メイメイネイバー (Mei Mei Neighbor)

==Lyrics==
Singer	Yuzuru (Dark)	Yuzuru
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
鏡合わせになれない 	kagami awase ni narenai 	I can't face the mirror anymore
答え合わせもできない 	kotae awase mo dekinai 	And I can't face the answerThe word used here, 答え合わせ, means "checking one's answers (to see if they're correct)". But since this appears right after 鏡合わせ ("facing the mirror"), I thought the 合わせ might be trying to evoke the same idea of "facing", so I went with that since I felt it also covers the other meaning in a way., either
どっちつかずでいればよかった 	docchi tsukazu de ireba yokatta 	I should have stayed out of it all
 	 	
君の影を追いかける 	kimi no kage o oikakeru 	I chase after your shadow
僕の影は問いかける 	boku no kage wa toikakeru 	My shadow asks a question
ひたむき抱いて 	hitamuki daite 	Why is it that the wounds I made worse
拗れていた傷は 	kojireteita kizu wa 	when I embraced you so eagerly
痛まないのか 	itamanai no ka 	don't hurt in the slightest?
 	 	
はじめに毒を 	hajime ni doku o 	First, add the poison
お次に今を 	otsugi ni ima o 	Next, add the here and now
肥大する過去が 	hidai suru kako ga 	Since the ever-swelling past
止まないから 	yamanai kara 	never stops growing
人を繋げと歌う 	hito o tsunage to utau 	To connect people, we sing
正解は無いんだろう 	seikai wa nai n darou 	There's no correct answer, right?
 	 	
伊呂波学べど 	iroha manabedo 	No matter how long I study the ABCsThe word used here is 伊呂波, "iroha", the name of a Japanese poem known for being a perfect pangram, containing every character in the Japanese syllabary at the time exactly once. This made it be used as an ordering reference, and it's where it takes its meaning of "the fundamentals" or "the ABCs". The poem itself actually gets referenced later in the song too: the lines sung by the regular Iori Yuzuru take direct inspiration from it.On another note, in the first two lines of this and the second prechorus, the kanji that make up Iori Yuzuru's name appear sequentially (伊呂波学べど / 織りなす嘘に / 弓が弾けた / 飛び立つ鶴は),
織りなす嘘に 	orinasu uso ni 	I can't mix even a single
優しさ一つも混ぜれぬまま 	yasashisa hitotsu mo mazerenu mama 	hint of kindess in the lies I weave
隣り合う孤独に寄り添うと 	tonariau kodoku ni yorisou to 	when I snuggle up to the loneliness right next to me
 	 	
言いかけた思いすら切り裂いて 	iikaketa omoi sura kirisaite 	I tear apart even the thoughts I began to voice
落ちる　落ちる　明冥の夢 	ochiru ochiru meimei no yume 	and fall, and fall, into a chiaroscuro dream
欠けたお月様煌めいて 	kaketa otsukisama kirameite 	The great moon, waning, sends its light
視えぬ　視えぬ　星の向こうへ 	mienu mienu hoshi no mukou e 	to beyond the invisible, invisible stars
「僕の願いごと連れてって」 	"boku no negaigoto tsuretette" 	"Take my wishes with you"
生きる　生きる　理想の縁に 	ikiru ikiru risou no fuchi ni 	We live, we live, on the brink of an ideal
どちらか片方は消えてゆくと分かってたよ 	dochira ka katahou wa kiete yuku to wakatteta yo	Though I already knew one of the two would disappear
 	 	
鏡合わせになれない 	kagami awase ni narenai 	I can't face the mirror anymore
答え合わせもできない 	kotae awase mo dekinai 	And I can't face the answer, either
どっちつかずでいれば僕らは 	docchi tsukazu de ireba bokura wa 	We should have stayed out of it all
 	 	
君の影を歪めずに 	kimi no kage o yugamezu ni 	Without distorting your shadow
僕の影は踏まれずに 	boku no kage wa fumarezu ni 	and without stepping on my own,
下向き凪いで白痴のふり 	shitamuki naide hakuchi no furi 	I pretend to be a meek moron
傷は痛まないのだ 	kizu wa itamanai no da 	so my wounds don't hurt
 	 	
