[English]

Joy to the world

We’ve already lost our sanity long ago

From where to where is “I”

Going underground

Today, we’re still inside the showcase

Waiting for something—“Love”

Join me to the world

We are the fuel being consumed

Expanding energy

Boy meets girl

In this approved world of ours

Traveling through locked chambers

Inside the hole, in the sand, in the cage, inside the mirror

Inside the box, in the sky, inside the Chi (Kai)

Walking through it—two days, three days, four, five, six, seven

I know that, I know that, I know that

I know that I don’t know that

How are you feeling upon waking up?

The nesting doll of delusion and reason

When the butterflies flutter, a storm is a sign

Looping repeatedly, an immaculate logic

The ribbon on the uniform—an obsessive order

The purge system, a trick of the closed chamber

Planet Tantra

“Hi”

Join me to the world

We’ve already lost our sanity long ago

From where to where?

Join me to the world

We are the fuel being consumed

Expanding energy

Boy meets girl

In this approved world of ours

Traveling through the locked chamber

Joy to the world

We’ve already lost our sanity long ago

From where to where?

[Japanese]

Joy to the world

僕らはとうに正気を失くして

どこからどこまでが「I」

Going underground

僕らは今日もショーケースの中で

なにかを待っている「愛」

Join me to the world

僕らは消費されていく燃料

膨張するエネルギー

Boy meets girl

僕らは承認された世界の

密室を旅してる

穴の中の砂の中の檻の中の鏡の中

箱の中の空の中のχ(カイ)の中を

歩く二日三日四日五日六日七日なのか

I know that I know that I know that

I know that I don't know that

おめざめの気分はいかがでしょう

妄想と道理のマトリョーシカ

蝶々が羽ばたけば嵐のきざしだ

再三ループして無欠のロジック

制服のリボンは秩序のホリック

粛清システムは密室のトリック

惑星タ ントラ

「Hi」

Join me to the world

僕らはとうに正気を失くして

どこからどこまでが？

Join me to the world

僕らは消費されていく燃料

膨張するエネルギー

Boy meets girl

僕らは承認された世界の

密室を旅してる

Joy to the world

僕らはとうに正気を失くして

どこからどこまでが？
