Japanese

アルカロイドの夢を見て
      バスタブの中で目が醒めた
            今日はどこまで 飛んで行こう
ニュース･ショウのブラウン管から
      青いバナナ･フィッシュが飛び出す
            何匹目だ？ 数えきれない
電子回路の迷路ぬけて
      発情した都市がゆれる
            いい気分だ ステキな所
アスファルトの遺跡の上
      新しいピラミッドが光る
            霧にかすんで 今日もきれいだ

くずれる街のLustful Illusion
欲望から生まれたFinal Illusion
      ここは最高の遊び場さ

ブラインドおろした部屋は
      深海魚になった気分
            外に出よう 泳いで行こう
ハロウィン･ジャックのたまり場は
      サーチ･ライトに照らされたビル
            ドーパミンが あふれる所

今欲しいのはBad Stimulation
人間達のLustful Solution
            ここは最高の遊び場さ

Slap-Bang Wild Child
どこにいるんだい?
Slap-Bang Wild Child
誰といるんだい?
Slap-Bang Wild Child
楽しんでるかい?

Dreaming alkaloid¹ dreams
      I wake up in the bathtub
            How far will we fly today
From the cathode-ray tube’s² news program
      Blue banana fish come flying out
            How many are there? They’re countless
Coming out of the maze of electrical circuits
      A city in heat quivers
            It’s a wondrous feeling, a lovely place
On the ruins of the asphalt
      A new pyramid gleams
            Shrouded in fog, it’s beautiful as always

The Lustful Illusion of the crumbling city
The Final Illusion born of desire
      This is the best playground there is

In a room with the blinds pulled down
      I feel like I’ve become a deep-sea fish
            Let’s go out, let’s go swimming
Halloween Jack’s³ haunt
      Is a building lit by searchlights
            A place overflowing with Dopamine

Bad Stimulation is what I desire now
The Lustful Solution of humans
            This is the best playground there is

Slap-Bang Wild Child
Where are you?
Slap-Bang Wild Child
Who are you with?
Slap-Bang Wild Child
Are you having fun?

風に晒されて今 砂の城が崩れる
安らぎも悲しみも 何もかも飲み込んで
君の瞳の奥 銀河が流れていた
天使達の涙 地平線の彼方へ

サラサラとこぼれる 幸福な時代

星降る蜃気楼へ 僕たちは落ちて行く
ホルスの眼に射抜かれて 時間の砂漠の中で
儚い夢に凍えてた

想い出の化石は 切ない声を上げた
水銀のような月 あの日を反射してる

確かなものなんて 何もなかったのさ

星降る蜃気楼へ 僕たちは落ちて行く
ホルスの眼に射抜かれて 時間の砂漠の中で
懐かしい夢を見ていた

星降る蜃気楼へ 僕たちは落ちて行く
ホルスの眼に射抜かれて 時間の砂漠の中で
儚い夢に震えてた

Now exposed to the wind, the sand castle collapses
Swallowing everything down, be it tranquility, be it sorrow
The Milky Way flows in the depths of your eyes
While the tears of the angels flow away, beyond the horizon

Happy times trickle away, scattering, rustling*

Into a star-filled mirage we fall
Piercing through the Eye of Horus in the desert of time
Frozen by an ephemeral dream

Heartrending voices rise from the fossils of my memories
As that day reflects on the moon like liquid silver**

For there is no such thing as absolute certainty

Into a star-filled mirage we fall
Piercing through the Eye of Horus in the desert of time
I dreamt a dream of nostalgia

Into a star-filled mirage we fall
Piercing through the Eye of Horus in the desert of time
Shaken by a fading dream***

Fall in the Mirage Future in fossil
We’re in a desert Freeze in dream

Sepia-Tinted Melody

Lyrics By ISSAY

Japanese

古びたradioからは君の好きだったメロディー
懐かしいシネマみたい セピア色の香り
ベッドの中で君は羊数えていたね
あの頃世界はまだ果てしなく続いてた

      いつの日か思い出すだろう
            あの小さな部屋
      君が今幸せならば I’m so happy
      古びた radio からはセピア色の Love song

鏡の前で君はいつもゆっくり化粧
煙草をふかしながら僕は君を見てた
つまらないジョークとばし二人よく笑ったね
季節が変わるごとに世界は色あせてった

      いつの日か君は忘れる
            あの小さな部屋
      君が今幸せならばそれでいいさ
      古びたradioからはセピア色のメロディー

From the old radio I hear a melody which you so loved
Just like nostalgic cinema Sepia-colour scented
Weren’t you lying in bed counting sheep?
The world of those days still continues going on endlessly

      I believe you’ll remember someday
            That little room
      As long as you’re happy now I’m so happy
      From the old radio I hear a sepia-tinted Love song

You’ve always taken your time applying makeup before the mirror
Smoking a stick of tobacco, I watched you
Didn’t we both laugh a lot at the blurt of a cheesy joke?
With the turn of each season, colours faded from the world

      You’ll forget about it someday
            That little room
      As long as you’re happy now, that’s all right
      From the old radio I hear a sepia-tinted melody

