[Translation]

After looking at the detour of a hill road, I sneered at it
A nimble cat runs through the intersection and disappears.

I've been a slave of a totalitarian rule
Indeed, I'm completely helpless
I felt like I'm full while writhing on algae.

I go into the darkness, sending off a blue shadow
Before you know it, I went away from the place I wanted
I wonder who's the one being fooled.

My dream will be known to the hypocrites later on
It appears anywhere then it will be nowhere
I gently diverted my eyes so I'd deceive them
Don't wanna be a shifty cat...

The principle of rewards of adults
Yes, I noticed it's about curry favoring
When overlooked, children doesn't mind being alone.

The pendulum sways ceaselessly, the time ticks away
Before you know it, the several seconds is slipping off to several minutes
I wonder who was the one left behind.

If everyday does pass by, then
Surely, you'll be worried how much they've suffered
I feel useless; I closed my eyes tightly
Wanna come out from the jail...

The cat still goes forward while avoiding the light
It doesn't know the shadow creeps little by little.

My mirror self is more ordinary than I thought
Before anyone knows it, my body and my feelings separates
Is my own self being fooled too?

Later on, my dream is known as hypocrisy
Are ruins the ones I see? Or successful people?
As time passes by, i'll be able to understand myself
Don't wanna be a shifty cat...
