[English]

Let's hold hands, let's connect our blood

What will we see beyond the movie?

Once we leave the cinema, it's like magic

There's no such thing as a sparkling city

My feelings are a bit swollen, I'm confused

OL, zombie, vomit, celebrity, president, criminal

No matter what I become, I won't change

I just realized it again

Night, mirrors and such

Light, gazes and all

Sight, that's not it

Fight, my way of living

If you don't understand, it can't begin

Shinemagic, I'm a virgin's dream

Shinemagic, I'm a yankee's lover

Shinemagic, I'm a phantom killer

Shinemagic the girl, Shinemagic the girl

...

Even now, it's my girlhood

A trip I can't speak of even if my mouth splits

Transparency, truth and falsehood, influence

What will I become after winning?

The time spent in silence, feeling

Don't talk to me, I'll kill you

The lingering feeling continues to float

Happiness isn't limited

There's a part of me that wants to feel the sting of life

Night, it's painful

Light, the light pierces

Sight, in that place

Fight, resist

I'm told to die as I shine

Shinemagic, even if I lose in society

Shinemagic, I'm an angel here

Shinemagic, the magic means nothing

Shinemagic the girl, I'm going crazy

...

I must protect this thrill

I won't be a girl anymore

I must protect this thrill

Why did I run out of the room?

I must protect this thrill

Even if I abandon something

I must protect myself

Even if the one I love gets in the way

Wishing for an end filled with excitement and peace

Peace is the only thrill I have

Even if I run blindly towards the light

It's as if the world has been deceived about me

It starts to reach out to me

Am I the light? Am I magic? What a fool

Just a lump of flesh and blood

That's why we can fight together

Shinemagic, I can only shine here

Shinemagic, I'm only drawn here

Shinemagic, only my heart shines

Shinemagic the girl, Shinemagic the girl

Magic, I can't die, die magic

Doesn't work, doesn't affect, ZOC-chan

GIRL'S generation, generation

Generation, generation

Okay, leave it to me, I'll carry it with ease

I'll make you happy, just smile

ZOC generation's coming now

ZOC generation's coming now

...

[Japanese]

手を繋ごう 血を繋ごう

映画の先に何を見よう

シネマを出たら魔法のよう

街が煌めくなんてない

気がすこし腫れて 惑いは

OL ゾンビ 反吐 セレブ 大統領 犯罪者

何になったって 私は変わらないってこと

またわかってしまっただけ

Night 鏡とか

Light 視線とか

Sight そうじゃない

Fight 生き様を

わかってくれなきゃ 始まれない

Shinemagic 私が童貞の夢

Shinemagic 私がヤンキーのLover

Shinemagic 私が幻 Killer

Shinemagic the girl Shinemagic the girl

今だって 少女時代

口が裂けても言えぬ Trip

透明感 正偽 インフルエンス

勝ち抜いてだから 何になる？

黙って感じてる時間

話しかけないで殺すよ

余韻ふわふわ続くのが

幸せって限らないよ

ヒリヒリしたくて生きてるってとこあるしね

Night 苦しいな

Light 光刺す

Sight その場所で

Fight 抗って

輝くほど死ねと言われる

Shinemagic 世間的負けでも

Shinemagic こっちは天使ですし

Shinemagic 魔法意味ないほど

Shinemagic the girl イッちゃってんだな

このトキメキを守らなきゃ

私は少女じゃなくなるの

このトキメキを守らなきゃ

なんのため部屋を飛び出した

このトキメキを守らなきゃ

たとえ何かを見捨てても

私が私を守らなきゃ

愛する人が邪魔しても

終わりはときめき平和を願い

平和は唯一ながらのときめきで

光の方に目潰してひたすら走っても

私はどういうことだか世界が錯覚したかのように

私に手を伸ばし始める

私が光？私が魔法？アホか

ただの血と肉の塊

だから一緒に戦える

Shinemagic ここでしか 光れない

Shinemagic ここにしか 惹かれない

Shinemagic こころしか 光らない

Shinemagic the girl Shinemagic the girl

かませmagic 死ねないぜ死ねマジック

きかない効かない ZOCちゃん

GIRL'S generation', generation'

Generation', generation'

OKまかせろ余裕で背負って

幸せにしてやんよ笑ってな

ZOC generation's coming now

ZOC generation's coming now

Key Grammar Structures

• 私は変わらないってこと

  ➔ Using the negative form with "~ない" plus "って" to indicate reported speech or a thought

  ➔ The phrase "~ない" is a negative form in Japanese, and "って" is a casual quoting particle used to report speech or thoughts.

• 光を刺す

  ➔ Using the verb "刺す" (sasu) in the context of "光を刺す" meaning "to shine" or "to pierce with light"

  ➔ The verb "刺す" generally means "to stab" or "to pierce," but in poetic or figurative contexts like "光を刺す," it conveys the idea of "shining" or "piercing with light."

• 平和は唯一ながらのときめきで

  ➔ Using "ながらの" to indicate that something exists alongside or with a certain quality, in this case "のみながらのときめき" meaning "only as a fleeting excitement"

  ➔ The expression "ながらの" is a classical structure used to denote that something features or exists alongside another quality or state.

• 死ねないぜ死ねマジック

  ➔ Using the negative potential form "死ねない" (cannot die) with emphasis "ぜ" for assertion, and the phrase "死ねマジック" as a slang/colloquial expression

  ➔ The phrase "死ねない" combines the potential form "死ねる" (can die) with a negative "ない" (not) to mean "cannot die." The particle "ぜ" adds emphasis, making the statement stronger. "死ねマジック" is a colloquial, somewhat provocative expression playing with the concept of death as a metaphor.
