さあ！世界を！ひっくり返せ！！

Come on! Let’s turn! The world upside-down!!

地を這い蹲るものども
そう　お前だ　お前たち
お前の生とは　そこだけに　縛られつづけていいものなのか？
chi wo haitsukubaru mono-domo
sou omae da omae-tachi
omae no sei to wa soko dake ni shibarare tsuzukete ii mono na no ka?

Those crouching on this earth
You! yes, I mean you all
Are you okay with your lives being restrained like this?

ほら　見渡してみれば
右も左も　全部
お前にとって　妬ましくも　気に入らないものたちばかりさ
hora miwatashite mireba
migi mo hidari mo zenbu
omae ni totte netamashiku mo ki ni iranai monotachi bakari sa

Come on, take a look around
Left and right, everyone
They make you all so envious you cannot stand it

思い描け
思い足掻け
お前の憎きものの名を呼べ
omoiegake
omoi agake
omae no nikuki mono no na wo yobe

Picture this!
Struggle to remember
And scream out the names of those you hate!

思い出せ
思い揚れ
お前がかつて抱いた感情
omoidase
omoi agare
omae ga katsute idaita kanjou

Remember this!
Think of
The feelings you once felt

それがお前の正義だろう？！
sore ga omae no ideorogii darou?!

That’s your justice ideology, isn’t it?!

地を！這い蹲るものども！
そう！　お前だ！　そうお前たち！
お前の生とは　そこだけに　縛られつづけているものなのか！
chi wo! haitsukubaru mono-domo!
sou! omae da! sou omae-tachi!
omae no sei to wa soko dake ni shibarare tsuzuketeiru mono na no ka!

All of you! Groveling on this earth!
Yes! I mean you! All of you!
Why are you allowing yourselves to be restrained like this?!

空を睨め
空を焦がせ
己の心を奮い起こせ
sora wo nirame
sora wo kogase
onore no kokoro wo furuiokose

Scowl at the sky!
Scorch the sky!
Make your hearts burn with passion!

天を攫え
天を攫め
お前が許されない世界など
ten wo sarae
ten wo tsukame
omae ga yurusarenai sekai nado

Take the heavens for yourself!
Obtain the heavens!
This whole world, holding no forgiveness for you-

一思いに壊してやれ！
hitoomoi ni kowashite yare!

Destroy it in this moment!

胡座をかく者たちを
さあ引き摺り落とせ！
agura wo kaku mono-tachi wo
saa hikizuriotose!

Drag all of those sitting on their laurels
Down from their supremacy!

守るべきものに何の
価値などないと教え込め
mamorubeki mono ni nan no
kachi nado nai to oshiekome

Teach them, that those
Having to be protected hold no value!

そうだ！天を挫き
そしてこの地を天と為せ
sou da! ten wo kujiki
soshite kono chi wo ten to nase

That’s right! Crush the heaven
And make this earth a new heaven!

その支配が永遠ではないと
いま知らしめろ
sono shihai ga eien de wa nai to
ima shirashimero

Let them know right now
That their supremacy is not eternal!

それがお前の大義だろう！？
sore ga omae no ideorogii darou!?

This is your morals ideology!?

かわいよかわい我が身かわいい大切なものをまもりたいお前が守りたいものなんて一夜の内に消えてしまうさ
お前はけして救われないさお前はけして浮かばれないさだからお前は壊すしかないお前を取り囲むもの全てを
kawai yo kawai waga mi kawaii taisetsu na mono wo mamoritai omae ga mamoritai mono nante hitoyo no uchi ni kiete shimau sa
omae wa keshite sukuwarenai sa omae wa keshite ukabarenai sa dakara omae wa kowasu shika nai omae wo torikakomu mono subete wo

How adorable, oh how adorable they are! Wanting to protect what’s dear to them, but can disappear one night
You’re beyond redemption! You’ll never rest in peace! You must destroy them and all that surrounds them!

