Lyrics
Romaji=

No place (to) escape Kotae wa hitotsu da hatenaki katsubou

Kou ka fukou ka omae ga kimeru yo kawareru Your strength Ima misetsukero

No place (to) escape Kotae wa hitotsu da hatenaki katsubou

Kanji = Unnecessary　ノイス　蔓延る この地はWasteland 誰もが街ち焦がれた 道なき道のWars

(Get down!) 可能性とは　不可思議な解　誰にも （凡才はしょうがないって　尊大な自己否定） Shout it out！外野の言い分　イーブン？随分偉そうね （決定機見逃す　Looking from above）

奪って壊した　兵が夢の跡に （不意に昂ぶるは鼓動　そして馬鹿を見る孤独） 誰の為の栄光？ （Only know　飽くなき熱狂FAN）

替え！No place（to）escape 答えは一つだ 　声なき呻き 果てなき渇望 脳内だけ響くファンファーレ 誰も（烏合の衆Kick about!） 知らない（苦悩の末 We come back） 独りよがりのFighters（Cry out!） 仕組まれたCrazy Game（Never give up hope） 舞い踊れよ　Trickster

（千客万来NOW） 誰も彼も　夢見がちで気づかない （純粋が故の強者　或いは金の亡者） You know me？鵜呑みなRaven HeavenのSlaveかご苦労 （絶頂期はいつだい　どうAre you satisfied？）

願って敗れて　夏草のような Chain of Dream （決して逃れられぬBind　故に汚れ知らぬMind） いっそ断ち切れよ　美辞麗句なFarce （チャチな常識さえBounce　踊れ予測不能Dance） 成れの果ての迷走？

Unnecessary　ノイズ　蔓延る この地はWasteland 誰もが答えを知らない 夢なき夢の跡 （Only you　未知なる道へDive）

謳え！ 幸か不幸か　お前が決めろよ 変わらぬReal　変われるYour strength 先代だって泡吹くような 戦い（戦場ではDead or Alive） 今見せつけろ

誓え！ No place（to）escape 答えは一つだ　声なき呻き　果てなき渇望 脳内だけ響くファンファーレ 敵は（未完成な歓声Shit!） 己（討ち取るべき 強敵） 孤独さえもFantastic（Magic） 終わりなきEmpty war（Never ending war） 仮初めの舞台で（Aim at the top） 舞い踊れよ　Trickster English =

Trivia

 * Before Friction's release, the translation for this song's name could either be "After the Dream" or "Remains of a Dream", which wasn't possible to know with the name being in katakana. However, in the lyrics the song's name is written as 夢の跡, which can be translated to the second option.
 * Even though the AAside event was Tadaomi focused, the MV had penlights with the colors of both Tadaomi and Reiji, making it a focus song for both of them, just like the single jacket indicates.
