Lyrical Connections: Moving Forward

I want to tell you that I'm really not that strong 

That I'm powerless, unable to save the odds and ends of the world.

I drew countless pictures, a future full of that hope

While I wandered, trying to find something precious that wouldn't change 

And the rain... onto the loneliness of my past, onto my soul, it heavily poured…

I told myself “Don't look down. Don't look back.”

So as not to be crushed by loneliness and anxiety 

I told myself that I won't forget the pain I felt that day

I wonder “Is there something to strive for at the end of all of this?” 

I asked myself “What’s the real me?”

No matter what kind of experiences I have, I still become lost

Lost at the intersection of the past and the future

When we can't see where we're going and stand still

One action remains, I turn my back and walk the lonely road

Since I can do nothing but look back at the journey along this road

I question “How many times have I taken a detour? How many times have I fallen?”

Yet, I continued searching for the true meaning of strength

Searching for a single answer.

I'm chasing relentlessly, but I can't reach it

I say “How much farther must I run?”

But if you can at least dream it, you can go search for it without worrying too much.

Since there's nothing to lose, nothing to gain

And I turn another page of my biography.

  

Everybody tells you from time to time to never give up like a phrase from a movie

And I'm searching for certainty

The pain I feel inside reminds me that I'm living every day
But even though I will get covered in scars, to me it’s more painful to just give up

So don’t make me laugh I will do what I want.

What can I do to see the daylight once more?

Since I keep getting farther away from my dreams, I changed direction

And as time passes by, we find the strength inside.

I'm standing here alone, as always all alone

But I’m fine even if I’m solo. I’m different from others.

And that is what I shouted until my voice was dry

Because speaking your mind feels a lot better.

 

I want to become kind, so that everything else about me can be forgiven

Just like me in actuality, everyone wants to be saved

And the joy-filled future will become a miracle.

But if you don’t trust the future, continue with that force.

I think about the foolish people of this race, acting as if they were the rulers of all, with their childish theorems that reek of their conceitedness.  

I ask myself “What kind of world is waiting for us at the end of this unknown path?”

And I leave behind this world's unending sadness.

So I say “Let's go start a revolution. Let's go make our dreams come true!”

No matter what sort of anxiety clings to me

I’ll go and find my new self; strength to light the way.

Then I will show you a completed changed me

And as time goes on I’ll change more, to be even stronger.

Because even if my existence is destroyed now, I will still keep walking down my path

I will overcome the walls and go forward

So let me be me, and I'll grasp my dreams!
