Lyrics for Velonica from Bleach by Aqua Timez (Opening #9)
zasetsu mamire ryuukou ni magire shiawase na furi o shite utau
motto hashire to iikikashite mubou ni mo sotto kazakami e
kita michi o ichibetsu yutori wa gomen shimensoka sansen ni tsugu one game
yama ari tani ari gake ari chiri wa tsumotteku
hateshinai tabi no tochuu de machi no hazure ni tachiyoru
tsukareta ryouashi o sotto nagedashite nekorobu to kurikaesareru asai nemuri
nando mo onaji ano yokogao nando mo onaji ano kotoba o
ikiteru dake de kanashii to omou no wa watashi dake na no to

TABAKO no kemuri ga chuu o uneri utsuro ni kieru

kitto mada chikara naki osanai hi ni
minakute ii kanashimi o mitekita kimi wa ima

kono sora ni tori no shiroi habataki o boku ga sagasu aida kitto
kimi wa daichi ni mimi o sumashi ari no kuroi ashioto o sagashitandarou na

PIERO no you na kamen o haide taiyou ni wasurerareta oka ni tachi

ikite aisaretai to naita hitori no akago
koko de wa nai doko ka o mezasu riyuu to wa
kokoro de wa nai doko ka ni kotae wa nai to shiru tame

Smeared with setbacks, lost in fads
I pretend to be happy as I sing
“Run further” I’m urging myself, thoughtlessly, but softly to where the wind is blowing
I glance back at the road which I came from and feel sorry that I have time to spare
Surrounded on all sides
What comes after a war is one game
“There are mountains, valleys, cliffs”
Dust is piling up
In the middle of my endless journey, I stop by at the edge of a town
I throw down my tired legs softly
If I lie down, I’ll end up repeating my shallow sleep
I’ll see that same profile over and over, hear those same words over and over…
“Am I the only one who thinks just living is sad?”

Tobacco smoke floats in the air and disappears into emptiness

On a day where we’re surely still powerless and young
You witness sadness that you didn’t have to see
Now you’re spending your time holding in tears that don’t have to be held in
We’re not strong enough to keep living on just completely truthful things
We don’t have to be strong
Okay?

My lifted-up eyelids see the world in spring
I push through the cherry blossom-coloured wind
On the way to the destination of the far away other side, I wonder if you were in this rapeseed field
I search for the white flapping of a bird in this sky
Surely you’ll be listening carefully to the ground and searching for the black ant’s footsteps at the same time, right?

Tearing off a disguise like a clown’s, standing on a forgotten hill, in the sun

Basking in the light of the moon, taking a deep breath
In a world where there’s no yelling voice or sound of the plates breaking
Without sharing warmth, we can keep living
However, just living is not enough for us

The budding ground, the thick trees, the disappearing rainbow, the passing days,
The night sky’s Spica, the four season’s mystery, they taught us who continue searching for the truth

No matter how far we travel, at the start of life
We were lonely babies who cried out to want to live and be loved
Our reason for aiming for somewhere that isn’t here
Is because we have to in order to know that there is no answer anywhere other than in the heart
