Artist: L'Arc~en~Ciel
Title: Neo Universe
Words: Hyde
Music: Ken

the scales have started to tip upwards
I'm going to build up one side
so the other reaches higher than heaven.

even for these kind of innocent angels which can't fly,
morning will come to them gloriously.

Don't let go of that hand,
feel the world awaken.

even though it seems ready to shatter, it stays clear
you waited yesterday without sleep.

miracles you'd seen in dreams aren't coming but
the distant sky will lead you to them.

you are gentle like the wind
like a bird flying freely in this world
without fear neo universe

even if it ends in tragedy
I'm glad I met you.

the bind I've gotten into, I entrust it to you
I want to believe forevermore.

laugh like a pretty flower
shine like a star
flying over this world
without fear neo universe

it's the time of rebirth!
it's the most painful time !
let's be tied as one like the sky,
neo universe.

Translator's Notes: Its fairly unclear what Hyde is singing about in the line "it seems ready to shatter..." A girl, the world... spirit... ? We use "it" for lack of anything else. Its probably more like "you". We were unsure. The line "seawase no zetsubou" is most likely interchangeable with a phrase in Japanese meaning between a rock and a hard place or the more fitting "in a bind". Rather than say season for "kisetsu" we used time, which sounds much better. Either way works though.
