I’ll be a prisoner of this life, Lady
This cast-off jewel has already lost its light
but I’ll wear it forever
Since the day I was saved,
salvation has become my duty
It’s like a fiction
I feel as if I have undergone the trepanation
I’m bound by shackles and corruption
only to see the light once
A prisoner in this room
waiting for something long forgotten
I ate everything that was served to me
An honor student, or a corpse, more boring than anyone else
A sad song, “To every bird, his own nest is beautiful”
Again and again, I spit it out
And after all that, the act of eating…
I’m not good at it anymore
In the middle of the night, I suddenly saw
a glittering, masquerade ball
It was ridiculous, it was crazy
I was drawn to it unbecoming to my age, and…
I’ll be a prisoner of this life, Lady
They say, “It suits you”
“Perfect for you”
They don’t care about what comes after
I’ll be a prisoner of this life, Lady Lady
Even the pain, even the unhealed wounds,
all of them are the ordeals I have to go through to survive
It’s just nothing
A little chipped “pink opal”
a lost “Iolite”
a “topaz” covered in dust
and a lonely “ametrine”
all dressed up in their own way,
and become cloudy and heavy
Even though they’re sinking into the prison of the abyss
Oh, the happiness that came to me, like a national holiday
It’s already set in stone, as scheduled
I don't care if it's a placebo that'll go away in an instant
I dependent… dependent on hopeful despair
I’ll be a prisoner of this life, Lady
“Someday your efforts will bear fruit” “You’ll be accepted”
Fooling yourself with comforting spells
The end of this life is just around the corner, Lady Lady
Envy, jealousy, onlookers, inferiority, even the honor,
all of them are the ordeals we have to go through to survive
We have no choice
I’ll be a prisoner of this life, Lady
I don’t need any more of that bland, generic jewelry
Now, even the cloud is beautiful
Let’s be the prisoner of this life, Lady Lady
“Old-fashioned”…
“It’s not worth the money”…
Words that don’t strike a chord with me are useless
I’ve become a prisoner of this life, Lady Lady
It’s okay to have pain and secrets you can’t tell
Those are what we wear to live, right?
They’re all not that hard
You’re a prisoner too, aren’t you?
