Born Free

Standard

Lyrics: Yoshida Takumi
Composition: Minamida Kengo

2. Born Free

It seems like ‘the real self’, being yourself,
is an eternal labyrinth where no-one reaches the end

How am I reflected in your eyes?
Will I be able to keep playing the ‘me’ that everyone wishes for?

Unknowingly, we only care about valuation
Behind the proper mask of manners and behavior we’ve taken on
In the inner, inner depths of our hearts,
there is a crying voice

No one has correct answers
about their reason to live
But even so, we desperately live on

What do we throw away, what do we acquire,
what are we searching for?
Embracing our regrets, we continue to walk
our endless journey, now and forever

It seems that ‘the real freedom’, the way it is,
is something no-one reaches, like eternally lost children

Your voice continues to support me
I want strong power that will never break

For whose sake do ‘I’ exist?
Time and time again, we’ve been asking ourselves
All people, not knowing who they are,
are playing themselves

For example, even if tomorrow
there would be pessimistic rain
Before long, the madder sky
will cast a rainbow

‘Strength means accepting your weaknesses’,
this is not a saying,
It’s what you taught me

‘The real self’
isn’t actually anywhere
The answer that lies in my heart
is always unchanging, undecorated
No matter how many times you fall
If you could laugh one last time, where would it be?

Unknowingly, we only care about other people
Discard the proper mask of outward appearances we’ve taken on
and one more time, with real words,
let’s make a vow

No one has correct answers
about their reason to live
But even so, we desperately live on

Stand up again and again
Cast a rainbow towards tomorrow
Let’s play all of it, both joy and sadness
Now and forever
On an endless journey
