Lyrics & Translation

[English] Peeling off completely
Really show your true feelings
Tonight, as if to decay away
So I won’t suppress my impulses
Pretending to be normal, hiding my desires
I just can't stop, it's overwhelming
Burning it all up like this
Turning over the veils that cover me
I don't need anything more
Seeking even after getting it, escaping again
Ah, now I'm just showing my warm pride, how foolish
A mighty thick collection
Boasting pride and forgetting love
Ordinary memories are no longer
Needed in this world no more
Once you're seen through and exposed
It's an everlasting fiction
Throw it out of your mind
Just give up now, no more stubbornness needed
Because I've gotten bored of fantasizing every day
Probably saying goodbye tomorrow
All packed into a suitcase
Everything peels away
Really show your true feelings
Just as titles are meaningless
So I won’t suppress my impulses
Pretending to be normal, hiding my desires
I just can't stop, it's overwhelming
There's no time for regrets
Forget pretending to be strong
Want to escape like in a big city, right?
Dull days with no meaning, reaching the limit
Even the sweet smile filled with praise
If I laugh and reveal everything
Behind justified reasons I can substitute
Hidden eternal boy
Dreamed of vivid colors, longing for admiration
The chameleon reveals its final form
Colorful, deceptive appearances
Transform into a symbol of freedom, how crazy
My own choice, even anxiety is controlled
So clear
Found in a distant land
Fragment that I thought was lost
Weaves a mirage similar to a dream
Appeared unable to rust
Glory and vows of past times
Living with finite, intertwined lives
That same desperation
Continuously trying to put on a mask
Hearts starting to drift apart
A showcase to hold onto
Everything peels away
Just give a simple, straightforward answer
Without thinking about the consequences
Entrust everything to the next life
Abandon even inner conflicts
Free the unspoken words, alright?
You'd understand once you've experienced it
Forget about showing off how ugly you are
Travelers lost on their path
If you give back loneliness, you get the spotlight
Still pushed by headwinds
Walking seeking strength to laugh
Imitating love of androids
No need for any proof
Because what I feel is real
Peeling off completely
Really show your true feelings
Tonight, as if to decay away
Without suppressing my impulses
Pushing through with hyper-saturation
Is it okay to start proving my existence?
You're probably tired of these runaway acts
Wear the colors you've chosen
Ah, everything peels away
Really show your true feelings
Just as titles are meaningless
So I won’t suppress my impulses
Pretending to be normal, hiding my desires
I just can't stop, it's overwhelming
There's no time for regrets
Forget pretending to be strong
Want to escape like in a big city, right?
Dull days with no meaning, reaching the limit
Even the sweet smile filled with praise
If I laugh and reveal everything
Behind justified reasons I can substitute
Hidden eternal boy
Dreamed of vibrant colors, longing for admiration
The chameleon reveals its final form
