VERSE 1

Shinjuku night sky

The reddish eyes of the skyscrapers 

Looking down and looking up

To find the next(meal) that they’ll have

The wasted people will never realize 

They’re lured out and caught up 

With violent urban lights

PRE CHORUS 1

Dreaming up the neon signs 

and the Bright and brilliant sparks

Get them high and flapping wings 

now everybody’s got the black hole

The moon is lighting the city up

But nobody’s looking up at the sky anymore?

CHORUS

My heart, dissatisfaction

Screaming and lacking something forever

But we keep on closing our eyes

Then she says it’s miscalculation

You know it’sドレスコード (dress code)

Dancing together until it’s dawn

Can you hear it? Cicadas crying through the night

VERSE 2

As if looking through the upside-downed human-verse

The stars in the sky fell into the city lights

The fleeting orange lights 

Are getting you freakin’ out in the car

You’re getting the thought of something bad in your mind

But you can’t get out of the ride

PRE CHORUS 2

With your cynical works and words

You dress it up, you think you’re armed

You look proud, you think you’re done

Well, now you got the black hole

Finally, sleep is yours again 

So don’t lie, cicada, tell me why you look so unalive

CHORUS 2

My heart, dissatisfaction,

Screaming and needing something forever

But we keep on living lies

Then he says it’s misapprehension

You know it’s スタンダード(standard)

Singing together till it’s dawn

BRIDGE

I’ve been shaken in the swinging world

And overwhelming days

I was running and running overnight

I got lost where I am

Let me out!

Someone cried

As the city’s going dark

You can hear the song with the sorrowful melodies

Nobody knows who is singing the melodies

With the city lights getting brighter in the dusk. Oooh

Can you hear? Cicadas crying through the night!
