歌詞:

[日本語]

[English]

まっさら剥がれ落ちて

Peeling off completely

本当の感情さらけ出してちょうだい

Really show your true feelings

今日今宵朽ちるように

Tonight, as if to decay away

衝動抑えつけぬように

So I won’t suppress my impulses

まともなフリ　隠した欲望

Pretending to be normal, hiding my desires

どうにも止まらなくて膨大

I just can't stop, it's overwhelming

そう燃やし尽くすように

Burning it all up like this

覆ったベールめくるように

Turning over the veils that cover me

何にもいらないこれ以上

I don't need anything more

手に入れてなお求める逃避行

Seeking even after getting it, escaping again

あぁ、もう温いプライドばっか出て　滑稽

Ah, now I'm just showing my warm pride, how foolish

大層分厚いコレクション

A mighty thick collection

見栄に任せて忘れてく愛情

Boasting pride and forgetting love

ありふれた思い出はもう

Ordinary memories are no longer

この世界じゃ用なし

Needed in this world no more

一度見透かされバレたなら

Once you're seen through and exposed

もう一生のフィクション

It's an everlasting fiction

頭ん中から捨て去って

Throw it out of your mind

即投了しよう　もう意地も不要

Just give up now, no more stubbornness needed

日々妄想広げ飽きたから

Because I've gotten bored of fantasizing every day

多分明日さよならね

Probably saying goodbye tomorrow

全部投げうつスーツケース

All packed into a suitcase

一切合切剥がれ落ちて

Everything peels away

本当の感情さらけ出してちょうだい

Really show your true feelings

肩書きも無意味なように

Just as titles are meaningless

衝動抑えつけぬように

So I won’t suppress my impulses

まともなフリ　隠した欲望

Pretending to be normal, hiding my desires

どうにも止まらなくて膨大

I just can't stop, it's overwhelming

後悔する暇もないでしょ

There's no time for regrets

強がりはとうに置いといて

Forget pretending to be strong

脱したいだろ大都会とか

Want to escape like in a big city, right?

甲斐もない日々　限界だ

Dull days with no meaning, reaching the limit

賛美に満ちた甘美な笑みも

Even the sweet smile filled with praise

腹抱えて暴いてしまえば

If I laugh and reveal everything

代理可能な大義の裏

Behind justified reasons I can substitute

隠れた永遠の少年が

Hidden eternal boy

鮮やかな色望んだ憧れを

Dreamed of vivid colors, longing for admiration

最後姿表すカメレオン

The chameleon reveals its final form

Chroma 化かす無数の容貌が

Colorful, deceptive appearances

Change to 自由の提示 How Crazy

Transform into a symbol of freedom, how crazy

俺だけのChoice 不安すら制す

My own choice, even anxiety is controlled

So Clear

So clear

遠く離れた地で見つけた

Found in a distant land

失くしたはずの切れ端が

Fragment that I thought was lost

夢に似た幻像を結んでいる

Weaves a mirage similar to a dream

錆びないように見えた

Appeared unable to rust

過去たちのその栄光　誓いも

Glory and vows of past times

有限繋ぎ生きてく人と

Living with finite, intertwined lives

同じの必死さよ

That same desperation

取り繕い続け瞬く間

Continuously trying to put on a mask

ずれ始めてる心

Hearts starting to drift apart

捕まえとくショーケース

A showcase to hold onto

一切合切剥がれ落ちて

Everything peels away

単純明快答え出してちょうだい

Just give a simple, straightforward answer

後先考えぬように

Without thinking about the consequences

来世にすべて託すように

Entrust everything to the next life

葛藤すら捨てんだ

Abandon even inner conflicts

言えない言葉も解き放って Alright?

Free the unspoken words, alright?

経験すりゃわかりそうでしょ

You'd understand once you've experienced it

醜態はどっか放っといて

Forget about showing off how ugly you are

道に迷った旅人たち

Travelers lost on their path

孤独も返せば独壇場

If you give back loneliness, you get the spotlight

向かい風に煽られたまま

Still pushed by headwinds

笑える強さ求めて歩いた

Walking seeking strength to laugh

アンドロイドの愛の模倣に

Imitating love of androids

どんな証明もいらないわ

No need for any proof

感じてたものが本当だから

Because what I feel is real

まっさら剥がれ落ちて

Peeling off completely

本当の感情さらけ出してちょうだい

Really show your true feelings

今日今宵朽ちるように

Tonight, as if to decay away

衝動抑えつけぬように

Without suppressing my impulses

高彩度振り切った

Pushing through with hyper-saturation

存在証明始めたっていいかい？

Is it okay to start proving my existence?

逃亡劇見飽きたんだろう

You're probably tired of these runaway acts

選んだ色をまとえ

Wear the colors you've chosen

あぁ、一切合切剥がれ落ちて

Ah, everything peels away

本当の感情さらけ出してちょうだい

Really show your true feelings

肩書きも無意味なように

Just as titles are meaningless

衝動抑えつけぬように

So I won’t suppress my impulses

まともなフリ　隠した欲望

Pretending to be normal, hiding my desires

どうにも止まらなくて膨大

I just can't stop, it's overwhelming

後悔する暇もないでしょ

There's no time for regrets

強がりはとうに置いといて

Forget pretending to be strong

脱したいだろ大都会とか

Want to escape like in a big city, right?

甲斐もない日々限界だ

Dull days with no meaning, reaching the limit

賛美に満ちた甘美な笑みも

Even the sweet smile filled with praise

腹抱えて暴いてしまえば

If I laugh and reveal everything

代理可能な大義の裏

Behind justified reasons I can substitute

隠れた永遠の少年が

Hidden eternal boy

鮮やかな色望んだ憧れを

Dreamed of vibrant colors, longing for admiration

最後姿表すカメレオン

The chameleon reveals its final form
