|---|
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| この姿、言葉、酸素 | kono sugata, kotoba, sanso | My figure, words, oxygen— |
| これは誰が作った脳だ？ | kore wa dare ga tsukutta nou da? | Whose brain cooked all this up? |
| レッテルを貼られてる | retteru o harareteru | A label is stuck on me. |
| これもそうだ、きっと能だ | kore mo sou da, kitto nou da | This is how it is too, it's gotta be your talent. |
| 張り詰めた意志を蹴って割いて | haritsumeta ishi o kette saite | A fake dancer kicks away their strained will, |
| 舞い踊るフェイクダンサー | maiodoru feikudansaa | Rips it up, and dances. |
| 心で泣いても | kokoro de naite mo | Even when I'm crying on the inside, |
| ピエロに興じる | piero ni kyoujiru | I'm making merry as a clown. |
| イニシャルはZ名無だ | inisharu wa Z nana da | My initial is Z, and that's all. |
| いつまで経ったら抜けられんだ | itsu made tattara nukerarenda | How long will it take for the rest to be left out? |
| 立たされる歪な廊下 | tatasareru ibitsu na rouka | In this twisted corridor I've been placed in, |
| こんな役回りごめんだ | konna yakumawari gomen da | I'm rejecting this sort of role. |
| 謝罪じゃない、愛をオーダー | shazai ja nai, ai o oodaa | This isn't an apology, I'm ordering love. |
| 落書きのような自己嫌悪が | rakugaki no you na jikoken'o ga | I'll disgrace and pollute |
| 散りばめられた虹のパレットを | chiribamerareta niji no paretto o | The rainbow palette inlaid with self-loathing |
| 穢して汚して僕になる | kegashite yogoshite boku ni naru | Like scribbles, and become myself. |
| これがありのままなNo doubt？ | kore ga arinomama na No doubt? | Is this an unvarnished "No doubt"? |
| どんな僕、私でも愛してほしい | donna boku, watashi demo aishite hoshii | I want you to love me whoever I am. |
| 皆が求める姿だけじゃNoだ | mina ga motomeru sugata dake ja No da | It's not enough just to have a figure that everyone looks for. |
| どんな色に染まってもいいだろう？ | donna iro ni somatte mo ii darou? | Is it all right to be dyed in any color? |
| 君たち人間も絶対にそうだ | kimitachi ningen mo zettai ni sou da | That's absolutely how all you humans are. |
| 同じだろう？ | onaji darou? | Am I the same way? |
| 型に当てはめたところで | kata ni atehameta tokoro de | Even if we adapt to new forms, |
| いつかは消えてく去っていく | itsuka wa kieteku satte iku | We'll be disappearing someday, leaving. |
| 才に飢えていた兎の耳を引きちぎり偶像に変えていく | sai ni uete ita usagi no mimi o hikichigiri guuzou ni kaete iku | I rip off the ears of the rabbit starved for genius and change it into an idol. |
| ミッキーマウスの生まれる前の姿なんて誰も覚えてない | mikkii mausu no umareru mae no sugata nante dare mo oboetenai | No one even remembers its figure from before Mickey Mouse was born. |
| どれだけ大きな耳を生やして広げても飛べない ダンボじゃない | dore dake ookina mimi o hayashite hirogete mo tobenai danbo ja nai | No matter how big and wide you let your ears grow, won't you just be a Dumbo who can't fly? |
| 技術の進歩で神化し進化した嘘は誰にも止められない | gijutsu no shinpo de shinka shi shinka shita uso wa dare ni mo tomerarenai | Lies that we deified through the progress of technology and that evolved won't be stopped by anyone. |
| この先10年後、さらに100年後、君は誰に求められたい？ | kono saki juunengo, sarani hyakunengo, kimi wa dare ni motomeraretai? | Who will be looking for you ten years from now, and then a hundred years from now? |
| 人間なんてのは容易く裏切る生態 醜い個の醜態 | ningen nante no wa tayasuku uragiru seitai minikui ko no shuutai | Humans are an ecology that will easily betray you; they're the shameful sight of an ugly one. |
| なら今のうちにその脳から解放して曝け出してみなさい | nara ima no uchi ni sono nou kara kaihou shite sarakedashite minasai | If that's so, try liberating yourself from that brain and laying everything bare. |
| あなたのそれは誰に決められたキャラクター？ | anata no sore wa dare ni kimerareta kyarakutaa? | Who decided upon that character of yours? |
| 誰に着せられたファッションモンスター？ | dare ni kiserareta fasshon monsutaa? | Who is it that dressed the fashion monster? |
| 誰かに笑われるジョークジョーカー？ | dareka ni warawareru jooku jookaa? | Is the joking joker laughed at by anyone? |
| 破壊と創造 VOCALOID STAR | hakai to souzou VOCALOID STAR | Destruction and creation, VOCALOID STAR! |
| ここまで飾った栄光も | koko made kazatta eikou mo | Don't fear the glory that's adorned you |
| 積み上げて得てきた地位名誉も | tsumiagete ete kita chii meiyo mo | Up till now, or the status and fame |
| 恐れるな！進め！ | osoreru na! susume! | That you've managed to acquire! Advance! |
| 壊してみろ！ | kowashite miro! | Try breaking everything! |
| それがありのままなのか？ | sore ga arinomama nano ka? | Is that the unvarnished truth? |
| 本当は君の色って無いんでしょう？ | hontou wa kimi no iro tte nai ndeshou? | Is your color truly nonexistent? |
| 汚れた色がそんな大事なのか？ | yogoreta iro ga sonna daiji nano ka? | Is a polluted color really so important? |
| 今のお前に名前はない | ima no omae ni namae wa nai | There is no name for you as you are now. |
| それでもなのか？ | soredemo nano ka? | Is that true anyway? |
| 何がありのままなのか | nani ga arinomama nano ka | What is the unvarnished truth? |
| わからない | wakaranai | I don't know. |
| わからない | wakaranai | I don't know. |
| ありのままが何なのか分からなくても良い | arinomama ga nan nano ka wakaranakute mo ii | It's fine even if you don't know what the unvarnished truth is. |
| さあ、見せてごらん | saa, misete goran | C'mon, show us! |
| これがありのままなのだ | kore ga arinomama nano da | This is the unvarnished truth. |
| こんな姿をずっと愛してほしい | konna sugata o zutto aishite hoshii | I want you to always love this sort of figure. |
| 誰かの期待には目を瞑ろうか | dareka no kitai ni wa me o tsuburou ka | Shall we overlook someone's expectations? |
| 苦しかったろう | kurushikattarou | It must've been painful. |
| 今はいいよ | ima wa ii yo | It's all right now. |
| いいよ、いいよ。 | ii yo, ii yo. | It's all right, it's all right. |
| こんな私のことも、こんな僕のことも | konna watashi no koto mo, konna boku no koto mo | Someone like me, someone like me, |
| こんなうちのことも、こんな豆のことですら | konna uchi no koto mo, konna mame no koto de sura | Someone like me,[1] even beans like these, |
| こんなの嘘のことも、こんな未来のことも | konna no uso no koto mo, konna mirai no koto mo | Lying things like these, things that will happen in the future like these, |
| こんな「 |
konna "ai" no koto mo aishite hoshii | And this thing called "love": we want you to love them all. |
