kimi no kokoro no kizu wa
The wounds in your heart
ima mo mada ienai mama
Still haven't healed, even now?
masaka no wakare kara
Ever since that goodbye you never saw coming
doko ka kimi wa okubyou ni natta ne
You've become a little timid somehow
kodokuna yoru kara nigete
Even if you run from lonely nights
tokai ni magiretemitemo
And try to lose yourself in the city
hitori ga sabishii wake janakute
"It's not being alone that's lonely
hitori to omou koto ga sabishii
It's thinking you're alone that's lonely"
demo kimi ga egaiteru hibi wa
But the days you're painting
sekai ni 1 tsu no monogatari
Are a story like no other in the world
karenai kanashimi wa itsuka
Sadness that never fades will someday
nigenai tsuyosa ni kawaru yo
Turn into the strength to stop running away
kimi dake no monogatari o sagashite
Searching for a story that's yours alone
tabidatou chizu ni nai basho e
Let's set out for a place that's not on any map
yokeina mono ga aru no nara
If there's anything you don't need
subete kyou ni oiteikou
Let's leave it all behind today
nanigenai kyou ga monogatari no
This ordinary day will become
omoide no peeji ni naru
A page of memories in the story
tsumazuku koto o osorete wa
If you're afraid of stumbling
ookina kabe ni kizukenai
You won't notice the big wall ahead
gareki ni saku hana no you ni
Like a flower blooming in the rubble
taiyou dake o miageyou
Let's look up only at the sun
kasumi ga torenai mirai wa
The future that won't come out of the haze
ima wa namida de mienai dake
It's just that you can't see it through your tears now
kesenai kako ni shibararete
Bound by a past you can't erase
utsumuki hiza o kakaeteta
You hung your head and hugged your knees
kinou made no ryoute hirogete
Spread out the arms you held until yesterday
kyou kara wa namida o fuite
And from today on, wipe away your tears
hatenai tabiji no doko ka de
Somewhere on this endless journey
toki ni wa ame ni utaretemo
Even if the rain beats down on you sometimes
tsugi ni otozureru keshiki wa
The next view you'll come to
kyou to chigau mirai da kara
Is a future different from today
karenai kanashimi wa itsuka
Sadness that never fades will someday
nigenai tsuyosa ni kawaru yo
Turn into the strength to stop running away
kimi dake no monogatari o sagashite
Searching for a story that's yours alone
tabidatou chizu ni nai basho e
Let's set out for a place that's not on any map
yokeina mono ga aru no nara
If there's anything you don't need
subete kyou ni oiteikou
Let's leave it all behind today
kiraina ame sae agareba
As soon as the rain you hate lets up
sugu ni arukidaseru kara
You'll be able to start walking right away

瓦礫 — rubble / debris

瓦礫 means “rubble” or “debris,” usually referring to the remains of something broken or destroyed. It is a vivid and less common word that creates a striking image in the lyric 「瓦礫に咲く花」, meaning “a flower blooming among the rubble.”

The phrase symbolizes finding hope and strength even in difficult circumstances, making this word both memorable and central to the song’s message.

Janne Da Arc sing to someone still hurting after a breakup they never saw coming ("「まさか」の別れから" [since that "no way" goodbye]). They have grown timid, run from lonely nights and tried to lose themselves in the city. The song's sharpest line pins down what the loneliness really is: "一人が淋しいわけじゃなくて / 一人と思う事が淋しい" [it isn't being alone that's lonely / it's thinking you're alone].

From there the singer turns the hurt into a reason to move. Their days are "世界に1つの物語" [a story unlike any other in the world], and grief that won't fade will one day become "逃げない強さ" [the strength not to run]. The chorus is the invitation in the title: "旅立とう 地図にない場所へ" [let's set out for a place that isn't on any map]. Leave the extra baggage behind today, look up at the sun like "瓦礫に咲く花" [a flower blooming in rubble], and trust that once the rain you hate has stopped, you can start walking again.
