Chrysalis

We’ve always been waiting
for the perfect day for sunshine
Just as we never ran away, we forever withstood all that we came across without being afraid
What we’d tucked away during the cold wintry winds and long nights were our hopes and a perfect world, ever-growing imaginations
Whether reality is cold-hearted, relentless, or even gentle, it will change with time
That’s why we immerse ourselves in deep dreams
Failures and errors become our needs for survival
It’s better to regret a lifetime after having done something than to regret after having done nothing
The chrysalis will someday have hope growing in their hearts SO FLY

We knocked again at the wavering mindsets of our reality and ideal world
The wind laughs at us for being cowards and yet
We want to see the things we have yet to see
We’ll metamorphose into butterflies under the night sky
The stars are twinkling, inviting us to FLY HIGH IN THE SKY

Someday we’ll be able to reach far, far past the sky to the high heavens
The stars are standing out, sparkling, shimmering, glowing even still
We’re unable to move, unable to fly away, unable to even face our own truly ugly selves
But we also cannot replace ourselves with others

The future we want to see rests on our own shoulders
So we firmly build up our strength for tomorrow’s sake
Our dream may be out of reach, but the world doesn’t have the right answers for everything
We’re going to shine someday, definitely

We knocked again at the wavering mindsets of our reality and ideal world
The wind laughs at us for being cowards and yet
We want to see the things we have yet to see
We’ll metamorphose into butterflies under the night sky
The stars are twinkling, inviting us to FLY HIGH IN THE SKY

It’s you who can’t keep going according to your image, because it’s still incomplete
How many times have you hurt me?
The sound of the wind wants to know just how many thousand, how many tens of thousands of injuries have formed on our wings
The sound of the sky wants to savor a ride on these wings
Because sometimes even reality can surpass imagination
What we heard were the cheers of our friends
Fear and insecurities will always be in anyone’s heart
The strength dancing around the tattered wings remain left behind
Only the part that’s wounded glimmers
We can still go on
Fly
Flap our wings
Try the skies again and again!

Without even understanding the means to fly the skies, we extend our wings towards heaven
The wind laughs at us for being inexperienced, but now…
The haughty passion in our hearts, the adventures etched within our shells are changed by the might of our wings
Soar the heavens and FLY HIGH IN THE SKY

Stir up the cells within us taking off for the future
Even on rainy days, even when there’s lightning, even those days when we just want to make a run for it
Flap our wings and shine light through the cloudy skies
We’ll fill our hearts with our wishes and feelings, and we’ll unfurl our wings ON THE WIND
