Lyrics
[Distorted carnival organ, creaky music box, deep bass rumble]
[Verse 1]
[Slow heavy bass pulse, mournful violin, warped calliope]
仮面を被って…踊る朝
笑顔の裏で…血が滲む
操り糸は…首を締め
それでも…足を止められない
[Pre-Chorus 1]
[Unnerving strings swell, bass distortion, glitched brass]
[Key: C minor → E♭ minor]
楽園は…檻の中にあった
自由は…見せかけのステージ
それでも人間は…手を伸ばす
糸を切るための…祈りを
[Chorus 1]
[Heavy distorted bass, gothic choir, broken carnival bells]
[Key: E♭ minor ↔ C minor]
操り人形劇場踊り…今夜も
命がけの…ステップを踏む
観客は誰も…拍手しない
ただ糸だけが…笑っている
[Creaky music box, distant applause reversed]
[Instrumental]
[Key: C minor suspended]
[Bridge]
[distorted and childish]
あなたも同じ…
糸で吊られてる…
気づいてないだけ踊れ…
[Slow pulsating sub-bass, weeping cello, warped xylophone]
[Key: E♭ minor]
鏡の向こうの…私が言う
「その糸は…自分で巻いた」と
でも切れば…落ちるだけだと
知ってるから…踊り続ける
[Unnerving harp glissando, bass climb, distorted brass swell]
[Key: E♭ minor → C minor]
舞台上の…死体は飾られ
新しい…操り人が来る
それでも私は…今日も選ぶ
踊ること…それが反抗だと
[Chorus 2]
[Heavy distorted bass, gothic choir, broken music box]
[Key: C minor ↔ E♭ minor]
操り人形劇場踊り…幕は下りない
血まみれの…シューズを履いて
カーテンコールは…来ないけど
それでも…呼吸を止めない
[Interlude]
[Glitched bass stutter, eerie carnival calliope decay]
[Key: C minor decay]
[Breakdown]
[Single piano note, sub-bass rumble]
[Energetic japanese rap female vocal]
糸を切ってどうなる？
答えはいつも床の上
でも落ちてもまた立つ
傷だらけでも前を向く
踊らされても負けじゃない
鳴らせこの鼓動…ドン、ドン
壊れたリズムでもっと刻め
自分の足で踏むステップ
這ってでも進むそれでいい
糸のない夜まで踊り抜く
これが私の劇場…
[Final Chorus]
[Swell of distorted bass, gothic orchestra, angelic choir]
[Key: C minor → E♭ minor → G♭ major]
操り人形劇場踊り…いつか糸が
切れたその日を…夢見ながら
今はこの痛みを…リズムにして
最後まで…踊り尽くす…
[Outro]
[Fading bass drone, creaky music box unwinding]
[Key: C minor]
糸はまだ…切れないけど
私はもう…操られない
これが私の操り人形劇場踊り…
[Single carnival bell, then crackle to nothing]
