==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
二階から海が見えた あの人は四月の魚 	nikai kara umi ga mieta ano hito wa shigatsu no sakana 	From the second story, somebody was looking out at the sea. That person was the April Fish.
鉄パイプ振り回して魚は満足してる 	tetsu paipu furimawashite sakana wa manzoku shiteru 	Swinging an iron pipe, the fish was content.
 	 	
二階から人が落ちた 逆さまの海が綺麗 	nikai kara hito ga ochita sakasama no umi ga kirei 	From the second story, a person fell. The upside-down sea was beautiful.
燃えている 	moete iru 	But it’s burning.
 	 	
愛し合った過去の記憶 何かが矛盾している 	aishiatta kako no kioku nanika ga mujun shite iru 	She remembers the past, where they loved each other. But that’s something that’s a contradiction.
「私、死ぬなら小さな水槽の中死にたいわ」 	"watashi, shinu nara chiisana suisou no naka shinitai wa" 	“If I die, I want to die in a small water tank.”
 	 	
四月の魚は風が吹いて長い髪が揺れている 	shigatsu no sakana wa kaze ga fuite nagai kami ga yurete iru	The April Fish is blown by the wind, long hair swaying.
僕たちに春がやってきた 	bokutachi ni haru ga yatte kita 	Spring came around to us.
 	 	
「ねぇ、春は死んだ？」 	"nee, haru wa shinda?" 	"Hey, is spring dead?"
愛しているのは行為だよ 	aishite iru no wa koui da yo 	Loving is how I act.“Loving is how I act” is literally “Loving is a deed.” I interpreted it a little; I think it’s intended to mean that their behavior is based on love. It’s also a pun, as the word deed (/koui/) is very similar to the pronunciation of love (/koi).
リリの白昼夢の最終回は 	riri no hakuchuumu no saishuu kai wa 	In LilyLily is usually written to be pronounced with a long “i” at the end, though here the “i” was short (it’s /riri/ not /rirī/ here). However, I’m not sure what else this could be besides the name Lily.'s daydream, the last past was a

救いようのない人　恋をしてた 	sukui you no nai hito koi o shiteta 	And I loved that person who couldn't be saved. “Person who couldn’t be saved” is literal, but that is a set expression that’s usually translated as “pitiful.” I thought the literal made more sense here, though.
 	 	
チョコレート中毒さ　それはもう大変な 	chokoreeto chuudoku sa sore wa mou taihen na 	My chocolate addiction is really very serious.
甘い甘い結末は望んでなんかいないよ 	amai amai ketsumatsu wa nozonde nanka inai yo 	But I don't wish for a sweet, sweet end
銃口に花束を詰め込んで　さよならを 	juukou ni hanataba o tsumekonde sayonara o 	But a bouquet of flowers was crammed in the gun's muzzle. I said my goodbye.The subject of this sentence was unclear, so I just used passive. Literally it’s “(subject) crammed a bouquet of flowers into the gun’s muzzle.” “I” is probable for the subject, though.
二秒前 	nibyou mae 	Though two seconds before I'd saidLiterally just “Two seconds before.” I interpreted a bit for what it was referring to.
「ほら、早く撃ちなよ。」 	"hora, hayaku uchi na yo." 	"Come on, shoot quickly."
 	 	
「ねぇ、春は死んだ？」 	"nee, haru wa shinda?" 	"Hey, is spring dead?"

リリの白昼夢の最終回は 	riri no hakuchuumu no saishuukai wa 	In Lily's daydream, the last part was a

サナトリウムの中　恋もしてたんだよ 	sanatoriumu no naka koi mo shiteta nda yo 	Inside the sanatorium, even then I loved herLiterally, “Even then I loved” for the second part. However, since it showed her kissing another girl, the “her” didn’t seem like too much of a stretch, although it wasn’t in the lyrics.
