ここで揺れる光 視線の先の闇
整ってるふりをしてる 世界のその終わり

koko de yureru hikari shisen no saki no yami
totonotteru furi o shiteru sekai no sono owari

The light swaying here, the darkness down my line of sight
Pretending to be prepared, it’s the end of the world

揺れる記憶 砕ける記憶 凍りつく記憶 燃える記憶
答えを探して 答えを消して 答えを燃やして 静かに眠れ

yureru kioku kudakeru kioku koori tsuku kioku moeru kioku
kotae o sagashite kotae o keshite kotae o moyashite shizuka ni nemure

Swaying memories, breaking memories, freezing memories, burning memories
Search for an answer, erase the answer, burn the answer, silently sleep

それでもどこか諦められないのは 仮面の向こう側 覚えているから
それでもどこか諦められないのは 素顔の向こう側 気づいているから

sore demo doko ka akiramerarenai no wa kamen no mukougawa oboeteiru kara
sore demo doko ka akiramerarenai no wa sugao no mukougawa kidzuiteiru kara

And yet, somewhere I can’t give up, because on the other side of the mask I remember
And yet, somewhere I can’t give up, because on the other side of my true face I’m aware

心 開いて この手で壊せるのなら
二度と その笑顔が 見えなくなるまで
心 開いて 何もかも めちゃくちゃにしてまで
求めたのは 君の笑顔だけ

kokoro hiraite kono te de kowaseru no nara
nido to sono egao ga mienaku naru made
kokoro hiraite nani mo kamo mechakucha ni shite made
motometa no wa kimi no egao dake

If I can destroy with these hands and open my heart
it’ll be just until I become unable to see your smile again
Until I opened my heart and turned everything into a mess
the only thing that I sought was your smile

ここで融ける光 犠牲の先の闇
整ってるふりをしてる 世界のその終わり

koko de tokeru hikari gisei no saki no yami
totonotteru furi o shiteru sekai no sono owari

The light fading here, the darkness beyond the victims
Pretending to be prepared, it’s the end of the world

揺れる孤独 砕ける孤独 凍りつく孤独 燃える孤独
素顔を探して 素顔を消して 素顔を燃やして 静かに眠れ

yureru kodoku kudakeru kodoku koori tsuku kodoku moeru kodoku
sugao o sagashite sugao o keshite sugao o moyashite shizuka ni nemure

Swaying solitude, breaking solitude, freezing solitude, burning solitude
Search for a true face, erase the true face, burn the true face, silently sleep

それでもどこか とても救いが無いのは
仮面の向こう側 信じていたから
それでもどこか とても救いが無いのは
素顔の向こう側 気づいていたから

sore demo doko ka totemo sukui ga nai no wa
kamen no mukougawa shinjiteita kara
sore demo doko ka totemo sukui ga nai no wa
sugao no mukougawa kidzuiteita kara

And yet, somewhere it’s very hopeless
because on the other side of the mask I had believed
And yet, somewhere it’s very hopeless
because on the other side of my true face I had realized

心 砕いて この眼に 映る世界で
たとえ その笑顔が 歪んだとしても
心 砕いて 何もかも めちゃくちゃにしてまで
求めたのは 僕の自由だけ

kokoro kudaite kono me ni utsuru sekai de
tatoe sono egao ga yuganda toshitemo
kokoro kudaite nani mo kamo mechakucha ni shite made
motometa no wa boku no jiyuu dake

In this heart breaking world reflected in my eyes
even if your smile was twisted
Until you broke my heart and turned everything into a mess
the only thing that I sought was my freedom

それでもなぜか 涙 止まらないのは
仮面の向こう側 笑っていたから
それでもなぜか 涙 止まらないのは
仮面の向こう側 わかっていたから

sore demo naze ka namida tomaranai no wa
kamen no mukougawa waratteita kara
sore demo naze ka namida tomaranai no wa
kamen no mukougawa wakatteita kara

And yet, for some reason the tears won’t stop
because on the other side of the mask I had smiled
And yet, for some reason the tears won’t stop
because on the other side of the mask I had understood

心 殺して この手に残った物は
二度と 読まれない ひび割れた喜劇
心 殺して 何もかも めちゃくちゃにしてまで
求めたのは 誰の悲劇

kokoro koroshite kono te ni nokotta mono wa
nido to yomarenai hibi wareta sutoorii
kokoro koroshite nani mo kamo mechakucha ni shite made
motometa no wa dare no sutoorii

You killed my heart, and what remained left in my hands
was a shattered gag story never to be read again
Until you killed my heart and turned everything into a mess
the thing sought was whose tragic story?

