My desire wanders like an endless maze

Running round as the night darkens

I go round, and round, and round, and round

I might end up here till tomorrow

So, I scream and chant

Unrestrained when I swing my arms

I say what I wanna say, my thoughts I convey

I say, I say, I say, I say

But they still could not understand

So I scream and chant

Eternity is not what I desire

It’s such a petty aspiration I was

longing for when I was younger

Friends come and go, I know I’ll be alone

That’s no surprise, I’ve always known that fact way

back as a cute little toddler

Slipping through my lips are spells that I recite to kiss and tell

Playing with my dreams in starry nights upon the wishing well

Fascinating, contemplating

Trying to light a spark that hides behind a Grimm old fairy tale

Trying to ignite the flame of passion, but to no avail

Just like a dream, not what it seems

Up until my hundredth wish

She’s who I wish I could be, alright (Yes, Stella)

Yet I’m a warrior against her side (So upright)

It’s so ironic to aspire to (defend you)

I guess that will remain a daydream

Now I’m confronted by reality

Now as I finally get to see you

We’re at both ends, across the formation

My mind says I should do what I am told

But my heart beats a different rhythm

Saying I should find courage to save you

Lipstick-stained red luscious lips reciting a mysterious spell

Like a wild enchantress, I try to protect myself as well

Agitating, aggravating

Trying to light a spark that hides behind a Grimm old fairy tale

Trying to ignite the flame of passion, but to no avail

Follow my dream, I’m on your team

I’m gonna do it my way

She’s who I wish I could be, alright (Yes, Stella)

Yet I’m a warrior against her side (Not tonight)

It’s so ironic to aspire to (defend you)

I guess that I’ll fulfill my daydream

My desire wanders like an endless maze

Running round as the night darkens

I go round, and round, and round, and round

I might end up here till tomorrow

So, I scream and chant

Unrestrained when I swing my arms

I say what I wanna say, my thoughts I convey

I say, I say, I say, I say

But they still could not understand

So I scream and chant

She’s who I wish I could be, alright (Yes, Stella)

Yet I’m a warrior against her side (So upright)

It’s so ironic to aspire to (defend you)

I guess that will remain a daydream

She is what I aspire to be (sō Sutera)

My dream should remain longings (nē santan)

She is what I aspire to be (ā haihan)

Your dream must remain longings

I’m trapped in a maze with the urge to wander

Dreaming a dream, but now the sun’s set

I still got tomorrow, so gotta stay calm

Stand up with my chin up, and chant out loud

If I act big, not a care in the world

Then I gotta say, gotta let them hear

I still got a dream, so whatever it takes

Ignore the naysayers and doubters—just chant out loud

Sorry, but forever here’s less than ideal

So below me, I’ve known that since I was one

This world’s just not ready for me

Friends are replicas of loneliness

Things never change, I realized that when I was three

The future was kept away from me

A child’s spell slips from my lips

And everyone toys with my starless dream

Cross swords, stand my ground

Even if the child’s spell that started this fire

Is something out of a Grimm’s fairy tale

It feels like a dream, but no way a dream

Just my hundredth wish

She is what I aspire to be (Yes, Stella)

My dream should remain longings (So tragic)

She is what I aspire to be (Oh, the betrayal)

Your dream must remain longings

My ideals clash head on with reality

I’m hopeless and completely accept the truth

From there, from then

Courage lets me focus on what I need to do

Surely, I can change even when I’m older

The future’s not set in stone

A child’s spell spouts from my rouge-painted lips

And I grow up to be the master of the stars

Cross swords, pay the price

Even if the child’s spell tickling me now

Marks the beginning of the end

There’s no dream that lasts forever

That’s the answer

She is what I aspire to be (Yes, sing her name)

My dream should remain longings (It’s gone now)

She is what I aspire to be (Oh, the betrayal)

Your dream must remain longings

I’m trapped in a maze with the urge to wander

Dreaming a dream, but now the sun’s set

I’m still on my journey, eyes on the prize

No surrender, no escape—just chant out loud

If I act big, not a care in the world

Then I gotta say, gotta let them hear

I still got a dream, so whatever it takes

Just do it now, and chant that one spell out loud

She is what I aspire to be (Yes, Stella)

My dream should remain longings (So tragic)

She is what I aspire to be (Oh, the betrayal)

Your dream must remain longings
