HIBANA CHIRU

''Sparks Fly (火花散ル) is a song by GYROAXIA and the ending of Argonavis the Movie: Ryuusei no Obligato.

It was previewed on September 3, 2021 as the ending for the movie and one of the main tracks for the Kitto Bokura wa/HIBANA CHIRU single, which was released in November 17, 2021.

Its full version was shown at the paid live GYROAXIA Live 2021 -HIBANA CHIRU-, and to celebrate the live it was released early as a digital single the next day.

An animated MV was announced on November 16 of the same year and released the next day.

Its author commented that he "Channelled the darkness and irritation through rock's aggressiveness and darkness in his own style. He also hoped that he connected GYROAXIA's past and future and the feelings of their fans with this song."

It was written, composed and arranged by Wataru Ujihara (DOES) -who also played the guitar and was also in charge of all the other instruments and programming-, the bass was played by Yasushi Akatsuka (DOES) and Keisaku Morita (DOES) the drums.

Lyrics
Romaji=

Kanji = 午前3時　横たわるソファ うす暗い部屋に独り　睨んだ天井

尖る爪　剥き出した牙 メランコリックな瞳の奥の嘘

遠ざかるAnswer 月明かりの中に手を伸ばしても 掴めない愛があるというのなら もうなにも要らない

ほとばしる熱い血潮だけで 今まで走り続けてきた 繋がる過去と未来の狭間で 火花散ル

夢にまで見た　あなたは So far しがらみに拘束されすぎた堕天使 紡ぐ歌は闇のソナタ 人知れず流し乾いたナミダ

この胸に I swear 決して振り返らないと決めていた 運命などに汚されたりしねえ 光はどこだ？

せまり来る激烈な刺激で 昂る心が砕けそうになるほど この声はさらに強くなる

僕らが互いの存在を認めて 高めあうことができるのならそこには 想うよりも綺麗な 火花散ル

遠ざかるAnswer 月明かりの中に手を伸ばしても 掴めない愛があるというのなら もうなにも要らない

ほとばしる熱い血潮だけで 今まで走り続けてきた 繋がる過去と未来の狭間で 歌ウ

せまり来る激烈な刺激で 昂る心が砕けそうになるほど この声はさらに強くなる

僕らが互いの存在を認めて 高めあうことができるのならそこには 想うよりも綺麗な 火花散ル English = Lying on the sofa at 3am Staring at the ceiling all by myself in a dim room Sharp claws, bare fangs A Lie hidden in the depth of melancholic eyes

A fading Answer If there’s a love that can’t be grasped even if you reach out in the moonlight Then I don’t need anything anymore

Just with my overflowing hot blood I kept going on In the space between my past and my future that are tied together Sparks are flying

You, who I’ve even dreamed about, are So Far Fallen angels constraint by their fetters The song we’re assembling is a dark sonata Tears flow and dry with no one knowing

I Swear to my chest I decided that I will never look back I won’t let fate ruin it Where is the light?

This growing intense provocation Fires me up so much that my heart is about to break This voice will keep growing stronger

If we could enhance one another And recognize each other’s existence then Sparks even more beautiful than I ever imagined Would fly

A fading Answer If there’s a love that can’t be grasped even if you reach out in the moonlight Then I don’t need anything anymore

Just with my overflowing hot blood I kept going on In the space between my past and my future that are tied together I’m singing

This growing intense provocation Fires me up so much that my heart is about to break This voice will keep growing stronger

If we could enhance one another And recognize each other’s existence then Sparks even more beautiful than I ever imagined Would fly
