天鵞絨の泡影 (Biroudo no Houei)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
な表情を湛えた 	nihiru na hyoujou o tataeta sentensu 	A sentence filled with nihilistic expressions
俯瞰を煽動のは 	fukan o sendou no paasu wa nansensu 	The perspective of the bird’s-eye view and agitation is nonsense
小さき脳髄で、地球儀を解読 	chiisaki nouzui de, chikyuugi o kaidoku 	With my small brain, I am deciphering a globe
将に、上面の青二才の書生論 	hata ni, uwatsura no aonisai no shoseiron 	Surely, this is a novice’s surface level impractical argument
 	 	
「知恵」のに、浸れども 	“chie” no umi ni, hitaredo mo 	Even if one sinks into a sea of “wisdom”
游がねば畳上の水練に程近し 	oyoganeba joujou no suiren ni hodo chikashi	It will be no different from swimming on tatami mats if one does not swim
のまれてみて、おぼれてみて 	nomarete mite, oborete mite 	Try becoming engulfed, try to drown
息継ぎくらいは覚えましょう 	ikitsugi kurai wa oboemashou 	Let us think about taking a breatherThis possibly means taking a break, but also something like breathing while swimming.
そんな前提だって、廻らない 	sonna zentei datte, mawaranai 	Even with such a premise, it does not function well
 	 	
唯の泡になって、泡になって 	tada no awa ni natte, awa ni natte 	Turn into bubbles, mere bubbles
真赤な煩悩よ滅却してしまえ 	makka na bonnou yo mekkyaku shite shimae 	and vanquish those bright red and worldly desires
痣になって、転び続けてでも 	aza ni natte, korobitsuzukete demo 	Even if I keep falling and getting bruised up
・・・・・・叶わぬ夢を見る 	......kanawanu yume o miru 	… I am dreaming something unachievable
 	 	
「及第点」などありゃしない 	“kyuudaiten” nado aryashinai 	Things like “passing grades” do not even exist
理想とは、仲たがいなり 	risou to riaru wa, nakatagai nari 	Dreams and reality are one in the same
何処も彼処も、違和感だらけ 	doko mo kashiko mo, iwakan darake 	No matter where I am, something feels off
まよかしだ・・・「違う！」 	mayokashi da… “chigau!” 	It is phony… “You are incorrect!”
 	 	
敵意は真っ直ぐ自分、唯一人 	tekii wa massugu jibun, tada hitori 	My hostility comes straight for me, and only for me
「自嘲と自責」の順繰り巡り 	“jichou to jiseki” no junguri meguri 	I keep going in circles over “self-deprecation and self-condemnation”
ふつうに生きるのに疲れたと 	futsuu ni ikiru no ni tsukareta to 	I am tired of living like a normal frogAlthough frog isn’t literally said, I feel it fits for the translation as the producer uses frog imagery and will even call themself a frog as well.
ばらりはらり、積もりゆく 	barari harari, tsumori yuku peeji 	The pages lightly and gently are piling up
何処を捲れど答合せじゃない 	doko o mekuredo kotaeawase ja nai 	No matter where I turn the page, it is not the answer I am looking for
 	 	
それが仇になって仇になって 	sore ga ada ni natte ada ni natte 	That has backfired on me, oh how it has backfired
折角の宴も馴染めないままに 	sekkaku no utage mo najimenai mama ni 	If I am unable to fit into this precious banquet
痣になって踊り続けるのなら 	aza ni natte odoritsuzukeru no nara 	while I also keep dancing and getting bruised up
何も知らずに、井戸にもぐり 	nani mo shirazu ni, ido ni moguri 	without knowing a single thing, I will leap into a wellThis might possibly be reference to the Japanese phrase 井の中の蛙 (A frog in a well) which generally means “someone who is narrow-minded.”
 	 	
唯の泡になって、泡になって 	tada no awa ni natte, awa ni natte 	Turn into bubbles, mere bubbles
誰もが僕など忘れてくれよと 	dare mo ga boku nado wasurete kure yo to 	Everyone, please forget about someone like me
泣き喚いて縋りついてみても 	nakiwameite sugaritsuite mite mo 	Even if I cling onto someone and bawl,
揺るがぬ生を知る、そもそも 	yuruganu sei o shiru, somosomo 	I will come to know about an unwavering life. After all—
 	 	
大概「感情」なんて俗な徒事 	taigai “kanjou” nante zoku na tadagoto 	In general, things like “emotions” are a commonly trivial matter
煮え滾る羨望も　空回り続く 	nietagiru senbou mo karamawari tsuzuku 	My boiling envy keeps on turning
焦燥も真実なんて一つもない 	shousou mo shinjitsu nante hitotsu mo nai 	There is no frustration or truth
この世が、でも贋物でも 	kono yo ga maboroshi demo nisemono demo 	Whether this world is an illusion or a phony,
もう、どうだっていいのさ！ 	mou, dou datte ii no sa! 	I don’t really care anymore,
 	 	
己が身ですらも・・・・・・ 	onoga mi de sura mo...... 	Even about myself......
