Addictive Epicurean

 

 
song: Hora/ lyrics: Kaya

It gets underfoot and prevents my steps, lukewarm reality
I’ll tear it from myself and run from here
Into the forbidden trap of indulgent naivety

 

ashimoto sametagaru
namanurui genjitsu
hikisaite nigeru no
kindan no amai wana

As if dancing
So carefree
Decadent pleasure degrades

You’re noticing now, aren’t you?
How you’ve already become its slave

 

mau you ni
karuyakani
daraku suru kairaku

ki ga tsuite iru deshou?
omae wa mou toriko

So look if you please
Witness the beauty of our fall
Soundlessly In leniency
As the sky comes tumbling down

 

saa, goran nasai
subarashiki kono hametsu
oto mo naku
yuruyaka ni
sora ga ochite yuku

You spread your promised wings
And with that soar up on high

In the moment of your expulsion
We will join and become one

 

shigireta sono hane o
hirogaeshi maiagare

chiriyuku shunkan ni
hitotsu ni naru no yo


After that the new world will dawn
So gather, my created children
In this place you can all be forgiven
We can follow spoiled impurity
And in beauty anguish will pass away

 

atarashiki sekai
taukurareta kodomotachi
koko naraba yurusareru
amayakani mazariae
utsukushiku modae yuku

The very best poison, lick it up
Devour all your sins

Become beautiful butterflies
become flowers

 

gokujou doku o name
tsumi o kui

uruwashii chou ni nare
hana ni nare

 

I dunno...this doesn't really remind me of much but maybe the Bacchus festivities back in the days...

I drew a picture of Dada as Bacchus once, and it was the most beautiful thing any bored, talentless college student has drawn in 5 minutes on the crowded subway ever...I also dropped all my papers in the process and, while picking them up, banged my head on the floor in desparation and dispair. OTZ.
