"the world never teaches us how to dream, but it always promotes competition. I'd like many of those who are tired from the competition to listen to this song. I'd like those tired souls to find rest through 'paradise' "

Marathon, marathon

"Life’s long so take it slow
42.195
The end is filled with a paradise of dreams"

But the real world is different from what’s promised
We need to run, we need to step on it

When you shoot a flare
You don’t have a destination
There’s no sceneries at all
Until your breath comes up to your chin
You need to...

We borrow dreams from others (Like a debt)
We learn that we need to become great (Like a light)

Your dream is actually a burden
If having a future is a dream
Then what is the dream you had last night in your bed?

It’s alright if the name of the dream is different
Be it buying a laptop next month
Or just eating and sleeping
Not doing anything at all and still having a lot of money

Who says a dream must be something grand
Just become anybody
We deserve a life

Whatever big or small, you are you after all

 ...

I don’t have a dream
To have a dream, is sometimes scary

To just live like this
To survive like this is a small dream to me
To have a dream, to grasp a dream
To breathe, is sometimes too much to handle

This person’s living like this, that person’s living like that'
The world tells me as it bashes me

The world doesn’t have the right to bash you
What is the way to dream a dream?
We were never taught about that

This is a made up dream, a tearful sleeptalk
Wake up from the nightmare
Let’s try to smile for ourselves, in that paradise

It’s alright to stop
You don’t have to run without knowing the destination

It’s alright to not have a dream
All the breaths you breathe are already in paradise

Stop runnin’ for nothing my friend
Now stop this foolish race

Stop runnin’ for nothing my friend
All the breaths you breathe are already in paradise

Stop runnin’ for nothing my friend
You don’t need something like a dream that everyone dreams

Stop runnin’ for nothing my friend
Every language that makes you, is already in paradise
