The closed Pandora’s box has been opened
I hold a timed bomb that will explode any moment
And I am walking on a path decided for me by someone else
My withered dream doesn’t reflect in the mirror anymore
It’s not your fault – that’s the answer
I try to make excuses, blame others, avoid and hide
As I strongly run in the rat race

* Can you believe it? Don’t give up – how is it? Just enjoy
Can you believe it? Don’t be surprised, it’s not like you
Can you believe it? Don’t complain – take what you want
Yes, just like that – you have fun fun fun fun hey

A trampled tomorrow, pointless hope, twisted paradise, crumbling Tower of Babel^ – getaway
86,400 seconds again and again, bitter regrets, poisonous secrets
I swallow and swallow it but it lingers once again – take me past the Rubicon River^^

They tell me to follow the rules of the jungle
The weak and pure are scapegoats who get ridiculed
They point at others with their sharp index finger
But the remaining four fingers point at you
They just sleekly say “it’s this, it’s that”
But with the tip of their tongue, they build a higher barrier
As they forget they are trapped in a small tower

** Can you believe it? Don’t be in pain – this is what you chose
Can you believe it? Look around you and see where you are
Can you believe it? Don’t be shaken – what will ruin you is
If you stand alone and are lonely – have fun fun fun fun hey

Immature jokes, sad conclusions – this paradox is so foolish – broken pieces of my glass castle wall – getaway
With tattered scars, I extended my soft hand at the end of my happiness
But you looked away and now you’re nothing to me – please hear my earnest wish

I will let go of your hand, I will empty my hands
I slowly hold out my arms, spread out my wings
Small flapping of the wings will make rough waves arise

* Repeat

** Repeat

Getaway
