ベロニカ (Veronica)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
闇にゆらりゆらぐ遊園都市《ベロニカ》 	yami ni yurari yuragu yuuen toshi beronika 	In the pure darkness is an amusement park, flickering with the name "Veronica"
嗚呼 まるで世界の心臓みたいだった 	aa marude sekai no shinzou mitai datta 	Ah, everything about it looked just like the heart of the world.
文字の雨が降る 叙景の向こう 	moji no ame ga furu jokei no mukou 	I’ve always been looking for you ever since that day,
あの日からきみを見ている 	ano hi kara kimi o mite iru 	where the rain of letters fell into the scenery.
 	 	
どこか きみの影を持った街は息をして 	dokoka kimi no kage o motta machi wa iki o shite	Somewhere, the city that held your shadow breathes,
酸素が生まれ 肺に融けて 	sanso ga umare hai ni tokete 	which creates oxygen that melts entirely in my lungs,
血に乗って巡る 	chi ni notte meguru 	then circulates through my blood.
 	 	
夜に聳える時計塔 過去を刻んでも 	yoru ni sobieru tokeitou kako o kizande mo 	No matter how much of the past the clock tower that soars within the night ticks by,
あの日の約束はもう叶えられないの 	ano hi no yakusoku wa mou kanaerarenai no 	our promise from that day will remain forever unfulfilled.
 	 	
午前0時の夜汽車に乗って 	gozen reiji no yogisha ni notte 	I’ll board a midnight train
銀河を越えてきみを迎えに行くよ 	ginga o koete kimi o mukae ni yuku yo 	across the galaxy to pick you up.
 	 	
第4地区の片隅で 	dai yonchiku no katasumi de 	The heart that I dropped into a
落とした心臓が脈を打つ 	otoshita shinzou ga myaku o utsu 	corner of District 4 pulsates.
 	 	
闇にゆらりゆらぐ遊園都市《ベロニカ》 	yami ni yurari yuragu yuuen toshi beronika 	In the pure darkness is an amusement park, flickering with the name "Veronica"
首くくりくるり眩む 脳に焼き付いて 	kubikukuri kururi kuramu nou ni yakitsuite 	It wrings my neck and dazzles me completely.This is supposed to be interpreted as 首くくり+くるり (as in くるくる)+眩む. In any case, It's fairly certain the space between the 眩む and the 脳 is meant to indicate that the first phrase is separate from the rest of the line and isn't meant to be acting on 脳.
きみの声は聴こえていたのに 	kimi no koe wa kikoete ita no ni 	I could hear your voice, burned into my brain, and yet,
また耳を塞いでいたんだ 	mata mimi o fusaide ita nda 	again, I chose to plug my ears.
 	 	
提唱 洗脳 群衆 制裁 	teishou sennou gunshuu seisai 	Advocacy, Brainwashing, Crowd, Sanctions.
法螺吹きのロンド 	horafuki no rondo 	A rondo of braggarts.
茜空に並ぶ鉄塔 鐘と賛美歌 	akane sora ni narabu tettou kane to sanbika 	The steel towers line up under a madder red sky. Bells and hymns resound.
道化が踊るサーカステント 	douke ga odoru saakasu tento 	The circus tent where all the clowns are dancing.
遊戯場の東 	yuugijou no higashi 	The East side of the amusement park.
演目の無い劇場 廃墟 	enmoku no nai gekijou haikyo 	An abandoned theater with no programs.
きみを創るすべて 	kimi o tsukuru subete 	All that it takes to create you again.
 	 	
それは壊れた映写機のように 	sore wa kowareta eishaki no you ni 	Like it’s being shown by a broken movie projector,
褪せた戯曲を繰り返す 	aseta gikyoku o kurikaesu 	a dull play repeats non-stop.
 	 	
ガラクタだらけの市街地でまた 	garakuta darake no shigaichi de mata 	In this city full of junk,
咲かないままの命が枯れるの 	sakanai mama no inochi ga kareru no 	life withers away yet again without ever blooming.
 	 	
きみは藍色の夜明けになって 	kimi wa aiiro no yoake ni natte 	You become the color indigo that paints the dawn,
わたしはここで ひとり置き去りのまま 	watashi wa koko de hitori okizari no mama 	while I am left all alone here.
朽ちた日の言葉を零す 	kuchita hi no kotoba o kobosu 	I air my grievances over that rotten day.This phrase "言葉を零す" implies that the singer is saying how they really feel and speaking their complaints for the first time.
「誰かの心臓になれたなら」 	"dareka no shinzou ni nareta nara" 	“If I could’ve become someone’s heart.”A reference to one of the composer's other songs.
 	 	
どうか 	douka 	Please,
生きる意味をおしえて ベロニカ 	ikiru imi o oshiete beronika 	give me a reason to live, Veronica.
 	 	
ねえ 	nee 	Hey,
生きていいと言ってよ ベロニカ 	ikite ii to itte yo beronika 	tell me to continue living, Veronica.
 	 	
『だから"こんな世界"なんて嘆くきみの瞳に 	“dakara "konna sekai" nante nageku kimi no me ni	“It’s because you lament ‘this world’
雨上がりの七色を見せてあげる』 	ameagari no nanairo o misete ageru” 	that I’ll reveal to your eyes the seven colors after the rain lifts.”
藍に融けた きみの手を取って 	ai ni toketa kimi no te o totte 	We had both completely melted into a deep blue. I'll now take your handThis sentence would be more understandable if it was "I took your hand that had melted in the indigo" despite the sentence in Japanese having spaces. And it seems that in the music video, it was raining, so it could be a reference to the producer's later work, which has a sentence that's like "Drowning in the rain and melted into a deep blue" so it'd be more logical if this sentence is "We had both completely melted into a deep blue/into the indigo. I'll now take your hand ..."
星空へ落ちていくから 	hoshizora e ochite iku kara 	and fall right into the starry sky, so–
 	 	
殺して ベロニカ 	koroshite beronika 	Please kill me, Veronica!
