This will likely be the last song I work on from this album. If you’re a Zytokine fan, look forward to their next album coming up this Thanksgiving next week, DEATH. It sounds really promising. I should also apologize that I couldn’t keep those sick rhymes in the original retained in this.

差し出した　手のひらに 与えられた　小さな希望
震えてた　心では　受け止めきれずに
駆け出して　迷い込む　何一つ見えはしないのに
凍えては　震えては　まだ諦めずに

sashi dashita te no hira ni ataerareta chiisa na kibou
furueteta kokoro de wa uke tome kirezu ni
kake dashite mayoi komu nani hitotsu mie wa shinai noni
kogoete wa furuete wa mada akiramezu ni

Given to the palms of my held out hands was a small hope
I was unable to take it all in with my heart that was shaking
Though I run off, and get lost, unable to see a single thing
if I’m frozen and shivering, that means I still haven’t given up

無常　変わらないものなんてない
無情　重ねた記憶 NINETY-NINE
希望　だけは胸に　抱いてたい
宿る命　感情のその先へ

mujou kawaranai mono nante nai
mujou kasaneta kioku NINETY-NINE
kibou dake wa mune ni idaitetai
yadoru inochi kanjou no sono saki e

There’s no such thing as something transient that doesn’t change
My emotionless piled up memories are NINETY-NINE
I just want to keep hope close to my heart
Beyond emotions, dwelling life

変わらないものなんてない
心　目覚める世界 NINETY-NINE
驚きに満ち満ちた NINETY-NINE
君の視線　感情のその先へ

kawaranai mono nante nai
kokoro mezameru sekai NINETY-NINE
odoroki ni michi michita NINETY-NINE
kimi no shisen kanjou no sono saki e

There’s no such thing as a thing that doesn’t change
The worlds that wake up my heart are NINETY-NINE
Filled to the brim with surprise NINETY-NINE
Beyond emotions, your line of sight

心と心 望んだように　君と君の明日が　輝きますように
涙の跡は　澄んだ今日に　君の顔から消えて　輝きますように
心と言葉　50/50 君の望む世界が　輝きますように
涙の跡を　刻んだ今日が 力に変わって　全てを照らしますように

kokoro to kokoro nozonda you ni kimi to kimi no ashita ga kagayakimasu you ni
namida no ato wa sunda kyou ni kimi no kao kara kiete kagayakimasu you ni
kokoro to kotoba fifty/fifty kimi no nozomu sekai ga kagayakimasu you ni
namida no ato o kizanda kyou ga chikara ni kawatte subete o terashimasu you ni

As if desiring a heart to heart, as if you and your tomorrow is shining
The tearstreaks disappear on this clear day from your face as if shining
Heart and words 50/50 as if the world you desire is shining
As if the today that marks the tearstreaks will change into power and shine on everything

描いてた　未来図に　踊っていた　小さな希望
書き換えた　心では　まだ捨てられずに
駆け出して　迷い込む　誰一人見えはしないのに
忘れては　覚えては　傷を残したままで

egaiteta mirai zu ni odotteita chiisa na kibou
kaki kaeta kokoro de wa mada suterarezu ni
kake dashite mayoi komu dare hitori mie wa shinai noni
wasurete wa oboete wa kize o nokoshita mama de

In the map of the future I had drawn was a small dancing hope
I was still unable to throw it away with my altered heart
Though I run off, and get lost, unable to see a single person
if I forget, if I remember, that means I’ll stay with the wounds left behind

独りきりで歌う君のその表情
仮面の裏　響いていく　歌が紡いでいく世界
独りきりで歌う君のその感情
仮面の裏　隠された本当の歌

hitori kiri de utau kimi no sono hyoujou
kamen no ura hibiite iku uta ga tsumuide iku sekai
hitori kiri de utau kimi no sono kanjou
kamen no ura kakusareta hontou no uta

That expression of yours as you sing all alone
Ringing on the other side of the mask, the world that the song weaves
Those emotions of yours as you sing all alone
that true song hidden behind the mask

無常　変われないものなんてない
無情　流れた時間 NINETY-NINE
希望　だけを胸に　泣いてたい
変える未来　感情のその先へ

mujou kawaranai mono nante nai
mujou nagareta jikan NINETY-NINE
kibou dake o mune ni naitetai
kaeru mirai kanjou no sono saki e

There’s no such thing as something transient that doesn’t change
My emotionless hours are NINETY-NINE
I just want cry in my heart over hope
Beyond emotions, the changing future

変われないものなんてない
心　震える視界 NINETY-NINE
驚きに満ち満ちた NINETY-NINE
消える光　感情のその先へ

kawaranai mono nante nai
kokoro furueru shikai NINETY-NINE
odoroki ni michi michita NINETY-NINE
kieru hikari kanjou no sono saki e

There’s no such thing that doesn’t change
The views of my shaking heart are NINETY-NINE
Filled to the brim with surprise NINETY-NINE
Beyond emotions, the fading light

