Lyrics
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| かごめかごめ答え合わせ | kagome kagome kotae awase | Kagome kagome,[1] I’m checking my answers. |
| ほらほら見て誰だ仲間外れ | hora hora mite dare da nakama hazure | Come on, come on, look–who is it, that’s being left out of the group? |
| フラフラ演じるよ道化愛想振りまいて | furafura enjiru yo douke aiso furimaite | I perform it all unsteadily, this buffoonery. I lavish people with this friendliness. |
| 決まったルールの中で戦うのが大人でしょ | kimatta ruuru no naka de tatakau no ga otona desho | The ones fighting within the established rules are the adults, right? |
| やいのやいの | yai no yai no | Badgeringly, I’m told things like “life is tough.” |
| 世知辛いこと言われ溺れそう | sechigarai koto iware oboresou | I could practically drown in it. |
| 自分に甘い奴ほど毒づきやがんだ | jibun ni amai yatsu hodo dokudzuki ya ga nda | The softer on themselves those guys are, the more furiously I curse them! |
| イミテーション | imiteeshon | Imitation |
| 踊り踊らされ街に溶け込んで | odori odorasare machi ni tokekonde | I’m made to dance to someone else’s tune, and I blend into the town. |
| 今日もセイを全うしました | kyou mo sei o mattou shimashita | I’ve fulfilled my life again today. |
| 咎人は石投げられちゃう強く目瞑って | togahito wa ishi nagerarechau tsuyoku me tsubutte | The offender’ll get stoned. I firmly shut my eyes |
| さっさと寝よう おやすみ | sassa to neyou oyasumi | and hit the hay. Good night. |
| いつしか口を閉ざし | itsushika kuchi o tozashi | Before I knew it I’d shut my mouth; |
| 身体と心離れた | karada to kokoro hanareta | my body and mind had grown distant. |
| パパもママも「よかったよかった」 | papa mo mama mo "yokatta yokatta" | Papa and mama both went ”thank goodness, thank goodness!” |
| クラクラ | kurakura | My head swims. |
| 生まれたこと自体が罪なんでしょ | umareta koto jitai ga tsumi nandesho | Being born is in and of itself a sin, right? |
| 壊れてもいいから誰も泣かせたくなかったな | kowarete mo ii kara dare mo nakasetakunakatta na | Then it’s fine if I break, because I never wanted to make anyone cry. |
| どうしようもないなら | doushiyou mo nai nara | If there’s nothing to be done about it, |
| ぶっこんじゃいな白いチャイナ | bukkonja ina shiroi chaina | then just smash it in! That white china. |
| 笑顔でいないと疑われるから | egao de inai to utagawareru kara | If you’re not smiling, they’ll be suspicious of you. |
| イミテーション | imiteeshon | Imitation |
| 世間を纏えば涙はいらない | seken o matoeba namida wa iranai | If I clad myself in the world, I won’t have any need for tears. |
| 今日も馬鹿を嘲笑いました | kyou mo baka o azawaraimashita | I sneered down at the idiots again today. |
| 傷つけは塩塗り込まれる仮面を被って | kizutsuke wa shionuri komareru kamen o kabutte | If I get hurt, I’ll only get salt in the wound. I don my mask |
| ナイフを忍ばせる | naifu o shinobaseru | and conceal my knife. |
| 幼さ故矢に貫かれ | osanasa yue ya ni tsuranukare | Thanks to my childishness, I’m pierced by an arrow. |
| 前へ足掻いて藻掻いて | mae e agaite mogaite | I struggle and strain forwards, |
| 美味な羨望共感を息継ぎに | bimi na senbou kyoukan o ikitsugi ni | a delicious envy. I take a quick breath of empathy, |
| ノイズが聞こえなくなるまで | noizu ga kikoenaku naru made | until I can’t hear the noise any longer. |
| もう汚いものは見たくない | mou kitanai mono wa mitakunai | I don’t want to look at filthy things anymore. |
| イミテーション | imiteeshon | Imitation |
| 踊り踊らされ街に溶け込んで | odori odorasare machi ni tokekonde | I’m made to dance to someone else’s tune, and I blend into the town. |
| 今日もセイを全うしました | kyou mo sei o mattou shimashita | I’ve fulfilled my life again today. |
| 咎人は石投げられちゃう強く目瞑って | togahito wa ishi nagerarechau tsuyoku me tsubutte | The offender’ll get stoned. I firmly shut my eyes |
| さっさと寝よう おやすみ | sassa to neyou oyasumi | and hit the hay. Good night. |
| バグを抑え込んで | bagu o osaekonde | I shut out the bugs[2] |
| 夜密かに舞って | yoru hisoka ni matte | and dance surreptitiously in the night. |
| 生を全うできてるのかな | sei o mattou dekiteru no ka na | I wonder if I can really fulfill my life. |
| イミテーション | imiteeshon | Imitation |
| 嘘塗れ息もできないよ | usomamire iki mo dekinai yo | I can’t even breathe, smeared with lies as I am. |
| 鳴呼じゃあねおやすみ | aa jaa ne oyasumi | Aah–see you, goodnight. |