この世は坩堝　驚嘆の坩堝
地を這い天を呪うがいい
kono yo wa rutsubo kyoutan no rutsubo
chi wo hai ten wo norou ga ii

This world’s a melting pot; a melting pot of wonders
As you crawl on the earth it’s okay to curse heaves

この世は肥壷　悲哀の肥壷
下から上をを穿つがいい
kono yo wa kotsubo hiai no kotsubo
shite kara ue wo ugatsu ga ii

This world’s a chamber pot; a chamber pot of sorrows
It’s okay to force your way from the bottom to the top

回れよ廻れ　世界よ廻れ
天地有用静止無用
maware yo maware sekai yo maware
tenchi yuuyou seishi muyou

Turn around, turn around; the world’s turning round
Turn the Earth and Heavens upside down, we shall not stop

回れよ廻れ　常軌よ廻れ
正気が狂気捻り切れ
maware yo maware jouki yo maware
seiki ga kyouki hinerikire

Turn around, turn around; what’s ‘normal’ is turning round
Sanity twists off to insanity

崩せよ崩せ　秩序を崩せ
権威を全て過去にしろ
kuzuse yo kuzuse chitsujo wo kuzuse
ken’i wo subete kako ni shiro

Destroy, destroy; destroy the system
Make their power over you the past!

崩せよ崩せ　全てを崩せ
それがリバース・イデオロギー！
kuzuse yo kuzuse subete wo kuzuse
sore ga ribaasu ideorogii!

Destroy, destroy; destroy everything
That’s what the Reverse Ideology is!!

お前の明日はどこにある？！
何もかもこのままで……
――そう思ってしまっただろう？
それが全て誤りなのだ
お前がかつて抱いた　憧れ満ちる麗しき世界
一体どれほどの価値　どれほどの幸福が待つだろうな
抱く思いをいま　形にせずままにして生きるなど――
これがお前の生きる　ありのままの世界の姿なのか！？
omae no asu wa doko ni aru?!
nani mo ka mo kono mama de……
–sou omotte shimatta darou?
sore ga subete ayamari na no da
omae ga katsute idaita akogare michiru uruwashiki sekai

idaku omoi wo ima katachi ni sezu mama ni shite ikiru nado–
kore ga omae no ikiru ari no mama no sekai no sugata na no ka?!

Just where in the world is your tomorrow?!
“If everything stayed the same…”
-Is that what you were thinking?
“All of that was a mistake”
That beautiful world you once held, filled with yearning
What kind of worth does that have? Just think how much happiness is waiting for you
Just living without ever making the wishes you hold strongly come true
Is that the way the world you lived in until now looks like?!

さあ！
何も変わらぬ日々など
全て叩き潰せ！
saa!
nani mo kawaranu hibi nado
subete tatakitsubuse!

Yes!
Smash those unchanging days
To tiny pieces!

明日もその場にいられると
思うなと教え込め
asu mo sono ba ni irareru to
omou na to oshiekome

Teach them
So the future can stay like this

そうだ！空を砕き
そしてこの地を天と為せ
sou da! sora wo kudaki
soshite kono chi wo ten to nase

That’s right! Break the sky
And make this earth a new heaven!

その栄華の終焉を
いまその手で知らしめろ
sono eiga no shuuen wo
ima sono te de shirashimero

Let everyone know that you’re holding
The demise of their glory in your hands

何故と問うことなどなく
怒りを解き放て
naze to tou koto nado naku
ikari wo tokihanate

Let your anger flow out
Without ever asking “why?”!

遥か天の頂まで
その声を響かせろ
haruka ten no itadaki made
sono koe wo hibikasero

Make your voice resound
To reach the farthest parts of heavens!

そうだ！天を挫き
そしてこの地を天と為せ
sou da! ten wo kujiki
soshite kono chi wo ten to nase

That’s right! Crush the heaven
And make this earth a new heaven!

叫べお前の求める
逆、逆、逆をと！！
sakebe omae no motomeru
sakasa, sakasa, sakasa wo to!!

Scream out what you yearn for:
The reversal, reversal, reversal of this world!

どんな痛みにも笑っていろ
挫けた分だけ強さを増せ
なにも悼むなただ前を向け
嘆くものなど笑い飛ばせよ
護りを捨て殴り飛ばすのだ
誓いを立てれば全て破れ
祈りも願いにも縋るなく
それがお前の正義だ！
donna itami ni mo waratteiro

nageku mono nado waraitobaseyo
mamori wo sute naguritobasu no da

sore ga omae no ideorogii da!

