LUV ME

HATE ME

LUV ME

KILL ME

Love and hate, love and hate, swirling around

Singing the wild frenzy of Greater Tokyo

Spin, spin, the age

Drenched in the shame of living

Feeding on love and hate

Pretending to be all grand

We end up apart

Then, let's meet again

Swing dramatically

Accept my unfinished self

A comforting fiction

A discord between lies and truth

Forgive even a flawed love

I don't mind; I'll survive on this stage

The trembling warrior forced to bite like a dog

If I'm just left to be used

I can't stay quiet

LUV ME

Just being righteous

HATE ME

Take everything

LUV ME

Stained with love and hate

KILL ME

Take me away from here

Embracing love and hate

At the peak, anytime

It's fine to cheat, cheat

I don't care about the price

Wriggling in love and hate

Scattering diplomatic smiles

Everything ends without any questions

Then, let's meet again

Feels like a dream, like a lie, right?

You can't stay sane in today's Tokyo

Tingling with sweet words

Make me think this moment is the best

Compassion is unnecessary

The world is fleeting, lives run parallel forever

Stained with love and hate

Take me away from here

LUV ME

Just being righteous

HATE ME

Today is also heartless

LUV ME

Stained with love and hate

KILL ME

With my heart laid bare

Love and hate, love and hate, swirling around

Singing the wild frenzy of Greater Tokyo

Spin, spin, the age

Drenched in the shame of living

Feeding on love and hate

Pretending to be all grand

We end up apart

Then, let's meet again

Embracing love and hate

At the peak, anytime

It's okay to deceive

I don't care about the cost

Wriggling in love and hate

Scattering diplomatic charm

Everything ends without any questions

Then, let's meet again

LUV ME

Just being righteous

HATE ME

Take everything

LUV ME

Stained with love and hate

KILL ME

Take me away from here

LUV ME

Just being righteous

HATE ME

Today is also heartless

LUV ME

Stained with love and hate

KILL ME

With my heart exposed

愛憎愛憎渦巻いて

大東京狂騒歌って

廻れ廻れ時代の

生き恥にずぶ濡れで

愛憎愛憎を喰らって

参ろう大層な様で

離れ離れで終いよ

然らば又逢いましょう

ドラマチックに溺れて

未完成な私を認めて

気休めのフィクション

嘘と真の不協和音

出来損な愛でも許して

構わない 此の舞台生き抜いて

咬ませ狗の武者震い

ヤラレっぱなしじゃ

大人しくはなれない

LUV ME

正しさばかりで

HATE ME

全部奪って

LUV ME

愛憎塗れで

KILL ME

此処を連れ出して

愛憎愛憎抱き合って

最高潮よ何時だって

騙し騙しで良いの

代償なんて気にしないよ

愛憎愛憎に踠いて

外交愛想振り撒いて

万物問答無用で終いよ

然らば又逢いましょう

夢見心地で嘘みたいだろう？

今の東京では正気じゃ居られない

甘い言葉で疼かせて

今が最高とそう思わせて

情けは無用ね

世情無常で一生平行線ね

愛憎塗れで

此処を連れ出して

LUV ME

正しさばかりで

HATE ME

今日も無情いね
