Change the World

駆け抜ける = 駆ける ('to gallop/run hard') + 抜ける ('to pass through'). Used for any urgent, wind-cutting motion — runners, horses, time itself.

Anything without-fearing, now courage and smile's shard holding

カケラ ('shard') is a fitting word for Inuyasha — the show is built around collecting shards of the Shikon jewel. The lyric reads as both metaphor (fragments of courage) and a wink at the source material.

Second English hook — paired with 'change the world'

We (topic) same world (path) swim-keep

Each-other's wishes to reach day until

Everyone same anxiety carrying

抱える ('to hold/carry in one's arms') vs. 抱く ('to embrace'): 抱える implies a burden — worries, problems, debt. 不安を抱える = 'to carry anxiety'.

Verb stem + 合う ('do mutually') + 〜える (potential) gives 〜あえる ('be able to do mutually'). Standard recipe: 助け合える (can help each other), 分かり合える (can understand each other).

Loneliness into won't-let-make

孤独にさせる = 'cause (someone) to be lonely'. Negating it as 〜させない is the standard 'I won't let X happen to you' phrasing — both protective and a touch dramatic.

Gale (path) racing-through

疾風 ('swift wind') is a more literary, intense word than 風 — typical of lyrics and martial-arts descriptions. The final chorus swaps 風 for 疾風 to up the urgency.

Grey sky's beyond, something left-having-come

彼方 (かなた) is literary 'the beyond / the far yonder', heavier than 向こう ('over there'). Pairs naturally with 空 ('sky') for a sense of distant longing.

You (topic) hesitating-while, search-keep

捜す uses 捜 (search for something lost or missing), distinct from 探す (search for something you want). The lyric uses the former — implying the 'something' was once held.

Your heart was-trembling, tomorrow's can't-see night

Anything unable-to-believe, ears (object) cover

You-to could-meet when, real place-to-belong found

突き抜ける ('to pierce through') + 〜ていく ('go on doing') gives 突き抜けていこう = 'let's go break right through'. The volitional 〜こう invites collective action.
