The title comes from the Japanese traditional song Kagome Kagome, and it’s notorioously difficult to translate. The translation used here was chosen to emphasise the theme of concealment underlying this song.


歌詞

身勝手なら未完成なら
抱きしめて一緒に来て
笑っていた日常は 戻らないの
抉ったまま触って ほら
痛みなど慣れたから
ねえまだ 始まったばかり

歪んでいく 変わっていく
愛してた”平凡”は
血まみれで戻らない 狂った世界へ
願ってまだ足りないのに
愛していたいだなんて
そんな凶器を手に 走る 走る

閉じ込めていたのは 純な恋心
触れて溶けて 今 痛みに変わった

繰り返す意味に 縋り続けてる
信じられないの もう何もかもが
狐は笑った 「犯人はだあれ?」
後ろの正面で 待ってるね

染まってしまえ変わってしまえ
君のいない世界なら
身勝手でも未完成でも 書き変えよう
冷たいな苦しいな
安っぽいこんな痛み
愛しくて悲しい 今 また舞台へ

解き放つ感情が ゆるされるのなら
触れて溶けて さあ 侵し尽くそう

繰り返す声で 君を探してる
今すぐいくから もう離さないよ
狐は笑った 「犯人はだあれ?」
後ろの正面は

繰り返す意味が なくなる時まで
君だけを見てる 愛しているんだ
狐は笑った「犯人はだあれ?」
後ろの正面で 待ってるね
二人の幸せな 結末へ

migatte nara mikansei nara

egutta mama sawatte hora

yugande iku kawatte iku
aishiteta “heibon” wa
chimamire de modoranai kurutta sekai e
negatte mada tarinai noni

tojikomete ita no wa jun na koigokoro
furete tokete ima itami ni kawatta

somatte shimae kawatte shimae

ushiro no shoumen de matteru ne
futari no shiawase na ketsumatsu e

Translation

If I’m selfish or incomplete,
then hug me and come with me.
I can’t return to the days when I smiled.
I’m still gouged out. Touch me, see—
I’m used to pain now
so come on, we’ve only just started.

Growing twisted and changing,
the ‘ordinary’ life I loved
is now bloodstained and I can’t get it back. I head to a mad world.
I wish, yet it isn’t enough.
“I want to love you.”
With that lethal weapon in hand, I run and run.

I sealed away my naive love.
I touch it and it dissolves. Now, it has become pain.

I kept clinging to the meaning of this repetition—
I just can’t believe in anything anymore.
The kitsune laughed: “Who’s the culprit?”
They’re waiting, hidden behind me.

Be tainted and changed completely!
If this world is missing you,
then whether I’m selfish or incomplete, I’ll rewrite it!
How cold. How painful.
My pain seems so cheap.
So beloved yet sad. Now, I head for the stage again.

If the feelings I release are allowed,
then I’ll touch them and they will melt. Now, I’ll completely invade them!

Calling repeatedly, I search for you.
I’ll go to you right away, so we won’t be parted again.
The kitsune laughed: “Who’s the culprit?”
They’re hidden behind me.

Until the meanings of this repetition run out,
I’ll look only at you. I love you.
The kitsune laughed: “Who’s the culprit?”
They’re waiting, hidden behind me.
We head to our happy conclusion.
