I thought of translating the title as ‘Imitation’, but I felt like it needed to have a bit more of a negative feel to it.


歌詞

理屈っぽい言葉を吐いて
今日も笑顔のステージは
何だか眩しくて夢を見ているみたい

愛されましたと嘯いてみても
私はどうやら 変わらないみたい

限界晒し合って行こうね
お互いの芝居 騙されてみたいね
天才まがいの拘りだけ
亡くさない様に眠れ

毎夜 布団に包まって死ぬまで怯えてる
どうせ似た者同士の与太話でしょう
フェイントかました偽物の太陽
私を焼き尽くしてくれ

限界晒し合って行こうね
お互いの芝居 騙されてみたいね
天才まがいの拘りだけ
亡くさない様に眠れ

それはきっと 華やかで
惑わされ 終いにはサヨナラ
それはきっと 華やかで
惑わされ 終いにはサヨナラ

奪い合って 化かしあって
出来上がった 可哀想な
私なんて売り飛ばしたいわ

孤独だってバーゲンセール
くだらないね お手頃に
貴方のお手元へとどうぞ

限界晒し合って行こうね
お互いの芝居 騙されてみたいね
天才まがいの拘りだけ
亡くさない様に眠れ

簡単に言ってくれるわ 簡単に言ってくれるわ
どうしたって もう後戻りできないわ
天才まがいの拘りだけ
亡くさない様に眠れ

Translation

This smiling performance
where people say reasonable words
is kind of radiant. It’s like I’m dreaming.

I try boasting that I’m loved
but it looks like I won’t change.

Let’s test the limits with each other.
It seems like our performances have fooled each other.
I’m just obsessed with playing smart.
Come on, sleep to stave off death.

Night by night, they wrap themselves in blankets and shiver ‘till they die.
I guess it’s just gossip from those in the same position.
The false sun pulled a feint.
Come on, burn me to ashes.

Let’s test the limits with each other.
It seems like our performances have fooled each other.
I’m just obsessed with playing smart.
Come on, sleep to stave off death.

It would be gorgeous.
I’m tempted, and at the end I say goodbye.
It would be gorgeous.
I’m tempted, and at the end I say goodbye.

We fight and deceive each other.
It’s all done. Poor thing.
I want to sell myself off.

I’m all alone, so it’s a bargain sale.
I’m worthless. I’m at the right price.
By all means, take me.

Let’s test the limits with each other.
It seems like our performances have fooled each other.
I’m just obsessed with playing smart.
Come on, sleep to stave off death.

You’re saying it so simply, so simply for me.
No matter what I do, I can’t turn back now.
I’m just obsessed with playing smart.
Come on, sleep to stave off death.

    It’s been a while since the album released and I’m still unsure about the meaning of this song. . .
