Those desires and values fall off from being over-ridiculed,
The extinction that sleeps beside us is foolish, Yes, the numbers who flee to zero chase
the meaning of the crumbling scenery, the meaning of falling into decay
to the source of the gathering crows, until they stop cawing,
The distortedly warping form that should be is so profoundly undone it’s stitched together,
The reality shown in my pupils is a husk, Is it because of my crippled emotions?
The light interrupted by the sky falls to earth, a baby’s dream to soothe the grieving voices,
Festering lies that painted over too much, a moth descends with butterfly’s wings,
Love drowning behind anguish, onlookers reach out their hands to the dead body,
An old woman laughs at a groveling tomorrow,
Somehow please, just as I am…
A pain with no address completely covers up the neighborhood,
Closing their eyes, unable to heal their scars in an illuminating song,
Demise bloomed all over the wall each time someone wished to forget,
Burned by loss, my song is drowning in the depths of gloomy emptiness

‘A MOTH UNDER THE SKIN’
by the GazettE
High society under the floor, the ecstasy of a short play is beautiful
Abnormal culture＝Modern normal
Self-destructive and beautiful
A sense of beauty…Supply and demand
A terribly costly Masquerade, drowning in crippling pleasure
Abnormal beauty＝Modern beauty
The smile that twitched is pretty
Hand beckoning, cleverly sprinkling wing dust before your eyes*
Delighting in a Fake, ART that won’t dissolve in Alcohol
If it’s only on the surface Without a doubt
freedom of expression well-made
The product of the sense of beauty
Orange Head
You resemble a butterfly
It is only a pretense
You forget to have been called a moth sometime…
A sense of beauty…Supply and demand
Even with facial expressions created by others, a unique existence
High society under the floor
* This “wing dust” refers to the powdery scales of a moth’s wing.

In the maze without an end…過ちに溺れ

‘THE INVISIBLE WALL’
by the GazettE
Pig that is soaked in soup of crime
It is a pain of the children whom you murdered
Hate yourself
In the maze without an end…
Why do you still breathe?
Beneath the rubble the picture in which the truth writhes is deeper than anything else
[The invisible wall]
Loneliness, hatred, jealousy, insecurity, expressionlessness blossomed in nihility, thinking of it above all else*
[The invisible wall]
Covering up a disastrous scene, irrationally the blue sky seemed to laugh
In the maze without an end…drown in your mistakes
In the maze without an end…Why do you still breathe?
Sorrow made you
In the bottom of the dark sea
Sorrow made you
Go on compensating…And die
Pig that is soaked in soup of crime…
In the maze without an end…「Hate yourself」drown in your mistakes
In the maze without an end…「Hate yourself」Why do you still breathe?
Sorrow made you
In the bottom of the dark sea
Sorrow made you
Sorrow made you
A lonely parade with no knowledge of love
Sorrow made you
In the maze without an end…Why do you still breathe?

互いがぶつかり合い組み合い +になってくれりゃIt’s all right
この傷だってほら笑って 本望だと笑いを溢し『どうも』
点と点をほら結んで行こう 今線と線を描き繋いで
一人じゃ見つけれぬ何かを
I saw your face in a crowded place
忘れないで 暗闇じゃなきゃ光は輝けない
I saw your face in a crowded place
弱さを今振り払いkeep.alive まだ見ぬ場所へ
絆を繋げもっと強く 今此処に集いkeep.alive
守るべきものは何なのか?紛れもないそのPrecious life
まだ癒えない 消えない でも覚えてて欲しい
君が居て此処まで変われた事
I saw your face in a crowded place
満たされない 心が疼き何度も手を伸ばす
I saw your face in a crowded place
これから何が起きても絆が結ばれるまで