無常　変わらないものなんてない
無情　重ねた記憶 NINETY-NINE
希望　だけは胸に　抱いてたい
宿る命　感情のその先へ

mujou kawaranai mono nante nai
mujou kasaneta kioku NINETY-NINE
kibou dake wa mune ni idaitetai
yadoru inochi kanjou no sono saki e

There’s no such thing as something transient that doesn’t change
My emotionless piled up memories are NINETY-NINE
I just want to keep hope close to my heart
Beyond emotions, dwelling life

変わらないものなんてない
心　目覚める世界 NINETY-NINE
驚きに満ち満ちた NINETY-NINE

叩いた　扉の　数だけ　涙を選ぶ
隠した　心の　影だけがそう　焼き付いた

tataita tobira no kazu dake namida o erabu
kakushita kokoro no kage dake ga sou yaki tsuita

For each door that I knocked on I choose tears
Only the shadows of a concealed heart, yes, scorched into me

だけどね　また何か　壊してしまう　夢だけを求めていた
痛い　痛い　痛い　のはなぜ？

dakedo ne mata nani ka kowashite shimau yume dake o motometeita
itai itai itai no wa naze?

However, hey, I accidentally destroy something again, I was only seeking a dream
a dream.. a dream.. a dream.. so why does it hurt?

I feel myself’s breaking apart
遠い春の日差しに包まれたまま
like a hide and seek 繰り返す
見えそうで 映らない　your POKER FACE

I feel myself’s breaking apart
tooi haru no hizashi ni tsutsumareta mama
like a hide and seek kuri kaesu
miesou de utsuranai your POKER FACE

I feel myself’s breaking apart
as I remain wrapped up by the sunlight of a far spring
like a hide and seek repeating
seemingly visible, yet blank, your POKER FACE

I don’t know how to touch your heart
忘れたくて　泣きたくて　でもできなくて
like a sunshine まだ 演じてる
そんな　POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE

I don’t know how to touch your heart
wasuretakute nakitakute demo dekinakute
like a sunshine mada enjiteru
sonna POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE

I don’t know how to touch your heart
I want to forget, I want to cry, but I just can’t
like a sunshine, still performing
that POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE

暴いた　言葉の　数だけ　涙に暮れる
愛した　心の　傷だけがそう　焼き付いた

abaita kotoba no kazu dake namida ni kureru
aishita kokoro no kizu dake ga sou yaki tsuita

For each uncovered word I sink in tears
Only the wounds of a heart that loved, yes, scorched into me

4seasons will hide your everything
春の音　夏の声
秋の色　冬の夢
4seasons will break your everything
春の傷　夏の痕
秋の棘　冬の影

4seasons will hide your everything
haru no oto natsu no koe
aki no iro fuyu no yume
4seasons will break your everything
haru no kizu natsu no ato
aki no toge fuyu no kage

4seasons will hide your everything
The sound of spring, the voice of summer
the colours of fall, the dreams of winter
4seasons will break your everything
The wounds of spring, the scars of summer
the thorns of fall, the shadows of winter

だけどね　また誰か　泣かせてしまう　夢だけを信じていた
痛い　痛い　痛い　のはなぜ？

dakedo ne mata dare ka nakasete shimau yume dake o shinjiteita
itai itai itai no wa naze

However, hey, I accidentally make somebody cry again, I was only believing a dream
a dream.. a dream.. a dream.. so why does it hurt?

I feel myself’s breaking apart
淡い春の日差しに焼かれ続けて
think day and night わからない
どこまでも 不確かな　your POKER FACE

I feel myself’s breaking apart
awai haru no hizashi ni yakare tsudzukete
think day and night wakaranai
doko made mo futashika na your POKER FACE

I feel myself’s breaking apart
I continue to be burnt by the sunlight of a faint spring and
think day and night, but don’t understand
No matter where, it’s unclear, your POKER FACE

I don’t know how to touch your heart
伝えたくて　知りたくて　でもできなくて
until we can see the sunrise again
keep trying　POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE
本当は　本当は　本当は……

I don’t know how to touch your heart
tsutaetakute shiritakute demo dekinakute
until we can see the sunrise again
keep trying　POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE
hontou wa hontou wa hontou wa……

I don’t know how to touch your heart
I want to reach you, I want to know, but I just can’t
until we can see the sunrise again
keep trying　POKER FACE my POKER FACE your POKER FACE
that’s the truth, that’s the truth, that’s the truth……

Persona

Feels like I worded everything unnaturally (read: badly) in this. That’s because I tried to keep the word “persona” at the end of each line. I’ll probably take another look at it tomorrow.

