Japanese

ミラーが映し出す幻を気にしながら
いつの間にか速度上げてるのさ

どこへ行ってもいいと言われると
半端な願望には標識も全部灰色だ

炎の揺らめき　今宵も夢を描く
あなたの筆先　渇いていませんか

青い空が見えぬなら青い傘広げて
いいじゃないか　キャンバスは君のもの
白い旗はあきらめた時にだけかざすの
今は真っ赤に　誘う闘牛士のように

カラーも色褪せる蛍光灯の下
白黒のチェスボードの上で君に出会った

僕らは一時　迷いながら寄り添って
あれから一月　憶えていますか

オレンジ色の夕日を隣で見てるだけで
よかったのにな　口は災いの元
黒い服は死者に祈る時にだけ着るの
わざと真っ赤に残したルージュの痕

もう自分には夢の無い絵しか描けないと言うなら
塗り潰してよ　キャンバスを何度でも
白い旗はあきらめた時にだけかざすの
今の私はあなたの知らない色

When you say to me, "You may go anywhere", all the traffic signs look like gray to me, who have an indecisive hope. Flickering flames paint my dreams again tonight. Your brush isn’t dried up yet? If you cannot see the blue sky, open your blue umbrella. Ain't it great? Canvas belongs to you. The white flag should be flown only when one gives up. Now I’m like a matador, enticing you with crimson. Under the fluorescent lights where even the color faded, I met you on the black and white chessboard. At one time, we snuggled up with each other hesitatingly. Though one month has passed since then, do you remember that? I wish I merely looked at the orange setting sun beside you! "Out of the mouth comes evil." Black clothes should be worn only when one pray for the deceased. The crimson marks of the rouge which I left intentionally. If you say that you can draw only a picture without dreams anymore, paint over a canvas again and again. The white flag should be flown only when one give up. Now, I am your unknown color.

Romanization

MIRAA ga utsushidasu maboroshi wo ki ni shi nagara
Itsu no ma ni ka sokudo ageteru no sa

Doko he itte mo ii to ii wareru to
Hanpa na ganmou ni wa hyoushiki mo zenbu haiiro da

Honoo no yurameki koyoi mo yume wo egaku
Anata no fudesaki kawaite imasen ka

Aoi sora ga mienu nara aoi kasa hirogete
Ii janai ka KYANBASU wa kimi no mono
Shiroi hata wa akirameta toki ni dake kazasu no
Ima wa makka ni sasou tougyuushi no you ni

KARAA mo iro aseru keikoutou no moto
Shirokuro no chesuboodu no ue de kimi ni deatta

Bokura wa hitotoki mayoi nagara yorisoutte
Are kara hitotsuki oboete imasu ka

ORENJI iro no yuuhi wo tonari de miteru dake de yokatta no ni na
Kuchi wa wazawai no moto
Kuroi fuku wa shisha ni inoru toki ni dake kiru no
Wazato makka ni nokoshita ruuju no ato

Mou jibun ni wa yume no nai e shika egakenai to iu nara
Nuritsubushite yo KYANBASU wo nando demo
Shiroi hata wa akirameta toki ni dake kazasu no
Ima no watashi wa anata no shiranai iro

I accelerate the auto unawares.

Flickering flames paint my dreams again tonight.
