暗闇の中を　ひとりで歩いている

きっと明日になれば　照らされると信じて

ネオンが映る川沿いで　今日だって昨日にかわっていく

この世界は複雑だった　人生に意味を探すように

だけどいつだって単純に君は決めてしまうんだ

見上げる　空が眩しくて

別に後悔とかはないんだけどさ

振り返る過去だってもうないんだよ

見せかけの希望でも　救われたいんだろ

この街だけは君を　裏切ったりはしないさ

必死で生きろ　いつだってストーリーは

最後まで分からないもんだって　決まってるだろう

生きるしかないのさ

Kurayami no naka o hitori de aruite iru

Kitto asu ni nare ba terasareru to shinjite

Neon ga utsuru kawa-soi de kyō da tte kinō ni kawatte iku

Kono sekai wa fukuzatsu datta jinsei ni imi o sagasu yō ni

Da kedo itsu da tte tanjun ni kimi wa kimete shimau n da

Miageru sora ga mabushiku te

Betsu ni kōkai to ka wa nai n da kedo sa

Furikaeru kako da tte mō nai n da yo

Misekake no kibō de mo sukuwaretai n daro

Kono machi dake wa kimi o uragittari wa shinai sa

Hisshi de ikiro itsu da tte sutōrī wa

Saigo made wakaranai mon da tte kimatterudarō

Ikiru shika nai no sa

We're all walking alone through the darkness,

Believing the light will shine upon us once tomorrow comes.

Neon lights reflect by the riverside as even today becomes another yesterday.

You say, "This world was complicated," as if searching for some meaning in this life,

But you always decide things too easily!

The sky we look up to is so bright.

It's not that we have any regrets,

But we don't have a past to look back on anymore either!

I'm sure even the hopes we only keep for show are seeking salvation.

At the very least, this city will never betray us.

So live desperately! Your story is never decided

Until the very end. Of course, right?

There's nothing to do but live!

必死で生きろ　いつだってストーリーは

最後まで分からないもんだって　決まってるだろう

生きるしかないのさ

生涯で一度くらいは　本当の愛を知る

もちろん誰でも　次は君の番さ

なんて語りかける詐欺の手口は聞きあきたぜ

あんまり芸がないね

そんな嘘みたいな　約束でも

時には真に受けてみてもいい

これまでの人生じゃ　考えもしなかった

こんな時にどんな　表情(かお)をすればいいのか

終わらねえぞ　ひとつだけわかったのは

足掻くのだけはやめるべきじゃないって　そういうことだろう

いつまでもシケた面してんじゃねえ　覚悟はしていただろう

感情論で十分だ　この時を奇跡的な一瞬へ

暗闇を走っても　救われるものさ

幸運って奴だけは　どこまでも気まぐれだ

見せかけの希望でも　救われたいんだろ

この街だけは君を　裏切ったりしないさ

必死で生きろ

誰からも愛されていないような気がしても

どこかに居場所はあるものさ

この街にはね

We're all walking alone through the darkness,

Believing the light will shine upon us once tomorrow comes.

Neon lights reflect by the riverside as even today becomes another yesterday.

You say, "This world was complicated," as if searching for some meaning in this life,

But you always decide things too easily!

The sky we look up to is so bright.

It's not that we have any regrets,

But we don't have a past to look back on anymore either!

I'm sure even the hopes we only keep for show are seeking salvation.

At the very least, this city will never betray us.

So live desperately! Your story is never decided

Until the very end. Of course, right?

There's nothing to do but live!

"At least one time in your life, you'll know true love.

Everyone does. And now it's your turn!"

I'm sick of hearing those scammy speeches!

They're just so artless...

But even if those promises seem like a lie,

It's okay to take them seriously every once in a while!

In our lives up 'til now, we never really thought about

What look we should have on your faces at a time like this.

But there's no end in sight. There's only one thing I've learned:

We should never stop putting up a fight! I'm sure of it.

Stop looking so down all the time! You were prepared for this, right?

Your feelings are a good enough guide, so turn this instant into a miraculous moment!

Even running through the darkness, we can be saved.

Fate is endlessly whimsical!

I'm sure even the hopes we only keep for show are seeking salvation.

At the very least, this city will never betray us.

So live desperately! Your story is never decided

Until the very end. Of course, right?

There's nothing to do but live!
