Kana Boon - Baton Road

Lyrics Kanji

未来をいまに追い抜いて　足跡で描いた地上絵
その目に宿せ　光と火

重ねた夢の影　迷い顔　映る窓
有象無象　扉の向こうの群青
掴めば夢の影　答えは風の中
きっとまだ見えないもの

渇いた足跡も　辿れば幼き日
瞬きも忘れて

彼方をいまに追い抜いて　空色の日々は満身創痍
バトンロード　不安と荒路　躓きもするけど
いまは涙の種だって　咲かせれば偉大な伝承花
その芽に宿せ　君の未来

誰かを妬むこと　誰かを羨むこと　きっと避けては通れないけど
理想　思想　君だけの軌道に添うものだけは手離さないでよ

砕けたあの夜も　過去だと笑い飛ばす
そんな日が来るから

期待をいまに追い越して　錆色の日でも一心不乱に
バトンロード　雨天だろうと構いやしないのさ
どんな無様な種だって　咲かせれば偉大な伝承花
その根に宿せ　君の誓い

荒野に引かれた線路　君は過ぎ去る人々の背眺む
足跡つけ続ける日々を嘆かないで　今を誇って

闇間を抜け出すための答えが欲しいなら
闇雲でもその心　篝火を燃やして

彼方をいまに追い抜いて　誰よりも掴んでいたいよ
バトンロード　誰がなんと言おうと何度だって言え

未来を君と追い抜いて　見たいのさこの目で新章を
バトンロード　振り返ると　君だけの地上絵
いまは涙の種だって　咲かせれば偉大な伝承花
その目に宿せ　光と火　宿せ　君の未来
宿せ　いつまでも

Lyrics English

A drawing forms upon the earth, carved by our footsteps as they overtake the future.
Keep them in your eyes: the light, and the fire!

Overlapping shadows of dreams. Windows reflecting lost expressions.
The masses gather. Ultramarine shines from beyond the door.
But once grasped, it's the shadow of a dream. The answer lies in the wind.
It's surely something we're still unable to see.

Our thirsty footprints will travel the path of our young days,
And we'll forget to even blink!

Overtaking the distance, our sky-blue days are covered in wounds
Faced with uneasiness and beaten paths on this Baton Road, we'll sometimes trip along the way.
But even the seeds planted by our tears will bloom into magnificent flowers to hand down!
Keep growing it with those seed: your future!

Being jealous of someone, or envying what someone has, surely can't be avoided as we proceed...
Just be sure to never let go of the people who follow your path, standing by your thoughts and ideals.

Even that night, when you felt it would all fall apart,
Will someday be a thing of the past that you can laugh away.

Outstripping our expectations, we'll give it our all on even rust-colored days.
Going down this Baton Road, we won't care if it rains or shines.
No matter how misshapen the seeds are, they'll bloom into magnificent flowers to hand down!
Keep it in your eyes: The oath you took.

A railway spans this wasteland. You watch from behind as others depart onward.
But don't lament these days you've spent making footprints. Have pride in where you are now!

If you want an answer that will help you emerge from the darkness,
Light a beacon in your heart, even if it's improvised.

Overtaking the distance, my desire to take hold is stronger than anyone else's—
Going down this Baton Road, I don't care what anyone else might say!

Overtaking the future along with you, I want to see our new chapter with my own eyes!
When I look back down this Baton Road, I see a drawing upon the earth that belongs to you alone.
Even the seeds planted by our tears will bloom into magnificent flowers to hand down!
Keep them in your eyes: the light, and the fire! Keep growing your future!
Keep them, forever and ever!
