[English]

Parting ways

Using a distance-taking method

For someone who chose kindness

Love is just a fantasy

A quick fix for someone like you

It’s truly beautiful, but I can’t believe it, it’s ridiculous

Fine, I don’t mind, now’s the time

Turn against me, go ahead

I’ll say it—this love is unbearable

Expose your true feelings, burn it all down

Come on, show your naked body, push deeper

This world is just for appearances, burn it all away

I don’t need sweet words, just stay silent

...

Cut your dissatisfaction into tiny pieces

To a size you can't notice

While we’re talking, I fed it to you

Because your anger is too weak to ignite a fire

Serves you right—you can’t fight back

Quick, pull out your lighter from your pocket

早くポッケから出してライター

Your oil is run out

Nothing can be changed—that’s what love is

See through a man's aesthetic, burn it all

Everyone's pretending to be good people

Love is just a pretense, burn it all away

I don’t need to say I love you, just stay silent

...

After all, this world is love

Anyway, it’s definitely love

Just believe in it—love

What else can you do?

Shut up, I don’t care

Love is just formal manners

Gaze with an aesthetic eye

...

Expose your true feelings, burn it all down

Come on, show your naked body, push deeper

I’m just a replacement woman, a substitute

I don’t need to say I love you, just stay silent

I don’t need sweet words, just stay silent

...

[Japanese]

別れの段取り

距離を取るメソッドに

優しさ選んだあんたにとって

愛なんてファンタジー

その場しのぎあんたに

真の美ある訳ないのに呆れちゃうわ

良いぜ 構わん この際だ

敵に回ってちょうだい

言うぜ 耐えられん 何が愛だ

貴方の本音を暴いて いっぱい燃やして

ほら全裸を晒して もっと奥突いて

世は建前なんで いっぱい燃やして

綺麗事なんて要らねぇ 黙って

不満を微塵切り

バレない位のサイズに

それを会話の最中に

食べさせたんだ あんたに

責め立てるには火の根が弱いから

ざまぁみろ あんたは言い返せない

早くポッケから出してライター

油空っぽ状態

何も変えられん それが愛だ

男の審美を見抜いて いっぱい燃やして

皆いい子のフリして生きてんだって

愛は建前なんで いっぱい燃やして

愛してるなんて要らねぇ 黙って

この世はやっぱり愛だ

とにかくやっぱり愛だ

信じてやってよ 愛だ

じゃなきゃどうすんの

うるせぇよ そんなの知るか

愛は所詮フォーマルだ

見つめて 審美の眼で

貴方の本音を暴いて いっぱい燃やして

ほら全裸を晒して もっと奥突いて

私は代わりの女ね 代わりの女ね

愛してるなんて要らねぇ 黙って

綺麗事なんて要らねぇ 黙って
