Update (9 November 2020): ‘Dead heat’ changed to ‘dot heat’ to better reflect the official lyrics.
There’s a lot of layers of complexity in this song. First of all, though, what does ‘dramaturgy’ mean? Apparently it means “The art and technique of the theatre.”
歌詞
頭でわかっては嘆いた
転がってく様子を嗤った
寂しいとか愛とかわかんない
人間の形は投げだしたんだ
抱えきれない 言葉だらけの存在証明を
この小さな劇場から出らんない
気づいたら最後逃げ出したい
僕ら全員演じていたんだ
エンドロールに向かってゆくんだ
さあ皆必死に役を演じて
傍観者なんていないのさ
“ワタシ”なんてないの
どこにだって居ないよ
ずっと僕は 何者にもなれないで
僕ら今 さあさあ 喰らいあって
延長戦 サレンダーして
メーデー 淡い愛想
垂れ流し 言の愛憎
ドラマチックな展開をどっか期待してんだろう
君も YES YES 息を呑んで
采配は そこにあんだ
ヘッドショット 騒ぐ想いも
その心 撃ち抜いて さあ
まだ見ぬ糸を引いて 黒幕のお出ましさ
その目に映るのは
触れたら壊れてしまった
間違ってく様子を黙った
僕ら全員無垢でありました
いつまにやら怪物になったんだ
その全てを肯定しないと前に進めないかい
『まあ君にはきっと無理なんだ』
「だから君にはきっと無理なんだ」
いつのまにやら外野にいたんだ
そんなガヤばっかり飛ばしてきたんだ
皆必死に自分を守って救いの手を待ってるのさ
考えたくはないよ
馬鹿になっていたいもん
ずっと僕は 何者にもなれないで
だから今 前線上に立って
その旗は高く舞って
劣勢 頼る相棒
言葉すら必要ないよ
ドラマチックな展開はドットヒートしてくだろう
君も YES YES 息を呑んで
再会を誓いあって
ワンチャンスしかない僕の
一瞬をかけるのさ
クライマックスみたいな 手に汗を握るのさ
ぽつりと鳴いた
隠してきた真実ほんとうはどこにもない
嗤ってきた奴らに居場所はない
思い出してぽいってして感情はない
流した涙 理由なんてない
優しさに温度も感じられない
差し伸べた手に疑いしかない
穴が空いて愛は垂れてしまいになったんだ
倒れそうな僕を覗き込んだんだ
諦めかけた人の前にアンタは
いつも嘲笑うようにおでましさ
君にはどんな風に見えてるんだい
呼吸を整えて さあ さあ
ずっと僕は 何者にもなれないで
僕ら今 さあさあ 喰らいあって
延長戦 サレンダーして
メーデー 淡い愛想
垂れ流し 言の愛憎
ドラマチックな展開をどっか期待してんだろう
君も YES YES 息を呑んで
采配は そこにあんだ
ヘッドショット 騒ぐ想いも
その心 撃ち抜いて さあ
まだ見ぬ糸を引いて 黒幕のお出ましさ
“その目に映るのは”

Translation
I realised it and grieved.
I sneered at my tumbling figure.
I don’t know whether this is loneliness or love.
I cast away my human shape.
The proof of my existence is nothing but words. I can’t hold them all.
I can’t escape from this box. (1)
I came to that sad realisation and wanted to escape.
We were all playing our parts,
making our way towards the credits.
Now, play your parts desperately, everyone!
There aren’t any onlookers here…
‘I’ don’t exist.
I can’t be found anywhere.
I will never amount to anything.
Hey, look! We’re all devouring each other now.
The game has been extended. We surrender.
Mayday! Civilities are fleeting.
They’re waste products—the mixed feelings of words.
Perhaps I’m waiting for dramatic developments…
YES YES, take a deep breath as well.
The baton is over there.
Headshot your noisy feelings
and shoot your heart. Now…
The puppet master makes their appearance, pulling unseen strings
and reflected in their eyes is—
When we touched things, they broke.
We remained silent about that wrong situation.
We were all blameless.
Before we knew it, we had become monsters.
If we don’t acknowledge everything, we can’t move on, can we?
“Well… there’s no way you can do it.”
“After all, there’s no way you can do it.”
Before I knew it, I was in the outfield.
I had only jeered at such extras up until now.
Everyone desperately defends themselves, awaiting a helping hand.
I don’t want to think about it.
I want to be an idiot.
I will never amount to anything.
So now, I’ll stand on the front lines.
That flag will dance high above.
When I’m at a disadvantage, I rely on my friends.
Words aren’t even necessary!
The dramatic development will be a ‘dot heat,’ I suppose. (2)
YES YES, take a deep breath as well.
We swear that we’ll meet again.
I only have one chance left
so I’ll put everything into this moment.
Looks like this is the climax—I’m on the edge of my seat.
My tears dripped down.
The truth I hid can’t be found anywhere.
The fools who sneered at me have nowhere to belong.
I have no feelings. I remembered them and threw them away.
There’s no reason behind the tears I shed.
I can’t feel warmth in kindness.
Only doubt lies in outstretched hands.
A hole was opened and now love trickles out.
You peered into me. I seemed close to collapsing.
You seemed to always be sneering
before people close to giving up.
How do I appear to you?
I calm my breathing. Now, now…
I can never amount to anything…
Hey, look! We’re all devouring each other now.
The game has been extended. We surrender.
Mayday! Civilities are fleeting.
They’re waste products—the mixed feelings of words.
Perhaps you’re waiting for dramatic developments…
YES YES, take a deep breath as well.
The baton is over there.
Headshot your noisy feelings
and shoot your heart. Now…
The puppet master makes their appearance, pulling unseen strings.
“And reflected in their eyes is—”
Translator’s notes
(1) 劇場 (gekijou, theatre) is written, but 箱 (hako, box) is sung
(2) ドットヒート (dot heat) may be a misspelling of デッドヒート (dead heat).
