Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

潜んでる街に　月が妖しく　傾いて昇る

The moon mysteriously rises and tilts in the hidden city.

きっと今夜　何か起こる

Surely something will happen tonight.

別々に持ち寄った寂しさに

In the loneliness each of us brought along separately,

愛なんてくだらない名前つけて

We give it a silly name like love,

誤魔化して　何になる？

Pretending, what’s the use?

すべて捨ててきた

I’ve thrown everything away.

心なんて　愛なんて　生きる邪魔をするだけ

My heart, my love, just gets in the way of living.

もしも叶うなら

If only it could come true...

ろくでもない俺を消してくれ

Please erase the worthless me.

憂いで沈みそうな　その目で見ないで

Don’t look with those eyes that seem to sink into sorrow.

近づけば　この心が　壊れてしまうから

If you come closer, my heart will break.

愛は要らない　知らない　孤独でいたい　消えたい

I don’t need love. I don’t want to know it. I want to stay lonely, I want to disappear.

見つめれば　いつだって　悲しみの魔法に押し殺されてく

When I gaze, I’m always overwhelmed by a magic of sadness.

愛？　知らない　それでも未来　消さない

Love? I don’t know it. But still, I won’t erase the future.

せめて今

At least, just for now...

君はこの嘘を見抜いて…

You see through this lie...

Blah Blah

Blah Blah

もつれた嘘

tangled lies,

絡まる有象無象の人の業で濁る希望

Hope muddied by the tangled mess of people’s greed.

本当の愛に触れられたら

If I could touch true love...

逃れられない深い闇が

Deep darkness from which I can’t escape

砕け散って　終わってしまえばいい…

Would shatter and end everything...

愛は要らない　知らない　孤独でいたい　消えたい

I don’t need love. I don’t know it. I want to be lonely, I want to disappear.

見つめれば　いつだって　悲しみの魔法に押し殺されてく

When I gaze, I’m always overwhelmed by a magic of sadness.

愛？　知らない　それでも未来　消さない

Love? I don’t know it. But still, I won’t erase the future.

せめて今

At least, just for now...

君はこの嘘を見抜いて

You see through this lie...

君だけはどうか気づいて…

Please, just be the one to notice...

Blah Blah

Blah Blah
