Artist: Every Little Thing
Title: Life Cycle
Words: Mochida Kaori
Music: HIKARI

Each morning I wake up open my eyes
Each night I sleep I do the same again

everyday in disorder
it makes my head spin
my sigh as I start collapsing
a dream like a dream, * 1
slip n slides away
this isn't easy at all.

aha~
the gigantic wall looming large before me
I can't let these bloodshot eyes go to waste

I have to control
this daily grind
because this is my one and only life.
I dream of a great deal of fun
a night I'm so excited I can't sleep.
Each morning I wake up open my eyes
Each night I sleep I do the same again
foolish people make foolish faces
and walk on with long strides.
stories that seem like lies, a reality that's anything but
what the hell is going on!! Earth!

Aha~
I don't need inverted love
I'll out run the bullying wind, I'll overtake it

I have to control
this daily grind
because this is my one and only life.
I dream of a great deal of fun
a night I'm so excited I can't sleep.
the loving message from you
straddles this blue blue planet to get to me
it's no big deal
Because I'm gonna make it through another day.

Each morning I wake up open my eyes
Each night I sleep I do the same again
Tell me I won't do the same again

I have to control
this daily grind
because this is my one and only life.
I dream of a great deal of fun

Translator's Notes: *!

*1 - Even though the word for "dream" is the same yume, the meaning is slightly different. One is the kind of "dream" you aspire to the other is the one you have while sleeping that's like a fantasy. So the lyrics are implying that your "aspiration" is like a "fantasy".
