Japanese	Romaji	English
滞りなく迷走	todokoori naku meisou	Wandering smoothly,
夢見心地の愚者は浮世離れ	yumemigokochi no gusha wa ukiyobanare	the moony idiot lives in an ivory tower.
朝焼けが見えるのに	asayake ga mieru no ni	Even though I can see the sunrise,
性懲りも無く憂鬱(メランコリー)	shoukori mo naku merankorii	I’m feeling melancholy without learning anything.
未だ酔っていて	mada yotte ite	Still intoxicated
漂っていて	tadayotte ite	and floating about,
無為徒食だね	muitoshoku da ne	I live such an idle life, huh?
棒立ちで突っ立って	boudachi de tsuttatte	Standing erect without moving,
ただ、突っ立って	tada, tsuttatte	just standing erect,
可惜夜を食い潰している	atarayo o kuitsubushite iru	and eating up this marvelous night,
I'm a Lotus Eater
I'm a Lotus Eater
予定調和がただ狂っていく	yoteichouwa ga tada kurutte iku	The preestablished harmony is just getting out of order.
知らない、見えない	shiranai, mienai	I don’t know. I can’t see.
「まだ、ねんねしたい。」	"mada, nenne shitai."	“I still want to sleep.”
安っぽい僕の心象は	yasuppoi boku no shinshou wa	My cheap imagery was
夢の最奥で見る夢のようだった	yume no saiou de miru yume no you datta	just like a dream I had at the very bottom of a dream.
聞こえてないよ、メーデー	kikoete nai yo, meedee	I can’t hear you, mayday.
既にここには何も残ってないや	sude ni koko ni wa nani mo nokotte nai ya	There’s nothing left here anymore.
夕靄が晴れるのに	yuumoya ga hareru no ni	Even though the evening mist’s about to clear away,
どうしようもなく無関心(アパシー)	doushiyou mo naku apashii	I’m hopelessly feeling apathy towards it.
絡まっていて	karamatte ite	Completely tied up
空回っていて	karamawatte ite	and spinning my wheels,
夏炉冬扇で	karotousen de	I’m such a good-for-nothing.
そんな目で見んなって	sonna me de minna tte	Don’t look at me in that way.
もう、嫌になって	mou, iya ni natte	I can’t take it anymore,
夜もすがら泣き続けている	yo mo sugara nakitsuzukete iru	so I keep crying throughout the night.
予定調和がただ狂っていく	yoteichouwa ga tada kurutte iku	The preestablished harmony is just getting out of order.
知らない、見えない	shiranai, mienai	I don’t know. I can’t see.
「まだ、ねんねしたい。」	"mada, nenne shitai."	“I still want to sleep.”
安っぽい僕の心象は	yasuppoi boku no shinshou wa	My cheap imagery was
夢の最奥で見る夢のようだった	yume no saiou de miru yume no you datta	just like a dream I had at the very bottom of a dream.
I'm a Lotus Eater
