Lyrics

怒りをめくれば悲しみが
怡楽をめくれば喜びが
次から次へとめくれてく
人という名の戯れ者
ikari wo mekureba kanashimi ga
iraku wo mekureba yorokobi ga
tsugi kara tsugi e to mekureteku
hito to iu na no zare mono

そばだてる壁の向こう気にして
目を凝らす　ずぼらはないか？と
息詰まる雁字搦めの街で
魂抜け出し夜を翔る
sobadateru kabe no mukou ki ni shite
me wo korasu zubora wa nai ka? to
ikidzumaru ganjigarame no machi de
tamashii nukedashi yoru wo kakeru

馴れ合いなんかはいりません
蹴落としごっこ　おままごとも
四の五の全部消せるのなら
人なんて捨てる
nareai nanka wa irimasen
keotoshi gokko omamagoto mo
shi no go no zenbu keseru no nara
hito nante suteru

すべて　すべて　すべて　すべて
縁成
声を千切り心契り叫ぶ
subete subete subete subete
enjou
koe wo chigiri kokoro chigiri sakebu

不甲斐のなさは他人のせい
それでもダメなら運のせい
世界の終わりはまだ来ない
誇りのない生き物
fugai no nasa wa tanin no sei
sore demo dame nara un no sei
sekai no owari wa mada konai
hokori no nai ikimono

闇の中　心解き放たれて
飛び回る幼子みたいに
軽薄な汚い音もなくて
月と私と夜を踊る
yami no naka kokoro tokihanatarete
tobimawaru osanago mitai ni
keihaku na kitanai oto mo nakute
tsuki to watashi to yoru wo odoru

人間なんて儚きもの
猛々しっこ　見せ合いっこ
身の丈合った生き様など
みんな忘れてる
すべて　すべて　すべて　すべて
煩悩
今を捨てて心捨ててふける
ningen nante hakanaki mono
takedakeshikko miseaikko
minotake atta ikizama nado
minna wasureteru
subete subete subete subete
bonnou
ima wo sutete kokoro sutete fukeru

馴れ合いなんかはいりません
蹴落としごっこ　おままごとも
四の五の全部消せるのなら
人なんて捨てる
nareai nanka wa irimasen
keotoshi gokko omamagoto mo
shi no go no zenbu keseru no nara
hito nante suteru

人間なんて儚きもの
人間なんて儚きもの
人間なんて儚きもの
人を捨て思う
ningen nante hakanaki mono
ningen nante hakanaki mono
ningen nante hakanaki mono
hito wo suteomou

すべて　すべて　すべて　すべて
縁成
声を千切り心契り叫ぶ
subete subete subete subete
enjou
koe wo chigiri kokoro chigiri sakebu

Translation

Turn to anger and you will find sorrow
Turn to delight and you will find joy
They are turning from one to the next
These playthings called people

Look beyond the walls that stand by your side
Strain your eyes, is there any sloppiness?
In this stifling, bounding town
Souls escape and fly through the night

There’s no need for familiarity
They play defeat, even with playing houses
If I could erase four or five of everything
I’d get rid of people

Everything, everything, everything, everything
Is based on cause and effect
Shred your voice, pledge on your heart, and scream

I blame others for my unworthiness
I blame luck if it still doesn’t work
The end of the world has yet to come
For creatures without pride

In the darkness, my heart is released
Like a little child flying around
No frivolous, dirty sounds
Dancing in the night with the moon and me

Humans are such transient beings
They show their ferociousness to each other
A way of life or something that fits their stature
Everyone is forgetting it
Everything, everything, everything, everything
Is based on worldly desires
Let go of the present, let go of your heart, and indulge

There’s no need for familiarity
They play defeat, even with playing houses
If I could erase four or five of everything
I’d get rid of people

Humans are such transient beings
Humans are such transient beings
Humans are such transient beings
I think of giving up people

Everything, everything, everything, everything
Is based on cause and effect
Shred your voice, pledge on your heart, and scream
