I think "I won't lose my way anymore" is a good translation, if "waver" sounds too literally. Let me use it please. About the difference of "mayou" and " tamerau", oji-i-san explained quite well. "Mayou" has broader meaning than "tamerau". And I think "hesitate" doesn't fit well in this song. But in the song of "Don't look back", "mayou" is used just as "tamerau". So I didn't hesitate to use the word "hesitate".

And I changed the related part to "The meaning and the significance of my existence".

yes, oji-i-san hit the nail on the head with that one

i'm still unsure about [never come into my sight], which is a direct translation from the japanese, but one would not say this in natural english. i feel a passive reversal i.e "i never want to see you again" fits better, as it still implies that she wishes the Microphone never to enter her gaze, yet sounds more fluent in this case...