スペル=時空転生回路 | Spell=Space-Time Reincarnation Cycle

途切れる風に 耳を塞ぐ夜に
舞う涙の雫 踊る鬼人と
スペルのカードが…答えさえ曖昧に見せて…
転生は修羅の如し…ah…

togireru kaze ni mimi o fusagu yoru ni
mau namida no shizuku odoru kijin to
superu no kaado ga… kotae sae aimai ni misete…
tensei wa shura no gotoshi…ah…

In the pausing wind, in the night of closed ears
drops of tears swirl, the dancing Kijin
and the spell card… even show an answer, vaguely…
Reincarnation can be likened to fighting… ah…

戻れない…帰れずに…逃げ路を探すのよ…

modorenai… kaerezu ni… nigemichi o sagasu no yo…

Unable to go back… unable to go home… searching for an escape…

廻る…回路は儚さと
君への想いだけ募るだけ…もうすぐねぇ、時が止まる…

mawaru… kairo wa hakanasa to
kimi e no omoi dake tsunoru dake… mou sugu nee, toki ga tomaru…
kimi ni nee… aeta koto o omoi nakinagara tensei o sora e negau…

Going around… the cycle just gets worse
proportional to my feelings towards you and the transience… Any moment, hey, time will stop…
While I cry thinking about how I was able to meet you, I wish to the sky for rebirth

スペルのカード 逆さまな心 停止させないでと 鬼人が唄う
凍りつくように 体が止まって 君の瞳さえ 見えなくなるようで…

superu no kaado sakasama na kokoro teishi sasenai de to kijin ga utau
koori tsuku you ni karada tomatte kimi no hitomi sae mienaku naru you de…

The spell card, the flipped heart, “don’t let it stop,” Kijin chants
As if being frozen, my body stops, it feels like I can’t even see your eyes anymore…

In the pausing wind, while eyes are closed,
dreams of dancing tears, the dancing Kijin
and the spell card… even the answer sways vaguely…
Reincarnation can be likened to fighting… ah…

戻れない…帰れない…ワタシ何処…行けばいい?…

modorenai… kaerenai… watashi doko… ikeba ii?…

Unable to go back… unable to go home… where… should I go?…

教えてよ 君の夢の終わり
聴かせてよ 君の夢の鼓動
喜びの声にも似て
星に悲鳴が響いている

oshiete yo kimi no yume no owari
kikasete yo kimi no yume no kodou
yorokobi no koe ni mo nite
hoshi ni himei ga hibiiteiru

Teach me of the end of your dreams
Let me listen to the beat of your dreams
Sounding like a joyful voice
a scream is ringing in the stars

言葉にできなくて

kotoba ni dekinakute

It just can’t be put into words

届かない 想いの行く先
開けない パンドラの箱のよう
喜びの歌にも似て
星に悲鳴が響いている

todokanai omoi no yuku saki
hirakenai pandora no hako no you
yorokobi no uta ni mo nite
hoshi ni himei ga hibiiteiru

Unreachable, the destination of my feelings
Unopenable, like Pandora’s box
Sounding like a joyful song
a scream is ringing in the stars

響く歌声 淡く 君が照らしてくれていた
響く歌声 強く 僕を照らしてくれていた
君の顔に浮かんだ 涙が本当は嘘だと
知っていたけど 刺さって痛いよ
知っていたけど 夢見ていたいよ

hibiku utagoe awaku kimi ga terashite kureteita
hibiku utagoe tsuyoku boku o terashite kureteita
kimi no kao ni ukanda namida ga hontou wa usa da to
shitteita kedo sasatte itai yo
shitteita kedo yume miteitai yo

