Lyrics
<poem> 籠の中は安全で 絶対なのだと 創造すら忘れたその座に光は当たんないよ 希望語る 不満散らす 革命の合図 誰にも追いつけないところまで突き抜け 修羅を越え いつか 今に圧倒的な支配が僕の喉を渇かしたとしても 奪わせないものは 夢 燃やせ 全神経の感覚 誰に届けたいかすらもわからない音に 意義は宿らない 光を もっと光を その頂きへと Have an obsession for victory I'm proud of myself and you. We must be the change we wish to see... 始めなきゃ始まんないって わかってんのに 何を恐れて今 動けないフリしてんだって 心映す 指が走る 遊びがスパイス 差し出す想いは 僕の全てだ 「間違いも涙すらも消さないでいい」と語る背中は 自信という羽を背負う 僕は自分で選んだ道でしか上手に走れない だからどう生きるのかを 届ける 逃げてくことを 恐れた者を 人は勇者と そう呼んだ なれるだろうか やれるだろうかと 僕はまた挑んでいく たった1%でもいい 昨日の僕を超えられてんなら また笑えるはずさ きっと 燃やせ 全神経の感覚 誰に届けたいかすらもわからない音に 意義は宿らない 新しい物語 紡ぐよ 全て賭ける Ah... 光を もっと光を その頂きへと Have an obsession for victory I'm proud of myself and you We must be the change we wish to see... <poem>

<poem> The light won't reach that position that has even forgotten how to create Due to the security and the stability of the inside of the cage Speaking of hope, sparking displeasure- It's the sign of a revolution Break all the way through to a place that nobody can catch up to you And one day overcome the conflict Even if an overwhelming dominion has dried out my throat at present What I shan't let them steal is my dreams Ignite the sensations in all the nerves in your body There lies no intent In a sound when you're not even sure if you want it to reach anyone Give me light, give me more of the light I head to that summit Have an obsession for victory I'm proud of myself and you. We must be the change we wish to see... Even though I know nothing will happen Until I set the ball rolling I'm telling you- I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just pretending I can't move My fingers rush across, reflecting what I have in my heart The game they play is spice These feelings I'm presenting are my all The back which explains "Don't erase my tears or my mistakes" Bears the wings called 'confidence' I can only run well down the path that I've chosen for my life And so it reaches how I'm going to live The people called the one Who feared running away 'a hero' I wonder if I can become one... I wonder if I can do it... I once again pursue it If I can surpass the me of yesterday- all it has to be is by a single percent Then I'll be able to smile again- I'm sure of it Ignite the sensations in all the nerves in your body There lies no intent In a sound when you're not even sure if you want it to reach anyone I shall weave a new story I'll bet it all, ahh... Give me light, give me more of the light I head to that summit Have an obsession for victory I'm proud of myself and you. We must be the change we wish to see... <poem>