‘ALIVE’
by girugämesh
Tie our bonds tighter, now gather here and keep.alive,
What should we protect? There’s no mistaking it’s that Precious life,
>> Fast forwarded time passes by
“How boring” spills from your mouth
<< Frightened of rewinded time
“How pitiful” I say and reject tomorrow
Don’t go away
A SAVIOR unlike anything you’ve ever seen diagonally holding out their hand,
We clash against and join together with each other, if it becomes a + It’s all right,
Come on, smile even with this scar, if you’re fulfilled say “Thanks” with overflowing smiles,
See, let’s connect the dots, now join the lines,
Something you can’t find alone…
I saw your face in a crowded place
Your unsatisfied heart aches, reach out your hands again and again
I saw your face in a crowded place
from now on no matter what happens, until we can form a bond
∞(Repeat)ed farewells and meetings, a period to completely used up emotions,*
You, a SAVIOR known as one who understands, if it’s this place will you never lose your way again?
Don’t do away
This is a first, what is this sensation? Just a shock to an undeveloped mind,
We clash against and join together with each other, if it becomes a + It’s all right,
Come on, smile even with this scar, if you’re fulfilled say “Thanks” with overflowing smiles,
See, let’s connect the dots, now join the lines,
Something you can’t find alone…
I saw your face in a crowded place
Don’t forget, if there’s no darkness the light can’t shine,
I saw your face in a crowded place
Now shake off your weakness and keep.alive, toward a place unseen
Tie our bonds tighter, now gather here and keep.alive,
What should we protect? There’s no mistaking it’s that Precious life,
It still won’t heal, won’t disappear, but I want you to remember
you are here and were able to change thus far
I saw your face in a crowded place
Your unsatisfied heart aches, reach out your hands again and again
I saw your face in a crowded place
from now on no matter what happens, until we can form a bond
* Here “period” refers to the punctuation mark -> . In other words, it means the end of something.
A dream all humanity longs for, a theorem of happiness that connects us,
10 years from now will you have it in your hands? What’ll you be doing?
It’d be nice if you were smiling
That way even in lonely times, even if someone takes hold of it,
one day you’ll be able to find it, You can find it yourself
if that time comes
So don’t hesitate, stand up!
Oh, gather up the tailwinds and step forward,
there’s no need to hurry, it’s ok to do things your own way!
You beat the 1/300,000,000 odds and were born,
Every one of us is an elite STAR
Bawling and holding it in your fisted hand,
you’ve come this far up till now!
If you just look at your feet upon the round earth and curl up
nothing’s gonna change, only the revolving world will turn around,
So don’t hesitate, stand up!
Oh, gather up the tailwinds and step forward,
there’s no need to hurry, Wake up in your own way!!
You beat the 1/300,000,000 odds and were born,
Every one of us is an elite STAR
Climbing mountains, descending valleys, crying,
before you know it, look, it’s there
In hopelessly hard times, in times so painful you feel like breaking,
the memories of the road you’ve walked, the kindness you’ve been given,
don’t let them go, cry out loud!
You beat the 1/300,000,000 odds and were born,
Every one of us is an elite STAR
Bawling and holding it in your fisted hand,
you’ve come this far up till now!
Don’t curl up upon the round earth, strike out so hard it stings,
Let’s be our true selves! Opening large hands, let’s become ★!
何故に咲いた華は見せ
何故に涙枯れて見せない
笑って笑って君なのに
why are you upset?
笑えず明日を拒んだ
無理に合わせるのも
(you had a lot of pains)
疲れてきただろう
(you held out till now)
シンプルなイキ方で
(it’s not far to get the heaven)
もう 傷も数えなくていい
何故に青い空は見え
何故にこの傷は見えない
笑って笑って君らしく
笑って笑って明日を願うんだ

