Shell

Lyrics: Kazutoshi Sakurai
Composition: Takeshi Kobayashi

"My body reacted before I could think"
That somewhat strange experience makes my heart flutter
It wasn't something I was taught
and even though I hadn't prepared at all for it
I felt like "I had it from the beginning"

It's a marvelous moment
when I'm born from breaking out of my shell
And it's showing my hardened mind
another universe

A terrific amount of information is flying about
We're so used to the stimulation that we don't really feel anything
What was justice yesterday
is mere lip service, a lie stained in interests
Opportunistic pump and dump
pitting conspiracy theories against one another

Our eyes blocked
by overlapping "circumstances"
it all came down to
"Who made a profit?" in the end

The next universe
I'm born in from breaking out of my shell
will also have a different "ending"
Though I doubt there'll be an end

Ominously surging waves, the enormous sea at night
The light of the lighthouse is shining in the distance
I wonder if you can see it
I wonder if we can keep
that honest light going?
Will we be able to reach it?

What was the meaning for being born?
That question no longer has meaning
We're simply "together" and "with you"
We are all alive
interacting with one another

Becoming the sky, lalala...
One day breaking out of my shell, lalala...

Born and then disappearing
I'm in that loop
of repetition
coming together with you

Who should I express
my "thank you" for this encounter?
This encounter will surely change the future a little
It will change
It will change
It will change

"Kangaeru yori saki ni karada ga hannou shiteta"
Sonna sukoshi kimyou na keiken ni mune ga zawatsuku
Osowatte kita koto nanka ja naku
Sono tame no junbi nante hitotsu mo shite nakutemo
"Saisho kara sonawatteta" you na kankaku ga shita kara

Kara wo yabutte umareta
Fushigi na shunkan
Kataku natta atama ni
Betsu no uchuu wo shimeshite iru

Susamajii butsuryou de jouhou wa tobikatte iru
Shigeki ni narasarete taitei wa nanimo kanjinai
Kinou made seigi datta mono wa
Tada no kireigoto riken ni mamireta uso
Inbouron wo suriau
Gotsugoushugi pojishon tooku

Orikasanatta "jijou" ni
Me wo fusagarete
"Dare ga moukatta?"
Saigo wa soko ni kiketsu shita

Kara wo yabutte umareta
Tsugi no uchuu nimo
Mata chigatta "hate" ga aru
Owari wa nai'n darou kedo

Bukimi ni uneru nami kyodai na yoru no umi
Toudai no akari ga tooku wo terashite iru
Kimi ni mieru darou ka?
Massugu na sono hikari
Kesazu ni ireru darou ka?
Tadoritsukeru darou ka?

Nan no imi wo motte umareta?
Sono tooi ni koso mou imi wa nai
Tada "tomo ni aru" "anata to aru"
Kakawariatte ikite iru
Daremo ga mina

Sora ni natte rarara...
Itsuka kara wo yabutte rarara...

Umarete wa kiete yuku
Sonna kurikaeshi no
Wa no naka ni boku wa ite
Kimi to kasanatteru

Kono deai no "arigatou" wa
Dare ni tsutaereba ii?
Kono deai de kitto sukoshi mirai wa kawaru darou
Kawaru darou
Kawaru darou
Kawaru darou
