MAKE UP SHADOW (Demo Version)

Japanese Lyrics
真夜中の鏡　ドアの無い部屋で

お化粧で戯ぶ　顔の無い少年

ある時は姫君 ある時は淫売

描いては消した　Make up shadow

その中のひとり　結ばれる夢など

とうに捨て去った　幻覚のわたし

脆くて弱い　孤独な彼に

恋焦がれているの　鏡の中で

真白からやがて　染みついて消せぬ

面影はまるで　あの蜘蛛の化身

"マドモワゼル・タランチュラ"

お願いだからどうか会わせて？

嫌よそれだけは言いたくないわ

「生まれて初めて誰かに似てると言われたよ

僕の全てが変わる気がする」

跡形もなく壊されてゆく姿を見るのは辛すぎるから

聞き分けなくちゃね さよならしなくちゃいけないと

教えてあげるわ　この先は窓　鏡を割ったら

新たな世界　彼女は待ってる　さあ迷わずに

飛び散る欠片になってくわたしはキラキラと

忘れないでねと　微笑みながら

I'm just a ghost in the mirror

I'm just a ghost in the mirror

Modified Japanese Lyrics
真夜中の鏡　ドアの無い部屋で

お化粧で遊ぶ1　顔の無い少年

ある時は姫君 ある時は淫売

描いては消した　Make up shadow [メーキャップ・シャドー]

その中のひとり　結ばれる夢など

とうに捨て去った　幻覚のわたし

脆くて弱い　孤独な彼に

恋焦がれているの　鏡の中で

真白からやがて　染みついて消せぬ

面影はまるで　あの蜘蛛の化身

"マドモワゼル・タランチュラ"

お願いだからどうか会わせて？

嫌よそれだけは言いたくないわ

「生まれて初めて誰かに似てると言われたよ

僕の全てが変わる気がする」

跡形もなく壊されてゆく姿を見るのは辛すぎるから

聞き分けなくちゃね さよならしなくちゃいけないと

教えてあげるわ　この先は窓　鏡を割ったら

新たな世界　彼女は待ってる　さあ迷わずに

飛び散る欠片になってくわたしはキラキラと

忘れないでねと　微笑みながら

I'm just a ghost in the mirror

I'm just a ghost in the mirror

I'm just a ghost in the mirror

I'm just a ghost in the mirror2

Rōma-ji Lyrics
Mayonaka no kagami…doa no nai heya de

O-keshō de asobu1…kao no nai shōnen

Aru toki wa himegimi, aru toki wa inbai

Egaite wa keshita…makeup shadow [mēkyappu shadō]

Sono naka no hitori…musubareru yume nado

Tō ni sutesatta…genkaku no watashi

Morokute yowai…kodoku na kare ni

Koikogarete iru no…kagami no naka de

Masshiro kara yagate…shimitsuite kesenu

Omokage wa marude…ano kumo no keshin

(“Madomowazeru Taranchura“)

O-negai dakara, dōka awasete?

Iya yo! Soredake wa iitakunai wa

“Umarete hajimete dareka ni niteru to iwareta yo

Boku no subete ga kawaru ki ga suru”

Atokata mo naku kowasarete yuku sugata o miru no wa tsurasugiru kara…

…Kikiwake nakucha ne, sayonara shinakucha ikenai to

Oshiete ageru wa…kono saki wa mado…kagami o wattara

Arata na sekai…kanojo wa matteru…sā, mayowazu ni!

Tobichiru kakera ni natteku watashi wa kira-kira to

“Wasurenaide ne,” to…hohoeminagara

(I’m just a ghost in the mirror

I’m just a ghost in the mirror

I'm just a ghost in the mirror

I'm just a ghost in the mirror)2

English Translation (Translated by Madame Tarantula)
(Looking at) a midnight mirror…in a room without a door

A boy without a face…plays with makeup

(At) certain times, (he makes himself into) a princess, (at) other times (he makes himself into) a prostitute

Drawn/Painted (on) and erased (by a)…makeup shadow

(He is only) one person therein (among them)…(I) abandoned long ago

The dreams and such (I had) tied together (with him)…I (am simply) of a hallucination/an illusion (of his)

(I) am deeply in love with…the him that is fragile, weak and

Lonely/Isolated…inside of the mirror

(His) face (is) just like…the incarnation of that spider

Before long, being indelibly stained by…pure white and (it) cannot be erased

(“Mademoiselle/Miss Tarantula“)

Because (it) is my wish, (can I) please meet (her)?

No!  That alone, (I) don’t want to say

“(I) was told that (I) resemble someone for the first time (since I) was born

(I) feel that everything about me will (now) change”

Because (it) is too painful to see (her) destroy (your) figure/appearance without leaving any trace…

…(You) have to understand, (it) is pointless to have to (say) goodbye/farewell

(I) will do (you) the favor of teaching (you this)…from now on, if (you) break/smash the mirror…(that is) a window

(To) a new world (where)…she is waiting (for you, you will be free)…now, without hesitating, (do it)!

I glitter as (she) becomes broken pieces that scatter

“Don’t forget (me),” (she) says…while smiling

(I’m just a ghost in the mirror

I’m just a ghost in the mirror

I'm just a ghost in the mirror

I'm just a ghost in the mirror)1
