～The Lair of Madame Tarantula～

Japanese song lyric transliterations/English translations & ヴィジュアル系 [Vijuaru-Kei] (Visual Kei) magazine scans.

All transliterations and translations have been done personally by me.

Each song lyric has its own page (instead of the usual "post" format) containing the transliterations and my English translations on the page in a format that makes it easier for me to post and also allows anyone to copy and paste them for their own use. To find a song, simply click the artist's photo in one of the side columns or the artist's name listed in the rows at the top of this site, which will take you to a complete discography listing (if I've had the time to create it, some are not finished yet) and links for any song I've translated and posted on this site.

As for magazine scans, the scan directories are underneath the discography sections for each artist, in alphabetical order by magazine, then chronological order after that. All editing has been done by me (alignment, cropping, color correction, watermark removal, etc.)

I will try to credit whomever did the scans when I post them (if I happen to know who did the scans, though a lot of these are from over the years and I may not know), so if you happen to not be credited, please e-mail me and let me know. Knowing this, I WILL be removing any watermarks on any scans, as I believe this is intrusive to the scan and actually not definitive of "ownership," so I apologize if this upsets anyone, but scans shouldn't be marred with text that wasn't part of it. If anyone has better quality scans of anything I post/any scans that I might not have, please e-mail and let me know, I will post them! I have a massive amount of scans still left to post, but limited free time right now to do so, so I will try to post as many as I can each day, time allotting. Thank you!

Lyrics
———————————————————————————————————————————
マリオネット　両手首
ハサミでその糸を切った夜
先程の絹糸で
蜘蛛の巣を編むその時だけは
女の子で居られるんですもの
Dance with Skelton
Listen Silence
See the Shadow···
蜘蛛の巣に誰かいる
蝶はもがいてきらきら光る
罪を憎んで蜘蛛憎まずと言うだろう
むしろ綺麗な羽根を憎むべきだと思うけど
月も夜空の星も見て見ぬフリをする
あなた好みの毒よお気に召すはず　めしあがれ
Dance with Skelton
Listen Silence
See the Shadow···
ふりまいた鱗粉で
この給の仕上げをしてくれている

Marionetto…ryōtekubi

Kumo no su ni dareka iru
Chō wa mogaite kira-kira hikaru
“Tsumi o nikunde kumo nikumazu,” to iu darō
“Mushiro kirei na hane o nikumubeki da,” to omō kedo
Tsuki mo yozora no hoshi mo mite, minu furi o suru
Anata konomi no doku yo, o-ki ni mesu hazu…meshiagare

My English Translation
———————————————————————————————————————————
The marionette…the night when I cut the strings
From both of its hands and neck with scissors

Because I can stay as a girl
Only when I weave a spiderweb
With the mentioned silk strings

Dance with Skelton
Listen…silence
See the shadow…
Dance with Skelton
Listen…silence
See the shadow…
Dance with Skelton
Listen…silence
See the shadow…
Dance with Skelton
Listen…silence
See the shadow…1 

Someone is in the spiderweb
A butterfly glistens glitteringly as it struggles
As people say, “Hate the sin, but not the spider/Condemn the offense, but not the offender/Detest the sin, but weep for the sinner”
But I feel it should rather say, “Hate/Condemn/Detest those beautiful wings”
The moon and the stars in the night sky can see it, but pretend not to see it
This poison is your type, it should be agreeable to you…please have some

Dance with Skelton
Listen…silence
See the shadow…
Dance with Skelton
Listen…silence
See the shadow…
Dance with Skelton
Listen…silence

(You are giving the finishing touches to this supply
For me with the scattered powdery scales of those wings)3