Laugh, no matter how painful it is
What doesn’t break you makes you stronger
Mourn over none, face forward
Laugh off anyone screaming in pain!
Throw your defenses and punch them away
If you’ve sworn any oaths, break them all apart
Cling not to prayers or wishes!
This is your justice ideology!

さあ！世界を！ひっくり返せ！！
saa! sekai wo! hikkurikaese!!

Come on! Let’s turn! The world upside-down!!

光ある街 // mu mure

Title: 光ある街 (A Bright Town)
Circle: mu mure
Album: cinema e.p.

どうにかして忘れよう　朝は夜には死んで
切り分けてた時間のなかで　これから
dou ni ka shite wasureyou asa wa yoru ni wa shinde
kiriwaketeta jikan no naka de kore kara

Let’s just somehow forget about it. The morning dies into night
In this isolated time, from now on…

夢に見たら連れ出して　息をして　見えないなら　行こうぜ
yume ni mitara tsuredashite iki wo shite mienainara ikou ze

If I see it when I dream, I’ll drag myself out and take a breath. If I don’t, let’s just go

再生に朝を　最善の痛みを　勇敢な盾を
躓いたそのスタートのリズムにのって
saisei ni asa wo saizen no itami wo yuukan na tate wo 
tsumazuita sono sutaato no rizumu ni notte

If I stumble, I’ll let myself be carried with the start rhythm
Together with the morning rebirth, the utmost pain and the valiant shield

もう何処へだって消えてゆくのに
波を縫って此処へ来る　かげろうのような日
mou doko he datte kiete yuku no ni
nami wo nutte koko he kuru kagerou no you na hi

Where have they disappeared off to now?
Weave your way through the waves and come here, heathaze-like days

この言葉だけ　置いてゆけたら　君の瞼をなぞって
kono kotoba dake oite yuketara kimi no mabuta wo nazotte

If only I could leave this words behind… I’m tracing your eyelids

終末に夜を　有限な痛みを　臆病な牙を
繋がったそのスタートでいいから
shuumatsu ni yoru wo yuugen na itami wo okubyou na kiba wo
tsunagatta sono sutaato de ii kara

It’s fine if they were all connected from the very start
The last night, your finite pain and cowardly fangs

朝に続きを思い出せたら　夜も繋いで越えてゆけたら
asa ni tsuzuki wo omoidasetara yoru mo tsunaide koete yuketara

If only I remembered how that morning went… if I could connect it with the night and cross over it…

もう何処へだって消えてゆくのに
波を縫って此処へ来る　かげろうのような日
mou doko he datte kiete yuku no ni
nami wo nutte koko he kuru kagerou no you na hi

Where have they disappeared off to now?
Weave your way through the waves and come here, heathaze-like days

cinema // mu mure

The first line doesn’t say directly it’s “memories”, that’s just my interpretation. I see it as “there has been so many important memories”

Title: cinema
Circle: mu mure
Album: cinema e.p.

許された日々のなかで　ハイライトは過ぎていった
残された意味を祈っているだけ
名前を呼んで
yurusareta hibi no naka de hairaito wa sugite itta
nokosareta imi wo inotteiru dake
namae wo yonde

During the days I’d been forgiven for, so many memories have been highlighted
Just praying for whatever meaning’s left
I call out your name

I believe all your “live”
even if I still gray

1、2、3で始まるストーリーを　捨てにいこうよ
1、2、3で終わりは来ないで　エンドロールがまだ流れてる
1, 2, 3 de hajimaru sutoorii wo sute ni ikou yo
1, 2, 3 de owari wa konaide endorooru ga mada nagareteru

The story begins in 1, 2, 3. Come on, let’s leave it behind
The closure won’t come in 1, 2, 3. The endrolls are still playing

いつか見た映画のように　綺麗な最後はない　曖昧な色で飾るから
ぼくらの未来は
itsu ka mita eiga no you ni kirei na saigo wa nai aimai na iro de kazaru kara
bokura no mirai wa

Just like in a movie I have seen, there’s no pretty endings. Adorned with fuzzy colors
Is our future.

