Lyrics
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| 日は暮れて月の向こうの | hi wa kurete tsuki no mukou no | As the sun sets and the moon rises |
| 相席は偶然じゃない | aiseki wa guuzen ja nai | It’s not a coincidence that we’re sharing a table |
| 机上揺れる虹色の火は | kijou yureru nijiiro no hi wa | These flickering, rainbow-colored candles, |
| 沈黙を彩る為だってさ | chinmoku o irodoru tame datte sa | They’re there to color this pleasant silence |
| 並んだ皿にフォークとナイフ | naranda sara ni fooku to naifu | With forks and knives laid out beside our plates |
| 君と僕共同作業で | kimi to boku kyoudou sagyou de | We begin our mutual work |
| 盛り付けるのはもちろん言葉 | moritsukeru no wa mochiron kotoba | What we’re putting on the menu is words, |
| 世間じゃ「会話」と呼ぶんだそうだ | seken ja "kaiwa" to yobu nda sou da | Some people like to call it “conversation” |
| 「鮮度が命なんだ。」 | "sendo ga inochi na nda." | “You gotta keep it fresh”, |
| 「タイミングが重要なんだ。」 | "taimingu ga juuyou na nda." | “Timing is the important thing” |
| お調子者が言っていたっけ | ochoushimono ga itte ita kke | What was it again that all those shallow, follower-types like to say? |
| 「全く同感だよな。」 | "mattaku doukan da yo na." | “OMG, I totally feel the same!” |
| 何でもいいから言ったもん勝ち | nan demo ii kara itta mon kachi | Anything’s fine, just running your mouth is the important thing |
| 「酷いモンだ。」 | "hidoi mon da." | “God, this is the worst” |
| 心にない言葉でごめんね | kokoro ni nai kotoba de gomen ne | Sorry that I don’t get anything meaningful to say |
| 興味がなきゃ口にできなくて | kyoumi ga nakya kuchi ni dekinakute | I can’t stomach it if I don’t care |
| テーブルに並ぶレプリカの果実 | teeburu ni narabu repurika no kajitsu | All this fake fruit laid out on the table |
| 嘘みたいに鮮やかなんだ | uso mitai ni azayaka na nda | looks so fresh it can’t be real |
| 頭にない話でごめんね | atama ni nai hanashi de gomen ne | Sorry that I don’t get anything worth talking about |
| 君のことはもうどうでも良くて | kimi no koto wa mou dou demo yokute | But as for you, I could care less |
| 僕の言葉で僕が酔うだけ | boku no kotoba de boku ga you dake | My own words just make me sick, |
| 「簡単なもんだ。」と口火を切った | "kantan na mon da." to kuchibi o kitta | “…and that’s all there is to it” is how I get this conversation rolling |
| 吐き出した 手に取った | hakidashita te ni totta | Spitting them out, picking them up, |
| 偽った | itsuwatta | Trying to make them into something else, |
| 差し出した 夢に見た | sashidashita yume ni mita | Offering the to others, that which is seen in a dream, |
| kata nashita | trying to give it form | |
| それは言の葉だった | sore wa kotonoha datta | What I’m talking about is “words” |
| 繰り返す 繰り返す | kurikaesu kurikaesu | and this process just keeps repeating |
| 吐き出した 手に取った | hakidashita te ni totta | Spitting them out, picking them up, |
| 偽った | itsuwatta | Trying to make them into something else, |
| 差し出した 夢に見た | sashidashita yume ni mita | Offering the to others, that which is seen in a dream, |
| kata nashita | trying to give it form | |
| 「まるで僕らのようだ。」 | "marude bokura no you da." | “It’s just like us” |
| 見上げる 烏合の衆 | miageru ugou no shuu | Looking up and seeing a disorderly mob, |
| 「何かおかしいか？」 | "nanika okashii ka?" | “Something seems a bit off…” |
| karuki kusai no ga gen'in | The source of this depressing bleach-like stench, | |
