Lyrics&Vocal&Arrange : arvin homa aya
[1A]
Afraid to fall down
Cause scattered around
The broken dreams
Are cutting me down
Deeper than I’ve known right down here in the middle
Abandoned promises
Hidden between
Playful lies
Make it hard to find
Where I’ve got to go so find me in the middle
[1A’]
They hide in the dark
Secrets unknown
Following me
As I try to keep
Finding my way back to where I was in the middle
I try to escape
The dark of the night
Before I go
Out of my mind
I’ve gotta chase the dark away down in the middle
[1C]
So light me up tonight
No more black and white
Show me all the shades the world beholds
Take pride
In all the scars you hide
Our tears reflect our fight
Break through all the doubt
And let it shine…
[2A]
Afraid to fall down
Cause scattered around
The broken dreams
Are cutting me down
Deeper than I’ve known right down here in the middle
Abandoned promises
Hidden between
Playful lies
Make it hard to find
Where I’ve got to go so find me in the middle
[2C]
So light me up tonight
No more black and white
Show me all the shades the world beholds
Take pride
In all the scars you hide
Our tears reflect our fight
Break through all the doubt
And let it shine…
True Colors
[3A]
Afraid to fall down
Cause scattered around
The broken dreams
Are cutting me down
Deeper than I’ve known right down here in the middle
Abandoned promises
Hidden between
Playful lies
Make it hard to find
Where I’ve got to go so find me in the middle
[3C]
So light me up tonight
No more black and white
Show me all the shades the world beholds
Take pride
In all the scars you hide
Our tears reflect our fight
Break through all the doubt
And let it shine…
[4A]
They hide in the dark
Secrets unknown
Following me
As I try to keep
Finding my way back to where I was in the middle
I try to escape
The dark of the night
Before I go
Out of my mind
I’ve gotta chase the dark away down in the middle
[4C]
So light me up tonight
No more black and white
Show me all the shades the world beholds
Take pride
In all the scars you hide
Our tears reflect our fight
Break through all the doubt
And let it shine…

Lyrics&Vocal&Arrange : arvin homa aya
つまずく度
足元に散らばった
叶わなかった夢の欠片たちが
奥深くまで
切り刻んでくる
したはずの約束
何気ない嘘に紛れて
隠れてしまう
向かうべき先も分からず…
早く私を見つけ出して
忘れられた秘密
暗闇に潜み
足跡を辿って追ってくる
それでも私は
前に進んでいく
真っ暗な夜から
気が触れてしまう前に
逃れようと
闇を祓うように
今度は追いかけるよ
今その光で照らしてよ
モノクロな世界とはもうさようならしたい
色という色を全部見つけたい
隠しているその傷跡にも
プライドを持って
その涙は闘いの証でもあって
迷いの迷路から抜け出そう
そして自ら光を放つよ
