ねぇ、あなたの言うことは思慮深すぎて惚れ惚れとするわ
Hey, what you say is so profound, I can't help but be enchanted.
教えてよその言葉その哲学の帰る場所について
Tell me about those words, about the philosophy and where it leads.
脆弱だ脆弱だ脆弱だそうやってなんだって情操と節操がないな
So fragile, so fragile, so fragile—without emotions and principles, how can that be?
いつだって言ってるじゃない 素敵な言葉 また唱えて見せて!
You always say it, don’t you? A wonderful phrase, show me again!
そうやってまた吐き散らしてさ 堂々巡りもやめにしよう
And once again, you spew it out—let's stop this endless cycle.
言葉を杭に打ち付けて見せびらかすのは悪い趣味だ
Showing off words nailed down like bad taste, that’s no good.
傲慢だ傲慢だ傲慢だそうやってなんだって証明と論法がないな
So arrogant, so arrogant, so arrogant—without proof or logic, how can that be?
ああ、つまり君はもう少し必要なことを知るべきなのさ
Ah, so you should know a bit more of what’s truly necessary.
大変だ大変だ険悪だ
What a mess, what a mess, such hostility.
甲乙言葉の銃を撃つ
Shooting words like bullets, strike and argue away!
両方が両方を見下すもんだから
Both look down on each other, you see,
二人はいよいよ宙に浮く
So the two of them are finally drifting in the air.
言葉の弾丸が落ちていく
Words like bullets are falling down,
ラララ
La la la.
ねえ、それじゃあなたには言わずにおいた事教えてあげるわ
Hey, then let me tell you the things I've kept from you.
その子供みたいな角、もう情けが無いったら仕方ないのよ
That childish angle of yours, it's just so pitiful, there's no saving it.
貧弱だ貧弱だ貧弱だそうやってなんだって情操と節操がないな
Weak, weak, weak, look at you, lacking both sentiment and integrity.
笑えてくる! どうしようもないのね アルコールにでも漬けてみたらどう?
It's laughable! There's no helping it, why not soak it in alcohol?
ああ、都合が悪くなるなら直ぐに話しを逸らすのだから
Ah, when things get inconvenient, you change the subject right away.
劣悪な頭の中にこびり付く苔どうにかしなよ
Do something with the moss clinging to your poor mind.
強情だ強情だ強情だそうやってなんだって証明と論法がないな
Stubborn, oh so stubborn, proving everything with no logic to be found.
くだらないな、自分のことだけ処理しきれたならそれでいいんだろう?
How trivial, isn't it enough if you just manage your own affairs?
打算だ打算だ険悪だ
It's all calculation, calculation, and a hostile atmosphere.
甲乙齟齬するアドバルーン
Inflated egos clash and diverge.
要因の相乗で重みに耐えきれず
Under the weight of factors, we just can't bear it anymore.
二人はいよいよ落ちていく
The two of us are finally falling apart.
言葉の弾丸が宙に浮く
Words like bullets are floating in the air.
ラララ
La la la
ああ、カリブー
Ah, caribou.
どこへ行く? どこにある?
Where are we going? Where can it be?
そこから何が見える?
What do you see from there?
見えるのはお互いの
What I see is just our
醜いまでの銃口だけ
Ugly gun barrels aimed at each other.
ああ、カリブー
Ah, caribou.
お化けは言う 「メメント・モリ」
The ghost says, 'Memento Mori.'
楔外して歩きだせ
Remove the stakes and walk on.
そんな口論 馬鹿みたい
Such arguments are foolish.
不思議な銃痕が残っていく
Strange bullet marks are left behind.
ねぇ、あなたの言うことは思慮深すぎて惚れ惚れとするわ
Hey, what you say is so thoughtful, it's captivating.
そうやってまた同じことをばかり 堂々巡りもうんざりだね
Going round in circles, repeating the same old thing, I'm fed up with it.
