| 近道 was 要らない | “Taking the long route is just fine, 2 |
| ただそこにいればいいんじゃない？ | Why don’t you stay on that side?” |
| ならなんで此処はin the night | So why, here, in the night, |
| 不条理が退かない まだ | Is this absurdity yet to subside? |
| 近道 was 要らない | “Taking the long route is just fine”, |
| 正しさを語らい | Discussing what’s wrong and right; |
| 思うままcut the line | To your heart’s content, cut the line; |
| 気休めのIt’s a lie | Like a temporary relief, it’s a lie. |
| 計り知れない明日より昨日に縋る怠惰達 | Rather than the unfathomable tomorrow, we lazies cling to yesterday’s shadow. 3 |
| 鏡を見る様に苦笑 | Like looking in a mirror, wearing a smile so bitter, |
| そうやって僕らは何処に向かっている？ | Living like this, where are we heading to? |
| 近道 was 要らない | “Taking the long route is just fine”, |
| まだ曖昧の騙し合い | Yet still, we tell each other the same vague lie; |
| ただ交錯する criticize Ah | We will keep crossing paths just to criticize, 4 |
| 切り裂いて scissors 哀 | Until it’s all cut apart with scissors, sigh; |
| まだ | Yet still. 5 |
| 初めて知ること | For the first time, I became aware, |
| ・異端者の行く底 | • Of the depths heretics go when they err, |
| ・著名人の死 | • Of the deaths of famous people, |
| ・繰り言 | • And gripes said with a glare. 5 |
| Iconic 希望 まだ悪い夢の中！ | An iconic hope – still in a bad dream! |
| 歩いている | …Just walking. |
| 計り知れない明日より昨日に縋る怠惰達 | Rather than the unfathomable tomorrow, we lazies cling to yesterday’s shadow. |
| 鏡を見る様に苦笑 | Like looking in a mirror, wearing a smile so bitter, |
| そうやって僕らは | Living like this, we— |
| 向こうで歌う誰かに 決して消えない何かに | Whoever’s still singing over there, whatever that refuses to disappear, |
| 届くのは無情、逆上 | Thrown at them was apathy, frenzy, |
| 第三者指した後ろ指隠す | Bystanders pointing fingers from the back. |
| 目に映らないな injury | Unseen to the eye, such injury; |
| それすら疑問じゃないらしい！ | Even that, no one questions it apparently! |
| 正しさも不浄の偽装 | Righteousness is just disguise for the dirty, |
| そうなれば僕らは | If that’s the case, then— |
| 何を愛していく？ 何を叫んでいく？ | What do we keep loving? What do we keep shouting? |
| 何を妬んでいく？ 何を歌っていく？ | What do we keep envying? What do we keep singing? |
| 今も靡いている 少し泣いている | Swaying now still, Crying a bit still, |
| 僕を拒んでいる そんな思いは | Rejecting me still; Such are my emotions, |
| 何に変わっていく？ | What are they turning into? |
