Red Criminal

• By: THE ORAL CIGARETTES

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

現実のcrime

The crime of reality

For heaven's sake

For heaven's sake

偽りも受け入れる

I accept the lies

幻想の永遠を

The eternity of illusions

重ね消えてく

Fades away as I layer it

完全にないさ

It's completely gone

I get sick

I get sick

振り向いた少女は

The girl who turned around

一瞬の世界に

Drops a miracle in an instant world

奇跡を落としてく

Did you lie?

Did you lie?

Did you lie?

Did you lie?

Did you lie?

Spit the venom

Spit the venom

I know why

I know why

見つけたんだ 絶頂のgame

I found the peak of the game

Red criminal gets life (gets life)

Red criminal gets life (gets life)

I've never been in love (in love)

I've never been in love (in love)

いつから僕はこんな世界に嫌気がさした

Since when did I start to dislike this world?

We will fly (will fly)

We will fly (will fly)

Someday I won't be crying (won't crying)

Someday I won't be crying (won't crying)

もう傷つけないようにずっと自分を

I kept sacrificing myself

犠牲にしてた

So I wouldn't hurt anymore

...

...

誠実平等

Sincerity and equality

自尊の象徴

A symbol of self-respect

奪い合った

Fighting over

繊細な愛を

Delicate love

羅列したライオット

A riot of lists

挟み撃ちで壊して

Crushed in a pincer attack

Red criminal gets life (gets life)

Red criminal gets life (gets life)

I've never been in love (in love)

I've never been in love (in love)

いつから僕はこんな世界に嫌気がさした

Since when did I start to dislike this world?

We will fly (will fly)

We will fly (will fly)

Someday I won't be crying (won't crying)

Someday I won't be crying (won't crying)

もう傷つけないようにずっと自分を

I kept sacrificing myself

犠牲にしてた

So I wouldn't hurt anymore

...

...

Get down!

Get down!

Give it a try to go

Give it a try to go

Get down!

Get down!

今だ脳天ブロー

Now's the time for a brain blow

粋なfightin'さ

It's a stylish fight

Givin' a life and

Givin' a life and

感情がないやつは

Those without emotions

意味がない

Are meaningless

Get down!

Get down!

Give it a try to go

Give it a try to go

Get down!

Get down!

今だ脳天ブロー

Now's the time for a brain blow

粋なfightin'さ

Givin' a life and

Givin' a life and

感情がないやつは

Red criminal gets life

Red criminal gets life

I've never been in love

I've never been in love

気付けば僕はこんな世界の痛みも...

Before I knew it, I felt the pain of this world...

きっと

Surely

We will fly (will fly)

We will fly (will fly)

Someday I won't be crying (won't crying)

Someday I won't be crying (won't crying)

もう傷つけないようにずっと自分を

I kept sacrificing myself

犠牲にしてた

So I wouldn't hurt anymore

いつだって世界には

There's always something in the world

守っていけないものがある

That can't be protected

誰だって怖いのは

Everyone is scared

自分にしか分からないでしょ

Of what only they can understand

確かな答えだって

Even if there's a certain answer

気付けないなら それでいい

If you can't realize it, that's fine

もう傷つけやしないよ

I won't hurt anymore

狙い定め red criminal

Aiming for the target, red criminal
