[Pre-Chorus1]
一念発起　駆け出した足に
(With sudden resolve, my feet break into a run)
縋り付く俺と俺と俺
(Me and me and me clinging on)
「どこへ行くの？」と不安げに。
(“Where are we going?” they ask, uneasy)
ああ⋯こんな顔してるのか
(Ah… so this is the face I’m making)

[Chorus1]
あの目障りな電線みたいに
(Like those irritating power lines)
青空を汚す濁った瞳
(My clouded eyes stain the blue sky)
この溢れる目薬で　なにもかも
(If only this overflowing rain of eye drops)
洗い流せたらいいのに
(Could wash it all away)

[Verse2]
宇宙のことを　語るのが好きだ
(I like talking about the universe)
でもなぜかみんな
(But for some reason, everyone)
不思議そうに微笑むだけ
(Just smiles at me, puzzled)
輝く瞳でまくしたてては
(I ramble on with shining eyes)
無人の部屋で拍手を待つ
(Then wait for applause in an empty room)

[Pre-Chorus2]
全速前進！と飛び出した空
(“Full speed ahead!” I shout and leap into the sky)
さあ、ついてこい俺と俺と俺
(Come on, follow me—me and me and me)
「なにをするの？」と楽しげに。
(“What are we going to do?” they ask, excited)
うるさい、自分で考えろ
(Shut up. Figure it out yourself.)

[Bridge]
あの日憧れた勇者みたいに
(Like the hero I once admired)
倒す魔王はどこにいる？
(Where’s the demon king to defeat?)
そんな夢を見ていたら
(While dreaming like that)
また小石に躓いた
(I tripped over a stone again)

[Chorus2]
重い重い有機の鎧も
(This heavy, heavy organic armor)
痛い痛い勇気のかけらも
(These painful fragments of bravery)
すりむいた手の平の砂も
(The grit on my scraped palms)
洗い流さぬままに
(Unwashed, just as they are)

[Final-Chorus]
あの目障りな電線みたいに
(Like those annoying power lines)
星空を汚すことさえできぬ瞳
(Eyes that can’t even stain the starlit sky)
どれだけ、いつまで、睨んでも
(No matter how long, how hard I glare)
どこまでも深い顔の空
(The sky’s face stays endlessly deep)

[Outro]
あの空に向かって投げつける
(As if to throw it at the sky)
つもりで拾った足元の小石を
(The small stone I picked up at my feet)
胸ポケットに突っ込んで
(I shove it into my chest pocket)
また旅を続ける
(And I’m still tripping.)

[Verse1] 空を見上げて　歩くのが好きだ (I like walking while looking up at the sky) でもなぜかいつも躓き転ぶ日々 (But somehow I’m always stumbling and falling) 教育行き届かぬあの小石に (On that poorly educated little stone) 苦笑い浮かべ　また見上げる (I force a wry smile and look up again) [Pre-Chorus1] 一念発起　駆け出した足に (With sudden resolve, my feet break into a run) 縋り付く俺と俺と俺 (Me and me and me clinging on) 「どこへ行くの？」と不安げに。 (“Where are we going?” they ask, uneasy) ああ⋯こんな顔してるのか (Ah… so this is the face I’m making) [Chorus1] あの目障りな電線みたいに (Like those irritating power lines) 青空を汚す濁った瞳 (My clouded eyes stain the blue sky) この溢れる目薬で　なにもかも (If only this overflowing rain of eye drops) 洗い流せたらいいのに (Could wash it all away) [Verse2] 宇宙のことを　語るのが好きだ (I like talking about the universe) でもなぜかみんな (But for some reason, everyone) 不思議そうに微笑むだけ (Just smiles at me, puzzled) 輝く瞳でまくしたてては (I ramble on with shining eyes) 無人の部屋で拍手を待つ (Then wait for applause in an empty room) [Pre-Chorus2] 全速前進！と飛び出した空 (“Full speed ahead!” I shout and leap into the sky) さあ、ついてこい俺と俺と俺 (Come on, follow me—me and me and me) 「なにをするの？」と楽しげに。 (“What are we going to do?” they ask, excited) うるさい、自分で考えろ (Shut up.