1、2、3で始まるストーリーを　ずっと止めないわ
1、2、3で終わりは来ないで　エンドロールがまだ流れてる
1, 2, 3 de hajimaru sutoorii wo zutto tomenai wa
1, 2, 3 de owari wa konaide endorooru ga mada nagareteru

The story begins in 1, 2, 3. It will never end.
The closure won’t come in 1, 2, 3. The endrolls are still playing

1、2、3で始まるストーリーを　捨てにいこうよ
1、2、3で終わりは来ないで　エンドロールに名前をのせて
1, 2, 3 de hajimaru sutoorii wo sute ni ikou yo
1, 2, 3 de owari wa konaide endorooru ni namae wo nosete

The story begins in 1, 2, 3. Come on, let’s leave it behind
The closure won’t come in 1, 2, 3. In the endrolls, your name’s send out

1、2、3で始まるストーリーを　ずっと止めないわ
1、2、3で終わりは来ないで　エンドロールがまだ流れてる
1, 2, 3 de hajimaru sutoorii wo zutto tomenai wa
1, 2, 3 de owari wa konaide endorooru ga mada nagareteru

The story begins in 1, 2, 3. It will never end.
The closure won’t come in 1, 2, 3. The endrolls are still playing

おにさんこちら // 豚乙女

Oni-san is of course the demon

このゆびとまれ is a phrase children usually use to gather those that are up to play the game he wants to play, like hide and seek or whatever.

You can read what Hana Ichi Monme is here. Basically it’s a children’s game.

Title: おにさんこちら (Oni-san, come here)
Circle: 豚乙女
Album: 少女煉獄　第四巻

おにさんこちらこのゆびとまれ
onisan kochira kono yubi tomare

Oni-san, come here, right where I am!

この世界は無限に広がって
その数だけ真実があるから
迷いながら自分で選び出し
最適だと信じて生きるのさ
kono sekai wa mugen ni hirogatte
sono kazu dake shinjitsu ga aru kara
mayoi nagara jibun de erabidashi
saiteki da to shinjite ikiru no sa

This world spreads out to infinity
And that’s exactly how many truths there are
Being lost ourselves, we choose one of them
And live on, believing it’s the best one

「意味を持たないこと」は
時に恐ろしいこと
強すぎる好奇心は猫をも殺すと言うでしょう？
“imi wo motanai koto” wa
toki ni osoroshii koto
tsuyosugiru koukishin wa neko wo mo korosu to iu deshou?

“Things that have no meaning” are
Sometimes pretty scary
Well, the saying says “curiosity killed the cat”, doesn’t it?

疑問を持ったり解き明かして
明日の糧にする
ギリギリのとこで崩れない
バランスを取って
思いもよらない出来事にも
意味を創り出す
人間だって妖怪だって
同じことだから
いきはよいよいかえりはこわい
gimon wo mottari tokiakashite
asu no kate ni suru
girigiri no toko de kuzurenai
baransu wo totte
omoi mo yoranai dekigoto ni mo
imi wo tsukuridasu
ningen datte youkai datte
onaji koto dakara
iki wa yoi yoi kaeri wa kowai

Having any of your questions answered
Will be the nourishment for tomorrow
Let’s maintain a balance
So nothing gets crushed
Let’s add a meaning
To the unexpected incidents that happened
After all, youkai or human
We’re the same!
Going forward is fine, but coming back will be scary!

知らぬことは何より悪いこと
本に書いてないと分からないの
shiranu koto wa nani yori warui koto
hon ni kaitenai to wakaranai no

Not knowing things is the worst
If something wasn’t written in a book I won’t know

不思議、それこそ安寧?
誤算、葛藤のせい
曖昧にしたのなら最後まで覆い隠してね
fushigi, sore koso annei?
gosan, kattou no sei
aimai ni shita no nara saigo made ooikakushite ne

Mystery, is that the same as peace?
Miscalculation, is the reason of conflicts
We made these so ambiguous, so it’s better to keep them hidden till the end!

