|kan1=夢を隠す白に　隔絶の水の音
透き通る流れに 身を任せ揺蕩う
|kan2=巡るこの世界　ワタシハヒトリ
伸ばした手　隙間埋めるには広すぎて
|kan3=幻想 {{lang|en|(fade out)}} 刹那の願い {{lang|en|(momentary wishes)}}
指先触れるその瞬間に {{lang|en|(falling love)}}
ゆらめく邂逅と　つかの間の淡い色
心は惹かれてく
|kan4=穢れ知らぬ青に　溶けるは甘い毒
手招く安らぎに　体は蝕まれ
|kan5=揺らぐこの世界　アナタトフタリ
繋いだ手　離し生きるには狭すぎて
|kan6=幻想 {{lang|en|(fade out)}} 刹那の願い {{lang|en|(momentary wishes)}}
指先触れるその瞬間に {{lang|en|(falling love)}}
ゆらめく邂逅と　つかの間の淡い色
心は惹かれてく
|kan7=溺れた感情　息もできずに
響くは悪魔の囁き
蕩けて消えるなら　せめて最期に見せて
うたかたの夢を
|kan8=誘われる　仄暗い水底
墜ちゆけば二度と　光の下へとは戻れない
{{lang|en|(But still I’m longing for…)}}
|kan9=幻想 {{lang|en|(fade out)}} 刹那の願い {{lang|en|(momentary wishes)}}
指先触れるその瞬間に {{lang|en|(falling love)}}
ゆらめく邂逅と　つかの間の淡い色
心は惹かれてく
|kan10=溺れた感情　息もできずに
響くは悪魔の囁き
蕩けて消えるなら　せめて最期に見せて
うたかたの夢を

|rom1=yume o kakusu shiro ni kakuzetsu no mizu no ne
sukitooru nagare ni mi o makase tayutau
|rom2=meguru kono sekai watashi wa hitori
nobashita te sukima umeru ni wa hirosugite

yubisaki fureru sono toki ni

|rom4=kegare shiranu ao ni tokeru wa amai doku
temaneku yasuragi ni karada wa mushibamare

|eng1=I surrender myself to an isolated sound of water,
Swaying in the white where dreams are concealed
|eng2=I’m alone in this revolving world,
The ground crack in where I outstretch my hand is too wide
|eng3=An illusion, (fade out) an extemporary wish
Just when my fingertips started to shiver
My heart begins growing attracted
To that flickering chance of meeting, that brief time of pale colors
|eng4=A sweet poison melting into a filthy unknown blue;
It beckons me, consuming my whole body while feeling at ease
|eng5=Me and you, together, in this trembling world
Living in it releasing the hand I held makes it so narrow…
|eng6=An illusion, (fade out) an extemporary wish
Just when my fingertips started to shiver
My heart begins growing attracted
To that flickering chance of meeting, that brief time of pale colors
|eng7=A drowning emotion, without even being able to breath
As the whisper of demons resounds around
If an ephemeral dream, melting, would disappear
At least let me see it for one last time…
|eng8=Being invited into the obscure river bottom
I know that if I’d fall I won’t be able to return once more under the light
(But still I’m longing for…)
|eng9=An illusion, (fade out) an extemporary wish
Just when my fingertips started to shiver
My heart begins growing attracted
To that flickering chance of meeting, that brief time of pale colors
|eng10=A drowning emotion, without even being able to breath
As the whisper of demons resounds around
If an ephemeral dream, melting, would disappear
At least let me see it for one last time…
