Japanese Lyrics

光と闇の真夜中 Weekend
ダンス・フロア Scream & Shout 赤裸々 Human Nature
交わす視線は目と目 かけひきの Border
アソビで咲かせた 恋は徒花

Ah I'm not gonna...
Ah I'm not gonna...

鳴り響く Beat 耳元で Cheers! I Tell You “ADABANA”
起きてて夢って見れるのね Do You Wanna Be My Lover?

突き上げて 煌いたグラスを無数の泡が駆け上がる
はじけては消えていく恋を眩しくライト照らし出す

誰もが Butterfly ぶった Spider (Yeah Ah)

仮面をして 自分消して 出だした Human Nature
本当の 自分で Dance 闇を裂いた Laser

Translation

Midnight weekends of light and dark
Dance floor, scream & shout, it's natural human nature
Exchanging looks, eye to eye, it's on the border of strategy
Love that bloomed by playing around is a fruitless flower

Ah I'm not gonna...
Ah I'm not gonna...

The resounding beat, the cheers in my ear! I tell you “ADABANA”
You can see your waking dreams, right? Do you wanna be my lover?

Countless bubbles rise up against the sparkling glass
Breaking up the dazzling light that lights up the vanishing love.

Everyone is a spider pretending to be a butterfly (Yeah Ah)
A sweet scent and flavor (Oh Flavor of Flower)
Spider pretending to be a butterfly (Yeah Ah)
A color to deceive the heart (Oh Color of Flower)

Flower...A fleeting love
Flower...is blooming suspiciously

Put on a mask and erase yourself, that’s when human nature comes out
Dance as your true self, the laser tears up the darkness
An ephemeral night is unreliable; Do you know “ADABANA”?
You also smile at that girl, surf the waves of people; Do you wanna be my lover?

Do you wanna be my lover?
Do you wanna be my lover?

Countless of bubbles rise up against the sparkling glass
The dazzling light illuminates the maelstrom of wild cheers

Everyone is a spider pretending to be a butterfly (Yeah Ah)
A web of sweet words (Oh Flavor of Flower)
Spider pretending to be a butterfly (Yeah Ah)
A trap even pretending to be caught in a web (Oh Color of Flower)

Flower...Right now, the fluttering [heart]
Flower...is blooming enticingly

Being drunk on music, I want to keep swaying
Don't stop DJ keep it like this all night
I want to forget all the days
An unseen and unrestrained kiss

Everyone is a spider pretending to be a butterfly (Yeah Ah)
A sweet scent and flavor (Oh Flavor of Flower)
Spider pretending to be a butterfly (Yeah Ah)
A color to deceive the heart (Oh Color of Flower)

Flower...A fleeting love
Flower...is blooming suspiciously
Flower...Right now, the fluttering [heart]
Flower...is blooming enticingly

Flower

Translator Note:

Adabana means fruitless flower, but also means fake love in context of this song

[timz]

the song is like a poetry, now I understand it. Thanks for translating it Soshified, always and forever awesome!!!

[Forever 9 ♡]

The lyrics doesnt really make sense but oh well ;

Music is a universal language :PPP .

I cant wait for the 2nd Japanese Album to be out 8D

[MoonSoshi9]

Wow the lyrics are really interesting. Thanks for the translation!

[Antz]

This song is actually pretty catchy
thanks for the translation
lyrics were so different to what i thought they were

[babyoong0111]

i love the 'do you wanna be my lover?' part
i always answered 'hell yeah!'
hahahaha
this song is catchy, but for some reason i love beep beep more
hahahaha
i agreed, the lyrics doesn't make sense
but yeah, it's pretty good song

[YoonHyun4ever]

I'm still wondering what "ADABANA" is. I always thought it was a Japanese word (?)
Doesn't really make sense to me too but nice song

Thanks for the lyrics~

[arghninja]

There is a translation note at the end explaining adabana.

As for the setting, imagine a girl and a guy on the dance floor in a busy club.

[bhost909]

Even without translations, it wasn't too hard to tell that this song has some pretty interesting lyrics. Even with the translations, I'm not going to pretend I'm smart enough to understand them, but the symbolism and wordplay definitely makes them worth reading through a few times. For example, it seems strange to me to put on a mask to be your true self, but perhaps you'll only dance like you really would if no one knew it was you. Or if the butterfly refers to life outside the club, maybe it's putting on the mask to erase the butterfly that everyone is pretending to be to let you once again be the spider. In a sense, putting on one mask takes off another. The use of 'adabana' is also very cool, sort of serving as a word that represents the song. Flowers only bloom for a little while, the club scene only lasts as long as the music's on, the mask is temporary... love made in that setting would be fake then. ... A probably incorrect interpretation, since, like everything else symbolic, this goes way over my head haha.

Thank you for the translation.

[Azkyz]

Thank you for the translation.

Neat lyrics, also interesting interpretation. I thought you were reading too far into it, and you might be, but then I thought you might have something there. I'm too tired to think much of this right now as it's 7am and I haven't slept yet, so maybe I'll give it some thought tomorrow if I remember. Thanks again for the translation subbers!

Read the whole thing before commenting. ADABANA is explained at the end..

[⚝ Kendelle ⚝]

It's nice to see the lyrics written so nicely here My understanding of Japanese is fairly basic, and they talk so fast at times that I can't really understand it anyway xD

I like the lines about people pretending to be butterflies while actually being spiders.....it sums up all my club experiences in one catchphrase xD

As a Jpop girl at heart, I am really looking forward to the new album coming out! I hope they get some of the song producers for their Japanese discography on board for the English album if that ever comes out lol The song wasn't super catchy at first but now I'm playing the songs nonstop

[luvryeo]

It's not so catchy the first time I heard it, but after listening to it a few times it gets stuck in my head. I love it!

[fayofany]

huwaaaaaaaaaa the lirics!! this song is greaaaat! fany eonni really beautiful i repeat for many times haha

intresting! i wish they come to my country

[^CaMeRoN^]
