yah yah)** Unreachable outright

**(Yah yah yah)** Emotions laid downright

I'll shout it out

**This might just be a youthful impulse**

**But no one will shine over my resolution**

**Even if my body falls apart**

**I will never give my dream away**

**(Yah yah yah)** A simple spotlight

**(Yah yah yah)** Unreachable outright

**(Yah yah yah)** Soon the world will change going with my

**Impulse**

The goal line set before the night sky

We single-mindedly go for the prize

All of us shouldering our own thoughts

Shine brighter with our passions the more we fight

**(Yah yah yah)** A simple spotlight

**(Yah yah yah)** Unreachable outright

**(Yah yah yah)** Emotions laid downright

Overflowing

**We'll chase after that youthful impulse**

**Piercing through the limits like an 'explosion'**

**Even if we may lose our heart**

**We will still never give up**

Our light **(Our light)** May be fleeting

Our reach **(Our reach)** May be heartbreaking

Our thoughts **(Our thoughts)** Purity might sting

At the end of it we'll be hurt

Yet we'll still shout out

**That this might just be a youthful impulse**

**But no one will shine over our resolution**

**Even if our body falls apart**

**We will never give our dreams away**

**(Yah yah yah)** A simple spotlight

**(Yah yah yah)** Unreachable outright

**(Yah yah yah)** Soon the world will change going with our

**Impulse**

## Trivia

1. The anime MV, which was uploaded to the official Lapis Re:LiGHTs YouTube Channel, has over 1M views.
2. During the musical interlude, there is a male voice not included in the official lyrics that resembles a choppy recording. This is likely higedriver's voice. In light that this is not part of the official lyrics, they will only be reflected in the romaji portion of the lyrics.
3. The song is an allusion to RAY (or more specifically Eliza, when applied to the context of Ep.2) when they fought Magical Beasts in Ryuto prior to disbandment, profiling them as bright stars in the sky.
4. The word Ao (アオ / 青) can be applied to both Blue (青) and Young (青). See point 3 for the explanation of the change in translation.
