Lyrics

Japanese	Romaji	English
なにその目やっぱその目	nani sono me yappa sono me	What's with that look? That look I knew you'd give me
はじめましてじゃないね	hajimemashite ja nai ne	It's not the first time I've seen it, after all
なにその目もうやめて	nani sono me mou yamete	What's with that look? Just stop it already
可愛いだけなのに罪の味	kawaii dake nano ni tsumi no aji	Sure, it's cute - but it still tastes like sin

ずれるずれる崩れる	zureru zureru kuzureru	I'm slipping, slipping and collapsing
ずれる気が触れる	zureru ki ga fureru	Slipping and losing my mind
秘密ひとつで崩れる	himitsu hitotsu de kuzureru	With a single secret, everything falls apart
壊れる、ごめん	kowareru, gomen	It's being destroyed - I'm sorry

見ないで理解出来ないでしょう?	minaide rikai dekinai deshou?	Don't look - it's not like you'd understand, right?^[2]
まるで咲いてしまった化けの花	marude saite shimatta bake no hana	It's as if this flower of transformation has finally gone and bloomed
なにも言えないかき消せない	nani mo ienai kakikesenai	I can't say anything, I can't make it disappear
どんなに醜く映る化粧	donna ni minikuku utsuru keshou	No matter how ugly my make-up is

見ないで理解出来ないでしょう?	minaide rikai dekinai deshou?	Don't look - it's not like you'd understand, right?
まるで咲いてしまった化けの花	marude saite shimatta bake no hana	It's as if this flower of transformation has finally gone and bloomed
つぼみにはもう戻れない	tsubomi ni wa mou modorenai	And now it can't turn back into a bud

なにその目やっぱその目	nani sono me yappa sono me	What's with that look? That look I knew you'd give me
だったら消えてみーんないなくなれ	dattara kiete miinna inaku nare	If you're going to look at me that way, then just disappear - eeeveryone should go away
いなくなれいなくなれ	inaku nare inaku nare	Go away, go away
いなくなれそばに居て	inaku nare soba ni ite	Go away - stay by my side

見ないで理解出来ないでしょう?	minaide rikai dekinai deshou?	Don't look - it's not like you'd understand, right?
まるで咲いてしまった化けの花	marude saite shimatta bake no hana	It's as if this flower of transformation has finally gone and bloomed
なにも言えないかき消せない	nani mo ienai kakikesenai	I can't say anything, I can't make it disappear
どんなに醜く映る化粧	donna ni minikuku utsuru keshou	No matter how ugly my make-up is

未来で理解されないなら	mirai de rikai sarenai nara	If it won't be understood in the future
此処でさっさと消えて化けの花	koko de sassa to kiete bake no hana	Then this flower of transformation should disappear right here, right now
生まれた罰を終わらすように	umareta batsu o owarasu you ni	It's finally come around, my punishment for having been born. In order to put an end to it,
呼吸を止めて	kokyuu o tomete	I stop breathing
あーもういいや	aa mou ii ya	Ah, I'm fed up with this

Translation Notes

↑ 化けの皮 is an expression meaning "concealing one's true character" or even "a wolf in sheep's clothing". Here, 皮, or "skin" is replaced by 花, "flower". So "disguised in flowers" is another way to interpret the meaning of 化けの花. 化け has a nuance of ghostliness and/or monstrousness to it.
↑ This line can either be read as 見ないで　理解出来ないでしょう (Don't look - it's not as if you'd understand, right?" OR 見ないで理解出来ないでしょう (If you don't look properly, you won't be able to understand, will you?) It sounds as if the speaker wants to be truly seen for what they are and understood that way, rather than just being given brief dirty glances.
