Lyrics & Translation
Down, down, down
Deep beneath
To Wonderland?
Eyes, eyes, eyes, scrutinizing and judging people
Until my tangled body rots away
Dressing up, deceiving each other, adornments and lies
Hating jealousy and spite without pain
Cut, paste, wrap, peel off
Damaged and crawling
Just droning on, living a dull life
Cannot be fulfilled, not enough
Yeah, I'll be a flower
So, m-m-m-mimesis
Decorate with beautiful lies
I'll be a flower
So, m-m-m-mimesis
Make myself feel alive
Yeah, I'll be a flower
So, m-m-m-mimesis
I want to fall beautifully
Love-hate
Love me, Love my life
Behaving sweetly, boldly selling myself
I hate those eyes, they make me sick
Do you want my true feelings? Or do you accept my pain?
Is there anything more beautiful than something fake?
Ah, I can't forgive, I can't forgive
All of this
Everything I can't forgive
Ah, don't look, find me
I don't want to be understood
Expose, expose everything, even what's behind my heart
It's not pitiful
The way I love or my ideals are just a little different
Can't you see?
It's not 'Better than that,'
It's 'Only I' that I want
Yeah, I'll be a flower
So, m-m-m-mimesis
Being fooled by beautiful lies?
I'll be a flower
So, m-m-m-mimesis
Feeling like it's okay to live
Yeah, I'll be a flower
So, m-m-m-mimesis
Lies are okay
Because they're just lies!
Love-hate
Love me, Love my lie
Down, down, down
Deep beneath
To Wonderland?
Underground
