AIZO (English translation)

King Gnu English

Intro

Love me! Love me!Hate me! Hate me!Love me! Love me!Kill me! Kill me! (Oww)

Chorus

Love and hate swirling round and roundSinging the mad carnival of Greater TokyoSpin, spin through this eraDrenched in the shame of livingConsuming love and hateLet's go on, dressed in grandeurParting, parting till the endThen shall we meet again

Verse 1

Drowning in the dramaticAccept my unfinished selfComfort in fictionDiscord between lies and truth

Verse 2

Even if this love is broken, forgive meIt's fine, survive this stageTrembling like a sacrificial pawnI can't stay meekIf I'm always the one getting beaten

Refrain

(Love me! Love me!) Nothing but righteousness(Hate me! Hate me!) Takes it all away(Love me! Love me!) Painted in love and hate(Kill me! Kill me!) Take me out of here (Ooh)

Chorus

Love and hate embracing each otherThe climax, always and foreverDeception, deception is fineI don't care about the priceLove and hate, stepping into itSpreading diplomatic charmEverything ends without questionThen shall we meet again

Bridge

Feels like a dream, doesn't it? Like a lie?In Tokyo now, you can't stay saneSweet words make it acheMake me think this moment is the bestMercy is unnecessaryThe world's impermanence, parallel lines for lifePainted in love and hateTake me out of here

Refrain

(Love me! Love me!) Nothing but righteousness(Hate me! Hate me!) Heartless again today(Love me! Love me!) Painted in love and hate(Kill me! Kill me!) Heart laid bare

Pre-Chorus

Love and hate swirling round and roundSinging the mad carnival of Greater TokyoSpin, spin through this eraDrenched in the shame of livingConsuming love and hateLet's go on, dressed in grandeurParting, parting till the endThen shall we meet again

Chorus

Love and hate embracing each otherThe climax, always and foreverDeception, deception is fineI don't care about the priceLove and hate, stepping into itSpreading diplomatic charmEverything ends without questionThen shall we meet again

Refrain

(Love me! Love me!) Nothing but righteousness(Hate me! Hate me!) Takes it all away(Love me! Love me!) Painted in love and hate(Kill me! Kill me!) Take me out of here(Love me! Love me!) Nothing but righteousness(Hate me! Hate me!) Heartless again today(Love me! Love me!) Painted in love and hate(Kill me! Kill me!) Heart laid bare
