進化と堕落の二元論

知らない事が罪だという
なれば知るという事は罰だ
いつの世も回る俗世は二元論
僕らはねじ伏せられる
したたかねじ伏せられたい

If ignorance is a sin
That would make knowledge a punishment
Through the ages, this dualism that revolves around our lives
We yield to it
Determinedly, we long to yield to it

いらない物が多過ぎて
必要な物に囚われるヒマもない
取捨選択する日常の二元論
僕らを惑わせてくれ

There are too many unnecessary things
that we have no time to deal with the necessary
This dualism in our lives that compels us to make a choice
Baffle us, please

その願望たるや自他共に歩み寄らず
嗚呼、極寒の文豪よ
何故に老婆を殺した

As for your desires, do not concede to yourself or others
Ahh, literary master of the cold winter
Why did you kill the old woman?¹

切なる願いは祈りに変わり
合わす手の平も濡れるまにまに
戯る動悸は不規則なりて
ペーソス　帝国　進化せよ　禁断のエリア

Earnest hopes turn into prayers
As our clasped palms turn wet
this playful heartbeat turns irregular
Pathos. Empire. Evolve, forbidden area

生きる事が全てだという
なれば死に至る道こそ無だ
墜ちてゆけ矯めつ眇めつ二元論
僕らは堕落していく
いつでも堕落させてくれ

If living is everything
The path to death would be in vain
Fall into it, this scrutinizing dualism
We are falling into depravity
At any time, let us succumb to depravity

文明開化の音はするかそのヘアースタイル
嗚呼、極東の無類派よ
正に言い得て妙だよ

Does the onset of civilisation make a sound, that hairstyle
Ahh, the unrivalled of the far east
is a fitting phrase

次なる世代は無邪気に笑い
前時代的な生にマネー　マネー
よりよく生きろよ労を厭わず
絶対君主　支配せよ　脳内文学

The next generation laughs innocently
The old-fashioned life of money, money
Live better than that, put in your best effort
Absolute monarchy. Reign over it. Literary subconscious.

次なる世代は無邪気に笑い
前時代的な生にマネー　マネー
切なる願いは祈りに変わり
合わす手の平も濡れるまにまに
戯る動悸は不規則なりて
ペーソス　帝国　進化せよ
禁断の脳内文学支配して
進化せよ　禁断のエリア

The next generation laughs innocently
The old-fashioned life of money, money
Earnest hopes turn into prayers
As our clasped palms turn wet
this playful heartbeat turns irregular
Pathos. Empire. Evolve,
Take control of this forbidden subconscious
Evolve, forbidden area
