Translation =
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
幻想話の暴走 	gensou hanashi no bosou 	A fantastical story ran wild
飛び込んだ事故の彼方から 	tobikonda jiko no kanata kara 	After the incident I jumped into,
単身で僕は気が付いた 	tanshin de boku wa ki ga tsuita 	Left alone, I had a realization
 	 	
反面、彼女は失踪 	hanmen, kanojo wa shissou 	She, however, had disappeared
繰り返した伴侶の会話の温度は 	kurikaeshita hanryo no kaiwa no ondo wa 	Her warm words, repeated over and over,
簡単に脳裏で憎悪になって 	kantan ni nouri de zouo ni natte 	Easily turned to hatred in my brain
 	 	
その瞬間意識の高揚 	sono shunkan ishiki no kouyou 	That moment, my consciousness was heightened
気の遠くなる程の量の 	ki no tooku naru hodo no ryou no 	Calculations filled my head to bursting,
計算で頭が詰まって 	keisan de atama ga tsumatta 	Enough to drive me mad”気が遠くなる” (ki ga tooku naru), literally meaning “(someone’s) senses become far away (from them),” can either mean to go insane or to fall unconscious. Given the snake’s effect on Kenjirou’s mental state and the fact that he becomes unconscious when the snake takes over his body, the intended meaning in this case could be either, or both.
 	 	
これが「人体組織の変貌」 	kore ga “jintai soshiki no henbou” 	This is a “transformation of the structure of the human body”
冴えきった目の配色がなんだか 	saekitta me no haishoku ga nandaka 	Doesn’t the color of those perfectly clear eyes”目が冴える” (me ga saeru) is a figurative expression meaning to be wide awake or alert, but literally translates to “(someone’s) eyes are clear.” (The verb, meaning “to be clear,” here appears in the form 冴えきった, where -きった means the action is completely finished, to the point where it couldn’t possibly continue – i.e., his eyes could not be more clear/he could not be more awake or alert.) I’ve gone with the literal translation in this case to preserve the obvious connection to the Snake of Clearing Eyes (目が冴える蛇/me ga saeru hebi).
怪物じみてないですか 	kaibutsu jimitenai desu ka 	Somehow look like a monster’s?
 	 	
脳汁治まらない　細胞が知ろうとする 	noujiru osamaranai saibou ga shirou to suru	My brain chemicals won’t settle down; my cells try to understand
真夏日を描いた　赤、白、青の幻想 	manatsubi o kaita aka, shiro, ao no gensou 	The midsummer days are drawn out in red, white, and blue fantasies
 	 	
解剖で血に塗れた手を取ってよ 	kaibou de chi ni nureta te o totte yo 	Take this hand soaked in blood from a dissection
 	 	
きっと君はまだあの夏の温度に 	kitto kimi wa mada ano natsu no ondo ni 	Surely the heat of that summer
縛られてるんだ 	shibararete’ru n’da 	Still holds you bound
 	 	
「僕はまだ正常さ」 	“boku wa mada seijou sa” 	“But I’m definitely still normal”
大丈夫、君以外を××してでも 	daijoubu, kimi igai o XX shite demo 	It’s okay, even if I have to XX everyone other than you
すぐ助けるから 	sugu tasukeru kara 	I’ll come to save you soon
 	 	
数年余りの研究 	suunen amari no kenkyuu 	It was more than a few years of research
その精度は人類進歩の 	sono seido wa jinrui shinpo no 	With such precision that it led to results
数世紀分もの成果になった 	suuseiki-bun mo no seika ni natta 	Worth centuries of human progress
 	 	
幻想理論の究明 	gensou riron no kyuumei 	An investigation of the theory of fantasy
あの数奇で妙味で 	ano suuki de myoumi de 	That unfortunate, beautiful
どうしようもないような 	doushiyou mo nai you na 	Empty space that nothing can be done with
空間はどうにも厄介そうで 	kuukan wa dou ni mo yakkai sou de 	Is troublesome, no matter how you look at it
 	 	
あれは空想世界の存在? 	are wa kuusou sekai no sonzai? 	Is that the existence of the fantasy world?
物語の「中身」の様で 	monogatari no “nakami” no you de 	At first it seemed like the “contents” of a story
非現実じみていたんだ 	higenjitsu jimite ita n’da 	But it really looked like unreality
 	 	
ただ単純科学は聡明 	tada tanjun kagaku wa soumei 	Simply put, only science is wisdom
あの時と同じ様に描いてやろう 	ano toki to onaji you ni kaite yarou 	I’ll draw it out just like I did back then
「君と、僕のように」 	“kimi to, boku no you ni” 	“Like you, and me”The meaning of this line is a little unclear – “ように” can either mean “similar to” or “for the sake/purpose of.” Since that expression, written slightly differently, is used in the previous line in the former sense (unambiguously), I’m inclined to think he’s comparing something – possibly his test subjects – to himself and his wife, but it’s also possible that he’s saying “I’m doing these terrible experiments for you and me (so we can be together again).”
 	 	
絶対に許さない　明るい未来なら 	zettai ni yurusanai akarui mirai nara 	I’ll never allow this “bright future” to come
あの日から、もう全部奪われてしまった 	ano hi kara, mou zenbu ubawarete shimatta 	For since that day, everything has been taken from me
 	 	
存在を確かめる様に今日もまた 	sonzai o tashikameru you ni kyou mo mata 	To confirm its existence, today, again,
 	 	
実験を始めよう　カウントダウンで 	jikken o hajimeyou kauntodaun de 	I’ll start the experiment with a countdown
あのドアを　さぁ、もう一回開こうか 	ano doa o saa, mou ikkai hirakou ka 	Shall I open that door once more?
 	 	
「ねぇ。次は君の番だよ。 	“nee. tsugi wa kimi no ban da yo. 	“Hey, it’s your turn next.
うまく逃げられるかな?」 	umaku nigerareru ka na?” 	I wonder if you’ll successfully run away?”