こんな夜は嘘のような気がして
君の表情　どれが本物
（常識を超えた世界）でもね（常識に沈む世界）
夢の中の夢のような夢見て
夢の中の夢のようだね
（常識の消えた世界）でもね（常識に踊る世界）

konna yoru wa uso no you na ki ga shite
kimi no hyoujou dore ga honmono
(joushiki o koeta sekai) demo ne (joushiki ni shizumu sekai)
yume no naka no yume no you na yume mite
yume no naka no yume no you da ne
(joushiki no kieta sekai) demo ne (joushiki ni odoru sekai)

I get the feeling that this kind of night is a lie
Which face of yours is real?
(It’s a world above common sense) however (it’s a world sinking in common sense)
I have a dream similar to a dream in a dream
similar to a dream in a dream isn’t it
(It’s a world without common sense) however (it’s a world dancing in common sense)

たった１つ　間違ってしまった
君の声に似た　夜の風のように
たった１つ　希望の意味を知る
浅はかな自分の　愚かさを刻んで

tatta hitotsu machigatte shimatta
kimi no koe ni nita yoru no kaze no you ni
tatta hitotsu kibou no imi o shiru
asahaka na jibun no orokasa o kizande

I ended up making just a single mistake
like I did with the wind that sounded like your voice
I learn of the meaning of just a single hope
engraving the foolishness of my thoughtless self

哀しさと　愛しさに　似てる　この衝動　抱きしめて
滾る血が　壊す永遠　壊せなかったPERSONA
君の手と　僕の手が　再び　触れる時があるなら
傷つかずに　いられない　だから隠したPERSONA

kanashisa to itoshisa ni niteru kono shoudou dakishimete
tagiru chi ga kowasu eien kowasenakatta PERSONA
kimi no te to boku no te ga futatabi fureru toki ga aru nara
kizutsukazu ni irarenai dakara kakushita PERSONA

Embracing this instinct resembling sadness and affection
unable to destroy the eternity that seething blood does, is this PERSONA
If there’ll ever be a time when both of our hands touch again
I won’t be able to be help getting hurt, which is why I hid behind this PERSONA

檻の中は夢のような気がして
隠す感情　どれが本物
（常識を超えた世界）でもね（常識に沈む世界）
嘘の中の嘘のような嘘から
嘘の中で錆びていく夢
（常識の消えた世界）でもね（常識に踊る世界）

ori no naka wa yume no you na ki ga shite
kakusu kanjou dore ga honmono
(joushiki o koeta sekai) demo ne (joushiki ni shizumu sekai)
uso no naka no uso no you na uso kara
uso no naka de sabite iku yume
(joushiki no kieta sekai) demo ne (joushiki ni odoru sekai)

I get the feeling that the inside of a cage is like a dream
Which hidden emotion is real?
(It’s a world above common sense) however (it’s a world sinking in common sense)
From a lie like a lie inside a lie
the dream inside the lie grows rusty
(It’s a world without common sense) however (it’s a world dancing in common sense)

たった１つ　間違ってしまえば
楽になれたかな　砕け散る感情
たった１つ　希望の意味を知る
あの日の自分の　愚かさに沈んで

tatta hitotsu machigatte shimaeba
raku ni nareta kana kudake chiru kanjou
tatta hitotsu kibou no imi o shiru
ano hi no jibun no orokasa ni shizunde

If I ended up making just a single mistake
would it have been easier? My emotions are shattered
I learn of the meaning of a single hope
sinking into the foolishness of my self from that day

哀しさも　愛しさも　何もかも　衝動と呼べたら
叫ぶ声　流す涙　赦せなかったPERSONA
君の手が　僕の手が　それぞれ　意味を持つというなら
美しい終わりはない　だから曝したPERSONA

kanashisa mo itoshisa mo nani mo kamo shoudou to yobetara
sakebu koe nagasu namida yurusenakatta PERSONA
kimi no te ga boku no te ga sorezore imi o motsu to iu nara
utsukushii owari wa nai dakara sarashita PERSONA

If you can call sadness and affection, and everything else instinct
unable to absolve a shouting voice or running tears, is this PERSONA
Your hand and my hand, if you say they each hold a meaning
there won’t be a beautiful ending, that’s the reason I exposed my PERSONA

たった１つ　間違ってしまった
君の声に似た　夜の風のように
たった１つ　希望の意味を知る
浅はかな自分の　愚かさを刻んで

tatte hitotsu machigatte shimatta
kimi no koe ni nita yoru no kaze no you ni
tatta hitotsu kibou no imi o shiru
asahaka na jibun no orokasa o kizande

I ended up making just a single mistake
like I did with the wind that sounded like your voice
I learn of the meaning of just a single hope
engraving the foolishness of my thoughtless self

哀しさと　愛しさを　弄ぶ衝動　抱きしめて
華やかに　舞い落ちる　愛せなかったPERSONA
君の手も　僕の手も　何ひとつ救えないままなら
逃げた先　戻れない　独り微笑む　PERSONA

kanashisa to itoshisa o moteasobu shoudou dakishimete
hanayaka ni mai ochiru aisenakatta PERSONA
kimi no te mo boku no te mo nani hitotsu sukuenai mama nara
nigeta saki modorenai hitori hohoemu PERSONA

Embracing the instinct toying around with sadness and affection
Unable to love, dancing down like a flower, was this PERSONA
Your hand and my hand, if they both remain unable to rescue a single thing
after running away, there’s no going back, I smile alone with my PERSONA

A story about someone who tried to hide their true self, and when they opened up, was rejected.

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?
