Make My Way

Trowa's third image song is track four from the New Mobile Suit Report Gundam W: BLIND TARGET_1 and is titled "Make My Way". It is a very peculiar song, as it has a very upbeat tempo. While the lyrics are not exactly gloomy, they do not cry out happiness either. They are around the middle at a place of tentative hope.

夜になれば輝ける星屑
一つずつが違う歴史持つ
なんて退屈で無関係の哲学に
昨日は通り過ぎる

人の優しさや
帰る場所を求めれば
弱さの言い訳だと
笑えばいい

so hide away

無表情の仮面の下に眠る
心を全てさらけ出して

so make my way

迷いながら傷つきながら進む
道は明日へ続く

誰も幾千の哀しみを抱き
一人ずつが違う涙で泣く
なんて身勝手な免罪符をひるがえす
時代は終わって行く

生きて行くために
強くなりたいならば
弱さも古い傷も
自分を知れ

so hide away

隠したまま忘れかけてた心
この腕の中目覚めて行く

so make my way

迷いながら振り向きながら今は
新たな出会いを待つ

make my way

Each stardust that shines at night has a different history
What a boring and irrelevant philosophy
Yesterday, if I sought the kindness of people passing by and a place to return to
As an excuse for weakness, so just laugh

so hide away

Sleep under the expressionless mask
Expose your whole heart

so make my way

While hesitating and getting hurt, the path forward continues to tomorrow

Everyone embraces thousands of sorrows, each one crying with different tears
The era of flipping over selfish indulgences is coming to an end
If you want to be strong to survive
Know your weaknesses and old wounds

so hide away

A hidden heart that was about to be forgotten
In these arms, I wake up and go

so make my way

While hesitating and turning around,
I now wait for new encounters
