But it's time to go

I coundn't see anything
After that, I saw everything
The road ahead is too narrow
And I have no choice but to walk alone

When the pain becomes
Far beyond the reach of imagination

There is no more energy left
To be able to cry or shout
A human is entirely
Caught in nothingness, isn't he?

What had been two
Became one, and became two
It's no more than that
We've just come full circle, haven't we?

I couldn't see anything
After that, I saw everything
The road ahead is too narrow
And I can no more walk on, side by side with you

The lyrics are so tragic yet motivational in a way and they confuse me. Maybe that is because of the difficult Japanese to English translation, but they do not make sense to me.

In my opinion, Japanese lyrics are a lot more understandable if you know the language. No offense to the translators, they do a great service for the Ayu fan community, but I prefer to read and interpret Ayu's lyrics as they are. That could be what is leading to some confusion for you. But the translation for BRILLANTE seems a little straight forward.
