Imperial Girl

"Wanna escape from rural areas as soon as possible (really)."


The plans to a degenerate city
Appear mellowly upon a fickle world's scene.
I gasped in the traffic jam.
Trap, Chiptune, and Neon--à la carte.

I walk through the sentimental city.
These are the memes and melodies of the night I loitered in.
I arrived at a back alley after wandering around.
I melt into its dark night.
Ooh...

A dispute breaks out in the instinctive city.
Fuzzily, in the noisy silver hall...
Nothing fades away in the tumult
Vaporwave, màkina, et cetera

The city's authority is absolute.
I turn today's madman into butter.
I snarled at them, acting tough.
The city's systems tower above.

I hang a feeling of want, made from pure gold, from my left ear
And when I put on a perfumed depression
I set antibacterial congestion on my nails
During a night, night, night, night in which nothing will happen after all...

Dragging along a rotting body and mind,
I drift alone aimlessly.
Crawling around a city destroyed by ruinous resonance, I am a zombie
No matter how much it may fall into darkness,
Tomorrow's light will stain the world.
Returning to life, I am an
Imperial Girl.

This is a blind fantasy of a city.
Snobs crowd together and the scent of Chloé drifts by.
I'm sent slightly mad by
A PUSHER. Wave. Pablo. Et cetera.

The town is love-like.
In a dazzling night and a gene shower,
I trace love's cynicality
With fingertips that will soon be wet.

I polished guilt, hard as diamond, with my ring finger,
I put my arms through my elastic superiority complex,
And I coloured the abysses of my eyes with acquired prejudices.
If, if, if, if I am to dream in that room with someone else, it's already too late.

Make up for the sin
Of wounding my body and mind!
Washed away by impulsive emotions, I end up in a dark, dark night.
I was tied up so, so much
Only because I wanted to love you.
I, with a tearstained face, am a
Weeping Girl.

Those cheerless days have already
Been embraced by the swaying skyscrapers.
I face the buildings and wish upon the stars in the night sky.
In such a night...

Dragging along a rotting body and mind,
I drift alone aimlessly.
Crawling around a city destroyed by ruinous resonance, I am a zombie.
No matter how much it may fall into darkness,
Tomorrow's light will stain the world.
It's not worth worrying about stuff like the future.

O, places that I loved so, so much!
O, streets that I walked down so, so many times!
I'm attacked by nostalgia that brings on tears and running through streets as the sun sets, I am a zombie.
I will leave behind the wounds on my body and mind,
And your smile and voice--everything.
I'm going to leave them and die. I am an
Imperial Girl.
