Plastic Tree - ねじまきノイローゼ (Neji maki noiro-ze) (English translation)

Japanese

Original lyrics

ねじまきノイローゼ

遠くで子守唄が聞こえて目を覚ます

なぜだか指の先が冷たく痺れてる

破れたぬいぐるみがいきなり喋り出す

「本当の君のことを教えてあげる」って

白い花どこに咲く汚れた手の中に咲く

食べかけのチョコレートを口の中で溶かして

おかしな儀式がただ終わるのを待っている

綿を出しぬいぐるみはまだまだ喋り続ける

狂ったバイオリンに似てる君の嫌いなあの声

僕にくれたものは何？

君が僕にくれたものは何？

なぁに？

English

Translation

Far away, I hear a lullaby and quickly awaken.

I don't know why, but my fingertips are cold and numb.

My ripped-up stuffed animal starts talking to me.

"I'll tell you the truth about who you really are," it whispers.

Where does the white flower boom? It blooms in my dirty hands.

I melt the piece of half-eaten chocolate in my mouth.

I just need to wait for this strange ritual to come to an end.

The stuffed animal, with its insides coming out, keeps trying to talk to me.

Your voice, which you hate, sounds like a broken violin.

What is it that you gave to me?

What is it?
