Ranko: We had actually talked about doing this at some point, and we practiced it twice, but then it was dropped from the setlist.
So I was surprised to hear that we were going to do it for the first time for this tour.
It feels good to sing this one, too. I think I like this kind of stuff.
Lyrics
そう深い深い深い森
探していたものは見つからないまま
彷徨う
sou fukai fukai fukai mori
sagashite ita mono wa mitsukaranai mama
samayou
茂る木々に光取られて
闇に近い視界に「希望」失くした
shigeru kigi ni hikari torarete
yami ni chikai shikai ni “kibou” nakushita
怒り狂った鬼の面
角度を変えりゃ喜びに
元々あった人の情
一つも欠けちゃいけません
宿った業も
ikarikurutta oni no men
kakudo wo kaerya yorokobi ni
motomoto atta hito no jou
hitotsu mo kakecha ikemasen
yadotta karuma mo
そう長い永い時間の中
飽くなき感情が形に変わった
いつしか
sou nagai nagai toki no naka
akunaki kanjou ga katachi ni kawatta
itsushika
時に笑い悲しみ眠る
そんな一つ一つがすべてのすべて
toki ni warai kanashimi nemuru
sonna hitotsu hitotsu ga subete no subete
寄り添い合った恋の道
恨みこもった蛇の道
傷つけ合った修羅の道
それぞれ持った物語
業を踊った
yorisoiatta koi no michi
urami komotta hebi no michi
kizutsukeatta shura no michi
sorezore motta sutoorii
karuma wo odotta
怒り狂った鬼の面
角度を変えりゃ喜びに
元々あった人の情
一つも欠けちゃいけません
寄り添い合った恋の道
恨みこもった蛇の道
傷つけ合った修羅の道
それぞれ持った物語
業を踊った
ikarikurutta oni no men
kakudo wo kaerya yorokobi ni
motomoto atta hito no jou
hitotsu mo kakecha ikemasen
yorisoiatta koi no michi
urami komotta hebi no michi
kizutsukeatta shura no michi
sorezore motta sutoorii
karuma wo odotta
Translation
So, in the deep deep deep forest
I couldn’t find what I was looking for
I’m wandering around
The light is taken by the overgrown trees
In the near-darkness of my vision, I lost “hope”
The mask of an enraged demon
Becomes joy by changing its angle
The original human emotions
None of them should be missing
Even the karma that dwells in
So, in a long, long time
Insatiable emotions have taken shape
All of a sudden
Sometimes I laugh, I mourn, I sleep
Every single one of those things is everything
The path of love where we get close to each other
The path of snakes filled with resentment
The path of conflict where we hurt each other
Each with its own story
I danced my karma
The mask of an enraged demon
Becomes joy by changing its angle
The original human emotions
None of them should be missing
The path of love where we get close to each other
The path of snakes filled with resentment
The path of conflict where we hurt each other
Each with its own story
I danced my karma
