The Japanese Lyrics of "Real World" from "Humanity Has Declined"

目が覚めたならきみが笑ってそんな世界が続くと思ってた 当たり前には少し足りない歪んだ視界から見てた青い夜
Me ga sameta nara kimi ga waratte Sonna sekai ga tsuzuku to omotteta Atarimae ni wa sukoshi tarinai Yuganda shikai kara miteta aoi yoru

何度目の朝で打ち明けた恋のように 少し酸っぱいままで出掛けたら
Nando-me no asa de uchiaketa koi no you ni Sukoshi suppai mama de dekaketara

近付いてくぼくらデリケート 淡い夢を見せてあげよう たまにはいいことあるかも ご褒美にはチョコレート 甘い夢を見れたら それがすべてだなんて笑ってみよう
Chikazuiteku bokura derikēto Awayume o misete ageyou Tamani wa ii koto aru kamo Gohōmi ni wa chokorēto Amai yume o miretara Sore ga subete da nante waratte miyou

曖昧だって大体だって続く気がして夜空を仰いだ なんとなくから見えた景色が新しい世界へほらね導くよ
Aimai datte daitai datte tsuzuku ki ga shite yozora o aoida Nantonaku kara mieta keshiki ga atarashii sekai e hora ne michibiku yo

回り続けるこの星はだれのもの? 難しいハナシなら食後にして
Mawari tsuzukeru kono hoshi wa dare no mono? Muzukashii hanashi nara shokugo ni shite

近付いてくぼくらデリケート 淡い夢を見せてあげよう たまにはいいことあるかも ご褒美にはチョコレート 甘い夢を見れたら それがすべてだなんて笑い飛ばそう
Chikazuiteku bokura derikēto Awayume o misete ageyou Tamani wa ii koto aru kamo Gohōmi ni wa chokorēto Amai yume o miretara Sore ga subete da nante warai tobasou

あの丘まで進めストレート 見えない音に耳傾け 聴こえた?手招きする声 いくつかのバリケード壊せ 知れば知るほど わからなくもなるくらい不思議な世界
Ano oka made susume sutoreto Mienai oto ni mimukeru Kikoeta? Temaneki suru koe Ikutsu ka no barikēdo kowase Shireba shiru hodo wakaranaku mo naru kurai fushigi na sekai

The English Translation of "Real World" from "Humanity Has Declined"

If I wake up and you're smiling, I thought such a world would continue. It's not enough for granted, from the distorted perspective, I looked at the blue night.

Like confessing a love on another morning, still a bit sour, when I set out.

As we get closer, we're delicate. Let me show you a faint dream. Occasionally, good things might happen. As a reward, there's chocolate. If we can have sweet dreams, let's laugh it off, saying that's everything.

Even if it's vague or just a general feeling, as I gazed at the night sky, the scenery I somehow saw is guiding us to a new world.

This revolving star, whose is it? If it's a difficult topic, let's discuss it after eating.

As we get closer, we're delicate. Let me show you a faint dream. Occasionally, good things might happen. As a reward, there's chocolate. If we can have sweet dreams, let's laugh it off.

Advance straight to that hill. Pay attention to the unseen sounds. Did you hear it? The inviting voice. Break a few barricades. The more you know, the more it becomes a mysterious world.
