JapaneseEnglish
妄想 扇情 愛想が上手な 品性Delusion, sensationality, a people-pleasing personality;
余分な言葉に ずっきゅん ばっきゅん ねThose unnecessary words make my chest tighten.
ふっと消えちゃえば つんと香り出してWhen they suddenly disappear, a fragrance bursts out;
欲しいものだけ 捕まえるのThey’re merely capturing things they desire.

曖昧な笑顔が ぞっきゅん どっきゅん ねThat ambiguous smile makes my chest tighten.
旋回 共同体 存在反証Rotation, collective, a disproof of existence;
脳内も 鼓動さえも全部 求めあうのさAn inner world, even just a heartbeat, are all things we seek from each other.
この一分前に からくれないの心から 知らない夜の音From this heart, crimson red just a minute ago, comes an unknown sound of the night;
駒 を 賭せばIf I were to risk a piece – 1
瓦礫のまちへ もどっておいでPlease return to the streets of rubble,
偽物だから 黙っていたのSince I’m but a fake, I stayed silent.
待ちわびた この世界でIn this world that I so eagerly awaited,
アタシのことを 攫っていくのI continue to be mesmerized.
最低で最悪な夢は 蔑んだはずの毎日を崇めていたIn the worst, most terrible dream, I revered the everyday that I ought to despise.
溶け続ける脳内が それは それは 絶海のようだったIn my brain that keeps melting, it feels, it feels like an endless ocean.
排他的な存在は 組み入った影が交差するIn this exclusionary existence, shifting shadows overlap each other;
電脳部深層で 「誰も理解し合えない」In the depths of the cybernetic brain, “No one will ever understand me,”
因果の声 ユーフォノスクオリアThe sound of causality, euphonos qualia. 2
なんも届かないよNothing’s getting through,
遊覧塔遠方 かごのなかAfar from the observation tower, in the confines of a cage.
伝えなくていいよIt’s fine if it can’t get through,
妬む君が おとずれてThe envious you will eventually come here.
瓦礫のまちへ もどっておいでPlease return to the streets of rubble,
舞台だなんて 必要はないのYou need not proclaim you’ve found a stage.
胸の鼓動 帰っておいでThe heartbeat in my chest, please leave,
雨だれ避けて 黙って 舞うのI shelter myself from the rain, fall silent and dance.
狂騒 変貌 高尚 思い込み人生Craziness, transfiguration, a life you’ve convinced yourself is noble;
指さし愛を ずっきゅん ばっきゅん ねThat finger-pointing love makes my chest tighten.
そっと寄り添えば 芯に刻み込んでAfter a gentle approach, it is engraved into the core;
あの子 どこの子 見ないでWhere’s that child from? Stop looking.
内生 後悔 禁忌の扉開いてIntrinsicality, regret, opening the forbidden door;
知欲招きが ぞっきゅん どっきゅん ねThat invitation of curiosity makes my chest tighten.
貞 解読 退陣 電文形象Virtue, decoding, resignation, the shape of a telegram;
廃材の躯体さえも 円に 惹かれあうのさEven my body made of scraps is also drawn towards the perfect circle.
この一分前に からくれないの心から 繋がる夜の音From this heart, crimson red just a minute ago, come interconnected sounds of the night;
苫 を 編めばIf I were to weave hay into a mat – 3
瓦礫のまちへ もどっておいでPlease return to the streets of rubble,
くたびれて馳せ 染まってしまうのTired out and in a hurry, I end up stained.
夢に見たこの世界のThis world I’ve seen in my dreams,
傍にいさせてPlease let me stay by its side.
最低で最悪な夢は 抗った心内細胞の改変で 崩壊寸前さIn this worst, most terrible dream, right before my resisting heart cells decay and collapse,
針で裂けた胸中が それは それは 残花のようだったIn my chest split open with a needle, it feels, it feels like a flower about to wilt.
雷光求む問いが 今 投げうった身体を蝕むWhat I ask of the lightning now is, to erode this body thrown at it;
電脳部深層で 「意味なんてどうしようもない」In the depths of the cybernetic brain, “Things like meaning can’t be helped,”

夜の音が 僕をずっと待ってんだよThe sound of the night will always be waiting for me, after all.
心臓が跳ねる夢は 蔑んだはずの毎日を崇めていたIn a dream where my heart beats, I revered the everyday I ought to despise.
溶け続ける脳内が それは それは 絶海のようだったIn my brain that keeps melting, it feels, it feels like an endless ocean.
