English translation: In the despair of a transparent foam My spinning heart looped Moving forward somehow, unconcerned A hesitant story Always losing something Then we’ll know today Moving forward somehow, meaninglessly A hesitant story In short, everything was smashed up
In our transparent desires My heart that is dying out, looped Moving forward somehow, unconcerned A hesitant story For how long will we lose things? You know the real me, that I was hiding Moving forward somehow, meaninglessly A hesitant story
In short, everything was smashed up In short, it was dancing in the wind A drop shining in your eyes Ah, thunder in the blue sky If there is only pain, then it’s divided between us, that’s right The color of the two of us Until our white breath runs out That road that we flew over From atop a hill, I can see a flower called "you" That has bloomed in the city, and will bloom again

In a color like yours... About the song: AKFG always reminds me of Weezer. They come across as these geeks that know how to rock. That's not bad, it's just unusual for a popular band. This song mostly leaves me speechless. The guitar line is so rocking that most of the time, I'm not even listening to the lyrics. I just let the feeling of the song and the sound of the music wash over me. It's definitely a song that will leave you feeling good after you listen to it.