境界越えたら神隠しで
様々に映る
確信したの白と黒とは
隔てきれないと
選んだ真実とその間と
私そのものが
いつかきっと答えになって
語り継がれていく

Being spirited away after crossing a boundary
Can be perceived in various ways
So that the established difference between black and white
Doesn’t change
Between who I am myself
And what truth I’ve chosen
Surely, someday it’ll make sense
That’s why I am writing it down
“We’re so happy we won, hana ichi monme”

思いもよらない出来事にも

I turn to my side
And I can see you smiling right there

慣れてるいつものこの景色が
少し違く思うの
nareteru itsumo no kono keshiki ga
sukoshi chigaku omou no

I’m starting to feel like the scenery I got used to
Is seeming a bit different now

想像もしてなかったんだ
こんな日がくるなんて
souzou mo shitenakatta nda
konna hi ga kuru nante

I could’ve never imagined
That such days would come…

人混みのなかはぐれない様に
hitogomi no naka hagurenai you ni

You reached out your hand, so admits the crowd of people

手をひいてくれる
te wo hiite kureru

I wouldn’t lose my way

「いつか」と願っていたんだ
星降る夜にそっと期待をしていた
いくら誤魔化してみたって
抑えきれなかった
隠すほどにやっぱり
わたし君が好きで
夏の風に吹かれて
あの日君に出逢った
あの瞬間惹かれていたのかな

I was praying for that “someday” to come
As I was getting my hopes up in the night of the shooting stars
No matter how many times I end up decieved
I couldn’t hold back in the end
The fact that I loved you so much
To the point I was hiding it
I met you
On that breezy summer day
Somewhat charmed by that brief moment
For the first time, I felt the pain in my chest
Now, I send my feeling towards you…

繋いだら離さないでね
強く握っていてね
tsunaidara hanasanaide ne
tsuyoku nigitte ite ne

Hold them so strong and tight, okay?
As to never let go

晴れの日も雨の日も
一緒ならば歩いていけるよね

In sunny and rainy days
If we’re together, I’m sure we can walk on
Yes, us two, from now on

Each time you laugh
A smile paints on my face too

This colorful scenery
Just keep broadening

まだね君の知らないとこ
沢山あるから
不安なこともあるんだ
でもねひとつずつ少しずつ
知っていければいいな
そして君を
支えていける人になりたい
夏の風に揺られて
あの日君に恋をした
こんなに苦しくなるものなの

You know, there’s so many places
You do not know of yet
We might feel anxious
But if we could learn about them
Slowly, step by step, wouldn’t that be good?
So then I could
Be the person that could depend on you
Moved by the summer breeze on that day
I fell in love you
Who would’ve know it’d be so painful…

初めて涙零れて知った

So it can shine on us

語九十九節 // 凋叶棕

Now, this was a tough one!
平曲 is the chanting of the Heike Monogatari to biwa accompaniment​. Dunno how much meaning it holds here besides being what it is, so an old song.

Title: 語九十九節 (Tsukumo Melody)
Circle: 凋叶棕
Album: 逆

祇園生者の鐘の音
諸行無常の響きあり！
gion shouja no kane no koe
shogyou mujou no hibiki ari!

The sound of bells from the Jetavana
Echo with the sound of life’s impermanence!

沙羅双樹の花の音
生者必衰の響きに乗せ！
sara souju no hana no koe
shouja hissui no hibiki ni nose!

The sound of the sal tree’s flowers
Carries the sound of the inevitability of death!

さあ語れよ九十九節！
saa katareyo tsukumo bushi!

Now speak, Tsukumo Melody!

ぎよよぎよよと弦が鳴る
この音この音と麗しく
響け　さすればちからもつ
かくて天地動かす唄
giyoyo giyoyo to gen ga naru
kono oto kono oto to uruwashiku
hibike sasureba chikara motsu
kakute ametsuchi ugokasu uta

Shamaisen sounds ring, giyoyo giyoyo~
Oh how beautiful is this sound!
Oh echo, if you can still pull the strings
Then may this song move the gods of Heaven and Earth!

しゃららしゃらりと爪踊る
この音この音と愛おしく
響け　さすればものがたる
かくてあはれと思はす唄
sharara sharari to tsume odoru
kono oto kono oto to itooshiku
hibike sasureba monogataru
kakute aware to omowasu uta

My nails dance, like shalala
Oh how lovely is this sound!
Oh echo, if you can still tell this story
Then may this song revoke a pathos!

