Lyrics (Romaji):koko ni ikiru sono wake mo
kono basho de deau subete mo
tatoe chigau sekai demo
doko ni ite mo kono omoi wa yuruganai
mune o CHIKURI to sasu itami
sore o warau shiawase na monotachi e
se o mukeyuku
touzen no kurushimi wo unmei ga sasou
furuedasu ashi ga oboeteru kakushin ni
yume dake ja mamorenai
tayoranai chikara
ima kono te de shiru kara mayowanai
daremo ga shiru yorokobi to
kono mune ga satoru kotae ga
tatoe chigau mirai demo
doko e yuku mo kono omoi wa yuruganai
nani mo motazu ni susunde yuku
karada juu ni matou KARAKUTA ni madowasarenu you ni
hyaku sen no hitsujou mo guuzen ga masaru
hate wo miru hitomi o korashite tobikoeru
taiman na negai nado ikutsu mo iranai
kono honshin wa kaesu sezoku made
touzen no kurushimi o unmei ga sasou
furuedasu ashi ga oboeteru kakushin ni
tengoku ka jigoku ka wa soko ni muka e
saa ima subete o shiru kara
ima kono te ga shiru kara mayowanai

Lyrics (English):
Whether it’s that reason that I live here
Or everything that I encounter here,
Even if it were a different world,
No matter where I am, these feelings won’t waver.
A pain pricks my chest
I turn my back on the bystanders laughing at that
And go on
Fate invites the necessary suffering.
My feet, starting to tremble, remember...confidence
Illusions alone cannot protect -
An unreliable power.
Because my hands know it now, I'm not lost
The joy that everyone knows
And the answer that my chest senses
Even if there is a different future,
No matter where I go, these feelings won’t waver.
Without carrying anything, I continue on
So that I won't be confused by the knowledge that clads my body
Chance surpasses hundreds, thousands of certainties.
I concentrate my eyes looking at the end...and jump over it
I don't need a ton of careless wishes and such
My own true heart will restore itself to the everyday world
Fate invites the obvious suffering.
My feet, starting to tremble, remember...confidence
In that direction, is there heaven? or hell?
C'mon, because I know everything now
Because my hands know it now, I'm not lost
Lyrics (Kanji):
ここに生きるその訳も
この場所で出会う全ても
例え違う世界でも
どこに居てもこの思いは揺るがない
胸をチクリと刺す痛み
それを嘲笑う傍観者達へ
背を向け行く
当然の苦しみを運命が誘う
震えだす足が覚えてる．．．確信に
幻想だけじゃ守れない
頼らない力
今この手が知るから迷わない
誰もが知る喜びと
この胸が悟る答えが
例え違う未来でも
どこへ行くもこの思いは揺るがない
何も持たずに進んでいく
体中に纏う知識に惑わされぬように
百、千の必定も偶然が勝る
果てを見る瞳を凝らして・・・飛び越える
怠慢な願いなど幾つもいらない
個の本心は返す 世俗まで
当然の苦しみを運命が誘う
震えだす足が覚えてる．．．確信に
天国か？地獄か？はそこに向かへ
さあ今全てを知るから
今この手が知るから迷わない
So many new OPs and EDs Singles have been released at the end of Frebruary. Which means, a lot of songs waiting to be reviewed (I have been too lazy these past weeks)... This song is one of them! It's the To Aru Majutsu no Index ED2 theme song by IKU, who already did the first ending.
