~The Lair of Madame Tarantula~

Japanese song lyric transliterations/English translations and Visual Kei scans (edited by me).

All transliterations and translations have been done personally by me.
(*PLEASE ASK TO USE ANYTHING I POST ON MY BLOG, I'VE WORKED VERY HARD ON THESE AND DON'T MIND SHARING, IF CREDIT IS GIVEN. THANK YOU!*)

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. Scan directory links are also listed underneath discographies for each artist by magazine and then release date chronologically once they've been edited by me and posted to this site.

Please credit me if you use any of my translations! Thank you!

Lyrics

冷酷な Pessimiste
宿す 悲愴の影

妄想と現実の
迫り来る 絶望の
支配者の Pessimiste
偽りの狂劇

羽ばたく夢は 忘却の彼方へ
残酷な 現実さえも
飛べない鳥は 灼熱の彼方へ
残酷な 夢 すべてを

舞い狂え
冷酷な Pessimiste
宿す 悲愴の影

羽ばたく夢は 忘却の彼方へ
残酷な 現実さえも
飛べない鳥は 灼熱の彼方へ
残酷な

羽ばたく羽は 崩れゆき 貴方へ…

儚い 夢さえも
冷酷な偶像に 操られ
飛べない 鳥達よ

My English Translation
———————————————————————————————————————————
???
Inside, ???
Outside, lose your mind1

The sorrowful shadow…that conceives
A cruel/cold-hearted…pessimist

The pessimist is of the despair…that is imminent/approaching
Inside, ???2
Delusion and reality
Outside, lose your mind3
The pessimist…of a ruler
Exists in a false, enthusiastic drama

A dream that spreads its wings…is flying to the direction of oblivion
Even this cruel…dream cannot escape it4
Flightless birds…are flying to the direction of incandescence/scorching heat
Everything is lost to…the cruel…present time5

Dance insanely and
The sorrowful shadow…that conceives
A cruel/cold-hearted…pessimist

A dream that spreads its wings…is flying to the direction of oblivion
Even this cruel…dream cannot escape it4
Flightless birds…are flying to the direction of incandescence/scorching heat
Cruel…

Their wings that flap…collapse and…to you they crawl…

Even this fleeting/transient…dream cannot escape it
It is controlled…by a cruel idol and
The flightless…birds perish in the incandescence/scorching heat…