風が吹き抜けて
夏が立ち去り
目の前の「君」が
悲しく笑う

そんな風に幕は降りて
今は陽炎の中
一人で踊ってる

Pas Seul Pas Seul ……I miss “you”

僕は「君」を探すために生まれた
今さらどこへも行けやしないさ

日ざしの中
浮かんで消えた
切ない残像は
僕を追いかける

The wind blows by
Summer has gone
“You” who stands before me
Gave a melancholic smile

The curtains fall just like that
Now, in the heat haze
I dance alone

Pas Seul Pas Seul ……I miss “you”

I was born to search for “you”
And now, there’s nowhere I can go

In the sunshine
Drifting and disappearing
The painful afterimage
Chases after me

Pas Seul Pas Seul ……I miss “you”

The sound of knocking on the door
Resonates in my chest
“I’m so lonely without ‘you’”
My heart bursts open
I cry for only “You”
I fly for only “Love”

Holding the chorus-tarnished* song close
My fingertips trace “your” shadow
Cries which don’t make a sound
Blanket the sleepless night
I cry for only “You”
I fly for only “Love”

Past this unbearable night
I’ll surely find my way to “you”
I can’t cry for anyone
I sing at the top of my voice
I cry for only “You”
I fly for only “Love”

これは愛の歌　置き去りにされた声

そう、それはあなたが全てを捨て輝く時に始まる

忘却の彼方　虚しいため息達

高らかに歌え　破裂しかけた歌を
狂おしく歌え　破裂し終えた歌を

This is a love song, a voice left behind
Digging deep into you, screaming
Gone on a journey in the fickle flow
Stepping on it, I fell from the hourglass

This is a love song, a faraway resonance in the distance
Looking ahead lies only a narrow path to the moon

Neo Flower Moon　Neo Flower Moon
Neo Flower Moon　Neo Flower Moon…

In the darkness, thin smiles spread on the puppeteers’ faces
As they beckon you to the other side of the unknown door
Holding only light in our hearts, let’s make our way into the depths of darkness
That’s right, it’s time for you to leave everything behind and shine

Beyond oblivion, a collective of empty sighs
Hands raised towards the heavens, they sing
Sing it loud, this song on the verge of rupturing
Sing with mad fervour, this song now in shreds

Neo Flower Moon　Neo Flower Moon
Neo Flower Moon　Neo Flower Moon…

Neo Flower Moon　Neo Flower Moon
Neo Flower Moon　Neo Flower Moon…

Slowly, Quickly, Dream was woven

In the darkness, thin smiles spread on the puppeteers’ faces

愛し合う 恋人達の影が
つかの間に 消える昼に生きる
ビルの谷間で 四角い空見上げ
幻のように 寄り添っていた

Fly away 風の中に
Fly away ただ見果てぬ夢を 見つめて

生きるなら 泡沫の夜に
望むなら 永遠の今を
歌うのならば 濡れた心で
許されるのなら あなたと二人で

Fly away 風の中に
Fly away 消えてゆくのさ

ため息まじりでふり向いてみれば
すれ違いゆれる昨日 今日 明日
蜃気楼の中 足を踏み入れ
砂漠の上に時間が広がる

Fly away 風の中に
Fly away 消えてゆくのさ
Fly away 風の中に
Fly away ただ見果てぬ夢を
Fly away 風の中に
Fly away 寄りそいながら
Fly away 風の中に
Fly away 消えてゆくのさ

The shadows of lovers in love
Living fleeting in the vanishing day
Looking up at the square-shaped sky in the valley of the skyscrapers
Like phantoms, they huddled close

Fly away in the wind
Fly away, fixated on the far-off dream, staring

If I were to live, I’d live an ephemeral night
If I were to want, I’d want an eternal present
If I were to sing, I’d sing with a tear-drenched heart
If I were allowed, I’d be with you

Fly away in the wind
Fly away, fade and disappear

Turning around to look back with a sigh
To yesterday, today, and tomorrow, passing by, swaying
Stepping feet-first into the mirage
Time unravels above the desert

Fly away in the wind
Fly away, fade and disappear
Fly away in the wind
Fly away, fixated on the far-off dream
Fly away in the wind
Fly away while leaning in close
Fly away in the wind
Fly away, fade and disappear

Notes:

¹ 見果てぬ basically translates into “something that is unattainable” so with 夢 (dream) attached to it, there’s a variety of words that could be used in place of “far-off” like, unfinished dream, endless dream, unending dream, unfulfilled dream, unrealised dream and the list goes on.

Serpents 罪深い地下世界にひそんでる
Serpents 誘惑に跪くクラッシュノイズ

Serpents Lurking in the sinful underground world
Serpents Kneeling to temptation with the noise of a crash
Descending the slopes, going through the bushes, in search of a wet door

Serpents Lightning bolts of pleasure like flash lasers¹
Run for the underground, escape beneath the surface, into the steel coffin

The Metro writhes from depths to darkness
Crawling around from love to lust, this is the serpent’s creep show

The sound of brakes reverberate in a screeching groan

The Metro wanders from night to night
Flicking its tongue around an evil subconscious, this is the serpent’s creep show
The Metro writhes from depths to darkness
Crawling around from love to lust, this is the serpent’s creep show
