Kaikai Kitan

In the chaos, we become
有象無象 人の成り
uzō muzō hito no nari
A facade of strength, like a monster, oh it’s like a spirit
虚勢心象 人外 ああ物の怪みたいだ
kyosei shinsō jingai ā mono no ka mitai da
With an open heart, life breathes within
虚心坦懐 命宿し
kyoshin tankai inochi yadoshi
And then it’s just a hollow shell, a person with no substance
あとはぱっぱらぱな 中身なき人間
ato wa pappara pana nakami naki ningen

Expectations weigh heavy in this unfair life
寄せる期待不平等な人生
yoseru kitai fubyōdō na jinsei
No talent to speak of, just a grand illusion
才能もない 大乗 非日常が
tainō mo nai daijō hi nichijō ga
Equal in resentment and indifference
怨親平等に没個性
onshin byōdō ni bokkosei
Chasing memories, I find no place for myself
辿る記憶 僕に 居場所などないから
tadoru kioku boku ni ibasho nado nai kara

Stop crying in the gap of dreams
夢の狭間で泣いてないで
yume no hazama de naitenai de
I know what kind of face to put on
どんな顔すればいいか わかってる
donna kao sureba ii ka wakatteru
But still, just answer me
だけどまだ応えてくれよ
dakedo mada kotaete kure yo

Exorcise the darkness, exorcise the darkness
闇を祓って 闇を祓って
yami wo haratte yami wo haratte
When the night falls, that’s the signal
夜の帳が下りたら合図だ
yoru no tobira ga oritara aizu da
Facing off in this circular battle
相対して 回る環状戦
sōtai shite mawaru kanjō sen
Spit out the nonsense and let it go
戯言などは吐き捨ていけと
zaregoto nado wa hakisute ike to

Don’t stop yet, don’t stop yet
まだ止めないで まだ止めないで
mada tomenai de mada tomenai de
I want to be sharper than anyone else, born in this city
誰よりも聡く在る 街に生まれしこの正体を
dare yori mo sōku aru machi ni umare shi kono shōtai wo
For now, I’m just creating my cursed, cursed future
今はただ 呪い呪われた僕の未来を創造して
ima wa tada noroi norowareta boku no mirai wo sōzō shite

Running and falling
走って転んで
hashitte koronde
Carrying pain that won’t fade away
消えない痛み抱いては
kienai itami daite wa
The world is waiting
世界が待ってる
sekai ga matteru
For this very moment
この一瞬を
kono isshun wo

Ah, lyrical emotions are glitching
Ah 抒情的 感情が 揺らいでいくバグ
Ah jojōteki kanjō ga yurande iku bagu
The punishment for following blindly, a flaw
従順に従った欠陥の罰
jūjun ni shitagatta kekkan no batsu
With no choice but to protect this love, it’s fleeting
死守選択しかない愛に無常気
shishu sentaku shika nai ai ni mujōki
Unable to even make a sound
声も出せないまま
koe mo dasenai mama

Ah, a puppet with no vows, a night of a hundred demons
Ah 傀儡な誓いのなき 百鬼夜行
Ah karakuri na chikai no naki hyakki yakō
Ah, even to the end of this string of beads
Ah 数珠繋ぎなこの果てまでも
Ah juzu tsunagi na kono hate made mo
Rebirth in paradise, kicking reality aside
極楽往生 現実蹴って凪いで
gokuraku ōjō genjitsu kette naide
Don’t throw your life away
命を投げ出さないで
inochi wo nagedasanai de

Drowning in my own fragility
内の脆さに浸って
uchi no morosa ni hitatte
I don’t know what kind of face to make
どんな顔すればいいか わかんないよ
donna kao sureba ii ka wakannai yo
For now, just answer me
今はただ応えてくれよ
ima wa tada kotaete kure yo

Unraveling the constants, unraveling the constants
五常を解いて 五常を解いて
gojō wo toite gojō wo toite
Weaving uncertain voices, ah, ideas
不確かな声を紡ぐ ah イデイ
futashika na koe wo tsubugu ah idei
Counteracting and spinning emotional lines
相殺して 廻る感情線
sōsai shite mawaru kanjō sen
Now, a hand rises ahead
その先に今 立ち上がる手を
sono saki ni ima tachiagaru te wo

Just keep chasing, just keep chasing
ただ追いかけて ただ追いかけて
tada oikakete oikakete
I wish to be stronger than anyone else
誰よりも強く在りたいと願う
dare yori tsuyoku aritai to negau
Even your fate, for now, is just
君の運命すら 今はただ
kimi no unmei sura ima wa tada
Deeply, deeply sinking into the dark night
仄暗い夜の底に 深く深く落ちこんで
horokurai yoru no soko ni fukaku fukaku ochikonde

Did I look awkward to you?
不格好に見えたかい
bukakkō ni mieta kai
This is who I am now
これが今の僕なんだ
kore ga ima no boku nanda
Just a corpse that can’t become anything, laugh at me
何者にも成れないだけの屍だ 嗤えよ
nanimono ni mo narenai dake no shikabane da warae yo

I’ve even stopped running away from everything in front of me
目の前の全てから逃げることさえやめた
me no mae no subete kara nigeru koto sae yameta
Repeating the image, go beyond the imagination
イメージを繰り返し想像の先をいけと
imeeji wo kurikaeshi sōzō no saki wo ike to

Exorcise the darkness, exorcise the darkness
闇を祓って 闇を祓って
yami wo haratte yami wo haratte
When the night falls, that’s the signal
夜の帳が下りたら合図だ
yoru no tobira ga oritara aizu da
Facing off in this circular battle
相対して 回る環状戦
sōtai shite mawaru kanjō sen