さあじゃんじゃかじゃんじゃかじゃんじゃんじゃかじゃかじゃんと
命の踊る音がする
誰の手に抱かれずとも

Bam, bam, I step following the rhythm
Everything I see is new!

(We can find the way…)
(So now, Fly away…)

深く滲んだ夜に 一人彷徨っていた
あてもなくただ音を 確かめるように
fukaku kasunda yo ni hitori samayotteita
ate mo naku tada ne wo tashikameru you ni

With no reason at all, I wandered around in a deep, dark night
Just wanting to check out the sound I heard

Can you feel the heartbeat?
Lead you to glory days
So, It’s just waiting for you
Keep on going, To the days
Don’t look back
You know You can go anywhere

降り止んだ雨の向こう
覗く太陽のように (Yeah, Hang in there…)
furiyanda ame no mukou
nozoku taiyou no you ni (Yeah Hang in there…)

Just like a sun peeking after rain from behind
The stormy clouds (Yeah, Hang in there…)

Believe in myself
Pursue the dream
To the world where I’ve never seen
It’s just time to go

(Find the way…)
そう　Find the way 光が射す方へ

(Find the way…)
Yes, I’ll find the way, following the light!
I’ll cross over every night, heading forward
(Like the stars…)
Yes, like the stars illuminating the night
Let’s follow the voice calling from the sky

One night,I lost track of my future
And I was crying cause couldn’t move
I felt like the darkness was calling
And I couldn’t help stopping in the fog

微かに洩れた希望が君を呼んでいる
耳を澄まして 足跡にまた 色をつけて歩むんだ
kasuka ni moreta hi ga kimi wo yondeiru
mimi wo sumashite ashiato ni mata iro wo tsukete ayumu nda

My faint light of hope shines through, calling your name
Just listen closely and as you go, your footprints will be stained with a color

There is always light behind the clouds
And don’t forget we’re not alone (Yeah, Step by step…)
僕を待ってる
日々を今　進もう　羽広げ
There is always light behind the clouds
And don’t forget we’re not alone (Yeah Step by step…)

hibi wo ima susumou hane hiroge

There is always light behind the clouds
And don’t forget we’re not alone (Yeah, Step by step…)
I’ll spread my wings
And move forward, facing the days that had been waiting for me

(Fly away…)

どんな日々も駆けて　永久に

そう　Light the sky 戸惑いも掻き分け
僕らを紡ぐ星を掴もう

(Fly away…)
Yes, I’ll fly away, piercing through the wind!
No matter what kind of days await me through the eternity
(Light the sky…)
Yes, I’ll light the sky and set my confusion aside
Let’s seize the stars that put us together

残響が徒に阻む 冷たく道を塞ぐんだ
It’s just like my heart is leaving so far away
か細く頼りなく揺らぐ　灯火はそっとそのまま
消さずにまた一歩　刻もう
zankyou ga itazura ni habamu tsumetaku michi wo fusagu nda
It’s just like my heart is leaving so far away
kabosoku tayorinaku yuragu tomoshibi wa sotto sono mama
kesazu ni mata ippo kizamou

The echo tries to stop me, obstructing the way to a cold path
It’s just like my heart is leaving so far away
A faint flame about to go out, swaying around
Let’s mark another step before it goes out!

そう Find the way 光が射す方へ
どんな夜も超えて　先へ
そう　Like the stars 暗闇も照らして
空に響く声に続こう

スリープジャンキー // 豚乙女

Title: スリープジャンキー (Sleep Junkie)
Album: 大貧民 (Extreme Needy)
Circle: 豚乙女 (BUTAOTOME)

着飾った仮面が息を吐いてる現
暗闇の中ではみんな手札を晒す
kikazatta kamen ga iki wo haiteru utsutsu
kurayami no naka de wa minna tefuda wo sarasu

The dressed up mask breathes reality
Inside the darkness everyone shows the card in their hand

繋がることを恐れ　一人壁の中にいても
実は繋がっている
飼いならされた犬の様に
またあの場所へ還る　今夜も
tsunagaru koto wo osore hitori kabe no naka ni itemo
jitsu wa tsunagatte iru
kainarasareta inu no you ni
mata ano basho he kaeru kon’ya mo

