Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

神さまが 気まぐれと不公平を唱えても

Even if God proclaims randomness and unfairness

気に入らないから 関係ないね

I don't care because I don't like it

稼いで使って 好きなら好きなだけ

Earn and spend; if you like it, do as much as you want

世の中だなんて安い手品に拍手はしたくないし

I don't want applause for cheap magic tricks in this world

種明かしだって聞きたくはないね

I don't even want to hear the reveal

さぁ歌って踊って そう あとは睨むだけ

Come on, sing and dance, yeah, then just glare

おままごとはもうおしまい

The silly games are over now

ギャラもないのにキャラは演じない

No paycheck, no acting in a character

これが最後の晩餐だって

This is the last supper

冷えた皿は突き返して

Send the cold plate back

テーブルクロスを翻し

Throw the tablecloth into the wind

はじまらないからはじめた それだけ

Because there's no point in starting without beginning, that's all

何も怖くもないのに怯えてはいられないでしょう？

Even if I'm not afraid of anything, I can't keep trembling, right?

ここまで来たら帰れない 心は誰も計れない

Once you've come this far, you can't go back. No one can measure the heart

はじまらないなら いつしかくたばるその前に

If it doesn't start, before I fall apart someday

選ばれないことには慣れていたよ ずっとずっと

I've grown used to not being chosen, again and again

持て余す心 くすぶるばかりで

My restless mind just smolders, unable to find peace

それでも消しずみで描き続けたんだ

Still, I keep drawing with fading ink

おままごとはもうおしまい

The silly games are over now

ガラじゃないからタダじゃ帰さない

I won't leave for free because it's not my style

これが最後の晩餐だって

This is the last supper

美味しいものが食べたいね

I want to eat something delicious

自分のクロスを握りしめて

Clutching my own tablecloth

どんな時でも 大丈夫にしちゃうぞ

I’ll make everything okay, no matter when

可愛くおこりんぼ すてきに楽しく稼ご！

Cute and grumpy, let's earn happily and wonderfully!

火を噴くハイヒール

Spewing heels of fire

突き刺し Just like this

Pierce right through, just like this

アダムとイヴのハイブリッド

A hybrid of Adam and Eve

放つ「はいチーズ！」

Say ‘Cheese!’ with a flash

ピース ピース ピース

Peace, peace, peace

好きな人とキス

Kiss the person I love

いつか R I P

Someday R.I.P.

だから L I P

So, L.I.P.

黒白黄色 その奥の虹色

Black, white, yellow, and beyond—rainbow colors

まぁ色々あるけど

Well, there are various things, but

行く先は (Introduction) ばら色

The destination is (Introduction) a rosy hue

はじまらないからはじめた それだけ

Because I started without it beginning, that's all

何も怖くもないのに

Even if I’m not afraid of anything

怯えてはいられないでしょう？

I can't be trembling forever, right?

はじまらないからはじめた それだけ

Because I started without it beginning, that's all

何も怖くもないのに 怯えてはいられないでしょう？

Even if I’m not afraid of anything, I can't keep trembling, right?

ここまで来たら帰れない 心は誰も計れない

Once you've come this far, you can't go back. No one can measure the heart

はじまらないなら いつしかくたばるその前に

If it doesn't start, before I fall apart someday
