English Translation:

A weekend of midnight light and darkness
Dancing floor, scream and shout, it’s just raw human nature
I better dodge, with an eye to eye, it’s the border of an opportunity
The love I found when playing was a fruitless flower

Ah ah ah I’m not gonna
Ah ah ah I’m not gonna
Become the beat, feel the cheers in your ears, I’m telling you, it’s a fruitless flower
Don’t you wanna try having an open dream Do you wanna be my lover

The pushing, glittering glass wall
In the infinite bubbles are shadows and girls
The bursting, diminishing love
Shined in a dazzling light

Everyone is a spider pretending to be a butterfly
Sweet smell and flavor
Spider pretending to be a butterfly
The color that deceives the heart

Flower, a fleeting love
Flower, has bloomed suspiciously

Put on a mask, erase yourself, that’s correct human nature
Your true self can dance, a laser that cuts the night
I can’t get used to it, I can’t do it, a fruitless flower
Even she’s smiling, the people I serve, Do you wanna be my lover
Do you wanna be my lover
Do you wanna be my lover
The pushing, glittering glass wall
In the infinite bubbles are shadows and girls
The oriented, perfect vortex
Shined in a dazzling light

Everyone is a spider pretending to be a butterfly
A trap of sweet words
Spider pretending to be a butterfly
The pretense you caught is also a trap

Flower, The fluttering flower
Flower, Bloomed suspiciously

Some people want to get swung around
Don’t stop DJ, go like this all night
I want to forget everything from the days
An enemy spreading invisible wings

Everyone is a spider pretending to be a butterfly
Sweet smell and flavor
Spider pretending to be a butterfly
The color that deceives the heart

Flower, a fleeting love
Flower, has bloomed suspiciously
Flower, the fluttering flower
Flower, has loomed suspiciously
Flower
