BLACK BOX

ENG
Silently passing daybreak
A rooster crows to herald the sunset
Descend into fog and enjoy the silence
Black, white, I pierced through the spectrum
The grey is who I am
Both in dreams and made flesh
I’ve entered the unmapped land
They’re trying to find a mistake to judge me on
Just like a scandal in the castle the scene plays out
The truth brought to light is tucked back into bed
Perverting the fairytale
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
Cling with me to the sunlight
The future’s our backbone
These are the generations, on and on
Whether we go on or go up in smoke
Whether or not you reach the sky
Spread your wings
The walls of heaven are yet unfinished
Someone’s victory is someone else’s injustice
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
Cling with me to the sunlight
The future’s our backbone
These are the generations
A prism of the sunset
Crown in place
I wear it like the rooster’s crest
The winds of adversity curls around like a shadow
Together, united, standing in line in formation
We’re innovators
Nine people, nine colors
They can’t come between us, we face the storm ahead as one
When they come for us because we won’t
Comply with the established labyrinth we’ve been given
On the day when they burned books, I set forth on revenge
This tattoo is a falling angel
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
Go ahead, question everything
Question my honesty
Both bretheren and friends become unknown
Whether it’s input or output
Whether or not there is anything but emptiness inside
Saying “I don’t know”
and knowing that is something we can’t lose
When you’ve lost all your options, it’s the best way to see what options are left
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
Go ahead, question everything
Question my honesty
Friends become unknown
Even a lie can become the truth
So take your own heart, even if that’s the thing you can’t grasp
Modify emotion, riddled with inconsistency losing control
Running to find what seems and what’s real, my heart and my soul is the greatest BLACK BOX
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
Cling with me to the sunlight
The future’s our backbone
These are the generations, on and on
Whether we go on or go up in smoke
Whether or not you reach the sky
Spread your wings
The walls of heaven are yet unfinished
Someone’s victory is someone else’s injustice
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
Go ahead, question everything
Question my honesty
Both bretheren and friends become unknown
Whether it’s input or output
Whether or not there is anything but emptiness inside
Saying “I don’t know”
and knowing that is something we can’t lose
When you’ve lost all your options, it’s the best way to see what options are left
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
Go ahead, question everything
Question my honesty
Friends become unknown
…What do we do next?

Daybreak 告げず
宵(よい)を待って鳴く雄鶏(ルースター)
グロッキーなるサイレンスは雄弁
黒い白、スルーしつつあった
グレイの who I am
夢も現(うつつ)も
ズレたマッピング
律する過ち
まるでキャッスルのスキャンダルの様な体
暴く者を葬り捨てる
歪んだフェアリーテイル
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
白日、掴みとろう
未来(あす)がバックボーン
先の先の昨今
どうせ延長、炎上
空は飛べなくとも
羽ばたこう
見果てぬのさ、“上”
誰かの正当は 誰かの不当
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
白日、掴みとろう
未来(あす)がバックボーン
先の昨今
夕焼けのプリズム
冠する
トサカのようにスローガン
逆境の風にたなびかせ
集い 揃い 横一列で闊歩
We’re innovators
九人九色
しない干渉 共に波乱万丈
いつかラビリンスの
パブリッシングに背いたせい
焚書の火に誓ったリベンジ
Tattooは堕天使(フォーリング・エンジェル)
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
当たり前、疑おう
オレの真っ当
誰も彼もアンノウン
どうせインプット、アウトプット
中身(なか)が空っぽでも
“知らない”と
知ることが大切
絶体絶命は 絶好の機会
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
当たり前、疑おう
オレの真っ当
誰もアンノウン
嘘だって真実
So 己の心、それさえ知り得ぬところ
感情をチューニング 矛盾だらけ losing control
“らしさ”追求し奔走する 自分自身が最大のBLACK BOX
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
白日、掴みとろう
未来(あす)がバックボーン
先の先の昨今
どうせ延長、炎上
空は飛べなくとも
羽ばたこう
見果てぬのさ、“上”
誰かの正当は 誰かの不当
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
当たり前、疑おう
オレの真っ当
誰も彼もアンノウン
どうせインプット、アウトプット
中身(なか)が空っぽでも
“知らない”と
知ることが大切
絶体絶命は 絶好の機会
Break through the BLACK BOX, BLACK BOX
当たり前、疑おう
オレの真っ当
誰もアンノウン
…そしてどうする?
