Lyrics

TV-size.

• Kanji & Kana
• Romaji
• English

蝶は未だ鳥になれず

千切れそうな翅を揺らす

舌を出し時を待った

駆け引きの世界へ

ようこそ

雲が流れて戦意を纏った

散りばめた記号はアナグラム

猜疑心と親愛のあいだ

その支配者は誰？

宣戦布告 戦線動く

神算鬼謀なストラテジィ

泰然と怯懦のたわぶれ

破綻への序曲(オーヴァーチュア)

白い人形劇

虚無感のループ 万能才能は窮屈

「都合のいい弾丸(たま)になると思ったのかい？」

冴え渡る機略 いつだって孤独

勝利か敗北か 実力主義

極論無能な 人間が足掻いたなら

運命は変わる

数字常識 覆して

光の先へいこう

Zugzwang Du-Ra-ta-ta

踊れマイナーピース

Zugzwang Ra-ta-ta-ta

この掌で

Zugzwang Du-Ra-ta-ta

白黒ビジョン 這い上がって前へ

Chou wa mada tori ni narezu

Chigiresou na hane wo yurasu

Shita wo dashi toki wo matta

Kakehiki no sekai e

Youkoso

Kumo ga nagarete seni wo matotta

Chiribameta kigou wa anaguramu

Saigishin to shinai no aida

Sono shihaisha wa dare?

Sensen fukoku sensen ugoku

Shinsan kibou na sutoratejii

Taizen to kyouda no tawabure

Hatan e no oovaachua

Shiroi ningyou geki

Kyomukan no ruupu bannou sainou wa kyuukutsu

“Tsugou no ii tama ni naru to omotta no kai?”

Saewataru kiryaku itsu datte kodoku

Shouri ka haiboku ka jitsuryoku shugi

Kyokuron munou na ningen ga agaita nara

Unmei wa kawaru

Suuji joushiki kutsugaeshite

Hikari no saki e ikou

Zugzwang Du-Ra-ta-ta

Odore mainaa piisu

Zugzwang Ra-ta-ta-ta

Kono tenohira de

Zugzwang Du-Ra-ta-ta

Shirokuro bijon haiagatte mae e

A butterfly can’t become a bird yet

I wave my wings as if they are about to be torn to pieces

I stuck out my tongue and waited for the right time

Welcome to the world of bargaining

Clouds flowed and formed a warlike atmosphere

The scattered symbols are anagrams

Between suspicion and love

Who is the ruler?

Declaration of war, the battle lines move

A brilliant strategy

A calm air of cowardice

Prelude to bankruptcy (overture)

A white puppet show

Loop of emptiness, universal talent is cramped

“Did you think it would be a convenient bullet?”

Clever tactics, always lonely

Victory or defeat? Meritocracy

If an extremely incompetent person gets hurt

Fate changes

Overturning common sense about numbers

Let’s go beyond the light

Zugzwang Du-Ra-ta-ta

Dance minor piece

Zugzwang Ra-ta-ta-ta

In this palm

Zugzwang Du-Ra-ta-ta

Black and white vision, climb up and move forward

Full ver.

白黒ビジョン 這い上がって前へ

浮いた仮面の隙間に

野望を乗せて キミに今嘘をハいた

洗練された清廉なんか

竜騰虎闘の生き餌さ

終末のトキは近く

残骸をかぞえ

「ねえ、これでいいのかい？」

迷いの振り子 賞賛反論の推敲

いつのまにか ヒトらしい人生だ

過去と未来 手段を選んで過ぎる日々を

僕らは 旅人として生きた

地球って部屋 踊るゲームの先

ハッピーエンドは犠牲を伴う

欲しい夢なら 全て奪え

集は個に勝り 個は集になった

運命を変えろ

数字常識 覆して

光の先へいこう

In this palm

Zugzwang Du-Ra-ta-ta

Black and white vision, climb up and move forward

In the gap between floating masks

Loaded with ambition, I just lied to you

Refined sense of integrity

Live bait for Dragon Teng and Tiger Fight

The end is near

Count the wreckage

“Hey, is this okay?”

Pendulum of hesitation, elaboration of praise and counterargument

Before you know it, you were living a human-like life

Past and future, the days pass by whatever means you choose

We lived as travelers

The earth is a room, beyond the dancing game

Happy endings come at a cost

If it’s a dream you want, take it all away

The collection has surpassed the individual, and the individual has become the collection

Change your destiny

Overturning common sense about numbers

Let’s go beyond the light

Zugzwang Du-Ra-ta-ta

Dance minor piece

Zugzwang Ra-ta-ta-ta

In this palm

Zugzwang Du-Ra-ta-ta

Black and white vision, climb up and move forward
