それ本気でやってんの　ねえ 	sore honki de yatten no nee 	Are you being serious, Hey?!
おばけを舐めてんの 	obake o nameten no 	Are you lookin’ down on us ghosts?!
また枕元　立ってんの　もう何回やってんの 	mata makuramoto tatten no mou nankai yatten no 	Yet again I’m looming by your pillow, god knows how many times I’ve done this.
「ほら怖がれ」　という態度 	"hora kowagare" to iu taido 	A “Come on, get scared!” attitude
「怖がって欲しい」　という展望 	"kowagatte hoshii" to iu tenbou 	Or an “I want you to be scared…” prospect.
あなたはどっちかな　(知らん) 	anata wa dotchi kana (shiran) 	Which one are you? (dunno!)
神はおっしゃる　どっちでもいい 	kami wa ossharu dotchi demo ii 	God himself says – it doesn’t really matter which.
 	 	
心霊写真は　ウケねらい 	shinrei shashin wa ukenerai 	Ghost photographs are all just plays to the audience,

鬼は外から福は内 	oni wa soto kara fuku wa uchi 	And demons come from outside, fortune comes from within.A reference to setsubun -- a Japanese festival of sorts where beans are thrown to keep demons outside. The line has an underlying meaning about staying in your own way of doing things, staying away from foreign things.
 	 	
自分がない　自分がないから浮かばれない 	jibun ga nai jibun ga nai kara ukabarenai 	I have no “self”– I have no “self” so I can’t pass on.
持論がある　持論があるから報われたい 	jiron ga aru jiron ga aru kara mukuwaretai 	I’ve got my own opinions – I’ve got a bunch of opinions about all this so I want to be rewarded for them.
流行りに乗ってるけど好きでやってんの 	hayari ni notteru kedo suki de yatten no 	I might just be going with the trends, but I’m really doing it because I want to!
ねえ　それとも魂売って自分殺してんの 	nee sore to mo tamashii utte jibun koroshiten no	…Or hey, maybe, I’m selling off my soul and killing my”self” here?