I fear connected things. Even if I was alone within the walls
Truth is I’m still connected
Just like a tamed dog
This night as well, I’ll come back to that place

満たされぬ心でもすぐに満たされる
変われない自分など此処にはいないから
傷ついた心でもすぐに癒される
「あなたは悪くない」と慰めてる　目が覚めるまで
mitasarenu kokoro demo sugu ni mitasareru
kawarenai jibun nado koko ni wa inai kara
kizutsuita kokoro demo sugu ni iyasareru
“anata wa warukunai” to nagusameteru me ga sameru made

An unfulfilled heart that’ll be fulfilled right away
There’s nothing like an “unchangeable me” here!
A wounded heart that’ll be healed right away
“You’re not bad” I console you until you wake up

誘い水を飲めばみんな中毒になる
境目の垣根は案外低く脆い
sasoimizu wo nomeba minna chuudoku ni naru
sakaime no kakine wa angai hikuku moroi

An injection of pump priming will intoxicate everyone
The walls of boundaries are unexpectedly lowering down – so brittle!

目紛しく移り変わり進んでいく日々に
少し疲れてきてる
噛み付いたら離さぬ蛇に
引きずり込まれてく　今夜も
memagurushiku utsurikawari susunde iku hibi ni
sukoshi tsukarete kiteru
kamitsuitara hanasanu hebi ni
hikizurikomareteku kon’ya mo

I became quite tired with these everchanging
And hectic days
Just like the ouroboros itself
This night as well, I’m dragged in them

イラついた心でもすぐに満たされる
邪魔者をなぎ倒し全てを消し去れる
欲張りな心でもすぐに満たされる
欲しいもの何もかも手に入れてる　目が覚めるまで
iratsuita kokoro demo sugu ni mitasareru
jamamono wo nagitaoshi subete wo keshisareru
yokubari na kokoro demo sugu ni mitasareru
hoshii mono nanimokamo te ni ireteru me ga sameru made

An irritated heart that’ll be fulfilled right away
I’ll get rid of everything in my way!
A greedy heart that’ll be fulfilled right away
Lay your hand on anything you want! until you wake up

現に生きるべきか　夢に生きるべきか
難解な大波に溺れて　夢の中
utsutsu ni ikirubeki ka yume ni ikirubeki ka
nankai na oonami ni oborete yume no naka

Should I live in reality or a dream?
Drowning in an unintelligible surge in the depths of my dreams

満たされぬ心でもすぐに満たされる
変われない自分など此処にはいないから
傷ついた心でもすぐに癒される
「あなたは悪くない」と慰めてる　目が覚めるまで
mitasarenu kokoro demo sugu ni mitasareru
kawarenai jibun nado koko ni wa inai kara
kizutsuita kokoro demo sugu ni iyasareru
“anata wa warukunai” to nagusameteru me ga sameru made

An unfulfilled heart that’ll be fulfilled right away
There’s nothing like an “unchangeable me” here!
A wounded heart that’ll be healed right away
“You’re not bad” I console you until you wake up

Just as if reflected in the mirror
Everything looks the same!
So why, I wonder, do we see the world in such different ways?
Why so?
–I have no idea!

なんでなんでなんでなんでよ！
わたしのこと心配でしょう？

Why, why, why, why?!
Why are you worried about me?
So strong, standing behind them, silent, I wait and wait, it’s just like that
Everyone’s so afraid
Or perhaps you’re afraid of them?

だからダメなんだよ、お姉ちゃんはね。

That’s why you are bad, right sis?

But cannot see through my heart, can you?

どうせ何もかもを知らないと
不安で仕方ないんでしょう？

After all, when you cannot know everything
Suddenly you feel helpless and anxious, huh?

I can invert the colors
But the place I arrive to is the same
So why, I wonder, does this paint a completely different image in my mind?
Why so?
–I don’t know at all!

Hey, hey, hey, stop for a sec!
Do you treasure me deeply?
Only me, madly in love, in silence, just, just in it, just like that
Everyone’s avoiding me
Or maybe it’s me who wants to avoid everyone?

だからダメなんだよ、お姉ちゃんはね。

But you only cling to your own mansion, don’t you?

誰かの心声を聞かないと
不安に耐えられない臆病者ね