一人に明日を 	hitori ni asu o 	A morning for one
萬に価値を 	yorozu ni kachi o 	and value for a myriad of things
飼いきれぬ意図に睨まれては 	kai kirenu ito ni niramarete wa 	So long as I can't have the means to kill them, then I'll have to think of
殺める術を持てず正解とするんだろう 	ayameru sube o motezu seikai to suru n darou 	being glared by the plans I couldn't fully carry out as the correct answer
 	 	
弓が弾けた 	yumi ga hajiketa 	A bow was strung
飛び立つ鶴は 	tobitatsu tsuru wa 	Does the crane that took flight
穢れゆく大地を恨むのか 	kegare yuku daichi o uramu no ka 	resent the ever-corrupt land?
「誰の声も全部いらない」と 	"dare no koe mo zenbu iranai" to 	"I don't need anyone's voice at all", he said
 	 	
言いかけた思いすら切り裂いて 	iikaketa omoi sura kirisaite 	You tear apart even the thoughts you began to voice
落ちる　落ちる　明冥の夢 	ochiru ochiru meimei no yume 	and fall, and fall, into a chiaroscuro dream
駆けた走馬灯廻りきって 	kaketa soumatou meguri kitte 	My life flashed right before my eyes
視える　視える　表の考へ 	mieru mieru omote no kou e 	and stayed, and stayed, in the front of my mind
「僕の呪いごと連れてって」 	"boku no noroigoto tsuretette" 	"Take my curses with you"
癒えぬ　癒えぬ　恐怖の枷に 	ienu ienu kyoufu no kase ni 	None can recover, can recover, from the shackles of fear
どちらか片方は繋がれてるままだけど 	dochira ka katahou wa tsunagareteru mama dakedo 	Though I knew only one of the two was chained by them...
 	 	
吠えど吠えど散りぬるを 	hoedo hoedo chirinuru o 	Weep and weep as you may, all shall eventually scatter
我が世誰ぞ　常ならむ 	wa ga yo dare zo tsunenaramu 	For who in this world remains unchanging?
有為を有為を悔やまずは 	ui o ui o kuyamazu wa 	All is powerless, powerless, before impermanence
いられぬこの世を 	irarenu kono yo o 	A wretched world such as that
正さなきゃ 	tadasanakya 	has to be made right
 	 	
さあ継承　ずれる信仰　淀む感情 	saa keishou zureru shinkou yodomu kanjou 	Come now; your succession, your deviating faith, your stagnating feelings--
僕の言動不一致は 	boku no gendou fuicchi wa 	You told me that my insincerity
誰も傷つけてないと 	dare mo kizutsuketenai to 	wouldn't hurt anyone...!
 	 	
言いかけた思いすら切り裂いて 	iikaketa omoi sura kirisaite 	I tear apart even the thoughts I began to voice
落ちる　落ちる　明冥の夢 	ochiru ochiru meimei no yume 	and fall, and fall, into a chiaroscuro dream
描けた明日でさえ振り切って 	kaketa asu de sae furikitte 	I reject even the tomorrow I once imagined
響く　響く　悴む声 	hibiku hibiku kajikamu koe 	and it resounds, it resounds, my cold-numb voice
僕の答えなど捨て去って 	boku no kotae nado sutesatte 	I leave my answers behind
朽ちる　朽ちる　世界の果てに 	kuchiru kuchiru sekai no hate ni 	left to rot, left to rot, at the end of the world
「こちら側は邪魔でしかないから」と 	"kochira gawa wa jama de shikanai kara" to 	"All there is over here would only hinder you", he said
振りほどき　消えてしまった 	furihodoki kieteshimatta 	So he shook free and vanished in thin air,
メイメイネイバー 	meimei neibaa 	my bright neighborWhile it's likely that the title, メイメイネイバー, is supposed to be interpreted as "dark neighbor" and "bright neighbor" simultaneously, the メイメイネイバー here seems to be from the singer, Yuzuru Dark, to the regular Yuzuru. As such, I decided to translate this one as just "bright neighbor" instead....