With your echoing melody, you had lightly shined
With your echoing melody, had strongly shined upon me
That those tears on your face were really lies
I had known, but it hurts to be pierced by them
I had known, but I want keep dreaming

教えてよ 僕の夢の終わり
聴かせてよ 僕の夢の鼓動
喜びの声にも似て
風に悲鳴が響いている

oshiete yo boku no yume no owari
kikasete yo boku no yume no kodou
yorokobi no koe ni mo nite
kaze ni himei ga hibiiteiru

Teach me of the end of my dreams
Let me listen to the beat of my dreams
Sounding like a joyful voice
a scream is ringing in the wind

言葉にできなくて

kotoba ni dekinakute

It just can’t be put into words

砕けない 心の行く先
壊せない パンドラの箱のよう
喜びの歌にも似て
風に悲鳴が響いている

kudakenai kokoro no yuku saki
kowasenai pandora no hako no you
yorokobi no uta ni mo nite
kaze ni himei ga hibiiteiru

Unbreakable, the heart’s destination
Indestructable, like Pandora’s box
Sounding like a joyful song
a scream is ringing in the wind

響く歌声 寂しく 君が教えてくれていた
響く歌声 寂しく 僕を生かしてくれていた
君の顔に浮かんだ 笑顔が本当は嘘だと
知っていたけど それでもいいよ
知っていたけど 夢見ていたいよ

hibiku utagoe samishiku kimi ga oshiete kureteita
hibiku utagoe samishiku boku o ikashite kureteita
kimi no kao ni ukanda egao ga hontou wa uso da to
shitteita kedo sore demo ii yo
shitteita kedo yume miteitai yo

With your echoing melody, you had lonesomely taught me
With your echoing melody, had lonesomely made the best of me
That the smile on your face was really a lie
I had known, but that’s fine anyways
I had known, but I want to keep dreaming

葬迎 | Burial Meeting

More related to Dolls in Pseudo Paradise. Having actually read it now, I can make some commentary.

This would seem to be talking about the most cowardly, evidence being that he is the one who had “died” and been reborn, and whose lover vanished. This explains some lines such as being “a former dead man” and how he’s in love with who he meets. From this reasoning, the one he meets is likely the most beautiful.

Thinking back on the lyrics, they’re so vague that they seem like they could come from either the most beautiful’s perspective of the most cowardly’s. In other words, it’s up to you to decide what’s going on now. Did the coward find the most beautiful and capture her? Or was the coward the one caught? Did the slaughtered bodies give away the position of the most beautiful as revenge on her? Or were they serving her pointing out the most cowardly?

そして永きに渡る日々の果て
消しきれない記憶の深層の底から
どこか歪なその人形たちが
いつか連れ立って迎えに来るのだ

soshite nagaki ni wataru hibi no hate
keshi kirenai kioku no ido no soko kara
doko ka ibitsu na sono ningyoutachi ga
itsu ka tsure datte mukae ni kuru no da

And now at the end of the days that went on forever
from the bottom of the pits of unerasable memories
somewhere those twisted dolls will
someday come together for a meeting

―何処までも。

―doko made mo.

―as far as it takes.

墓標に刻んだかつての亡骸
そうして一人だけ生きながらえても
記憶となって残り続ける限り
必ず何処かで探し出される

bohyou ni kizanda katsute no nakigara
sou shite hitori dake iki nagaraetemo
kioku to natte nokori tsudzukeru kagiri
kanarazu doko ka de sagashi dasareru

A former dead man that engraved into tombstones
despite having lived long all alone like that
as long as the memories continue to remain
they’ll be on the hunt, out somewhere

―逃がさない。

―nigasanai

―with no chance of escape.

暗闇の向こうから
屠ったはずの幻想が
その身のもとへと今手を伸ばして

kurayami no mukou kara
hohutta hazu no katamari ga
sono mi no moto e to ima te o nobashite

From beyond the darkness
the cluster of phantasms that ought to have been slaughtered
now reach out their hands towards that body’s place

―嗚呼、命取り。

―aa, inochi tori.

―Ah, life taking.

