I:
The swaying of the grass caused by the cool breeze
The sound of flowing water from the river bank
Explosions in the sky, it brightened up that night
The faceless crowd, I can feel their happiness
Dried leaves on the ground blown by gentle winds
Running children, it all made me smile
The chirping of the birds, the singing by the band
Yet my feet start to run, seeking something that is not there
Pre-chorus:
And even if I am lost in such a wonderful sight
I just can't seem to enjoy it
So I feigned ignorance to the fact that I am alone
Chorus:
To the one that I used to dream for whenever I am alone
Under this sky painted orange and red
The illusion of someone placing flowers on my head
This ephemeral happiness gone and replaced by grief
And all these tears for something that I can only wish
II:
The beautiful colors filling my sight
It is highlighting the fact that here alone I stand
And I can't escape the throes of loneliness
All my wishes have vanished to the red sunset
Pre-chorus:
But even if I am lost in such a wonderful scenery
There is no point in enjoying it
When I have nobody beside me I can share it with
Chorus:
I gave my beloved phantom this heartfelt thanks
Under this sky glowing orange and red
A temporary warmth replaced the echoing ache
As the midnight stars shone without its usual glint
These burning tears, is this what pain really is?
Bridge:
And as I kept walking through this lonely road
The search continues still, as if there is no definite ending
Chorus:
To the one that I used to dream for whenever I am alone
Under the sunset of velvety red
Just like cherry blossom leaves flying with the wind,
As time continue flowing, the pain ebbs away
The more I experience, I learn more of my wish
