[English]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Homunculus

...

Since we're here, go ahead and give my shoulders a massage, darling

Even if it's small, it gradually starts to simmer and boil over

It inspires that

One, Two, Three, detonator’s ready, alright

Four, the opening begins, detonate, long live liberation

Three, Two, One, High! Detonate, barriers collapse

Let's go, cheers! I'm filled with energy

That is the homunculus, awakening with unrest

Clear, muddled, the arrival of the uncertain

Homunculus, heading toward the wind's eye

Start walking, leaving behind memories and reckless thoughts

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Almost taking it, getting fired up, temporarily run away

Right now, I'll give your shoulders a massage, darling

Acne flash, wandering → conclusion, safely misunderstood way

Feeling off track, but I’m not discouraged yet by this

One, Two, Three, detonation ready, alright

Four, the start begins, detonate, long live liberation

Three, Two, One, High! Detonate, barriers fall apart

Let's go, cheers! I’ve arrived

This is the homunculus, awakening with unrest

Clear, muddled, the coming of uncertainty

Homunculus, heading toward the wind’s eye

Start walking, leaving behind memories and reckless ideas

Why does my heart feel fulfilled

Are you trying to shake it off

Hey, it hurts, right?

That I love you so much, it’s almost overwhelming

That staying like this is beautiful, forever pretending

One more time, words hold power

I saw a future filled with hope in that place

More important than just confirming each other

Is feeling warm and connected

More than just trying to break free

Falling so foolishly, immersing myself completely

More than merely walking together sometimes, it’s important

More than just holding each other

I want to see a future where we feel warmth

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Homunculus

...

[Japanese]

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

ホムンクルス

「せっかくだからそうね 肩でも揉んでダーリン」

小さくても次第にグツグツ煮立って終いにゃ

それを鼓舞する

イチ・ニー・サン 起爆上等 alright

ヨン で開幕 起爆 解放万歳

サン・ニー・イチ・ハイ！ 起爆 障壁崩壊

行くぜ喝采 気は満ちた

あれはホムンクルス 目覚めたる不穏に

晴れ 濁す 不確かの到来

ホムンクルス 風の目の方に

歩き出す 脱 言念 且つ自暴論

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

ギリ奪取 いきりたつ 一時 run away

今肩でも揉むよダーリン

ニキビ flash 迷走→帰結 無事誤解のway

Feeling 脱線 but まだこんなんじゃ懲りない

イチ・ニー・サン 起爆上等 alright

ヨン で開幕 起爆 解放万歳

サン・ニー・イチ・ハイ！ 起爆 障壁崩壊

行くぜ喝采 俺が来た

これがホムンクルス 目覚めたる不穏に

晴れ 濁す 不確かの到来

ホムンクルス 風の目の方に

歩き出す 脱 言念 且つ自暴論

どうして心満たして

振り払おうとしてるんだろう

ねぇ痛いでしょ

て 参ってしまうほど あなたを愛してしまったって

このままが美しいと 飾ったままで

言霊をもう一度

希望抱くほどの未来 そこに見たんだよ

確かめ合うかより（大切で）

思い合えるより（温かくて）

振り剥がせるかより

愚かに 浸ってしまうほど

時に 歩み合うかより（大切で）

抱きしめ合えるより

温かく思う未来見たいんだよ

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
