Lyrics Meaning
Life begins where, by whose signal, we’re dropped in this place. Unaware of our roles, we manipulate our given bodies, living day by day. Visualized reality erases even a glimmer of hope, mocking us. Knowing how to fight, we still abuse our powerless selves. Holding a sword we can’t swing, unable to cut confusion, running without answers, fog deepens, hiding in the dark night. With no promises, tears guide us. “Can’t go back” echoes, opening a door. Fate pushes us to give up, even when despair covers us, the light in your eyes illuminates new possibilities. Questioning our hearts, the place we chose is everything I must protect now, even if not forgiven, I promised you that day, I’m not alone. Two shadows stretch, from the flash of light. We’ll surely overcome this endless journey. This wish entrusted to me, the sword I’ll unsheathe, for what I must protect, even if not forgiven, I promised you that day, I’m not alone. Let’s cut through doubts, etching a dazzling future. Two shadows stretch, from the flash of light.
