蓮池の糸 (Hasuike no Ito)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
掴んでる色を信じない 	tsukanderu iro o shinjinai 	The blind idealists, who don’t believe
盲目の理想論者が 	moumoku no risou ronsha ga 	In hues you can grasp, are parading
腐った エゴを掲げて 	kusatta ego o kakagete 	Their rotten egos around
狡猾に振り翳してる 	koukatsu ni furikazashiteru 	And slyly wielding them like weapons.
 	 	
何百と続く猿芝居 	nanbyaku to tsuzuku sarushibai 	These unconvincing performances continue in the hundreds.
蝋燭に火を灯したら 	rousoku ni hi o tomoshitara 	If I set a candle alight,
手探りの荒屋で 	tesaguri no abaraya de 	Then tonight as well, in this miserable shack
今夜も宝石を探そうとするんだ 	kon'ya mo houseki o sagasou to suru nda 	Of fumbling, they’ll try to search for gemstones.
 	 	
孤独の一つも知らないで 	kodoku no hitotsu mo shiranaide 	Without knowing even a moment of loneliness,
今日も悠々と救いを乞うている 	kyou mo yuuyuu to sukui o koute iru 	I’m calmly begging for salvation today too.
 	 	
解からないんだろう 何時だって 	wakaranai ndarou itsu datte 	But you don’t understand, do you? You’re always entangled
蜘蛛の吐いた糸に絡まってる 	kumo no haita ito ni karamatteru 	In the thread that the spider has spun.Visually at least, this song seems to be based on "The Spider's Thread" by Akutagawa Ryuunosuke.
どこまでも続いた馬鹿な堂々巡りの夜に 	doko made mo tsuzuita baka na doudou meguri no yoru ni 	In this night that’s dragged on till eternity, this night of idiotically going in circles,
解ってる そう 	wakatteru sou 	You’re understanding indeed
意味なんてもの初めからないこと 	imi nante mono hajime kara nai koto 	That from the beginning, there’s been no meaning.
君は吸って吐いた煙に巻かれて 	kimi wa sutte haita kemuri ni makarete 	Shrouded in the smoke that you inhaled and exhaled,
どこにも行けやしないのさ 	doko ni mo ikeyashinai no sa 	There’s absolutely nowhere you can go.
 	 	
不退転とか宣ってる 	futaiten toka notamatteru 	The lost and rootless children,
根無草の迷子は 	nenashigusa no maigo wa 	Delighted to declare their determination or whatever,
歪んでる青いレンズで 	yuganderu aoi renzu de 	Only dream of Paradise
楽園を夢見るだけ 	rakuen o yumemiru dake 	Through a warped blue lens.
 	 	
不幸に目が慣れきってる 	fukou ni me ga narekitteru 	Pessimists whose eyes are fully accustomed
ペシミストは最期まで 	peshimisuto wa saigo made 	To misfortune will be unable to notice
並んだ花束に気づけない 	naranda hanataba ni kizukenai 	The lined-up bouquets until their last moments,
灯台は崩れ落ちていくんだ 	toudai wa kuzureochite iku nda 	For the lighthouse goes on crumbling down.
 	 	
屍の上に飛び乗って 	shikabane no ue ni tobinotte 	Jumping upon the moving corpses,
今日も滔々と教えを説いている 	kyou mo toutou to oshie o toite iru 	I’m fluently preaching a doctrine today too.
 	 	
下らないことを並べて 	kudaranai koto o narabete 	You’re lining up useless things
ありもしない傷を弄ってる 	ari mo shinai kizu o masagutteru 	And fiddling with nonexistent wounds.
ここらでもう終わりだ 	kokora de mou owari da 	The end is now somewhere around here.
ちゃちな妄想だらけのヒスは 	chachi na mousou darake no hisu wa 	As for a hysteria riddled with cheap delusions,
縋ってるのは 	sugatteru no wa 	Clinging to it is an ideal
過去のフリしたどこにもない理想 	kako no furi shita doko ni mo nai risou 	That can be found nowhere, pretending to be the past.
「いつか擦って減った思考で前が正しく見えたら良いかも」なんて 	"itsuka kosutte hetta shikou de mae ga tadashiku mietara ii kamo" nante	Something like, “It might be good if, someday, my front appears correct through my thoughts being worn down.”
 	 	
掴んでる色を信じない 	tsukanderu iro o shinjinai 	The blind idealists, who don’t believe
盲目の理想論者が 	moumoku no risou ronsha ga 	In hues you can grasp, are parading
腐った エゴを掲げて 	kusatta ego o kakagete 	Their rotten egos around
狡猾に振り翳してる 	koukatsu ni furikazashiteru 	And slyly wielding them like weapons.
 	 	
何百と続く猿芝居 	nanbyaku to tsuzuku sarushibai 	These unconvincing performances continue in the hundreds.
蝋燭に火を灯したら 	rousoku ni hi o tomoshitara 	If I set a candle alight,
手探りの荒屋で 	tesaguri no abaraya de 	Then tonight as well, in this miserable shack
今夜も 	kon'ya mo 	Of fumbling—
 	 	
解からないんだろう 何時だって 	wakaranai ndarou itsu datte 	You don’t understand, do you? You’re always entangled
蜘蛛の吐いた糸に絡まってる 	kumo no haita ito ni karamatteru 	In the thread that the spider has spun.
どこまでも続いた馬鹿な堂々巡りの夜に 	doko made mo tsuzuita baka na doudou meguri no yoru ni 	In this night that’s dragged on till eternity, this night of idiotically going in circles,
解ってる そう 	wakatteru sou 	You’re understanding indeed
意味なんてもの初めからないこと 	imi nante mono hajime kara nai koto 	That from the beginning, there’s been no meaning.
君は吸って吐いた煙に巻かれて 	kimi wa sutte haita kemuri ni makarete 	Shrouded in the smoke that you inhaled and exhaled,
どこにも行けやしないのさ 	doko ni mo ikeyashinai no sa 	There’s absolutely nowhere you can go.
 	 	
行けやしないのさ 	ikeyashinai no sa 	You absolutely can’t leave.