さあ こっちへおいで みんなでキミを呼んでいたんだ

saa kocchi e oide minna de kimi o yondeita n da

Come now, over this way, everyone together has been calling for you

さあ 手の鳴る方へ 何も怖くなんかないからね

saa te no naru hou e nani mo kowaku nanka nai kara ne

Come now, to the sound of my hands, there’s nothing to be scared of after all

さあ こっちへおいで みんながキミを待っているんだ

saa kocchi e oide minna ga kimi o matteiru n da

Come now, over this way, everyone is waiting for you

さあ 手の鳴る方へ キミだけ仲間はずれになんてしないからね

saa te no naru hou e kimi dake nakama hazure ni nante shinai kara ne

Come now, to the sound of my hands, you’re the only one I won’t leave out after all

その手を取って愛の告白を
それか或いはこのまま誓いを交わそう
捨てた方はたとえ忘れたとしても
捨てられた方は永久に忘れはしないと

sono te o totte ai no kokuhaku o
sore ka arui wa kono mama chikai o kawasou
suteta hou wa tatoe wasureta toshitemo
suterareta hou wa towa ni wasure wa shinai to

To take your hand and a confession of love
That, or otherwise let us exchange our vows like this
If we say that you forget things that you throw away
then being thrown away is something you will never forget

―わかったろ?

―wakattaro?

―don’t you understand?

正直者の名残が
強い妄執に裏打たれて
仲良しの幻想にずっと縋っては

shoujikimono no nagori ga
tsuyoi kizuna ni ura utarete
naka yoshi no gensou ni zutto sugatte wa

The remains of the honest men are
struck from behind by their delusions of strong bonds
To always cling to the fantasy of getting along is

―嗚呼、命取り。

―aa, inochi tori.

―ah, life taking.

さあ もどっておいで
僕らが   を忘れるもんか

saa modotte oide
bokura ga omae o wasureru mon ka

Go now, turn back and go
As if we would ever forget you

さあ この手を取って このすばらしい楽園へ

saa kono te o totte kono subarashii rakuen e

Come now, take my hand, we’re off towards a wonderful paradise

さあ もどっておいで
僕らが   を手放すもんか

saa modotte oide
bokura ga omae o tebanasu mon ka

Go now, turn back and go
As if we would ever let go of you

さあ この手を取って
どうせ帰る場所はここしかないんだからね

saa kono te o totte
douse kaeru basho wa koko shika nai n dakara ne

Come now, take this hand
there’s nowhere for us to return to but here after all

ねえ、僕だけは、キミのこと。
誰よりも大事に思っていたんだよ わかってよ。
今ならきっと、言えるかな。
今度こそ、終わらない、人形戯曲を、始めよう!

nee, boku dake wa, kimi no koto.
dare yori mo daiji ni omotteita n da yo wakatte yo.
ima nara kitto, ieru kana.
kondo koso, owaranai, ningyou asobi o, hajimeyou!

Hey, I’m the only one, that had thought of you.
As more precious than anyone else, know that.
I wonder if surely now, I can say it.
This time around, it won’t end, let us begin, the toy theater!

―さぁ、捕まえた。

―saa, tsukamaeta.

―Look, I caught you.

さあ 一緒に行こう
もう一度みんなでやり直そう

Let’s do it over with everyone one more time

nani mo kowaku nanka nai darou?

Come now, over this way
there’s nothing to be scared of is there?

さあ 一緒になろう
死んだって終わりになんてならないんだからね

saa issho ni narou
shinda tte owari ni nante naranai n dakara ne

Come now, let’s be together
being dead doesn’t mean that it’s the end after all

絶対 離れないから
最後に僕らが得をするんだ

zettai hanarenai kara
saigo ni bokura ga toku o suru n da

Because I absolutely won’t leave
in the end we’ll come out ahead

絶対 逃がさないから
こうして最後には大団円へ

zettai nigasanai kara
kou shite saigo ni wa happy end e

Because I absolutely won’t let you escape
in doing this we head towards the final act, a happy end

絶対 離さないから
この楽園から逃がさないよ

zettai hanasanai kara

Because I absolutely won’t let go
I won’t let you escape from this paradise

素敵な幻想郷で暮らそうよ

Let’s live in this lovely graveyard, Gensokyo
