Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

貫いて この心を 思い切り突き刺して

Pierce through this heart, stab it with all your might

火照ったままで 知らぬふりはもうやめて

Still heated, let's stop pretending we don't know

暇つぶしには飽きたのよ

I'm tired of killing time

纏ったビニールを脱がせたいの

I want to take off the vinyl I've wrapped myself in

お前の思惑から無邪気に抜け出して

Innocently breaking free from your intentions

"さよなら、愛を込めて"

"Goodbye, with love"

気の済むまで暴れなよ

Go wild until you're satisfied

哀れだろ？ むしゃくしゃするぜ

Isn't it pitiful? It frustrates me

喧騒に上がる煙に飛び込んでいくだけさ

I just dive into the smoke rising from the chaos

「遊びがないの あなたには」

“You have no playtime”

なんて適当に言葉侍らせて

Saying words so casually

喧騒に上がる煙に薪をくべろ

Throw more fuel into the smoke rising from the chaos

...

...

今日も軽やかなステップで

Today, let's move with a light step

騙し騙し生きて行こうじゃないか

Let's live by deceiving and being deceived

真っ暗な明日を欺いてさ

Deceiving the pitch-black tomorrow

誰に向けたナイフなの？ 何に突き動かされてる？

Whose knife is aimed at? What drives you?

苦しいだけの"現実"はもう止めて

Let's stop this painful "reality"

"さよなら、愛を込めて"

"Goodbye, with love"

息を吸いなよ

Take a breath

この街の 有り余るほどの空気を

Of the abundant air in this city

焦れったいビニールの中から

If you break free from the frustrating vinyl

ストリートへ抜け出たなら

And escape to the street

遊びきるんだ この世界

Let's play through this world

喧騒 狂乱に 雨あられ

Chaos, frenzy, rain and hail

掻っ攫ったもん勝ちでしょ？

It's a win for whoever snatches it, right?

さよなら 愛を込めて

Goodbye, with love

思いの丈を着飾って

Dressing up my feelings

どんちゃん騒ぎのナイトクラブから

From the noisy nightclub

さよなら 愛を込めて

Goodbye, with love

思いの丈を着飾って

Dressing up my feelings

繋いだその手は離さないで

Don't let go of the hand we've joined

...

...

意図するなよ

Don't intend anything

この身など博打だろ

This body is just a gamble

清々するぜ

It's refreshing

激動 時代の坩堝へ

Just diving into the crucible of this turbulent era

飛び込んでゆくだけさ

That's all I'm doing

"遊びじゃないのよ 貴女とは"

"It's not just a game with you"

なんて嘘で固めたこの夜なら

If this night is built on lies

冗談もご愛嬌でしょ？

Even jokes are charming, right?

暴れ回れよ 哀れだろ？

Go wild, isn't it pitiful?

むしゃくしゃするぜ

It frustrates me

喧騒に上がる煙に

I just dive into the smoke rising from the chaos

飛び込んでいくだけさ

Let's play through this world

遊びきるんだ この世界

Chaos, frenzy, rain and hail

喧騒 狂乱に 雨あられ

喧騒 狂乱に 雨あられ

最後の最後には

In the end

ニヤリと笑ってみせる

I'll show a sly smile

...
