[English]

I blurted it out, I want to stay by your side just a little longer.

No, no, extending this is a sin.

I'm sorry, please go home.

Carbon dioxide, your brain,

I want to drown in this muddy dream.

Even if you call me selfish, I'll just brush it off.

There's no future without worries.

I wish I could be reborn with that face.

I learned that even if you turn 'I hate you' inside out,

There's no 'I love you' hiding there.

This feeling I want to come true,

My heart, growing plump from too much dependence,

Let's strive for "Fat feelings → Slim".

Let's be like we were when we first met.

The utopia I envision,

This desperate wish will eventually bring relief.

But a love that's "alright"

Doesn't exist anywhere. That's why,

Delusional Sentiment Compensation League!

Holding onto love and shouting ideals,

The fool's melody with nowhere to go.

Retry, Reincarnation, Teleportation,

I'll keep repeating it countless times,

As endless love persists.

Love, oh no.

Love, oh no, love, oh no.

I've fallen.

Love, oh no, love, oh no.

Dara ra ra ra

Love, oh no, love, oh no.

I've fallen.

Love, oh no, love, oh no.

Dara ra ra ra

I tried hard with that uncontrollable selfishness.

Beyond fulfilling it, a mysterious narcissistic demon awaits.

Are you angry?

...Not angry.

A beat that shifts with my own breath.

If this were a movie or a drama,

I could endure until the staff credits roll,

But I'd never want to watch it again.

Even with its terribly bad plot.

But I end up believing in a love that's "alright".

That's why,

Also known as the Love-Hate Compensation Dilemma!

The ideal I protected by hating love

Starts to distort in just the right way.

It's the worst, it's just human lubricant anyway.

We keep hurting each other countless times,

The intertwining philosophy of love.

But I end up learning a lie like "It's alright".

That's why,

That's why,

Delusional Sentiment Compensation League!

Holding onto love and shouting ideals,

The fool's melody with nowhere to go.

Retry, Reincarnation, Teleportation,

I'll keep repeating it countless times,

As endless love persists.

Also known as the Love-Hate Compensation Dilemma!

The ideal I protected by hating love

Starts to distort in just the right way.

It's the worst, it's just human lubricant anyway.

We keep hurting each other countless times,

The intertwining philosophy of love.

[Japanese]

言っちゃった　もうちょっとだけ隣に居たい

いやいやまさか延長は罪

ごめんなさい　帰ってね

二酸化の炭素　君の脳

浸ってたいよ泥沼の夢に

身勝手だって言われてもペロリ

不安じゃない未来はない

その顔に生まれ変わりたいな

知っちゃった　大嫌いを裏返したとて

そこに大好きは隠れてないと

叶えたいこの想い

甘え過ぎ太る心周り

"ファット想い→スリム"を掲げよう

出逢った頃と同じ様になろう

思い描く理想郷

血走る願いはやがて安堵

だけど「大丈夫」なんて恋は

どこにもないの　だから

愛や厭　愛や厭

堕っちゃった

愛や厭　愛や厭

ダララララ

頑張った　どうしようもないその我儘

叶えた先にある謎自恋魔

怒ってる？

…怒ってない。

己が呼吸でズレるビート

これがもし映画やドラマなら

スタッフロールまでは乗り切れど

二度とは観たくない

酷すぎる起承転結も

だけど「大丈夫」なんて恋を

信じて仕舞うよ　だから

通称愛憎代償難題

愛を憎んで守った理想が

正しく歪み始めるの

最低じゃんどうせ対人ローション

何回だって傷付け合うんだ

混ざり合う愛の哲学

だけど「大丈夫」なんて嘘を

覚えて仕舞うの　だから

Key Grammar Structures

• 言っちゃった　もうちょっとだけ隣に居たい

  ➔ Verb + ちゃう / じゃう (casual contraction of -てしまう)

  ➔ This is a casual contraction of "-te shimau" (てしまう). It implies that an action has been completed, often with a nuance of regret, unintended completion, or finality. Here, "言っちゃった" means "I ended up saying (it)" or "I said (it), unfortunately."

