魅惑と魔性の skill
紫煙の galaxy は絵になる da da
乱れた鼓動にゃ pill

砂嵐の Channel 5は 負荷のない ga ga
俺達の未来は暗い
閉ざされた世界でみんなと一緒
Do what you wanna do and be my "Brain toy"
カルマは無意識の壁 イデアの上昇と下降
ロゴスは美意識の奴隷 憐れな妄想と野望
闇を極彩色に塗れ あまねく未曾有の楽園
すべては不可思議な夢
ザ・ビートルズの波動と魔法に yell
無作為の X-ray と 故意の flare gun
形而上の黒点を射る
昼下がりの extacy は交尾の data
平和な受精を見る
嗚呼 フェリーニが夜に誘う yeah
幸せのサテリコンは女にゃ内緒
Why are you livin' in a "Plastic movie"?

The lyrics of 桑田佳祐's song 質量とエネルギーの等価性 (Equivalence of Mass and Energy) reflect on various themes, including the power of music, the duality of human nature, and the illusion of reality. The opening lines mention the DJ being Chemical Brothers, indicating the captivating and seductive power of their music. The reference to a "galaxy of purple smoke" and the chaotic heartbeat represent the intoxicating and thrilling experience music can provide.
The song then delves into the concept of karma as an unconscious barrier and the rise and fall of ideas. It highlights the idea that our thoughts and desires can enslave us and describes the need to embrace the unknown and paint the darkness with vibrant colors to create an unprecedented paradise. The reference to The Beatles' waves and magic symbolizes the transformative and uplifting power of music.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of a plastic and artificial existence portrayed in a "Plastic movie," questioning why one would choose to live in such a superficial world. It further criticizes the idealistic utopian world written by Machiavelli, which seems ironic given the state of current politicians.
The song concludes by mentioning the equation E=MC2, attributed to Einstein, emphasizing that everything in the world is a balance between mass and energy. It implies that the ultimate reality is a combination of both material and spiritual existence.
