(Devil, devil, it's me

Devil, devil, in my mind

Devil, devil, it's me

Brilliant and bad)

どうしてたしなめるの？

どうして「いい子」がいいの？

誰かの決めたことに

従う必要はあるの？(How come?)

身体の奥にある強い感情が

はじけて　飛び出て　止められないの

でも　それもわたしよ　そうでしょう？

常識？　窮屈なだけだわ

わたしの決めた道　こじ開けちゃうんだ

焦がれ憧れ　夢に見た光

いつか手に入れてやる

着飾って　好きなものだけ(so make me up)

鮮やかな色彩で

はみだして　心のままに(so make me up)

見たことないシルエット

抗って　ありふれた型捨てて

オンリーワンを描いて

つまらないものは　全部全部　わたしからグッバイ

どれだけ近づいても

指先すり抜けてく

わたしの物語は

ここで終わるはずなんてない(当然)

急ハンドル乗りこなし　運命も変えて

そこのけ　おしのけ　強気でいくわ

掴み取るためなら　強引に

(Devil, devil, it's me

Devil, devil, in my mind

Devil, devil, it's me

Brilliant and bad)

残酷？　そう言うのならば　ご勝手に

装って　煌めく理想纏って(so make me up)

不敵に笑って　美しいでしょう？(so make me up)

わたしこそタレンテッド

貫いて　偽りの殻破って

本能むき出して

くだらないものは　全部全部　視界からグッバイ

心のどこかでずっと　この時を待っていた

身体の奥の熱を解き放って

自分らしく　とびきりの道ならぬ道を

白黒　わたしがつける

破天荒上等

もっと派手に華やかに

誰も彼も気にしない(like a devil)

手段もちろん選ばない

欲しいものは奪えばいい(like a devil)

これがわたしの人生

着飾って　心のままに纏って

不敵に笑って

つまらないものは　全部全部　世界からグッバイ

Haruki · Moeka

(Devil, devil, it's me

Devil, devil, in my mind

Devil, devil, it's me

Brilliant and bad)

Why are you criticizing me?

Why is a "good girl" more preferable?

Is there any need

To follow what others say? (How come?)

The strong emotions deep inside me are

Bursting, rushing out, unstoppable

Still, that's also a part of me, don't you think?

Common sense? It's just too confining

The path I've set my heart on - I'll force it open

Aching and yearning for the light of my dreams

One day, I'll have it in my grasp

Dress up, only with my favorite things (so make me up)

In vivid colors

Stand out, to my heart's content (so make me up)

A never-before-seen silhouette

Resist, throw away the usual patterns

Shape something one-of-a-kind

The boring things can all say goodbye to me

No matter how close I get

It slips through my fingers

There is no way

My story would just end here (Obviously)

Perform a sudden turn and alter my fate

Ignore, push aside, I'll stand firm

If I want it in my grasp, I'll use force

(Devil, devil, it's me

Devil, devil, in my mind

Devil, devil, it's me

Brilliant and bad)

Cruel? If that's what you call it, then be my guest

Adorn, put on some sparkling ideals (so make me up)

Smile fearlessly - beautiful, isn't it? (so make me up)

I am truly talented

Persist, tear down the shell of lies

Lay my instincts bare

The stupid things can all say goodbye and get out of my sight

Deep down, I've been waiting for this moment

I'll unleash the mania deep inside me

It's my own way - an extraordinarily immoral path

I will be the one to decide what is good or evil

Become unprecedented

More striking, more spectacular

I don't care about anyone else (like a devil)

I'll do, of course, whatever it takes

I can just take anything I want (like a devil)

This is the life I've chosen

Dress up, wear whatever my heart pleases

Smile fearlessly

The boring things can all say goodbye to this world

## Trivia

* Tomggg wrote Brilliant and bad as a "self homage" in order to connect the world of harmoe to the theme of villains.
	+ The song starting with a cymbal roll and the lyrics "こじ開けちゃうんだ" (*koji akechaunda*) are possible references to Kimagure Tick Tock.
	+ The scene in the music video where harmoe mime sitting in a car is a possible reference to the visuals of It's a small world.
