Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

チウニング狂わされて

Driven mad by the tuning

全身に違和が残る

A sense of discomfort lingers all over

十年前のモワトリックの衝撃は

The shock of the Moetric from ten years ago

今や鼓膜を撃つ気配すらない

Now there's not even a hint that strikes the eardrum

自らの欲望と喪失も

Both my desires and losses

また同じように壊れてゆくのだ

Are breaking apart in the same way again

眼球を逸らさないで

Don't look away from your eyes

現実に耳を澄ませ

Listen closely to reality

全人類がシステマチックに則って

All of humanity follows a systematic path

美学が科学に慄いているのだ

Aesthetics tremble in the face of science

正しさが戸を塞ぐ密室で

In a sealed room where righteousness blocks the door

四壁を爆破する芸術を

Art that blows up the four walls

ずっと 膝を抱えて待っている

I've been waiting all this time, hugging my knees

何か足りない 何が足りない

Something's missing, what is missing?

答は剥き出しの本能

The answer is raw instinct

鳴らせ 雨の降る街へ

Sound the call, to the rain-soaked city

喉を枯らせ 麻痺するくらいに

Raspy throat, to the point of numbness

それはまるで 祈りに似たハルシネイト

It's like a hallucination resembling a prayer

何億光年だって泳ぐ夢

A dream that swims for billions of light-years

冷凍室逃れたくて

Wanting to escape the freezer

現状に疑義を抱く

Questioning the current situation

何時かはきっと

Someday, surely

コントロールが効かなくなる

Control will slip away

鼓動の音が失速する その前に

Before the sound of the heartbeat loses speed

鳴らせ 雨の降る街へ

Sound the call, to the rain-soaked city

夜を伸ばせ まぶしいくらいに

Stretch the night, to the point of dazzling

それはまるで 祈りに似たハルシネイト

It's like a hallucination resembling a prayer

アンコールはない今夜限定の人生

No encore, a life limited to tonight

...

...

自分の眼だけに射した

I want to love the light that shines only in my eyes

ひかりを愛していたい

I don't want to lose even one more

これ以上はもう

To the sound of the rain pouring down

一つも失いたくはない

As if to be drowned out

降り頻る雨の音に

I want to sing and carve it here

掻き消されるように

I want to leave it behind so I won't forget

歌をうたって此処に刻んで

No matter what sadness it brings

忘れないよう残していたいよ

Sound the call, to the rain-soaked city

どんな悲しみもずっと

どんな悲しみもずっと

鳴らせ 雨の降る街へ

Raspy throat, to the point of numbness

喉を枯らせ 麻痺するくらいに

It's like a hallucination resembling a prayer

それはまるで 祈りに似たハルシネイト

A dream that swims for billions of light-years

何億光年だって泳ぐ夢

Until it reaches your hearing

君の聴覚に届くまで

...

...
