コーヒーカップの中はにぎやかな舞踏会場
カラのカセットテープが巻きついて僕をはなさない
銀色のノイズがマーク・ボランからのプレゼント
消えて行こうよこのままセロファンの花の中に

天使の鱗粉が降りそそぎシリウスを飲み込んだ
時計の針にリズムをあわせたらカタツムリになった
七夕の夜の宇宙船からはラヴソング
落書きをしようかしみだらけの壁が淋しがっているから

   17才の時のビッグバン
   途方にくれてる僕がいた

4-D Visionのらせん階段
   僕は踊りながら生まれ変わった
4-D Visionのらせん階段
   君と歌いながら一つになった

青いいちご畑はホーキングのおもちゃ箱
真っ赤にねじれてギターと抱きあったまま
ノアの箱船で大洪水の銀河を渡り
家を出ようかこのまま白鳥座のブラックホールへ

   12才の時のビッグクランチ
   僕は生まれた事を憎んでた

4-D Visionのらせん階段
   僕は踊りながら生まれ変わった
4-D Visionのらせん階段
   君と歌いながら一つになった
4-D Visionのらせん階段
   僕は歌いながら生まれ変わった
4-D Visionのらせん階段
   君と踊りながら一つになった

Koohii kappu no naka wa nigiyaka na butoukai jou
Kara no kasetto teepu ga makitsuite boku wo hanasanai
Giniro no noizu ga Maaku Boran kara no purezento
Kiete yukou yo kono mama serofan no hana no naka ni

Tenshi no rinpun ga furisosogi shiriusu wo nomikonda
Tokei no hari ni rizumu wo awasetara katatsumuri ni natta
Tanabata no yoru no uchuusen kara wa ravu songu
Rakugaki wo shiyou ka shimi darake no kabe ga sabishigatte iru kara

   Juunana sai no toki no biggu ban
   Tohou ni kureteru boku ga ita

4-D Vision no rasen kaidan
   Boku wa odori nagara umare kawatta
4-D Vision no rasen kaidan
   Kimi to utai nagara hitotsu ni natta

Aoi ichigo hatake wa hookingu no omochabako
Makka ni nejirete gitaa to dakiatta mama
Noa no hakobune de daikouzui no ginga wo watari
Ie wo de you ka kono mama hakuchouza no burakku hooru e

   Juuni sai no toki no biggu kuranchi
   Boku wa umareta koto wo nikundeta

4-D Vision no rasen kaidan
   Boku wa odori nagara umare kawatta
4-D Vision no rasen kaidan
   Kimi to utai nagara hitotsu ni natta
4-D Vision no rasen kaidan
   Boku wa utai nagara umare kawatta
4-D Vision no rasen kaidan
   Kimi to odori nagara hitotsu ni natta

There’s a lively dance floor in my coffee mug
The blank cassette tape wound around me and won’t let me go
This silver-tinted noise is a gift from Marc Bolan
Let’s disappear just like this into cellophane flowers

Scales¹ of angels swallowed down the star of Sirius² raining down
The hands of the clock turned into snails once they match the rhythm
A love song plays from the spaceship on the night of Tanabata³
Shall we doodle? Since the mottled walls look lonely

   The big bang which happened when I was seventeen
   Left me at a loss

4-D Vision Spiral Staircase
   I was born again as I danced
4-D Vision Spiral Staircase
   I became one with you as we sang

The blue strawberry field is Hawking’s⁴ toy box
While hugging the guitar warped in red
I crossed the Great Flood of the Milky Way on Noah’s Ark
Shall I leave home? Otherwise it’s straight into the black hole of Cygnus⁵

   The crunch which happened when I was twelve
   Made me hate being born

4-D Vision Spiral Staircase
   I was born again as I danced
4-D Vision Spiral Staircase
   I became one with you as we sang
4-D Vision Spiral Staircase
   I was born again as I sang
4-D Vision Spiral Staircase
   I became one with you as we danced

 

 

Notes:

¹ As in fish scales, insect scales, etc.

² Also known as the “Dog Star”, the Sirius star is the brightest star in the night sky. Ancient Egyptians believed that Sirius represented the Spirit of Rebirth, of sacred comings and becomings, for people and the land. There are also some who believe that Sirius heals the pain and suffering spanning lifetimes and generations

³ This is likely referencing the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi which Tanabata celebrates. Their story is based on the Chinese folklore story, The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. In both the Japanese and Chinese iterations, the two lovers can only reunite once a year on the 7th day of the 7th month. 

⁴ Stephen Hawking

⁵ Cygnus is a northern constellation on the plane of the Milky Way. Apart from the numerous myths surrounding it, the constellation is also seen as a symbol of transformation, rebirth, and enlightenment.
