To the Night that Failed to be the Future

Lyrics: Akita Hiromu Composed by: Akita Hiromu

To clarify each every one of the things in
“Things led to things,” I took up my pen
But do whatever you want now, I’ve done so myself
Forget about me if you have somewhere else to go

No honorable backdown with good grace, but a muddy step forward with no grace
No flattering song of praise, but thunderous roar amid a revolution
Where has it gone, the flaming passion on that day, the playlist loaded with vexation
Distractedly repeating music and scenery, regrets, pilgrimage to the purifying past


No way, are you my long-lost immature dream? You were too bright
To be reduced to memories of the fearless talked over a few drinks
You can get angry when accused, nobody notices if you cry by yourself
Say to those nights, “See what happened?” I want to hold them saying it was no waste


To the night that failed to be the future

Nothing is better than living positively
But just saying “live positively” is never enough for a certain someone
Sometimes a dreamer could be an orphan of the society
I don’t choose the means, no, I just had no choice

I painted my heart with Grafcube of pent-up resentment and jealous contempt
The blank space I couldn’t fill in yet, I realized that was my true self
I don’t use weakness as a weapon now, I know it justifies
All the things we’ve done, now I am the answer to that day


This light can’t be seen by just anybody, only the shadow can understand the light
It sounds nice to call it a departure, but I just threw out everything and ran away
Standing on the cliff of a lonely night, there’s one last reason to jump off
Say to those nights, “Screw you,” I just wanted someone to yell it out


To the night that failed to be the future


I’m not particularly unhappy, but I’ve cried enough to afford my journey
Hey, you, who see the rut of my past, it’s no coincidence that we meet here
I’ve already given up my dream, ideal and loved one, and stopped believing too
But the one thing I can say is, I never gave up asking myself


If they cursed at your ugliness, just stay ugly and settle the score
If they mocked your imperfectness, just stay imperfect and be happy
Lonely guys in the abyss of the night, struggling and giving up tomorrow
Say to those nights, “Serves you right,” now is the time for me to sing it
 
To the night that failed to be the future
Serves you right
