[English]

Real emotions, no think!

Pretending not to notice?

Absolute truth and falsehood intertwined

That's how the safe spaces diminish

Selling off my wounds

Screaming weakly, disgracefully

Recommended for you! The ultimate escape

Eventually, will those caught in the sweet trap be saved?

In this world, it's no longer sane to carry on

Is the optimal solution to surrender while pretending not to know?

A bouquet adorned with words, if it steals the heart, is it real?

Inviting you to phenomena that seem to dye everything

Farewell!

The fragility crafted for this era

Deceived by a true performance, the incessant beating of a noisy heart

The remaining lives have long since run out, durability wearing thin

Living while dodging the phenomena before me, I'm barely managing!

Someone, help me

"You are getting sleepier," a shallow hypnosis

Head, body, wrapped in smoke, could it be, deceiving many!?

Coins swaying before my eyes, becoming still in the distance

"This is fine," even deceiving myself, shut down

"You are getting sleepier," a shallow hypnosis

Head, body, wrapped in smoke, could it be, deceiving many!?

Coins swaying before my eyes, becoming still in the distance...

No matter how much I survive today, it's an unrewarded everyday

Continuing in a cycle like a bot, living in inertia

If there's no luck or hope, it can't be helped even more

If something's not there, accept it and compete with the leftovers, that's fate

The fragility crafted for this era

Deceived by a true performance, the incessant beating of a noisy heart

Praise has lost its meaning, false charisma

If you stare too much at reality, you'll go blind!

So, in moderation, you know

...

[Japanese]

実際の感情はno think!

気付かないフリ？

絶対的な虚実と心中

そうやって減っていく安置

傷の切り売り

脆く叫ぶ、醜態

そんなあなたにオススメ！最高級の逃避行

やがて、甘美な罠に 釣られたものから救われる？

もはや正気の沙汰では やっていけないこの娑婆じゃ

敢えて素知らぬ顔で 身を任せるのが最適解？

言葉で飾った花束も 心を奪えば、本物か？

全てが染まっていくような 事象にご招待

さらば！

こんな時代に誂えた 見て呉れの脆弱性

本当の芝居で騙される 矢鱈と煩い心臓の鼓動

残機は疾うにないなっている 擦り減る耐久性

目の前の事象を躱しつつ 生きるので手一杯！

誰か、助けてね

「あなた段々眠くなる」浅はかな催眠術

頭、身体、煙に巻く まさか、数多誑かす!?

目の前で揺らぐ硬貨 動かなくなる彼方

「これでいいんだ」自分さえも騙し騙しshut down

「あなた段々眠くなる」浅はかな催眠術

頭、身体、煙に巻く まさか、数多誑かす!?

目の前で揺らぐ硬貨 動かなくなる彼方...

どんなに今日を生き抜いても 報われぬeveryday

もうbotみたいなサイクルで 惰性の瞬間を続けているのだ

運も希望も無いならば 尚更しょうがねえ

無いもんは無いで、諦めて 余物で勝負するのが運命

こんな時代に誂えた 見て呉れの脆弱性

本当の芝居で騙される 矢鱈と煩い心臓の鼓動

賛美はもう意味ないなっている 偽のカリスマ性

現実を直視しすぎると 失明しちゃうんだ！

だから、適度にね
