Ikasama Dance

One two three four
いちにさんよん
ichi ni san yon
One two three four
いちにさんよん
ichi ni san yon

Is it something forgotten?
わすれたものなのか
wasureta monona no ka
Not important enough to remember?
おもいだすほどでもないものか
omoidasu hodode mo nai mono ka
Before I knew it, I was still
きづけばぼくはまだ
kidzukeba boku wa mada
Filled with empty dreams
からっぽのゆめばかり
karappo no yume bakari

Left and right
みぎひだり
migi hidari
The same to the right
みぎにおなじ
migi ni onaji

Breathing in the sky
いきごめそらたんく
ikigome sora tanku
A distorted, fake, grand world
ぎたいのんすけるでだいせかい
gitai nonsukeru de daisekai
It doesn't matter, but
どうでもいいけどさ
dou demo ii kedo sa
My heart overflowed in a hole
あなぼこでこころがあふれました
anaboko de kokoro ga afuremashita

With a spring wound up, the Earth spins once
ぜんまいしかけでちきゅうはいっかいてん
zenmai shikake de chikyuu wa ikkaiten
A memory of distorted, fake, and repeated thoughts
のうてんあんてなおもいこみのめもり
nouten antena omoikomi no memori
I agreed, so this time I'll oppose
さんせいしたからこんどはもうはんたい
sansei shitakara kondo wa mou hantai
My eyes spin round and round
ぐるぐるとめがまわる
guruguru to megamawaru
Upside down, inside out, please
あべこべさばってんまる ちょうだい
abekobe sa batten maru choudai

From the front, it looks left and right
しょうめんからみりゃみぎひだり
shoumen kara mirya migihidari
But in my case, it's right then left
でもぼくのほうではひだりみぎ
demo boku no hou de wa hidarimigi
Go there, come here
あっちへいけどこっちへくれど
atchi e ikedo kotchi e kuredo
The enemy of justice is still the enemy
せいぎのてきはせいぎなのさ
seigi no teki wa seigina no sa

In that case, let's dance the cheating dance
それならおどれよいかさまだんす
sorenara odoreyo ikasamadansu
Come on, let's pretend to be happy
ほららったったあはっぴいなふりしようぜ
hora ra ttattaa happiina furi shiyou ze
You understand, right?
わかってんだろう
wakatten ndarou?
Life is a cheating dance
じんせいはいかさまのだんす
jinsei wa ikasama no dansu

Head spinning
あたまぱーにして
atama paa ni shite
Riding on a distorted, fake merry-go-round
すくえあなりずむにのっている
sukueana rizumu ni notte iru
Complicated matters
むずかしいことは
muzukashii koto wa
Deal with them after a good night's sleep
おやすみののちにしてねえ
oyasumi no nochi ni shite nee

I realized
きづいちゃった
kidzui chatta
I wanted this night to become vague
このよはあいまいになりたかった
konoyo wa aimai ni naritakatta
No one could become a liar
だれもがうそつきにはなれなかった
daremoga usotsuki ni hanarenakatta
And then everything became irreparable
それからどうもとりかえしがつかなくなりました
sore kara doumo torikaeshi ga tsukanaku narimashita

A firm half-and-half, fights are on sale
かっちりはんぶんこでけんかはりょうせいばい
katchiri hanbun ko de kenka wa ryouseibai
Even if lies are exposed or broken, there's no refund
うそはいてもはかれてもはりせんぼん
uso haite mo haka rete mo harisenbon
If expectations are off, then it's a problem
きたいはずれはいうならむもんだい
kitai hazure wa iunara mu mondai
My eyes spin round and round
ぐるぐるとめがまわる
guruguru to megamawaru
Upside down, inside out, please
あべこべさばってんまるちょうだい
abekobe sa batten maru choudai

There's a front and back to here and there
あっちとこっちはうらおもて
atchi to kotchi wa uraomote
So where is the front and where is the back?
ならどこからおもてでどこがうら
nara doko kara omote de doko ga ura
Split in half, then split in half again
はんぶんにすりゃはんぶんずつに
hanbun ni surya hanbun zutsu ni
Each side grows a back
それぞれふえたうらおもて
sorezore fueta uraomote

That's the cheating dance, right?
そういうことだろいかさまだんす
sou iu kotodaro ikasamadansu
Come on, let's pretend to be honest
ほららったったあせいかいはふせいかいさ
hora ra ttattaa seikai wa fu seikai sa
You'll laugh, won't you?
わらっちゃうだろう
waratchau darou?
Life is a cheating dance
じんせいはいかさまのだんす
jinsei wa ikasama no dansu

Ridiculous, on a distorted, fake step
でたらめなすてっぷりずむにのって
detaramena suteppu rizumu ni notte
Come on, let's raise the stakes
らったったたたたあてをたかけ
ra ttatta tatataa te o takake
Review your true intentions
きみのほんしょうすがおさらして
kimi no honshou sugao sarashite
Come on, come on
らったったたた
ra ttatta tatata
Teach me, please
おしえてちょうだいねえ
oshiete choudai nee
Let me hear it, please
きかせてちょうだい
kikasete chuodai

Before we forget even ourselves
こんなぼくらがぼくらすら
konna bokura ga bokura sura
In this round world
わすれてしまうまえに
wasureteshimau mae ni
Dance with you
まるいせかいであなたとだんす
marui sekai de anata to dansu
Even without a single word
ことばひとつつうじなくても
kotoba hitotsu tsuujinakute mo

If we let our voices echo in the dark
くらいふろあでおとをならせば
kurai furoa de oto o naraseba
We won't change at all
ぼくらはなにもかわらない
bokura wa nanimokawaranai
That's the cheating dance, right?
そういうことだろいかさまだんす
sou iu kotodaro ikasamadansu
Come on, let's pretend to be honest
ほららったったあせいかいはふせいかいさ

demo boku no hou de wa hiarimigi
Go there
あっちへいけど
atchi e ikedo
Come here

The enemy of justice is still the enemy
