Translation of the song Behind a vacant image artist DIR EN GREY

中身の無い唄を聴き漁り

Listening to empty songs at random

心が満たされるわけでもなく

Without getting any satisfaction

隠しきれない傷と

With scars not fully concealed

満面の笑みで語りかけ

Giving a big smile and telling something

つぶらな瞳 闇を照らす

Innocent eyes dispelling the darkness

答えが欲しい 空像に口無し

I want the answer, but the vacant image tells no tales

生きる為にかけた鍵

Once I locked it to be alive

錆を落とし理解の餓え

I'll remove its rust, craving enlightenment

開き覗く

To unlock it and look inside

輪になって囲む 捨てる教養

Dancing in a circle and unlearning

マンホールから覗く君達もおいで?

Come on, you Peeping Toms under the manholes

慣れてくるはずさ

You'll get used to it

慣れてきた?

Or are you getting used to it yet?

道に添えた花束が笑う

There's a bouquet laughing by the street

隠しきれない傷と

With scars not fully concealed

満面の笑みで語りかけ

Giving a big smile and telling something

つぶらな瞳 闇を照らす

Innocent eyes dispelling the darkness

答えが欲しい 空像に口無し

I want the answer, but the vacant image tells no tales

羽根の無い背を向け

Turning the back without wings

拒む未来

To the future

流れた刻は平等に問う 生き方

The past asks every single one how to live

降り積もる 願い

Prayers falling and piling up

散れば愛おしく

Sweet when blown away

誰もが見ようとしない その花束が

The bouquet ingnored by everyone

見詰めた未来

It looked into the future