• 身勝手だって言われてもペロリ

  ➔ Verb Passive + ても (even if/even though)

  ➔ The structure "Verb Passive + ても" expresses "even if/even though [something is done to me/it]". "言われても" comes from 「言う」(to say) in its passive form 「言われる」(to be said/told), followed by 「ても」(even if). So, "言われても" means "even if I am told". "身勝手だって" means "that I am selfish". The phrase implies "even if I am told I'm selfish, I'll just shrug it off."

• 不安じゃない未来はない

  ➔ Double negative (ない...ない)

  ➔ This is a double negative structure, literally "there is no future that is not anxious." In Japanese, a double negative often functions as a strong affirmation, meaning "every future is anxious" or "it's impossible for a future not to be anxious." "不安じゃない" is the negative form of "不安だ" (anxious).

• 大嫌いを裏返したとて

  ➔ Verb + とて (even if/even though)

  ➔ "とて" is a slightly archaic or literary conditional particle, meaning "even if" or "even though." It often implies that something is true despite the preceding condition. 「裏返す」(uragaesu) means "to turn inside out" or "to reverse." So, "大嫌いを裏返したとて" means "even if you turn 'hatred' inside out (or reverse it)."

• どこにもないの　だから

  ➔ どこにもない + の (nominalizer/explanatory particle)

  ➔ "どこにもない" means "not anywhere" or "nowhere to be found." The particle "の" (or ん) at the end of a sentence functions as an explanatory or nominalizing particle, adding a nuance of explanation, reason, or assertion. Here, it explains why "だから" (therefore) follows.

• 何回だって重ねていくんだ

  ➔ interrogative + だって + -ていく (to continue/change towards)

  ➔ "何回だって" means "no matter how many times" or "any number of times." 「〜だって」 attached to an interrogative (like 何回) indicates "even if/no matter how many/what/where." 「〜ていく」 indicates a continuous action or a change occurring over time, moving away from the speaker's current state. So, "何回だって重ねていくんだ" means "I will continue to pile them up, no matter how many times."

• 終わりなき愛の儘に

  ➔ なき (classical negative) + の儘に (as it is/remains)

  ➔ "なき" is a classical/literary negative form of 「ない」 (nai), often used to modify nouns, similar to "ない" or "ないような". It means "without" or "that does not exist." 「～の儘に」 means "as it is," "as it remains," or "following the way of." So, "終わりなき愛の儘に" means "as (or following) the way of never-ending love."

• 頑張った　どうしようもないその我儘

  ➔ しようもない (there's nothing one can do/hopeless)

  ➔ 「どうしようもない」 is an idiom meaning "there's nothing one can do," "hopeless," "beyond one's control," or "cannot be helped." It expresses a sense of resignation or impossibility regarding a situation or a characteristic. Here, it describes the selfishness ("我儘") as something that cannot be helped or is beyond control.

• スタッフロールまでは乗り切れど

  ➔ Verb stem + ど (classical conditional/concessive particle)

  ➔ "ど" is a classical/literary particle that functions similarly to modern 「けれど」 or 「けれども」, meaning "although," "though," or "but." It indicates a concession or contrast. 「乗り切る」 means "to get through" or "to overcome." So, "乗り切れど" means "although I can get through (it)." It creates a slightly formal or poetic tone.

• 何回だって傷付け合うんだ

  ➔ Verb + 合う (reciprocal action)

  ➔ 「〜合う」(au) attached to a verb stem indicates that an action is performed mutually or reciprocally by two or more parties. 「傷付ける」(kizutsukeru) means "to hurt" or "to wound someone." So, 「傷付け合う」 means "to hurt each other" or "to wound each other." The 「んだ」 at the end is an explanatory particle.
