Trick or Treat ~トリック・オア・トリート~
This is a high-energy J-rock track with a driving rhythm section, prominent guitar riffs, and a male vocalist. The song features a fast tempo, a 4/4 time signature, and a major key. The instrumentation includes electric guitars, bass guitar, drums, and synthesizers. The electric guitars play distorted power chords and melodic lead lines. The bass provides a strong foundational groove. The drums feature a consistent rock beat with frequent fills and cymbal crashes. Synthesizers add atmospheric pads and occasional melodic counterpoints. The male vocalist has a clear, powerful voice, delivering lyrics with a sense of urgency and passion. The vocal delivery is mostly clean, with some instances of shouted or emphasized phrases. The song structure includes verses, choruses, a bridge, and an instrumental break. The production is clean and polished, with a good balance between all instruments. The mix emphasizes the vocals and lead guitar, while maintaining a strong rhythmic presence from the drums and bass. There are some vocal effects such as reverb and delay, and the guitars have a noticeable overdrive effect.

Lyrics
English Translation follows Japanese
「人生を切り開け」だの なんだの言われるけれども
人の生きる道なんて ロールプレイングでもあるまいし
やりこみプレイで 秘宝ゲット なんてありえないよな
「努力は報われる」とか ただのマーケティング文句
誰もが知っているのに つい騙されてしまうよね
そんなんで他人を食い物にする やつらの傲慢さや欲望が
世界を回す原動力という皮肉さが 本当たまらないよな
夜遅くまで頑張ったって 空っぽの手のひら
誰かの笑顔の裏で 誰かが泣いてるだけ
トリック・オア・トリート
うまいもんあげなきゃ いたずらされちゃう
ギブ・アンド・テイク
欲しいもの手に入れるには 心を売るしかない
「夢を追いかけ」走ったって ゴールが遠くなるだけ
誰かのサクセスストーリーの裏で 僕の時間は燃え尽きて
完璧なストーリーなんて 映画の中にしかないよな
「人生の主人公はあなた」なんて 信じて 無邪気に
その方が楽かもしれないけど それこそエキストラじゃない？
けど、現実のルールじゃ 勝者も負け犬も同じ泥まみれ
どんなに足掻いたって ルールを 僕には変えられない
結局、誰もがこのゲームの 駒にすぎないよな
トリック・オア・トリート
うまいもんあげなきゃ いたずらされちゃう
ギブ・アンド・テイク
欲しいもの手に入れるには 心を売るしかない
誰もが欲に踊らされ 仮面をかぶって この舞台の裏じゃ 誰もがピエロさ
それでも僕らはどこかで 抜け道を探す
夜の隙間で希望の欠片を拾うために くたびれた自分を慰めるために
このゲームの果てには いったい何がまっているんだろう
トリック・オア・トリート
うまいもんあげれず いたずらされても
ギブ・アンド・テイク
心を売らずに どこまで行けるんだろう

Hey, they keep telling us to “carve out our own path” or whatever,
but life’s not some damn RPG.
No way you’re grinding through it to snag some legendary treasure, right?“
Hard work pays off”—just a slick marketing line.
We all know it’s BS, but we still fall for it, don’t we?
The arrogance and greed of those who prey on that hope—
it’s the bitter irony that keeps this world spinning.
You bust your ass late into the night, but your hands are still empty.
Behind someone’s smile, someone else is crying.
Trick or treat—
hand over something sweet, or you’re getting messed with.
Give and take—
if you want what’s shiny, you’ve gotta sell your soul.
Chase your dreams all you want, but the finish line just keeps moving.
Behind someone’s success story, my time’s burning to ash.
Perfect stories? Yeah, those only exist in movies.“
You’re the hero of your own life,” they say, and sure, believing that might feel nice.
But doesn’t that just make you an extra in the end?
In this game’s rules, winners and losers are all covered in the same mud.
No matter how hard you fight, you can’t rewrite the rules.
At the end of the day, we’re all just pawns in this game, aren’t we?
Trick or treat—
hand over something sweet, or you’re getting messed with.
Give and take—
if you want what’s shiny, you’ve gotta sell your soul.
Everyone’s dancing to their desires, wearing masks.
Behind the stage, we’re all just clowns.
Still, we keep searching for a way out,
picking up scraps of hope in the dead of night,
trying to comfort our worn-out selves.
What the hell’s waiting for us at the end of this game?
Trick or treat—
even if I’ve got nothing to give and get screwed over,
give and take—
how far can I go without selling my soul?
