Lyrics Translation : (from ARK board)

NEXUS 4 :
A traffic jam moving aimlessly
A caotic city, acid rain drizzling
There is no vacant seat for tomorrow
We might get lost dreaming electric sheep

Without knowing when the Time we yearn for will come, our smoldering feelings
We can’t just wait in silence

If we raise our eyes a jet is flashing past cutting the night sky Our guide
Our rusted wings haven’t yet fallen away And our souls howl with more passion than theirs
So, let’s wake up to the NEXT AGE

Traps countlessly spreading, make 1 mistake and you are dismissed DELETE
The future moves toward a virtual space In the end the only certainties are these hearts

We keep staring at the flames burning away, our chance’s blown
We can’t just wait in silence

If we raise our eyes a jet is flashing past cutting the night sky Our guide
We are still believing and so we run, for surely we are still in time
Leap up the speed, we will never run away
So, let’s jump upon the NEXT AGE

Look back at what has been thrown away
Freedom from 0 has been captured by the strongest MONSTER

The thunderous surging roar is covering the countdown start
Go with your beat SAY 321GO!
If you raise your eyes a jet is flashing past high above We begin our journey
So, let’s jump onto SPACE AGE YOU VIRTUAL GENERATION!

SHINE :
I want to shine on you.
and always like that dazzling sun.
I will defend you from all the darkness.
this is the truth from my heart.

I wish our hearts would be connected so that you will trust me
But it can’t be helped, up till you’ll wake…you can even hate me

You can’t see it now, but don’t lose it
That tenderness isn’t useless

Riding the wind and floating toward a place that is not this one
Crossing the seas, crossing Time It will certainly bloom

Even if you feel sad by what you saw around you, it is not the truth

That is something you will build slowly
in the secret of your heart

So that this heart won’t yield before anybody
A unique light that won’t fade away like magic

I will stay with you until the season will come
So, let’s hit the world

Riding the wind and floating toward a place that is not this one
Crossing the seas, crossing Time It will certainly bloom

In any momoment of life,
Like the sun I wish I will always be able to watch over you

I want to shine on you.
and always like that dazzling sun.
I will defend you from all the darkness.
this is the truth from my heart.
