Lyrics[]
どうしたって！
Tsuyoku nareru riyū o shitta boku o tsurete susume
Doro-darake no sōmatō ni you kowabaru kokoro
Furueru te wa tsukamitai mono ga aru sore dake sa
Yoru no nioi ni (I spent all 30 nights)
Sora nirandemo (staring into the sky)
Kawatteikeru no wa jibun jishin dake sore dake sa
Tsuyoku nareru riyū o shitta boku o tsurete susume
Dōshitatte!
Kesenai yume mo tomarenai ima mo
Dareka no tame ni tsuyoku nareru nara
Arigatō kanashimi yo
Sekai ni uchinomesarete makeru imi o shitta
Guren no hana yo sakihokore! Unmei o terashite.
Now I know why I can be strong
Take me with you and keep moving forward
Reeling from the sight of my grim past
My heart stiffens up
There's something my trembling hands seek to grasp
And that's all
Catching the scent of the night
I glare at the sky
But the only thing I can change is myself
And that's all
Now I know why I can be strong
Take me with you and keep moving forward
No matter what
Even if dreams can't be erased and the present is unstoppable
If I can become stronger for someone else
Then just rise up again and again
Overwhelmed by the world, now I know what it means to lose
Crimson flowers bursting into bloom
Illuminating my destiny[8]
どうしたって！
イナビカリの
(tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me)
I don't need you~
どうしたって！
Tsuyoku nareru riyū o shitta boku o tsurete susume
Doro-darake no sōmatō ni you kowabaru kokoro
Furueru te wa tsukamitai mono ga aru sore dake sa
Yoru no nioi ni (I spent all 30 nights)
Sora nirandemo (staring into the sky)
Kawatteikeru no wa jibun jishin dake sore dake sa
Tsuyoku nareru riyū o shitta boku o tsurete susume
Dōshitatte!
Kesenai yume mo tomarenai ima mo
Dareka no tame ni tsuyoku nareru nara
Arigatō kanashimi yo
Sekai ni uchinomesarete makeru imi o shitta
Guren no hana yo sakihokore! Unmei o terashite.
Inabikari no zatsuon ga mimi o sasu tomadou kokoro
yasashī dake ja mamorenai mono ga aru? wakatteruke do
suimenka de karamaru zen'aku sukete mieru gizen ni tenbatsu
(tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me)
I don't need you~
itsuzai no hana yori idomitsuzuke saita ichirin ga utsukushī
Ranbō ni shikitsumerareta toge-darake no michi mo
honki no boku dake ni arawareru kara norikoete miseruyo
kantan ni katazukerareta mamorenakatta yume mo
guren no shinzō ni ne o hayashi kono chi ni yadotte
Hitoshirezu hakanai chiriyuku ketsumatsu
mujō ni yabureta himei no kaze fuku
dareka no warau kage dareka no nakigoe
Dare mo ga shiawase o negatteru
Dōshitatte!
Kesenai yume mo tomarenai ima mo
Dareka no tame ni tsuyoku nareru nara
Arigatō kanashimi yo
Sekai ni uchinomesarete makeru imi o shitta
guren no hana yo sakihokore! Unmei o terashite.
Unmei o terashite.
