Lyrics & Translation
Mistaking this everyday peace for harmony
Rambling coaster, being shaken up
What is it that I can't lose?
Swallowed by the principle of equality and fundamentalism
Even my heart feels like just another et cetera
I hate it, I love it, I have to talk honestly
I'm not that different from a doll
Crowds walking through the evening streets
Looking happy or lonely
Contrasts jump around the musical staff
Turning into song and rhythm
Marmalade and sugar song
Peanuts and bittersweet steps
Sweet and bitter, feeling dizzy
Let’s keep partying heading south-southwest
Tonight will be a night to astonish the world
I feel great, reflecting in a chain
Being pressed by the rationalism of probable certainty
Are our music become mere tools?
Look this way, don’t turn your back
It might not be the proper thing to say
After the festival music
People still hyped up, some start crying
Probably the same
But if we try to put it into words, it’s just amateurish
This is the best, sugar song
Happiness is a bittersweet step
Show the reason you can't die here
No matter how much you regret
Tomorrow will come at the same speed anyway
If your mental weather forecast
Gets an update
Someday, even if chaos takes a breather
Someday, even if rationality loses its meaning
Feeling song and step
Only continuing to play them
Will prove we are who we are
Q.E.D!
Marmalade and sugar song
Peanuts and bittersweet steps
Show the reason you’re alive
The north-northeast is behind, proud of the distance
Let’s keep surprising the whole world
Marmalade and sugar song
Peanuts and bittersweet steps
Sweet and bitter, feeling dizzy
Let’s keep partying heading south-southwest
Tonight will be a night to astonish the world
I feel great, reflecting in a chain
Goes on, a welcome comes after a hardship, then another welcome
