Kanji:

ひとしずく落ちた　水の感触

僕は泣いているのか　何をなくしたかわからないのに

それはもう二度と戻らない　そんな気がするだけ

人類の失敗は望んだこと　つきまとう影に立ち向かう力を

武器を向けたその標的が　鏡に映った自分だなんて気づきもしなかった

にじんでる歩道橋のらくがき　置いてかれた自転車

誰かの帰りを待ってる   認めて　ただ存在を

僕こそがオリジナル　あるいはそのレプリカ

僕らの証明はどこにある

人類の欠点は　見えもしないくせに　愛とか絆とか信じられること

僕の罪はうたがったこと　差し伸べられた君の右手　初めて見たヒカリ

ぶつかり　交わり　僕らは進化する

殻を打ち破る音を　唯一無二の産声を

さあ、響け

すべて終わるさいごの時に　僕は何を知り　誰を思うのだろう

選択肢はきっと何万通りもあって

でも欲しいのは　選べるのは　たったひとつ

人類の欠点は　見えもしないくせに　愛とか絆とか信じられること

僕の罪はためらったこと　差し伸べられた君の右手　初めて見たヒカリ

僕らは―――

English:

I feel a single drop of water fall,

And wonder if I’m crying, despite having no idea what I’ve lost…

… I just get the feeling that I’ll never get it back.

I wished for the failure of humanity, 

wanting to fight back against the shadow lurking after me…

Without even realizing that the target I’d turned my weapon to, 

was a reflection of myself in the mirror.

Blurred graffiti lines the overpass as a left behind bicycle,

Waits for someone’s return; For someone to just acknowledge its existence…

I must be the one original… or maybe a replica?

But where does our proof lie?

Humanity’s faults lie out of sight, 

yet we’re still able to believe in things like love and bonds.

My sin is ever having doubted; 

your outstretched right hand was the first light I ever saw.

Colliding and blending together, we evolve,

With a sound that rips through our shells; an unmatched cry of birth.

So let it out!

In the final moment when everything comes to an end, 

I wonder what I’ll learn… and who I’ll think of.

There are surely thousands of possible choices,

But there’s only one I want… only one I can choose.

Humanity’s faults lie out of sight, 

yet we’re still able to believe in things like love and bonds.

My sin is ever having hesitated; 

your outstretched right hand was the first light I ever saw.

You and I…
