NEXT STAGE

[nebulancer]

English translation:

 

(Knock on a door for the next stage...)

 

Slam into, and smash down that tall wall standing in my way

I’m sure there was nothing I’d yet to lose just yet

Leap into, and swim out into that vast ocean in front of my eyes

I’ll someday reach that treasure island, my destination

 

I’ve run my whole way here, not minding how I looked in the process

With courage in my chest, I’ve come this far

I wasn’t even all that strong, yet

I’ve gotten here thanks to the friends who’ve supported me

 

When I tried holding my hands out to the birds that flew distantly in some place, high in the sky

I felt like I’d reach them

(1, 2, to the TOP!!)

 

Still, still, it’s just getting started

Even that blocked-off future

I’ve got more than enough power and courage to pry it open

Even if God isn’t on my side,

There’s one thing I can believe in, without a single doubt

 

The headwind that pierces through my body

Continues blowing even colder, even stronger past me

These seasons I’ve laughed and cried through countless times

These passionate feelings well up from deep inside me

 

The ruts linked to me from an autumn a year ago

Haven’t ended just yet, because it’s still gonna keep on going

(3, 4, Let’s jump!!)

 

Slam into, and smash down that tall wall standing in my way

I’m sure there was nothing I’d yet to lose just yet

Leap into, and swim out into that vast ocean in front of my eyes

I’ll someday reach that treasure island, my destination

 

(Knock on a door for the next stage...)

(Knock on a door for the next stage...)

 

Though additional trials keep on showering onto my harsh reality,

It’s nothing to be scared of

If something I’ve dropped is enough to make me grieve,

Then all I have to do is search for a new one

 

Still, still, it’s just getting started

Even that blocked-off future

I’ve got more than enough power and courage to pry it open

Even if God isn’t on my side,

There’s one thing I can believe in, without a single doubt

 

(1, 2, to the TOP!!)

Slam into, and smash down that tall wall standing in my way

I’m sure there was nothing I’d yet to lose just yet

Leap into, and swim out into that vast ocean in front of my eyes

I’ll someday reach that treasure island, my destination

ぶつかれ　ぶち破れ　立ちはだかる高い壁

失うものなどまだ何も無かったはずさ

飛び込め　泳ぎだせ　目の前の大海原へ

いつかは辿り着いてみせる宝の島へ

 

なり振り構わず走ってきた

勇気をこの胸にここまでこれたんだ

そんなに強い訳じゃない僕を

支えてくれた仲間がいてくれたから

遥か高いところを飛んでる鳥達に

手をかざしたら届く気がした

 

(1.2. to the TOP!!)

まだまだ　これからさ　閉ざされてた未来さえ

こじ開ける力と勇気はあり余ってるよ

僕には　神様が　例え付いていなくとも

ひとつだけ疑わず信じてるものがある

 

この身を切り裂く向かい風が

更に冷たく強く吹き抜けてゆく

何度も笑い涙した季節

熱い気持ちが底から涌き上がるんだ

ひとつ前の秋から紡いだ轍には

まだ終わらない続きがあるさ

 

(3. 4. Let’s jump!!)

ぶつかれ　ぶち破れ　立ちはだかる高い壁

失うものなどまだ何も無かったはずさ

(Knock on a door for the next stage…)

(Knock on a door for the next stage…)

 

更なる試練が残酷なリアルが

降り掛かることも恐くはないさ

落としてきた何か惜しむ位ならば

新しいもの探しにゆくよ

 

まだまだ　これからさ　閉ざされてた未来さえ

こじ開ける力と勇気はあり余ってるよ

僕には　神様が　例え付いていなくとも

ひとつだけ疑わず信じてるものがある
