“When stepping into a foreign country, everyone is a mirror Alice;
Before throwing out tradition, I have a feeling that there was something else there..（ Θ）”
Comments: This was a request! I gave it my best shot, though it’s very abstract... See below the lyrics for notes!
Be Alice…
To Abyss…
Weep Alice…
Welcome to you!
The mirror principle, a lost child in chains
A self-righteous mutation
Change me... Change me…
And the loyalty currently loaded with earnest prayers
Knock wood... Knock wood…
In hopes to point out the uncovered criminal
Seeking out the rare twinkle or just relying on fate,
No, I refuse them both; to the point of rejecting anything immobile,
I want to be pragmatic
Door to the heart, door to the heart,
Alice* is pressed against the inside
A nameless person of a nameless nation
Breaking the rules, you are dropped back to earth
The foolishness of not recognizing a crime as a crime, and cruelty, together in a bouquet
The unforgettable you who passed by, not recognizing love as love
The momentary evil disappeared, onto the next suspicion
That’s right, instead of freedom to the point of no meaning,
I want the binding strength of reason
Door to the heart, door to the heart
Julia** is angry on the outside
Spinning a parasol, carrying a kitten,
With a blade held high, she’s a mean-spirited girl
Sneaking through the broken down door, a multitude of arrows are pointed towards the opening
I don’t need anything in hand, not the spear of irritation
For goodness sake, two identical souls’ committed deeds come down to… well...
The difference between emotional strife
Door to the heart, Door to the heart
What’s inside is Alice, dyed in red
Door to the heart, door to the heart
Julia is smiling, full of evil intent
Change the world, change the world
The world is filling up, with lost children learning,
Average residents,
And a lying savior
Notes:
* - Originally “亜理子,” which is a Japanese name that can be read as “Arisu,” “Ariko,” etc. Since the song directly references “Alice” in English, I took some liberties and romanized it.
** - Originally “珠理亜,” which you’ll notice is almost the previous “Alice” name but reversed. It’s pronounced “Juria,” which is typically romanized as “Julia.” This seems to be keeping with the motif of the mirror, with Alice and Julia being reflections of each other.
