ENGLISH
Arrows
Playing make-believe that I am on a very long journey
Above the graffiti map
A lost child met a lost child
In front of the incombustable trash warehouse
Carrying a bag stuffed with
Nothing but hated memories
"I'll never get anywhere, so bury me"
I laughed
Of course we looked alive
'Cause it was that sort of place
I ask where you came from
But immediately feel ridiculous
Just what would I do if you told me
The details of why you came here?
I've gone everywhere I want to go
Beneath these tear-heavy clouds
I haven't lost anything
Yet I have this empty feeling
But still
I've gotta tell you
That it'll be OK
But I'm not OK
And I can't even move
Ahh
What you found was genuine
It's true that we met each other
If you're gonna throw it away I might as well take it
Give it here
Oh, I see
As long as I have this
I won't go hungry for a while
Let's get out of this place together
Playing make-believe that I made many friends on my journey
Underneath the pouring rain
A lost child met a lost child
And they exchanged rucksacks
Go everywhere you want to go
And when you've had enough
Then take a ride on those clouds
So close
Yet so far away
Just one
We know that we are both
Deceiving each other
No matter what the other is burdened with
It's not your business
No matter how much
You treasure it, it's a fake
But it's still true that it's precious to you
I don't need you to
Entrust anything to me
Even though I'm lost
'Cause as long as I have you
I'm sure that I can be me
Let's get out of this place together
Playing make-believe that I am on a very long journey
Beneath the clouds, no longer crying
We've separated, but when I look back
You're in front of the incombustable trash warehouse
I'm surprised that you've come back
And we exchange rucksacks once more
You bag has become stuffed full
Of nothing but wonderful memories
This time I've gotta
Say it for real
I've gotta say it
Even though I can't say goodbye
It's OK
What you found was genuine
It's true that we met each other
You can't throw it away, so let's take it with us
Along with the time you were lost
The person you met is alive
And you, also living, laughed
You walked with me who was lost
They're not fakes, they're baggage
As long as we have this
I'm sure that I can be me
Let's get out of this place together
If a tear meets a tear
On the song of the bridging arrow
After you've gone everywhere you want to go
If we meet again
Neither of us carrying any bags
Let's cross that arrow
Then take a ride on those clouds
So close
Yet so far away

Arrows
大長編の探検ごっこ
落書き地図の上
迷子は迷子と出会った
不燃物置き場の前
嫌いな思い出ばっかり詰めた
荷物を抱えて
ずっと動けない自分ごと埋めて
と笑った
似てて当たり前
そういう場所だから
どこから来たのと尋ね合い
すぐに馬鹿馬鹿しくなる
ここに来るまでの経緯なんて
教えてどうする
行きたい場所は全部廻った
泣きそうな雲の下
なんにも無くしてないのに
空っぽの気がした
それでも
大丈夫だって
言ってあげなくちゃ
大丈夫じゃない自分も
動けないしな
あぁもう
見つけたものは本物だよ
出会った事は本当だよ
捨てるくらいなら持つからさ
貸してよ
なるほど
これだけあれば
当分お腹減らないな
一緒にここから離れよう
友達増えた探検ごっこ
降りだした雨の下
迷子は迷子と出会って
リュックサックのとりかえっこ
行きたい場所は全部廻って
いい加減に飽きたら
あんなに近い
ずっと遠い
あの雲にのぼろう
ひとつだけ
誤魔化したままだ
お互い気付いてる
何を背負っても
自分のものじゃないなら
どれだけ
大事にしても偽者だよ
でも大事な事は本当だよ
預けたものなら要らないさ
迷子のままでも
君さえいれば
きっと僕でいられるさ
一緒にここから離れよう
大長編の探検ごっこ
泣き止んだ雲の下
離れたのに振り返ると
不燃物置き場の前
もう一度やって驚いた
リュックサックのとりかえっこ
素敵な思い出ばっかり詰めた
荷物になってた
今こそちゃんと
言ってあげなくちゃ
さよなら言えない自分に
言わなくちゃ
大丈夫
見つけたものは本物だよ
出会った事は本当だよ
捨てられないから持ってくよ
迷子だった時も
出会った人は生き物だよ
生きてた君は笑ってたよ
迷ってた僕と歩いたよ
偽物じゃない荷物だよ
これだけあれば
きっと僕でいられるさ
一緒にここから離れよう
涙と涙が出会ったら
架かる弓の唄
行きたい場所は全部廻った後で
また会えたら
荷物の無い体ふたつで
その弓を渡ろう
あんなに近い
ずっと遠い
あの雲にのぼろう

OPINION
This is one of BUMP's most lyrical and pretty songs. The way it shifts and concludes is so great. The main character thinks that he has experienced all the good things the world has to offer, but the kid he meets shows him that there are a lot more wonderful experiences to be had. While these characters in the story are kids, they actually probably symbolize adults. The theme of not wanting to grow up and be an adult shows up in a lot of BUMP songs. Fujiwara is sending a message to adults not to forget to see the world like a kid playing an imaginary game… That someone can still show you a bridge that will take you into the clouds. Also as a note the original title is only in English, and the "tear" mentioned is the crying kind, not the rip-in-paper kind.
