Note: Icarus is a figure from Greek Mythology that attempted to escape from Crete with his father, Daedalus, who constructed wings for them with feathers which were held together with wax. Although Daedalus cautioned his son not to fly too close to the sun, as it would melt the wax (and thus his wings), Icarus was overtaken by the thrill of flying. Soon he had risen up too close to the sun his wings melted and he fell to his death in the sea.

IKAROSU
Icarus

Mayonaka no kouen de koe wo karashi
Ookina ketsudan wo shita tsumori ga
Asa ni nattara mata wasureterushi
CURTAIN no sukima ni sobieru yokubou
Mata yuuyami ga boku wo ooitsukusu

Tonde misero mou soko niwa nan mo nai
Yatte misero umai hanashi nante nai
Kudasaina boku ni ICARUS no yuuki wo
Ashita ga kuru mae ni

Itsudemo kimi wa mayoi wo misezu ni
Nakeru hodo yasashiku boku no te wo totte
Fukaku heiwa na nemuri ni sasou yo
Kokoro de kurikaesu mugon no tousou
Ima kono inochi ni hi wo tsukete miru

Tonde misero dare no tame toka jyanai
Yatte misero mukuwarenakutemo ii
Orenai hane to ICARUS no yuuki de
Taiyou wo sagasou

Tonde misero mou soko niwa nan mo nai
Yatte misero mou osoi nante dare nimo iwasenai
Tonde misero mirai wa mada soko ni
Ai wo misero umerareta mama no ai wo
Kudasaina boku ni ICARUS no yuuki wo
Soshite kono sora wo
Massugu kakete yukou

TRANSLATION

Wearing my voice out at a park in the middle of the night
I was thinking that I had made some big decision
But when morning came I had forgotten what it was again
The desires that tower beyond the space inbetween the curtains
Once again twilight envelopes me completely

Show 'em and fly, there isn't anything there anymore
Show 'em and do it, there's no such thing as a sweet deal
So please give me Icarus's courage
Before tomorrow comes

You always don't show your hesitation
And you take my hand so gently I could cry
I'll invite you to a deep, tranquil sleep
The silent struggle that's always going on in my heart
Right now I'll try setting my very being on fire

Show 'em and fly, it's not that I'm doing it for anybody or anything
Show 'em and do it, I don't care if I'm not rewarded
With invincible wings and Icarus's courage
Let's find the sun

Show 'em and fly, there isn't anything there anymore
Show 'em and do it, I won't let anybody tell me it's too late anymore
Show 'em and fly, the future is still right there
Show your love, the love that still remains buried
So please give me Icarus's courage
And then I'll fly straight across
This sky
