[English]

Can you see huh?

A drop that fell in, drip

Infuses with my transparent self

Keep on moving like nothing happened

Impurities show you my impurities

Want it more like a witch

Show you the real me the light growing dark red

Intensely sparkling glittery things

Impurities show you my impurities

Slowly walk forward over the border

Deep signs of desires engulfed in darkness

Walk through the brambles covered in cuts

So natural invincible

Ooh yeah don’t wanna hide

Ooh yeah be bold and fight

Covered in scars Hard opaque

So natural beautiful

I can see my desire focused crisp

So here’s my key

It’s okay no matter what you say

Can you see huh?

A drop that fell in, drip

Infuses with my transparent self

Keep on moving like nothing happened

Impurities show you my impurities

Want it more like a witch

Show you the real me the light growing dark red

Intensely sparkling glittery things

Impurities show you my impurities

Goodness or badness

It’s magic or tragic

Though I get hurt try it oh

My heart’s glowing crimson

Within me a raging passion

Proofs of my adventures like a necklace

They make me shine

I can see countless destinations

So here’s my key

It’s okay no matter what you say

Can you see huh?

A drop that fell in, drip

Infuses with my transparent self

Keep on moving like nothing happened

Impurities show you my impurities

Want it more like a witch

Show you the real me the light growing dark red

Intensely sparkling glittery things

Impurities show you my impurities

My blood red desire’s deepening

Don’t know where they’ll take me, my wishes

I’m beautiful with my scratches

Just because it’s what I am

Power stronger in adversity

I’m not afraid of the overwhelming shadow

I’ll have it all, what I desire

Just because it’s what I am

Can you see huh?

A drop that fell in, drip

Infuses with my transparent self

Keep on moving like nothing happened

Impurities show you my impurities

Want it more like a witch

Show you the real me the light growing dark red

Intensely sparkling glittery things

Impurities show you my impurities
