Lyrics

Kanji Romaji Translated
愛しく想えば　その瞬間に 副作用が強くなって　壊れ堕ちてく 歪んだ記憶は　非科学的に 自分さえも殺しそうで　騙し続けた Itoshiku omoeba sono shunkan ni Fukusayou ga tsuyoku natte koware ochiteku Yuganda kioku wa hikagakuteki ni Jibun sae mo koroshisou de damashi tsuzuketa That moment that I think with affection A side effect takes strength, breaks and falls My distorted memories don't seem objective I kept fooling myself until I killed myself
滑らかな感触　真っ赤な雫が　空さえ染めてゆくから ひぐらしのなく頃　もう隠せない　震える手を　強く抱いて 振り下ろせ　笑顔のその為にSideEffect──── Namerakana kanshoku makkana shizuku ga sora sae somete yuku kara Higurashi no naku koro mou kakusenai furueru te o tsuyoku daite Furiorose egao no sono tame ni SideEffect──── That soft feeling, that cat in deep red that even dyes this sky When the higurashi cry, there will no longer be where to hide while holding tight my trembling hands And shaking them for the sake of my smile, SideEffect────
深く深い闇が満ちたら　幻覚のヴァイルスが目を覚ます 新しいこの景色さえも　罪に支配され　私を探す Fukaku fukai yami ga michitara genkaku no VAIRUSU ga me o samasu Atarashii kono keshiki sae mo tsumi ni shihai sare watashi o sagasu If the deep darkness rises, the hallucinatory virus awakens Even in this new setting I find me dominated by sins
あなたの笑顔が　永久に続けと 願うならば願うほどに　穢れ堕ちてく 矛盾はいつしか　偽善に変わり 叫ぶ声も共鳴して　唄を奏でる Anata no egao ga towa ni tsuzuke to Negau naraba negau hodo ni kegare ochiteku Mujun wa itsushika gizen ni kawari Sakebu koe mo kyoumei shite uta o kanaderu Your smile will last forever If you wish, the more you wish, the more it will be defiled Contradiction turns into hypocrisy The screaming voice resonates and plays the song
やわらかな指先　意識の隙間に　まぎれこんだ残像も ひぐらしのなく頃　もう隠せない　抗えない　因果の剣 振り下ろせ　明日のその為に　SideEffect──── Yawaraka na yubisaki ishiki no sukima ni magirekonda zanzou mo Higurashi no naku koro mou kakusenai aragaenai inga no ken Furiorose ashita no sono tame ni SideEffect──── Soft fingertips, afterimages in the cracks of consciousness When the Higurashi Cry - No more hiding, no more resisting the sword of cause and effect Swing down for tomorrow, SideEffect────
遠く遠い闇の代償　否定的な振る舞い　焦燥 快楽への通過儀礼が　破滅へ導く　私はどこに Tooku tooi yami no daishou hiteitekina furumai shousou Kairaku e no tsuukagirei ga hametsu e michibiku watashi wa doko ni The price of far, far away darkness. Negative behavior. Agitation The rite of passage to pleasure leads to ruin.
深く深い闇が満ちたら　幻覚のヴァイルスが目を覚ます 新しいこの景色さえも　罪に支配され　私を探す Fukaku fukai yami ga michitara genkaku no VAIRUSU ga me o samasu Atarashii kono keshiki sae mo tsumi ni shihai sare watashi o sagasu If the deep darkness rises, the hallucinatory virus awakens Even in this new setting I find me dominated by sins
