| 満員電車はダミー | man'in densha wa damii | The full train is a dummy |
| アウトサイダー神 | autosaidaa kami | and the outsider God |

Translation Notes[]
- ↑ The Japanese word could also mean ‘face’.
- ↑ P.I.S is used in Japan to refer to ‘Public Information Style Corporation’. They’re an artist production corporation, which is kind of like a talent agency or a label. Some people joke that it stands for パーッと・一緒に・騒ごう (Pa tto, Issho ni, Sawagou – enthusiastic merrymaking together).
- ↑ 愛 四苦 音 (ai, shiku, on – Love, four kinds of Buddhist suffering, sound) is written, but when interpteted in the context of the line we can conclude that it’s the sound of the words as a whole (I sick on) that’s most important, not what they actually mean individually.
- ↑ Various different kanji that are read as ‘a’ are used here: 啞, 亜, 阿, 明, 存, 在, 吾, 飽 (Mute, Asia, corner, exist, located in, me, full).
