This is a song written by the fictional character Masami Iwasawa and performed by the fictional band Girls Dead Monster in the anime Angel Beats. There are two versions of this song sung by the characters Masami and Yui respectively. Of course Yui's singing voice is provided by LiSA.
The fictional character Masami Iwasawa lived a tragic life with her parents always fighting at home and even resorting to violence sometimes. She escapes into the world of music and well I won't spoiler the people who haven't watched Angel Beats yet.
This is a really sad song with lyrics describing how Masami found the strength to live in this cruel and ugly world.
苛立ちをどこにぶつけるか探してる間に終わる日
空は灰色をしてその先は何も見えない
常識ぶってる奴が笑ってる 次はどんな嘘を言う？
それで得られた物 大事に飾っておけるの？
でも明日へと進まなきゃならない
だからこう歌うよ
泣いてる君こそ 孤独な君こそ
正しいよ 人間らしいよ
落とした涙がこう言うよ
こんなにも美しい嘘じゃない本当の僕らをありがとう
叶えたい夢や届かない夢がある事
それ自体が夢になり希望になり人は生きていけるんだろう
扉はある そこで待っている
だから手を伸ばすよ
挫けた君にはもう一度戦える強さと自信とこの歌を
落とした涙がこう言うよ
こんなにも汚れて醜い世界で出会えた奇跡にありがとう

The day ends as I was finding an avenue to vent my irritation
The sky turns grey and I can't see anything ahead
People pretending to be normal laugh What lie are they going to tell next?
What they gained from that, can they really wear it proudly?
However, we have no choice but to go on ahead
and that is why I will sing this
The "you" who is crying, The lonely "you"
You are right, You are human
The tears we shed are saying this
Thank you for being beautiful people, it's not a lie
Dreams we want fulfilled, Dreams that won't reach
That in itself become dreams and hope so people can live on
There is a door and I'll be waiting there
So stretch out your hand
Let this song give you confidence and strength to pick yourself up again
The tears we shed are saying this
Thank you for the miracle that is us meeting in this soiled and ugly world

LiSA - Oath Sign
LiSA, an acronym for Live is Smile Always. Making her debut as yui's singing voice in the anime Angel Beats, LiSA has taken the world of anisongs by storm.
Her next collaboration with anime is the song Oath Sign, the opening song of the anime Fate/Zero. I first heard the full version of this song live at the annual Anime Festival Asia held in Singapore. The energy LiSA had along with the live band members was something constantly pulsating throughout the audience. It was definitely a performance to remember. For those interested, the performance can be found on the internet as nico nico douga was streaming the performance live.
Oath Sign basically describes the feelings of the people involved in the Holy Grail War in the anime Fate/Zero. A battle of survival between sorcerers and their servants who are ancient heroes manifested with their mana to serve them. The survivors of this Holy Grail War will gain the Holy Grail which grants them the ability to have any one wish fulfilled. As such, it is an impure miracle built upon the demise of others as touched upon in the lyrics.
繰り返す世界 何度手を伸ばしたら
儚い涙は黒い心を溶かすの？
芽生え出した思いは胸に響いたなら
君の隣でずっと変わらず護るだろう
堕ちた希望を拾って明日に繋いでゆけば
絡まった歪な願いだってほどける
光りをかざして躊躇いを消した
あげたかったのは未来で
泣いてる夜抱いたまま嘆きを叫んで
踏み入れた足を遠くの理想が
そっと癒してゆく
確かな絆を強く握り進もうどこまでも
穢れきった奇跡を背に
創られた思い触れれば何よりも
温かくて現実が霞始める
狂い出した世界に問いかけ続けても
答えなんて出ないってもう君は知っていたの？
泣いて滲んだ願いは決して揺るぎはしなくて
ただそっと痛みを終わりなく与える
哀しみを知って喜びを知った
弱さは君を変えて
立ち止まった時 剥がれすべてを壊した
届くはずのない言葉を託して
見えた瞳は
何を感じて遠ざけるの？
心隠すように
今ここにいる意味
教えてくれたなら
強くいられる 変わらずいつも
光りをかざして躊躇いを消した
あげたかったのは未来で
泣いてる夜抱いたまま嘆きを叫んで
踏み入れた足を遠くの理想が
そっと癒してゆく
確かな絆を強く握り進もうどこまでも
迷いなんて目を開いて
振り払って手を伸ばそう
穢れきった奇跡を背に

How many times do i need to reach out my hand in this repeating world
for the ephemeral tears to melt a black heart?
If this budding thought is resounding in your chest
then I will always be beside you to protect you
Pick up the fallen hope and connect it to tomorrow
then even entwined and distorted wishes will come undone
Blocking the light and erasing my hesitance
What I wanted to give was a future
Embrace the night when you were crying and scream out your grief
The foot that was trodden upon will be slowly healed
by a faraway ideal
Grab hold of your strong bonds and advance no matter where
shouldering a miracle rid of impurity
If fabricated thoughts can be felt, they are warmer than anything
Reality starts to move from a blur
Did you already know that there won't be an answer
even if you continue to question this insane world?
A wish drenched in tears is unwavering
but it will only slowly impart endless pain
Having known sadness and happiness
weakness will change you
When you come to a halt, everything would have been peeled off and destroyed
Entrusted with words that won't reach
What did those eyes see
that made you keep a distance?
To hide your heart
If you could tell me
the meaning of me being here right now
Then I can stay here forever and always
Blocking the light and erasing my hesitance
What I wanted to give was a future
Embrace the night when you were crying and scream out your grief
The foot that was trodden upon will be slowly healed
by a faraway ideal
Grab hold of your strong bonds and advance no matter where
Shake off your confusion
open your eyes and stretch out your hand
Shoulder a miracle rid of impurity
