[English]

I'm used to the chaos like a cataclysm

Mistaking this ordinary life for peace

Rambling coaster, being shaken around

What is it that I can't afford to lose?

Swallowed up by the concept of equality fundamentalism

Even my heart feels like an et cetera

I hate you, I love you, I have to say it properly

Or I'm no different from a doll

The crowds walking through the evening town

Look happy, look lonely

The contrast flies around the staff

Becoming song and rhythm

Marmalade and Sugar Song

Peanuts and Bitter Step

It's so sweet and bitter, I'm going dizzy

Let's keep the party going, heading southwest

It's going to be a night that surprises the whole world

I feel great, it's a chain reaction, reflecting

...

Shoved around by the platitudes of probability rationalism

Does our music become just a tool?

Look at me, don't turn your back on me

That's not a platitude

After the festival music

People still hyped up, people bursting into tears

Probably the same

But if I try to put it into words, it's the height of ineptitude

"This is the best!" Sugar Song

"This is happiness!" Bitter Step

Reflect the reason I can't die there

Even if you begrudge it

Tomorrow will come at a constant speed

If you achieve an update

Of the weather forecast in your brain

...

Someday, even if the frenzy quiets down

Someday, even if platitudes lose their meaning

Feeling song and step

The only thing we can do is keep playing

Becomes the proof that makes us who we are

Q.E.D!

Marmalade and Sugar Song

Peanuts and Bitter Step

Reflect the reason for living there

Northeast by north is behind us, that distance is something to be proud of

Let's keep surprising the whole world

Marmalade and Sugar Song

Peanuts and Bitter Step

It's so sweet and bitter, I'm going dizzy

Let's keep the party going, heading southwest

It's going to be a night that surprises the whole world

I feel great, it's a chain reaction, reflection

Goes on, one pleasure gone, one hardship gone, and another pleasure again

...

[Japanese]

超天変地異みたいな狂騒にも慣れて

こんな日常を平和と見間違う

Rambling coaster 揺さぶられながら

見失えないものは何だ？

平等性原理主義の概念に飲まれて

心までが まるでエトセトラ

大嫌い 大好き ちゃんと喋らなきゃ

人形とさして変わらないし

宵街を行く人だかりは

嬉しそうだったり 寂しそうだったり

コントラストが五線譜を飛び回り

歌とリズムになる

ママレード and シュガーソング

ピーナッツ and ビターステップ

甘くて苦くて目が回りそうです

南南西を目指してパーティを続けよう

世界中を驚かせてしまう夜になる

I feel 上々 連鎖になってリフレクト

蓋然性合理主義の正論に揉まれて

僕らの音楽は道具に成り下がる？

こっちを向いてよ 背を向けないでよ

それは正論にならないけど

祭囃子のその後で

昂ったままの人 泣き出してしまう人

多分同じだろう

でも言葉にしようものなら稚拙が極まれり

最高だってシュガーソング

幸せってビターステップ

死ねない理由をそこに映し出せ

惜しがったって

等速で明日は来ちゃうけど

脳内天気予報の

アップデートを果たしたなら

Someday 狂騒が息を潜めても

Someday 正論に意味がなくなっても

Feeling song and step

鳴らし続けることだけが

僕たちを僕たちたらしめる証明になる

Q.E.D!

ママレード and シュガーソング

ピーナッツ and ビターステップ

生きてく理由をそこに映し出せ

北北東は後方へ その距離が誇らしい

世界中を 驚かせ続けよう

ママレード and シュガーソング

ピーナッツ and ビターステップ

甘くて苦くて目が回りそうです

南南西を目指してパーティを続けよう

世界中を驚かせてしまう夜になる

I feel 上々 連鎖になってリフレクション

Goes on 一興去って 一難去って また一興
