Background
This is the third song in the Doomsday Series.
One of Luka's first big hits, it expresses the feelings and thoughts of someone near his/her (presumably her, due to the PV image) end. There isn't a plot defined and it's open to interpretation. The singer never is specified, although the PV shows the illustration of a dilapidated feminine robot with salmon-colored hair and the chest open exposing her heart, surrounded by flowery scenery.
The singer expresses various thoughts, such as the wanderlust of mankind, existence of God, and how her wish would be to deliver her message and song to the person that she loves, or that she wouldn't mind disappearing as long she can be with that person. The song finishes with the singer repeating the chorus "LET'S SING AN ENDLESS SONG, BEFORE I END..." (オワラナイ ウタヲ ウタオウ 僕ガ 終ワッテ シマウ マエニ). As the singer repeats the chorus, the PV begins to distort and show noise, then suddenly ends, as if transmission was cut off. (sasakure.UK notes in the video description that he stops playing his favorite songs before they end so that it continues in his heart.)
A version with different instrumentals was later uploaded in celebration of the song's 10th year anniversary, featuring Megurine Luka V4X.
This song has entered the Hall of Legend.

Lyrics
| Japanese (日本語歌詞) | Romaji (ローマ字) |
|---|---|
| ふと旅に出たくなるように ヒトは皆 | futo tabi ni detaku naru you ni hito wa mina |
| 眠る場所を求めるものだと 君は云うけど | nemuru basho o motomeru mono dato kimi wa iu kedo |
| 僕が"終末"を知ったときには 此処はもう | boku ga "shuumatsu" o shitta toki niwa koko wa mou |
| 暖かくも寒くもない速度で落ちていた | atatakaku mo samuku mo nai sokudo de ochite ita |
| 『カミサマ』がもしも居たとしても | "kamisama" ga moshimo ita to shite mo |
| 大きな空 溢れるほどの虹 かけてくれなくても良い | ookina sora afureru hodo no niji kakete kure nakutemo ī |
| 『唯一つ 願いをかけるとしたら…？』 | "tada hitotsu negai o kakeru to shitara...?" |
| 君のもとへ"ウタ"を届けたい | kimi no moto e "uta" o todoke tai |
| メグル メグル 最後の 廻音（メロディ） | meguru meguru saigo no melody |
| 君が笑ってくれるのなら 僕は | kimi ga waratte kureru no nara boku wa |
| 消えてしまっても 構わないから | kiete shimatte mo kamawa nai kara |
| 君が涙の海に身を投げても | kimi ga namida no umi ni mi o nagete mo |
| 握りしめた手 離さないから | nigiri shimeta te hanasa nai kara |
| 白い嘘だらけの世界なんてもう | shiroi uso darake no sekai nante mou |
| 消えてしまっても 構わないから | kiete shimatte mo kamawa nai kara |
| 『旅の終わりの夢に見た存在（もの）に 僕は－ | "tabi no owari no yume ni mita mono ni boku wa- |
| なれますように、なれますように』 | nare masu you ni nare masu you ni" |
| オワラナイ ウタヲ ウタオウ 僕ガ 終ワッテ シマウ マエニ … | |
| owara nai uta o utaou boku ga owatte shimau maeni... | |
| オワラナイ ウタヲ ウタオウ 僕ガ 終ワッテ シマウ マエニ … | |

| オワラナイ ウタヲ ウタオウ 僕ガ 終ワッテ シマウ マエニ … | |
| owara nai uta o utaou boku ga owatte shimau maeni... | |
| オワラナイ ウタヲ ウタオウ 僕ガ 終ワッテ シマウ マエニ … | |
| owara nai uta o utaou boku ga owatte shimau maeni... | |
| オワラナイ ウタヲ ウタオウ 僕ガ 終ワッ … | |
| owara nai uta o utaou boku ga owa... | |
