[English]

Lonely, lonely

In this desolate emptiness

I rest my chin on my hand

I know it won't change, I get it

Oh, maybe

I'm just an ordinary mob

If you don't admit it, just scream until you rot

If heresy leans? Honestly

You can't live just on your true feelings

A life lying on the roadside

Surely suits me well

When I grow up, I'll blend in

Dancing with money and affection

One, two, three, and I burst out

Hitting fixed ideas with a bat

How about it? How about it?

If it's easy, then whatever

On the strings of a ready-made

Distorting and mixed with noise

Regret? Regret?

Stop it, just be quiet

On my tongue

Only bitter emotions ignite

...

Dirty, dirty

If I swallow my words, look

I’ll act like a good girl, watching your expression

Oh, baby

It's a love that starts to distort

With a custom-made

Brand, I wear it proudly

If I snap my fingers, the lowly

Outcasts are witch-hunted

With my nose held high, pretending to be a hero, it must be easy

Where is outside of society?

Screw money and affection

One, two, three, and I shattered

Painting established concepts bright red

In my head! In my head!

Mix it and keep laughing

For the prolongation of the ready-made

With a gate, bouncing off the noise

Problems! Problems!

Sing without solving

I’ve been shut in

Only dark emotions ignite

...

Hey? Look, it started again

I'm tired of just comparing

I don't want to become an adult

Ah, I'm a contrarian, just leave me alone

Me? I realized!

One, two, three, and I burst out

Hitting fixed ideas with a bat

How about it? How about it?

If it's easy, then whatever

On the strings of a ready-made

Distorting and mixed with noise

Regret? Regret?

Stop it, just be quiet

One, two, three, and I shattered

Painting established concepts bright red

In my head! In my head!

I was really crying

For the prolongation of the ready-made

With a gate, bouncing off the noise

Problems! Problems!

Sing without solving

On my tongue

Only bitter emotions ignite

...

[Japanese]

ロンリー ロンリー

寄る辺ない侘しさに

頬杖ついてる

ようじゃ変わらないわかってんだよ

Oh メイビー

ありふれたモブなんだって

認めてないならいっそ腐るまで叫んで

異端傾けば？赤裸々に

本音ばかりじゃ生きられない

路肩に寝転ぶ人生が

きっとお似合いだなあ

大人になれば溶け込んで

金と愛情で踊るのさ

One, two, three で弾け飛んだ

固定観念バットで打って

どうだい？どうだい？

楽ならまっいっか

レディメイドの琴線に

歪みかけてノイズ混じり

後悔？後悔？

やめて黙っていろ

舌に乗った

苦い感情ばかりが発火して

ダーティー ダーティー

言葉飲み込めばほら

いい子になるわよなんて顔色窺ってんだよ

Oh ベイビー

歪み出すラブなんだって

オーダーメイドの

ブランド身につけ威張って

舌を鳴らせば下種張りと

不適合者は魔女狩りさ

鼻高々にヒーローぶってきっと楽なんだなあ

社会の外は何処ですか？

金も愛情もクソくらえ

One, two, three で砕け飛んだ

既成概念真っ赤に塗って

脳内！脳内！

混ぜて笑っていろ

レディメイドの延命に

ゲイトかけてノイズはじき

問題！問題！

解かず歌っていろ

塞ぎ込んだ

黒い感情ばかりが発火して

ね？ほらまた始まった

比較ばかりで飽きたんだ

大人にだけはなりたくなんかない

ああ.天邪鬼なのほっといて

私？あたし！気付いたの

One, two, three で弾け飛んだ

固定観念バットで打って

どうだい？どうだい？

楽ならまっいっか

レディメイドの琴線に

歪みかけてノイズ混じり

後悔？後悔？

やめて黙っていろ

One, two, three で砕け飛んだ

既成概念真っ赤に塗って

脳内！脳内！

本当は泣いていた

レディメイドの延命に

ゲイトかけてノイズはじき

問題！問題！

解かず歌っていろ

舌に乗った

苦い感情ばかりが発火して
