A faint beacon shining in the darkness
A flicker that never fades
It beams out but it's dark below
I can't see, I can't go

Unable to breathe, I leaped out
Ran down a back alley filled with the smell of rats
I've got nothing, nothing at all

“I hope you all die,” I thought
As I swayed back and forth on the swing
Looking up in spring, there's a star shining behind the clouds

A distinct beacon shining in the darkness
A flicker that never fades
It beams out but it's dark below
I can't see, I can't go

I was forced to hold
A box to put my dreams in
Gotta hurry, gotta fill it up
I've got nothing, nothing at all

“It must be nice to be young”
I don't care, you asshole
If I die tomorrow, that's it as far as my life goes

A lone beacon burning in the darkness
Even if I wave my hand and chase after it
It beams with light but it's dark below
I can't see, I can't go

Lighthouse
Don't think about saving people
Just keep shining

In the middle of the night that envelops the city
I ponder the meaning of myself

Mask my vanity and feign sanity with a smile
The edges of my mind are breaking down

Just deciding which path is the right one to take
Narrowed the road ahead

How long will I have to live through these days?
Sadness comes and goes
“There’s joy too, you know?”
That's right
I know that for sure
But it’s always like this
I don’t know what I know

Shameless light from a cracked screen
I start comparing and lose my composure
The numbers are solid

How long will I have to live through these days?
Hatred comes and goes
“Just be yourself, you know?”
That's right
Can you please shut up?
I wonder if someday
I’ll know

How long will I have to live through these days?
Sadness comes and goes
“There’s joy too, you know?”
That's right
I know that for sure
But it’s always like this
I don’t know what I know

Those few seconds after birth
Are our last bits of freedom
A game of musical chairs that goes on and on
Till I get blood-stained feet

I can't sit in a chair for too long
I'll fall apart if I stay
I'll go somewhere else and leave people behind
Common sense gets older and older

Take the helm
Reject the oppressive looks I get from others
And set a course straight through the unknown darkness
Be on my own
I can sit right there

Thanks for leaving me out
When I realize I've been thrown to the wayside
I am free
Meet up with individuals who can't be replaced

Demons aiming for the top
Treasure Island is a depressing place
Happiness hides in the warmth from two seconds ago

On the waves of the day-to-day
I turn my back on the shining jealousy
Take the helm of the love in my heart
Shun the curses I put on myself
And set a course straight through the unknown darkness
Be on my own
I sit right there
And become a beacon of light

You’re awake and all wet
Lazing around in the middle of a pool
Ouch, I looked back to those days
The scar is still here

Just by walking, I’m back in the 90s
I’ve got a uniform on with some sagging pants, a towel on my buzz cut
Looking back now, it was pretty cringe
Once I take off my helmet and shoulder pads, there’s nothing to do after class
Someone called me, “Ota and Tanaka are at the yakiniku shop!” and I run out of the mahjong parlor
I stash my signature paper in my bike basket and start pedaling
My phone rings while I’m on my way, Ota went home but Tanaka’s still there
Unsure what to do, I head home
I talked about it on Kensaku-chan
But Tanaka-san wasn’t laughing
But Tanaka-san wasn’t laughing

Asagaya and Koenji
Evening and orange
Envy and jealousy, grievances and resentments
They’re bound to this path
Asagaya and Koenji
Evening and orange
The train heading for glory
Passes me by on its holiday schedule

After you succeed, they envy you
Inside of that jealousy, it’s a silent universe
I remember the day you cried
You’re still a part of me

I spend a hundred yen for a five-minute shower, but it goes by quick
With the wind on the way back as my dryer, saving myself ten yen
I hit up the 100-yen shop and scramble for some half-off onigiri with my neighbors
I’ve got no results to show, but a rose is still a rose, so even if you’re right, I’m not listening
Channeling my midnight ressentiment, I made this DeLorean, Asagaya, I’m out
You’re in the same car, right? Funky Fresh Gen, my man!
Look at me now, are you proud of me? Maeken-san!
Now that I think about it, it was merely a scene of a larger story
My troubles are hard to understand and keep on increasing
I’d also want Kon Arimura to watch this movie
LET’s roll LIGHTHOUSE#1

Asagaya and Koenji
Morning and orange
Like a post-game RPG
I continue wandering along the railway line
Asagaya and Koenji
Morning and orange
There’s still more EXP to get in the post-game
So I ride the Sobu Line down to Suidobashi

Asagaya and Koenji　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　On a stormy morning
Morning and orange
Envy and jealousy, grievances and resentments　　　　　You had your jealousy and regretted it
I paint this road over
Asagaya and Koenji　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　I found you
Morning and orange
Just the two of us, the setting sun on our backs　　　　　You’re still here inside of me
Singing along this road

Even though we’d solved none of our problems
We came to the beach

A sprinkle of dreams and the sound of waves
Helped a little to keep us alive

The present will eventually be
An indistinct, uncertain story

Sugar crystals, swaying in the waves
Capture our troubled minds and dissolve into the sea
The hands on the clock ticked away
Giving life to the everyday

Helplessly
I'm still alive
In all this shit
It’s freaking amazing

Reluctantly
I breathe and dance
My cheeks flush red
As we dance, laughing together

Even after a hundred years
Surprise! We’ll still be alive
On this planet
Where we struggled together

After we’d long gone
The beacon of light just continued to shine down
On the days we sing
On the dances where we laugh together

Hopes
Left brain
The child of meaning
Mobility
The three poisons
A moonless night
Come over here
Aspirations
Possibilities
God works in mysterious ways
A guiding light
Striking a pose
I celebrate
Love
A window
