On the same night a snail passed
Crushed under a rubber boot
Some three years ago from this moment
I stood one shoe to the ground
The other to the tree bark
As I was awestruck by the sky's glint
At that moment, what I thought
As I gazed upon the stars
Paralyzed by the thought of 'ending'
I thought if the world would end
As long as I could loop forever
I'd somehow live like a king
Living off asphalt and the rotten-tasting bento
A love, a dream — I don't need these two things
With nothing but me, I'll go break through reality
Like that, I can fly through the sky clear blue
See a new world out there — for who?
The city's lit by 360 degrees of light
Not from streetlights, but by stars oh so bright
Five seconds fly by, and Japan is swallowed up
Crushed by a large unknown meteorite
Aliens pass by, and with no one left
They take control of Earth as humanity cries
Heaven fills with life as all that we once knew
Has perished, only to then rise
So raise your head and grab your metal bat
And stop daydreaming — there's no time for that
Somewhere out there is a god hiding
In the neverending monsoon, waiting for you
First with our bats we'll break down this monument
Through these closed doors, live for each moment
Come now with me, listen and heed all my words
If you truly understand, then stand up, exit dreamland
Hey, come explain to me what a goodbye does mean
I'd like to know if it's important too
Hey, tell me what to do — when I say I'm sorry
Should I look away or look right at you?
Ah, go on, look above! The words made with those questions
They've transformed, becoming stars anew
Hey, tell me, tell me
Tell this and this and that
Hey, hey! Tell me, tell me, tell me!!
The night a red dragonfly
Flew for the very last time
A hundred years from this one moment
I was staring at the sky
With my head against the ground
And my feet making cloudy footprints
The starlit sky far above
It's only just begun shining
So bright and brilliantly
All that I see from this point
Is unfocused as can be
As if the stars lived eternally
These circular signs and broken cassettes line my life
I'll throw them out and, unworried, say bye
But all the goodbyes and the apologies from you
I don't need it, I don't want it, I don't
Yet I can't throw these things away, I can't
And once again, a birth, a brand new world
A miracle begins anew
Oh, this feeling I had when we said our goodbyes
Is one I'd never like to feel again
Hey, when you said sorry while looking in my eyes
Was it okay that I was crying then?
Ah, go on, look above! The questions made with those words
Have transformed, written with stellar pens
Hey, tell me, tell me
Tell this and this and that
Hey, hey! Tell me, tell me, tell me!!
Ah, as I think of it, there's lots of wondrous things
I'd never expect to see in this world
Yet in a perfect life, there wouldn't be a thing
To discover, and no tales to unfurl
Ah, the sky up above is lit with stellar dust
It glows and glows so intensely with love
So then, come on with me! We'll go, move on forward!
We don't have to think about a thing now!
Hey, tell me, tell me
Tell this and this and that
Hey, hey! Tell me, tell me, tell me!!
