唄う金切り　零れたソレは The desire of tongue twitches because of the moaning of flesh 肉の嗚咽に　引き攣る舌の欲 It shrieked and fell 手枷　足枷　猿轡 Handcuffs, fetters, gags 飲み込むが美徳　五寸の憐れみ Swallow up virtues, five inches of pity* 爪を剥がされる　一枚…二枚… One piece... Two pieces... Of nails are ripped off* 意識に「さよなら」と手を振る Wave goodbye to conciousness 契り　ギリギリと千切れば其処は If we join as one tightly and tear apart, it will feel like* 夢見心地の桃源郷 The arcadia from dream 蝋燭ゆらり　浮かぶ現世 Candles flicker, the present life appears 「アカイミハジケタ」 'The red fruit bursted open' 醜悪な奇声に酔い　朽ちた人と舞う宵 Be intoxicated in the ugly strange sounds, and dance with the rotten man at night 貫く怨嗟　浴びる絶叫　染まるは死化粧 Resentment pierces through, bathe in screams, put on mortuary makeup 恨んだ裏に麗ら　羨む程の愛を There is love in hate, a love that everyone envies 故に執着　夢に終着の宴 Therefore there is obsession, a feast that ends in the dream 意識は溷濁　迷走　あちらこちららららら Getting dazed, staggering around, here and there 結んで開いて　瞑想　ふらふらふららららら Open and close, closed eyes and empty head, Feeling like the world is spinning around 丑の刻の目覚め Arising at the hour of the ox* MV: 「お慕い申しております」 'I sincerely adore you' その一言を飲み込み続けた I had been keeping it to myself その一言を喰らい続けた I had been tortured by it ひた隠しにしてきた想いは The hidden feeling 私から這い出ようとしている Is crawling out of me 今日 Today 昨日 Yesterday 一昨日 The day before yesterday ずっと…ずっと…ずっと… It is always on my mind... ある日 One day 小さな音が一つ… It turns into a tiny sound... *Note: アカイミハジケタ: Or written as '赤い実はじけた', it is a phrase that means puppy love or falling in love, which comes from Keiko Nagita's 1992 novel of the same name. The novel is about primary school students falling in love and is a primary 6 Japanese language teaching material. 五寸: During the ox-hour shrine-visit, the practitioner will nail a straw doll representing her target to a sacred tree at the Shinto shrine with five-inched nails. 爪を剥がされる: A part of the target (usually nails or hair) or related item (like photos) is put into the straw doll for cursing. 契り: The word can mean 'sexual intercouse' or 'vow'. 丑の刻の目覚め: Could be related to ox-hour shrine-visit (ushi no koku mairi, 丑の刻参り).
