emitting an indescribable smell / yeah it smells ¹

if a bud will sprout, at the place then
it will transform into a lovely Dinner for you all
here and there the leftover scraps fall and turn to trash as you pig out
Take me Trash / Take me Trash / You Trash

why don’t ya show me all of those accumulated frogs of yours piled up in the well ²
with your crying eyes you appeal to me and / we look alike
except for the frogs that want to sing

Hey Gentlemen is the water over there really that sweet? ³
Gentlemen why don’t you eat diamonds(?) that reek of mold
Fuck Off!

1. This is a play on words. The line states the seed (tane) smells. Earlier, Hide said to “tane akashi” (reveal one’s secrets). Tane means something different in each case but goes to talk about planting the seed. It’s similar to saying someone is a “bad seed” in English and then change seed to the literal meaning.
2. This is referring to the proverb by Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi, “i no naka no kawazu ooumi shirazu” (“a frog in a well does not know the great sea”).
3. This is referring to the children’s song “Hotaru Koi” (Come Fireflies) in which you sing about luring the firefly away from the bitter (dirty) water to the sweet (clean) water.
4. Henoheno moheji are letters from the Japanese alphabet used to make a drawing that resembles a face, as ubiquitous as a stick figure.
Note: I’m not 100% positive that “daiya” is “diamond” and “bura” is “bra” because it’s in katakana so it could be a foreign word (English) or it could be placing emphasis on a Japanese word. Plus, diamond is “daiyamondo” and bra is “burajaa”, but Japanese do cut off words. Since I’m not that familiar with how Hide of X Japan talked or wrote lyrics, I can’t be sure.

** From the neighboring town / comes a mysterious band / and they go again to the next town
Just outside of my room / outside of the window / they go past my window slowly

*** Lots of different people / you have met, haven’t you
Lots of different towns / you have walked through, haven’t you?
After here will be many different places / you go to, right?
Please take me with you / please take me I said / please take me with you

# If it’s a flute, I can play it
I can also beat a drum
Hey / won’t’cha please show me how to play that song
Dance [dancing], I am bad at it
But I try very hard to dance
Hey / won’t’cha please show me how to do that dance step

** repeat

*** repeat

# repeat

If and when the moon rises
Let’s go climb up the hill
Hey / won’t’cha please sing that melody
la la la……

{ * I wanna be your dog }

During the night of lead / the blood circulates
I want it, I want it
Up on top of the table / I will die for you
Without thinking about it / I’m gonna be your dog

You who continue to dance along / the palm of your hand is cold
I will warm it up for you / continuously licking^ {continuously licking}
Let Me Down
Let Me Out
Without thinking about it / I’m gonna be your dog

You who cannot die at all / just twist something around your neck
It is the glass of steam / I cannot erase it {I cannot erase it}
During the night of lead {during the night of lead} the blood circulates
Let Me Down
Let Me Out
Without thinking about it / I’m gonna be your dog

{ * repeat 4x }

^ the literal word for “lick” in Japanese also means in its most mildest terms, to be mean to someone such as to pick on them. Usually this is a fighting word and in such moments I tend to translate it with vulgar language, i.e., “don’t lick me” would be equivalent to “don’t mess with me” or “don’t fuck with me”.
