[English]

That day, under the apple tree, we conspired together

Crossed the boundary line

Suddenly blackout, 'Oh, you're angry now?'

Chased and pushed into this dimension

What have I done?

Even someone like me...

No, surely not just me...

I blamed it on you

Held a secret

Fig leaves flipping left and right

Suddenly, I wake up

And then I fall to the sky

Somehow, I can't stop

One more bite, again

Falling, falling

Spiraling down toward the skyscraper

Now falling, falling

Two of us alone, unaware

Even at curtain call

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Endless

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Entrusting myself to this moment

Before I know it, the wounds are healed, yeah

...

Here, everything’s a chaotic mix

Demons and gods, all the same

Shut out everything—what’s wrong with me?

From the start, we’ve been dead serious

Shaking off the doubts

Even the blame from behind is

Actually a tailwind, we still need more

Bitten by a snake

A fleeting blossom of history

There’s still 'vacancy' in Eden

In an instant, dyed in colors

Then the heat begins to fade

Hey, wait before that

One more drop, again

Falling, falling

Spiraling down toward the skyscraper

Now falling, falling

Two of us alone, unaware

Even at curtain call

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Endless

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Entrusting myself to this moment

Before I know it, the wounds are healed

...

Again

...

Falling, falling

Spiraling down toward the skyscraper

Now falling, falling

Two of us alone, unaware

Even at curtain call

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Endless

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Entrusting myself to this moment

Before I know it, the wounds are healed

Drain this blood before it cools down

Drink it all up, dizzyingly stylish

Coloring this meaningless encounter

Before my eyes open again, possess me

Pierce through the narrow sky, falling

A sweet taste, the two are hooked

...

[Japanese]

あの日林檎の木の下 共犯で

踏み越えてみた境界線

すぐに blackout「あ お怒りで」

追い立てられてこんな次元へ

俺とした事が

俺如きですら

俺に限っていや まさかね

君のせいにした

秘密を手にした

イチジクの葉が右左

あっという間 目が醒める

かと思えば空に落ちて行く

なんというか やめられぬ

もうひと齧り again

Falling, falling

螺旋状に堕ちてゆく摩天楼に

今 falling, falling

二人ぼっち気づかない

カーテンコールにも

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

どこまでも

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

この身任せて

いつの間に傷が埋まってく yeah

そこじゃ何から何までごった煮で

鬼も仏もおんなじ目

全て shut out どうかしてる？

俺らハナから大真面目

ふりほどいて来た

うしろ指ですら

むしろ追い風さ まだ足んねぇ

蛇に睨まれた

歴史の徒花

エデンにはまだ「空室あり」

あっという間 染められる

かと思えば熱が醒めていく

ちょっと待ってその前に

もうひと雫 Again

Falling, falling

螺旋状に堕ちてゆく摩天楼に

今 falling, falling

二人ぼっち気づかない

カーテンコールにも

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

どこまでも

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

この身任せて

いつの間に傷が埋まってく yeah

Again

Falling, falling

螺旋状に堕ちてゆく摩天楼に

今 falling, falling

二人ぼっち気づかない

カーテンコールにも

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

どこまでも

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

この身任せて

いつの間に傷が埋まってく

この血が冷めないうちに飲み干して

眩暈するほど気取って

取り留めない出会いに色付けて

この目が醒めないうちに憑り込んで

狭い空ごと突き抜けて falling

蜜の味二人ハマってく yeah
