Baroque is precisely THAT bitch and there is no debate about it; what there is debate about, in my head at least, is the meaning of all of this. Did our not crazy vampire bite his beloved? If that were the case, what I think is coming up next in Voyage wouldn't make much sense. Because is he even a vampire yet... ? Or did he just strangle her for no reason (men...) and THEN turn into a vampire through a sort of pact with the devil to try and get her back? And mostly: is there a single storyline developing through at least the first two eras? I guess I'll have to go on and dig deeper, potentially risking psychosis, to find out. In the meantime, thank you for being here!

バロック

(music: Mana / lyrics: Tetsu)

狂っちゃいない　正常さそろそろ　
死んだフリは　やめてよ
狂ってるのは　お前達の方さ　
ささやかな愛を　あげただけ

声を聞かせて　微笑みかけて
優しく　そう　いつもの様に
震える頬を　そっと　なでておくれ
優しく　そう　いつもの様に

冷たい口から溢れ出す生温い想いを舐めまわせば
蜃気楼の様にはかない恋はもう永遠より永く遠く

Holy moment & Silent moment
Shine with Brilliant colors
and I stay up to Brilliant Vacant

[跪き首筋の黒い跡を消す術を探す]

Sweet corpse
僕の中のこの愛をおもりにして
暗い底まで沈んでいこう
これでもう彼女は離れない
僕はもう彼女を離さない

「あなたの吐息を溜息も　この手で止めたから」

Barokku

Kurucchainai 　matomosa* sorosoro
Shinda furi wa 　yamete yo
Kurutteru no wa 　omaetachi [omaera] no hou sa
Sasayakana ai wo　 ageta dake 

[Tsumetai kuchi kara afuredasu namanurui omoi wo]

Koe wo kikasete 　hohoemi kakete [yo]
Yasashiku 　sou 　itsumo no you ni
Furueru hoho wo 　sotto　 nadeteokure
Yasashiku 　sou　 itsumo no you ni 

Shinkirō no you ni hakanai koi wa mou eien yori nagaku tooku 

[Anata no toiki wo kono te de tometa kara 
Anata no tameiki kono te de tometa kara] 

Holy moment & Silent moment
Shine with Brilliant colors
[Holy moment & Silent moment]
and I stay up to Brilliant Vacant

[Hizamazuki kubisuji no kuroi ato wo kesu sube wo sagasu]

Tsumetai kuchi kara afuredasu namanurui omoi wo namemawaseba
Shinkirō no you ni hakanai koi wa mou eien yori nagaku tooku

[Holy moment & Silent moment
Shine with Brilliant colors
Holy moment & Silent moment
and I stay up to Brilliant Vacant]

Anata no toiki wo kono te de tometa kara 
Anata no tameiki kono te de tometa kara

[Oh my] sweet corpse
Boku no naka no kono ai wo omori ni shite
[My sweet corpse]
Kurai soko made
[My sweet corpse]
Shizunde ikou 

[Kurucchainai 　matomosa sorosoro
Shinda furi wa 　yamete yo
Furueru hoho wo 　sotto　 nadeteokure
Yasashiku 　sou...]

Kore de mou kanojo wa hanarenai 
Boku wa mou kanojo wo hanasanai 

* The word in the original lyrics is "seijōsa" (normality), but "matomosa" (honesty) is sung
* "Omaetachi" is written, but "omaera" is sung, and they both mean "you" (plural)

Baroque

I am not crazy  　Come on, be honest already
Stop pretending that you are dead
You are the crazy ones 
I simply offered a modest love 

The lukewarm thoughts overflowing from your icy mouth...

Let me hear your voice 　Smile at me
Gently, as always 
I stroke your shivering cheek 
Gently, as always

A love ephemeral like a mirage
Is now larger and greater than eternity

Because I stopped your breath with these hands 
Because I stopped your sigh with these hands

Holy moment & Silent moment 
Shine with Brilliant colors
Holy moment & Silent moment 
And I stay up to Brilliant Vacant 

[I kneel on the floor and look for a way to erase the black trace on the back of your neck]

If I ran my tongue over the lukewarm thoughts overflowing from your icy mouth 
This love, ephemeral like a mirage, would be larger and greater than eternity 

Holy moment & Silent moment
Shine with Brilliant colors
Holy moment & Silent moment
And I stay up to Brilliant Vacant

Because I stopped your breath with these hands 
Because I stopped your sigh with these hands

Oh my sweet corpse 
I will take care of this love inside of me
My sweet corpse
Towards the dark end...
My sweet corpse
Let's sink together

[I am not crazy  　Come on, be honest already
Stop pretending that you are dead
I stroke your shivering cheek
Gently...]

Now she will never leave me
I will never let her go

Notes: First off, I sort of gave up on the brackets in the translation, but everything that is repeated in the song is (should be) there. Then, as I pointed out underneath the rōmaji lyrics, there are two little differences in what is written and what is sung at the beginning. While the second (Omaetachi/ omaera) is irrelevant, if we took into account the written lyrics, the translation would be something like "Come on, go back to normal already". I don't think I have anything more constructive to say about these beautiful lyrics, so if you have any theories, or any comment at all, let me know!
