Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

産声を上げてすぐに迷路

Right after the first cry, a maze

違う性能で共に潜るゲート

Gates we dive into with different abilities

一つでも順位をあげようと

Trying to rise even one rank

蹴落とされた肢体をキラキラと照らすネオン

Neon lights shining on the fallen body

上手に生きる芸当は笑顔と媚びとヘイト

The art of living well is a smile, flattery, and hate

悪魔とデートしなきゃ手に入らない名誉

Honor that can't be obtained without dating the devil

子どもの頃教えられた道徳とか法則

The morals and laws taught in childhood

が当てにならないのは教えた先生こそ証拠

Are proven unreliable by the very teachers who taught them

ほら見ろ枠から外れたあぶれた落ちぶれた

Look, those who fell out of the frame, those who are left behind

叩かれたくなきゃハナから目立つな喋るなと仕向けた

If you don't want to be hit, from the start, don't stand out, don't speak

叩く側に回れば勝ちって正義のバッジを付けた

If you join the side that hits, you wear the badge of justice

Bang魔女裁判焦げた網のフレーバー

Bang, witch trial, the flavor of burnt nets

膨張する同調圧力、常識、被疑者はもう重症

Expanding pressure to conform, common sense, the suspect is already severely injured

嗚呼、狂信者達よ、ねぇそれなんて新興宗教？

Ah, fanatics, hey, what kind of new religion is that?

信じたものしか救わない、否、 信じるものすら救わない 神さまに

Only what you believe will save you, no, - not even what you believe will save you from God

それでも今日もすがるのさ ああ有り難い

Still, today I cling on, ah, how grateful

〜♪〜

〜♪〜

どうしたらいいの？

What should I do?

ご存知なら何卒ヒントを

If you know, please give me a hint

リアルを汚す蜃気楼

A mirage that dirties reality

だとしても何よりの希望

Even so, it's the greatest hope

残された呼吸は瞬きはあとどのくらいだ？

How much longer do the remaining breaths and blinks last?

毎朝毎晩過ごす時間が処刑台へ上る階段

The time spent every morning and night is the staircase to the gallows

このムードがいつまで続くか怖くて見てられない

I'm scared to see how long this mood will last

一方通行で来たから落した物すら覚えてない

Since I came in a one-way street, I don't even remember what I dropped

何を食べて 何吐き出した？

What did I eat, and what did I spit out?

誰かが言う生きてるだけマシだ

Someone says just living is better

人が人を語るなど間違いと人に語る矛盾の谷間

It's a mistake for people to talk about people, a contradiction in the valley of speaking to others

「地獄がどこかもわかりゃしないけれど ここよりかいくらか生きやすそうだね」と

“I don't know where hell is, but - it seems easier to live than here,” they say

涙を浮かべたアイツの影を踏み笑う人々 がぶつける反吐

People laughing while stepping on the shadow of that teary-eyed one - spitting back

病むとか闇こそYum Yum Yummy

Sickness and darkness are Yum Yum Yummy

何が一体そうさせたのかい？

What on earth made it so?

かく言う僕も変わりゃしない人を裁くなら 神に任せたらいい

I too, if judging others, should leave it to God

幸せな生き方のガイダンスとか大体共通する価値観

Guidance for a happy way of living generally shares common values

端から作る神さまにはみ出した迷子の裁判

A trial for the lost child who strayed from the God made from the start

Guilty？Not Guilty？

Guilty? Not Guilty?

まだせいぜい何百万年かの新人

Still just a newcomer for a few million years at most

にどうか教えてくれHow we live？

Please teach me how we live?

〜♪〜

〜♪〜
