[English]

I'll show you what's inside me

Listen

From the place so sweet it melts away, O-O-O-Out

Looking at myself in the mirror, who are you?

Being true to myself, genuine and real

I want to keep dancing just as I am

Searching inside for the me I don't even know

Baby? Crazy? I don't really understand what's true

Even knowing I might lose, I fight

There's no point in just running away

Inside, outside

My wild side, my wild side

Beyond weakness

The me I haven't seen yet

(WILDSIDE)

Far away, far away

Higher and higher

To places I've yet to see

No one can stop me now

Let's run forward together, on the count of three

Goodbye

That's not the me I've been before

Watch me now, WILDSIDE

I'll do it instinctively

Come along with me

Let's go down, down, down, just like on the street

I didn't go anywhere before

But now I can go anywhere

Fearing change

Just watching from the side

Just breathing, protected by you

Manipulated pitifully, like a puppet, a muppet

I thought I was no good

But behind my weakness, there was strength

People without love, their words—we don’t care anymore

I want to show you the truth

No more lying to myself

Now I fly to where I want to go

I'm never afraid to reach for the sky

Inside, outside

My wild side, my wild side

Beyond weakness

The part of me I haven't seen yet

(WILDSIDE)

Far away, far away

Higher and higher

To places I haven't reached yet

No one can stop me now

Let's run together, one, two, three

Goodbye

I'm not the same as before

Watch me now, WILDSIDE

Embrace the part of myself I don't even know

I want to love more, believe more

So I won't hesitate, yeah

Starlight, slicing through the dark night

Shining so bright, sparkle on, la-la-la-la-la

Inside, outside

My wild side, my wild side

Beyond weakness

The unknown me

(WILDSIDE)

Far away, far away

Higher and higher

To the places I haven't seen yet

No one can stop me now

Let's run forward together, on the count of three

Goodbye

That's not the me I was before

Watch me now, WILDSIDE

I'll do it on instinct

Come along with me

Let's go down, down...

I'll show you my wild side

[Japanese]

Show you inside myself

Listen

甘くて溶けてく場所から O-O-O-Out

鏡の自分を見つめる Who r u?

自分らしく偽りのない

姿で踊り続けたい

私さえも知らない私を探す Inside me

Baby? Crazy? 真実分かんないの

負けると知ってても Fight

逃げてばかりいらんない

Inside O-O-Out

My wild side, my wild side

弱さ超えた

まだ見ぬ私を

(WILDSIDE)

Far away, far away

高く高く

まだ見ぬ場所まで

誰も止められないもう

「せーの」で走り出そう

Good-bye

これまでの私じゃないの

見ていなさい WILDSIDE

本能で do it

Come along with me

Let us go down, down, down, down, da street

I didn’t go anywhere

Now I could go everywhere

変わるのを恐れ

側から見てるだけ

君に守られ呼吸するだけで

Puppet, muppet みたいに惨めに踊らされ

自分はダメだと思ってたの

でも弱さの裏に強さがあったの

愛のない人の言葉 I don’t care about it anymore

I will show you 真実見せたいの

もう自分に Never tell lies

行きたい場所へ今 Fly

I’m never scared of going to the sky

Inside O-O-Out

My wild side, my wild side

弱さ超えた

まだ見ぬ私を

(WILDSIDE)

Far away, far away

高く高く

まだ見ぬ場所まで

誰も止められないもう

「せーの」で走り出そう

Good-bye

これまでの私じゃないの

見ていなさい WILDSIDE

私さえ知らない自分を受け入れるの

もっと愛したい、信じていたい

迷わないよう Yeah

Starlight もう暗い夜を切り裂いて

So bright 煌めけ La-la-la-la-la

Inside O-O-Out

My wild side, my wild side

弱さ超えた

まだ見ぬ私を

(WILDSIDE)

Far away, far away

高く高く

まだ見ぬ場所まで

誰も止められないもう

「せーの」で走り出そう

Good-bye

これまでの私じゃないの

見ていなさい WILDSIDE

本能で do it

Come along with me

Let us go down down…

I will show you my wild side
