KARAKURI TOWN [English translation]

As you run, nearing the middle of the darkness

[Wind-up handled dolls] (while you escape)

You trip on a stone; it’s a dead end

When you turn around, someone’s watching

The demon of a protogé, crowned a sheep

At the boundaries of the night, memories squirm

[Under the control]

If I smile sweetly and woo you…

Hand over the gun at your back

In this wind-up town, there must be an end

To our manipulated, competing dreams

My heart is still moving, so

Give me back that body

These controlled words remain a lie

[Wind-up handled dolls] (disturbed)

Left to the flow, swallowed down

If we embrace one another, can we become our true selves?

Tamed, a player in a comedy

Don’t go unnoticed

Under the deceiving picture of the moon, you’re betrayed

Beyond your escape, there are dreams

My heart is still moving, so

Give me back those tears

In this wind-up town, there must be an end

To our manipulated, competing dreams

My heart is still moving, so

This body, everything

Already, everything single thing is too late

If it’s a farce, I’ll end it for you

If you still can’t hear this voice…

Because I’ll steal it away without hesitation