| グラスで掛け合う批判の弁 | gurasu de kakeau hihan no ben | this language of criticism that flows through our glasses |
| 「本当のことは要らないから。」 | "hontou no koto wa iranai kara." | “Who cares about being genuine?” |
| 吐き捨てられた言葉が刺さっていた | hakisuterareta kotoba ga sasatte ita | Words come flying at me, piercing through like knives |
| 悪かったのは僕では無く | warukatta no wa boku de wa naku | It’s not really my fault, |
| やつらって話もあるんだが | yatsura tte hanashi mo aru nda ga | I had stuff to say but… |
| 何なんだ腑に落ちない | nan na nda fu ni ochinai | I really don’t get it |
| 結局胸には大きなコルクが支えたまんま | kekkyoku mune ni wa ookina koruku ga sasaeta manma | A big cork has been stuck in my heart |
| その日から言葉が僕を置いていった | sono hi kara kotoba ga boku o oite itta | since that day and words have long since abandoned me |
| 流れる月日が作ったんだ | nagareru tsukihi ga tsukutta nda | As a result of all the time that’s passed me by, |
| 人々の声との距離のお陰で | hitobito no koe to no kyori no okage de | Thanks to being immersed |
| 今でははっきり見えているよ | ima de wa hakkiri miete iru yo | in the voices of all those people around me |
| ヤツらの |
yatsura no harawata kuroi toko made | I can see the blackness inside them so very clearly |
| 余興と本盤の位置付けは | yokyou to honban no ichizuke wa | The “side show” I put on for others |
| とうの昔にもう切り替わった | tou no mukashi ni mou kirikawatta | has long taken the place of the “real me” |
| いつからだっけ？どうしてだっけ？ | itsu kara da kke? doushite da kke? | Since when? Why? |
| 「あぁ、そうだった。」 | "aa, sou datta." | “Ah, that’s what it was” |
| 腹 肺 喉 口から | hara hai nodo kuchi kara | Flowing from that stomach, those lungs, that throat and mouth, |
| 伝う 伝う言葉を食べる | tsutau tsutau kotoba o taberu | just eating the words that come along |
| 虚勢 自慢 嘘 | kyosei jiman uso | Bluffs, pride, lies, |
| 批判 皆 皆派手に着飾る | hihan mina mina hade ni kikazaru | and judgement, everyone’s so horribly fake and made up |
| 高らかなその声は | takaraka na sono koe wa | A loud voice seems to be |
| 裏腹叫んでいるよう | urahara sakende iru you | crying out the truth |
| 「怖い、怖い、怖い、 | "kowai, kowai, kowai, | “I’m afraid, |
| 怖い、怖い、怖い、怖い。」 | kowai, kowai, kowai, kowai." | so very afraid of it all” |
| ヒト程度のヤツの「本当」は | hitoteido no yatsu no "hontou" wa | Knowing just one “truth” about a guy |
| 悲しいがたかが知れているんだ | kanashii ga taka ga shirete iru nda | is enough to peg him a “downer”-type of person |
| 味気なくて食えやしないから | ajikenakute kueyashinai kara | Since no one is gonna wanna touch that, |
| 粗末な調味で着飾って | somatsu na choumi de kikazatte | you gotta dress it up with some kind of vapid “seasoning” |
| ああ！ | aa! | Ah! |
| 真実のみを伝えるだけじゃ | shinjitsu nomi o tsutaeru dake ja | If I get a bit impolite |
| 無作法も良いところな現実 | busahou mo ii tokoro na genjitsu | when it comes to speaking the truth, |
| 無理矢理言葉を噛み砕いて | muriyari kotoba o kamikudaite | Is it really any different than having |
| 談笑で食ってる夜もあるような | danshou de kutteru yo mo aru you na | to choke down all those “pleasant” conversations? |
| 僕が言うべきは何だろうか？ | boku ga iu beki wa nan darou ka? | What should I say? |
| 手にとるべきは何だろうか？ | te ni toru beki wa nan darou ka? | What should I take hold of? |
| 自分を賭けるべき言葉と | jibun o kakeru beki kotoba to | Does anyone know the magic words and deeds that will let me |
| その生き方を誰か知らないか？ | sono ikikata o dareka shiranai ka? | put my true self out there for all to see? |
