Iris Light (English version)

If I could create just a second that made you say “I’m happy”
That’d be enough for me to become myself
If your crying face could turn into a smiling face
That’s certainly enough for me as the meaning of my life

The neon falling from the sky is so cold
I let my chest shiver to protect myself from it
Someone’s faded dream in the rubbish bin
I’m in a crowd yet no one’s here

A grey pedestrian street stained by footprints
All I can hear is two heartbeats
One is yours, one is mine
Let’s have them beat in sync a bit longer

No matter what camera you use
You can’t focus all the way down to the depths of the heart
I won’t ask what you don’t talk about
I just won’t let your hand go until your tears dry out

If I could create just a second that made you say “I’m happy”
That’d be enough for me to become myself
If your crying face could turn into a smiling face
That’s certainly enough for me

Someone’s righteousness giving the final blow to tears born out of sorrow
If there should be only one way to protect you, I’m sure that would be kindness
Ah, that person you hate
Maybe is just yielding a knife while crying
To protect the future of their loved ones
And they might be suffering too

Is it right or wrong to fight?
Everyone blamed someone else
White, black, yellow, the red of the blood spilling
Only the blue to mix them all up is still missing
I can’t see all the way to the other side of the world
But please at least you stay where you are

If I could create just a second that made you say “I’m happy”
That’d be enough for me to become myself
If your crying face could turn into a smiling face
That’s certainly enough for me as the meaning of my life
