TURNING POINT

kanashiku fukashigi na NYUUSU de nigiwau on the TV
kotae ya riyuu nante kentou mo tsukanai kedo
They've got all this sad or strange news
On the TV
And no one can find in them
An answer or reason

ikite iru genjitsu hodo nomikomaretara
itami to yasashisa wo kitto torichigau
If you get so caught up in them
That they seem like reality
You'll surely start to mistake
Pain and kindness for each other

kajikanda te wo tsunaide
ima wa kizu no nameai demo
dokoka ni hisomu It's Turning Point
mienai teki tatakiotosu toki made
illusion no toriko [1]
Give me your numbed hand
And, right now, we'll lick each other's wounds,
But hidden somewhere, it's Turning Point
Until we knock down our invisible enemies
We're prisoners of illusion [1]

'nareai, migatte, ningen wa yakkai na ikimono...'
chigau yo DAME da yo sore ga hontou no migatte
Intimacy, selfishness, people are vexing beings
'It's wrong,' 'It's hopeless'--That is real selfishness

daremo ga motsu kanousei wa urahara na mono
sameta boukansha mo kitto tsumi ni naru
A person's potential is a thing of contradiction
A onlooker who does nothing is also guilty of sin

hibiwareta te wo tsunaide
tatoe kizu no nameai demo
ato ni wa hikenai It's Turning Point
tokenai yume tatakitsubusu toki made [2]
illusion no toriko
Grab my torn-away hand again
And, let's say, we'll lick each other's wounds
But there's no going back, it's Turning Point
Until we smash this perpetual dream
We're prisoners of illusion [2]

surikireta te wo hiraite
uzuku kizu wo hikisaitemo
kanjita itami sono toki [3]
sou madowasarenai machigattari shinai
kajinda te wo tsunaide
ima wa kizu no nameai demo
dokoka ni hisomu It's Turning Point
mienai teki waraitobasu toki made
illusion Never can get away...
Open your worn-bare hands
And split open its festering wounds
And when you feel the pain [3]
Yes, you won't be misled, you won't make a mistake!
Give me your numbed hand
And, right now, we'll lick each other's wounds,
But hidden somewhere, it's Turning Point
Until we laught off our invisible enemies
Illusion, never can get away...
