LUCIFER - Dystopia (english translation)

I'm not sure how accurate this is - I feel like at least some of the pronouns are off - but I gave it my best shot. It's sad that LUCIFER didn't last longer. I thought they were really promising. The singer's voice is super cute. 

There's just something so refreshingly jarring about a guy in a band called LUCIFER having such an innocent-sounding voice.



ディストピア / Dystopia

Music and Lyrics: Mika

Do you understand?
Your thoughts are being restricted
I was brought to life again
Reality is awkward, and I hate it

It keeps ringing out so much that it’s getting annoying
The voice of my heart is
Becoming a brilliant lie
The days are cycling by

I want to disappear under this sky
If I’m just going to be in this rotten form,
I’ve had enough of this body already
I searched for an unoccupied heart
And was stabbed through with a pure lie*
In this fleeting world**

I’m bearing my anguish***
But the thoughts still won’t stop
Nevertheless, it was snatched away
I want to live
Wavering like this is agony

If I give up completely,
With a kind and graceful heart,****
And calmly tell a lie,
I will sleep

I wonder what’s waiting at the ends of the earth?
It’s fine if I don’t get to see the answer
We can “drift away” from sadness now

I want to disappear under this sky
If I’m just going to be in this rotten form,
I’ve had enough of this body already
I searched for an unoccupied heart
And was stabbed through with a pure fang*****
In this fleeting world

Notes: 

**, ***, **** Not sure about these lines in particular

*, ***** With these two, I'm not sure who is stabbing/being stabbed, tbh. Either way feels like I'm reading it wrong, so I'm not sure which to go with

ディストピア / Dystopia

Kimi ni wa wakaru?
Kisei sareru shikou
Watashi wa mata ikasareta
Genjitsu wa bukiyou de kirai da

Urusai hodo ni
Nari-yamanai
Kokoro no koe ga
Azayaka na uso ni nari
Hibi wa meguru

Kiesatta itai kono sora no shita
Kusatta katachi dake naraba
Kono karada wa mou dame da
Yadotte nai kokoro o sagashita
Tsukitateru wa muku na uso
Utsusemi no naka de

Urei o obiru
Izen yamanu shikou
Shikashi nagara ubawareta
Ikitai
Sou yuragu koto ga kutsuu da

Akirame kireba
Shakuyaku taru kokoro no mama de
Odayaka ni uso o tsuki
Boku wa nemuru

Saihate ni nani ga matsu no ka
Kotae wa minakute ii
Kanashimi kara bokura wa ima
“hanarerareru”

Kiesatte itai kono sora no shita
Kusatta katachi dake naraba
Kono karada wa mou dame da
Yadotte nai kokoro o sagashita
Tsukitateru wa muku na kiba
Utsusemi no naka de
