12階の一番奥 – 12kai no Ichiban Oku/12th Floor, the Room Farthest Down

If I were to tell a lie, a lie, rest assured
it would be as white as Rodin’s torso
You only believe in having fun on Sunday
The next day you’re dull, so I know it must be Monday
You play in Fake Land, so I don’t believe you

I want to learn to believe and be happy, to be an adult
One thing I know is, it’s important to cry when watching movies
You give off the sickly-sweet smell of an oil painting
Like a famous child painter, a beautiful portrait
But you only paint lies, so I don’t believe you

Fingers, lips, they’re useless for seeing through lies, they believe in jealousy

It’s scary, scary to believe, allow me to be discreet
I don’t, I don’t think I can do it, that’s my stance on the matter
But I’m not very attached to it, like an indoor dog that’s given away
The other day, I had to cut my long, chestnut hair, what a relief
But if you told me it looked good, I wouldn’t believe you

If I were to tell a lie, a lie, rest assured
It would be as white as Rodin’s thorns

Fingers, lips, they’re useless for seeing through lies, they believe in jealousy
A windowless room where it’s always night
Fingers, lips, they love to believe

赤い戦車 – Akai Sensha/Red Tank

Less like a watercolor and more like an oil painting when the paint has coagulated
unwavering is my resolve, unshakeable my blood-red ambition

Red bloody the will is
I will preserve my unstoppable will

I paint layer after layer over and over again with this same color
and now the painting has become a three-dimensional model, fully realized

Generations of hardship
are not more red than my hard will

Tossing my burning desire at the canvas in blood-red paint
my painting suddenly becomes a self-actualized cube
in a color that convinces me I was born so I could live

I paint layer after layer over and over again with this same color
and now the painting has become a three-dimensional model, fully realized

Generations of hardship
are not more red than my hard will

I’ve stared so long at my red-stained wounds they’re beginning to heal
Shiny red blood is the source of my painting
a color so convincing that I know I can’t be dead

Tossing my burning desire at the canvas in blood-red paint
my painting suddenly becomes a self-actualized cube
in a color that convinces me I was born so I could live
