[English]

Welcome to this place, where everyone is watching

How are you doing?

No matter how you struggle, you can't go home until you die.

Like a cat laughing inside, you're already so soaked

At the sound of a voice echoing, pricking up your ears

Like a squirrel, as if being killed, as if being kept alive

I will love you until you overflow

Beauty is...

...trembling like a dream

Is eternal

Yes, this place from within a dream has appeared

A gentle mask...

Right? Where did the clouds go? Without even noticing

Leaving it all behind, Maryanne runs, the pressure begins again

Singing from the start, when the lies cover everything no one can see

The face behind the mask is revealed

As if melting, as if being wounded, fighting for the feast

If you want those three things, then lick the human's

Heart

Offer it up

Is...

As if being killed, as if being kept alive, in this madness

This love is so overwhelming that I...

[Japanese]

Welカムtotheここでは誰もが見

たらHowareユテパム

どうせいても無駄死ぬまで帰れない。

君な猫が中で笑う。こんなにも濡れてる

じゃないか。の響く声に外耳を立てまるで

リスのように殺さるように生かさるように

こぼれるまで愛してあげる

平は美

もやがているのように膝く

は久

そう、これは夢の中の場所が出てきた

優しい仮面り

ね。雲のままはどこ?それも気づかずに

おいてしてメアリアンは走る押しがまた

からと歌う誰も見うそれ嘘を塗りつす時

仮面の裏が見える

溶かさるように怪我るようにしよくを勝つ

花そのこの3つが欲しいなら人もちをなめ

た心臓

捧げ

は

殺さるように生かさるようにこの狂気の

愛ちまるほど私