‘Focus’
by Vidoll
Why can you see the blue sky?
Why can’t you see this scar?
You hold back even your sighs, right?
Not showing weakness isn’t strength,
No doubt today too boys and girls
will type their last wills on the net,
Why can you see the blue sky?
Why can’t you see this scar?
Smile, smile like yourself,
Smile, smile and wish for tomorrow,
Everyone realizes the reality at times,
a world that buys up what ADULTS desire,
And yet because you push yourself to keep on walking,
unable to forget, a scar will form,
Today too boys and girls will forget how to love themselves,
Why can you show the flowers in bloom?
Why can’t you show your drying tears?
Though you’re smiling, smiling,
why are you upset?
I reject a tomorrow where you can’t smile,
Going out of your way to fit in,
(you had a lot of pains)
you’ve grown tired, haven’t you?
(you held out till now)
With a simple way of LIVING
(it’s not far to get the heaven)
It’s ok, you don’t have to count your scars anymore
Why can you see the blue sky?
Why can’t you see this scar?
Smile, smile like yourself,
Smile, smile and wish for tomorrow
＊Gnawing the iron bars in solitary confinement, silence is relief, the night is harsh,
Furnace room MOUSE cage, the weak cling to fragile bodies taking refuge in that place,
Social status disparity, smile for the rich, whip for the losers,
“Daddy! Look, there’s a !” laughs a child,
Unable to live with anything but a twisted face, yet there’s no other way＊
People adorn the city with heroism, the dark side of a wise leader, a secret sneer’s snake venom,
Down the line of inferiority that tethers the brain is a flippantly abandoned metropolis,
Love shaken by illusions, a striking dream, sycophantically grinning butterflies,
“FREAK SHOW! PUPPET”
It’s all because you’re not here, I glare at the corrupted morning sun,
I’ve got slavery numbers.
Wanna call for my lover. Fickle and nervous.
Shout to the cage. It’s a useless night
This oar wears out, to the rose I set afloat “I want to escape”
Sailing on a betrayed ship,
Pushed in by the rolling waves, the lone individual becomes part of a crowd,
Even to my beloved I cannot say “It’s painful”
Give me a poisoned kiss so I won’t wake up to reality,
the “thank you” I want to convey,
Pulled into a sinking boat, at the very least I want to preserve my feelings,
because I love you,
Please live,
this part of me also
＊Though this paragraph is printed in the Japanese lyrics, in the song ryo actually sings the English text next to it first, which is NOT the translation of this Japanese text (its translation is printed before the “poisoned kiss” paragraph in the official English translation). So the part he actually sings in the beginning goes:
Crunch a gate, it was closed. Shut your mouth.
Night thrashes the body. Rat coop in the fireplace.
Brick room for the makeshift life. underdog follows way. (machinery idiot)
Distinct position of two. Smile for the rich. Whip for the losers.
“FREAK SHOW! DADDY!!” laughs a child.
I’m sick, ticking face.
But no way.
Words scattering with a hollow sound,
the words from you that were stored in my heart,
Just like the sand, my reason to live
is being swept away by the wind, leaving only its shape behind,
A cloudy, midwinter sky shrouded in grey,
Did it grow muddy because too many colours were layered on?
It’s as if someone tried to paint my heart
but piled on the brushstrokes and failed,
Will every day continue to pass me by?
Even so, I’ll let it grow stronger, and controlling my hatred for you, I will live with sadness*
In this heart, even if I try to gather them the fragments of the words you gave me
turn to sand, just slip away from these hands,
Only I am hurting, only I am crying
Only I am alone, thinking of you
Did you speak a little of the truth?
I end up doubting everything,
Though I wanted to know your truth,
now I think I wouldn’t have wanted to know such things,
Like the warm moon I wanted to protect you,
But perhaps for you these feelings too
could only become a burden,
Controlling my hatred, I will live with sadness
In this heart, even if I try to gather them the fragments of the words you gave me
turn to sand, just slip away from these hands,
Though it’s frustrating, there are tears left and I miss you
Words scattering with a hollow sound,
the words from you that were stored in my heart
* In this line it’s not specified “what” is growing stronger, but I would assume it means feelings of love or something of that nature.
From the start humans don’t have the foresight to know things like distrust,
but each time they’re betrayed gives birth to suspicion, provokes an explosion,
Give it back! The bite marks you fuckers drove to madness go unreciprocated…torn apart,
now you cling to your hope for salvation, do you want me to laugh at your unsightly death?
【Crash＆born】
Die! As your punishment have your heads cut off and bodies left to run dry!
Die! I’ll deny everything you fuckers are and put an end to this!
I’ll carve it into you a little!…the humiliation you inflicted on me,
You heard the screams of skin being scratched off in that hole, didn’t you?
Cast down there…
【Crash＆born】
Die! As your punishment have your heads cut off and bodies left to run dry!
Die! I’ll deny everything you fuckers are and put an end to this!
Festering and tainting, festering and tainting,
because of my solitary, selfish hesitation,
yes…the repeatedly resurrecting sharp despair…
【Crash＆born】
Die! As your punishment have your heads cut off and bodies left to run dry!
Die! I’ll deny everything you fuckers are and put an end to this!
