Lyrics
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| エゴの産物として育った僕等を投げ出して | ego no sanbutsu to shite sodatta bokura o nagedashite | Throwing us, raised as the products of ego, away, |
| 看取ることを放棄した老婆 | mitoru koto o houki shita rouba | the old woman abandoned the prospect of nursing others’ sickbeds. |
| 街は人ひとりもいないようだ | machi wa hito hitori mo inai you da | It looks like there’s not a single person left in town. |
| 四畳半にぶら下がった肢体を蝕んだ | shijouhan ni burasagatta shitai o mushibanda | I gnawed at the corpse hanging in a four-and-a-half-mat room.[1] |
| その姿たるやまるで狼牙 | sono sugatataruya marude rouge | And speaking of, its figure makes it look almost like a wolf’s fang. |
| とも言い切れぬ僕は誰なんだ？ | tomo ii kirenu boku wa dare nanda? | But if I can’t even say as much, then who does that make me? |
| 始りは何時だってタイトなモノローグ | hajimari wa itsu datte taito na monoroogu | The beginning always starts with a tight monologue. |
| 言葉足らずな命こそエンドレス | kotoba tarazu na meikoso endoresu | It’s this inarticulate life[2] that’s endless. |
| 拘泥して肯定して 振出しに戻って | koudei shite koutei shite furidashi ni modotte | I stick to it and I admit to it, and end up right back where I started. |
| 負け犬のように踊る | makeinu no you ni odoru | I dance around like a loser. |
| sha la la la la | ||
| 誰もが祈っているでしょう？ | daremo ga inotte iru deshou? | Isn’t everybody praying for it? |
| いつから僕等は神様になったつもりだよ | itsu kara bokura wa kamisama ni natta tsumori da yo | Since when have we been playing at being God? |
| 満ち欠けた月の奥で | michikaketa tsuki no oku de | In the heart of the phasing[3] moon |
| 僕はバケモノになってしまった | boku wa bakemono ni natte shimatta | I’ve turned into a monster. |
| 醜い姿ではお前を愛せやしないんだよ | minikui sugata de wa omae o aiseyashinain da yo | I could never bring myself to love you with such an ugly figure. |
| 二度と戻れない定めと知っている | nidoto modorenai sadame to shitte iru | I know I’m fated to never return. |
| 満たされない夜にそっぽ向いてピアノを鳴らしている | mitasarenai yoru ni soppo muite piano o narashite iru | On an unsatisfying night, I look the other way and key the piano. |
| 背中越しに伝わった温度 | senaka goshi ni tsutawatta ondo | I felt that warmth through my back. |
| 噛み砕いた指輪は２カラット | kamikudaita yubiwa wa ni-karatto | The ring I chewed on was two carats. |
| 息も絶え絶えに辿り着いたこの大迷宮 | iki mo taedae ni tadori tsuita kono daimeikyuu | Gasping for breath, I finally arrived at this great labyrinth. |
| アイロニー混じりのラブソング | aironii majiri no rabusongu | It’s a love song streaked with irony. |
| 夜空を照らす月さえリサイズ | yozora o terasu tsukisae risaizu | Even the moon illuminating the night sky is resized. |
| 透明な群像を追いかけて転んで | toumei na gunzou o oikakete koronde | I chase after the transparent crowd, but I trip and fall. |
| 俯く影は何時かの僕だ | utsumuku kage wa itsuka no boku da | That shadow hanging its head was me once upon a time. |
| 先天性の光も爆弾に変わって | sentensei no hikari mo bakudan ni kawatte | Even my innate light will turn into a bomb, |
| 深い闇に沈んでいく | fukai yami ni shizunde iku | and succumb to a deep darkness. |
| sha la la la la | ||
| 誰もが祈っているでしょう？ | daremo ga inotte iru deshou? | Isn’t everybody praying for it? |
| いつから僕等は神様になったつもりだよ | itsu kara bokura wa kamisama ni natta tsumori da yo | Since when have we been playing at being God? |
| 満ち欠けた月の奥で | michikaketa tsuki no oku de | In the heart of the phasing moon |
| 僕はバケモノになってしまった | boku wa bakemono ni natte shimatta | I’ve turned into a monster. |
| 醜い姿ではお前を愛せやしないんだよ | minikui sugata de wa omae o aiseyashinain da yo | I could never bring myself to love you with such an ugly figure. |
| 二度と戻れない定めと知っている | nidoto modorenai sadame to shitte iru | I know I’m fated to never return. |
| 溶けて堕ちていく | tokete ochite iku | I’m melting, I’m falling deeper. |
| 夜の隅 仄かな愛に | yoru no sumi honokana ai ni | In the recesses of the night, my vision fades |
| 視界が劣っていく | shikai ga ototte iku | until all I see is a faint love. |
| 幾度の夜を明かせど | ikudo no yoru o akasedo | I’ve spent many a night like this, |
| この身が擦り果てるまで懺悔を繰り返しても | kono mi ga suri hateru made zange o kurikaeshite mo | But even if I repent again and again until I’ve scraped this body away, |
| 許されないこのカルマ | yurusarenai kono karuma | this karma is unforgivable. |
| 思い出せない記憶の中で | omoidasenai kioku no naka de | Just what should I name |
| 踊り明かすこの人生に何と名付けよう？ | odori akasu kono jinsei ni nanto nazukeyou? | this life spent dancing away within memories I can’t recall? |
| と見世物は唄った | to misemono wa utatta | So the sideshow sang. |
| 誰もが祈っているでしょう？ | daremo ga inotte iru deshou? | Isn’t everybody praying for it? |
| いつから僕等は神様になったつもりだよ | itsu kara bokura wa kamisama ni natta tsumori da yo | Since when have we been playing at being God? |
| 満ち欠けた月の奥で | michikaketa tsuki no oku de | In the heart of the phasing moon |
| 僕はバケモノになってしまった | boku wa bakemono ni natte shimatta | I’ve turned into a monster. |
| 醜い姿ではお前を愛せやしないんだよ | minikui sugatade wa omae o aiseyashinain da yo | I could never bring myself to love you with such an ugly figure. |
| 二度と戻れないままに | nidoto modorenai mama ni | So, unable to ever return, |
| 生きろ | ikiro | live. |
