Lyrics
| Japanese | Romaji | English |
| Dancer in the Dark | ||
| うたた寝に鳴らす | utatane ni narasu | The bell rang through my doze |
| 鈴の音は幸か躁か | suzu no ne wa kou ka sou ka | Whether like this (blessing) or that (insanity) |
| 産声に似ていて | ubugoe ni nite ite | It starts resembling the cry of a newborn |
| 読んだ バイブルも | yonda baiburu mo | Reading even the Bible, |
| 逆さにすれば | sakasa ni sureba | Upside down, |
| さほど大差はない | sahodo taisa wa nai | Just to find it’s not much different that way |
| でたらめに聞かす | detarame ni kikasu | Making them listen to the nonsense, |
| 秘め事は憂か鬱か | himegoto wa yuu ka utsu ka | Is your secret one of sadness or melancholy? |
| どちらでもいいのに | dochira demo ii noni | Either one fine, of course, |
| 恋にかまけた | koi ni kamaketa | Too preoccupied by love |
| モーテルの | mooteru no | What if we kept it hidden |
| 煤けたあの箱の中 | susuketa ano hako no naka | In that motel, |
| 隠したら？ | kakushitara? | Inside that soot-covered box? |
| 読みかけの本に | yomikake no hon ni | Tell me the reason for your sigh |
| 挟む溜め息の訳を話して | hasamu tameiki no wake o hanashite | That interrupts your book, unfinished |
| 楽になれるほど | raku ni nareru hodo | Til it becomes second nature— |
| 単純な夜じゃない | tanjunna yoru ja nai | This isn’t just any ordinary night |
| 今だけは | ima dake wa | Just for now |
| 誰にも邪魔させない邪魔させない | dare ni mo jama sasenai jama sasenai | Let no one intervene, no one intervene |
| 答えを忘れてきてしまう | kotae o wasuretekite shimau | Til I start forgetting the answer |
| 恥じらいの前では | hajirai no mae de wa | Because in the face of my shyness |
| 今日も無口になってしまうから | kyou mo mukuchi ni natte shimau kara | I’ll end up keeping my mouth shut again today |
| 楽しい遊びじゃもう | tanoshii asobi ja mou | Even in the fun and games I could |
| 喜べない喜べないのに | yorokobenai yorokobenai noni | Take no pleasure, take no pleasure, |
| 今更 | imasara | Til only now |
| こんなこと何の意味もないことは | konna koto nan no imi mo nai koto wa | As I’ve really come to understand too late, |
| もうちゃんとわかってるよ | mou chanto wakatteru yo | That none of it really means anything |
| 左手を探す | hidarite o sagasu | Searching for my left hand, |
| 奴の目は見えてないな | yatsu no me wa mietenai na | I don’t see his eyes |
| それでも生きていて | soredemo ikite ite | And yet I keep on living |
| 飲んで歩いたフィーダーも | nonde aruita fiidaa mo | For even the feeder that drank as it walked |
| 味覚に寄れば | mikaku ni yoreba | If it just comes down to taste, |
| そこに大儀はない | soko ni taigi wa nai | there’s no big deal there |
| 諦めに尽くす | akirame ni tsukusu | Resigning yourself to defeat |
| 始まりは今日でどうだ | hajimari wa kyou de dou da | For the first time today, how’d it feel? |
| 一人でもいいのに | hitori demo ii noni | It’s fine even if you’re alone |
| 宵に出かけて | yoi ni dekakete | Going out into the evening |
| エーテルに浸かった | eeteru ni tsukatta | Soaked in the ether, |
| バスタブの中光っていたのは？ | basutabu no naka hikatte ita no wa? | What was that there, sparkling in the bathtub? |
| どこにも逃げられない逃げられない | doko ni mo nigerarenai nigerarenai | Having nowhere they can run to, nowhere they can run to, |
| 想いは擦れ違ってしまう | omoi wa surechigatte shimau | Your thoughts can’t help but collide with each other |
| 戸惑いの後には | tomadoi no ato ni wa | Because once you’ve gotten over the wonderment |
| 今日も独りになってしまうから | kyou mo hitori ni natte shimau kara | You’ll find yourself alone again today |
| 苦しいばかりじゃもう | kurushii bakari ja mou | If you find yourself |
| 飲み込めない飲み込めないなら | nomikomenai nomikomenai nara | Unable to swallow, unable to swallow, |
| 尚更 | naosara | Only the hard stuff, even less than before |
| こんなこと何の価値もないことはもう | konna koto nan no kachi mo nai koto wa mou | Just realize none of this is really worth it |
| みんなわかってるよ | minna wakatteru yo | Everyone else already figured that out |
| 誰にも邪魔させない邪魔させない | dare ni mo jama sasenai jama sasenai | Let no one intervene, no one intervene |
| 答えを忘れてきてしまう | kotae o wasuretekite shimau | Til I start forgetting the answer |
| 恥じらいの前では | hajirai no mae de wa | Because in the face of my shyness |
| 今日も無口になってしまうから | kyou mo mukuchi ni natte shimau kara | I’ll end up keeping my mouth shut again today |
| 楽しい遊びじゃもう | tanoshii asobi ja mou | Even in the fun and games I could |
| 喜べない喜べないのに | yorokobenai yorokobenai noni | Take no pleasure, take no pleasure, |
| 今更 | imasara | Til only now |
| こんなこと何の意味もないことは | konna koto nan no imi mo nai koto wa | As I’ve really come to understand too late, |
| もうちゃんとわかってるよ | mou chanto wakatteru yo | That none of it really means anything |
