Scanner
Hide Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

君の その 計り知れぬ
宇宙サイズの頭脳には
天国のアインシュタインさえも
舌を巻くよ
君の その 濁りのない
朝露の様な笑顔には
額の中のモナリザさえも
荷物まとめ 夜逃げする
What do you see? What do you want?
何がしたい?

君を 見つめているよ
ずっと 眺めているよ
微笑んで 見ててあげるから
好きにしなよ
愛想良くしているよ
わがままひとつ 言わないから
話合わせてやるから
ツノ出せ ヤリ出せ しっぽ出せ

Scan your brain, scan your bone
透けて見えるぜ  何もかもが
Scan your brain, scan your bone
甘く見てればいいさ  今のうちさ
Scan your brain, scan your bone
まるでハリボテ  ハリコのトラ
Scan your brain, scan your bone
知らぬが仏  せいぜい吠えりゃいいさ
Scan your all

君の頭を割って
中身をのぞいてみれば
ゴムマリの様にツルツルの
タヌキ笑う
枕 高くしてなよ
寝首かかれて泣くな
呪え 己の諸行を
無常謳う 鐘鳴(かね)の音

Scan your brain, scan your bone
透けて見えるぜ  何もかもが
Scan your brain, scan your bone
甘く見てればいいさ  今のうちさ
Scan your brain, scan your bone
まるでハリボテ  ハリコのトラ
Scan your brain, scan your bone
知らぬが仏  せいぜい吠えりゃいいさ

Scan your brain, scan your bone
Scan your brain, scan your bone
Scan your brain, scan your bone




Scan your brain, scan your bone
Scan your all

Inspect your mind and soul, as everything will be laid bare. Ignorance is bliss, so enjoy the moment. It's like a fake tiger, hollow and light. You can bark all you want, but it won't change anything. Look at everything.


君の頭を割って 中身をのぞいてみれば ゴムマリの様にツルツルの タヌキ笑う
If I cracked open your head and peered inside, I would see a smooth and rubbery raccoon dog laughing.


枕 高くしてなよ 寝首かかれて泣くな 呪え 己の諸行を 無常謳う 鐘鳴(かね)の音
Make sure your pillow is high, so no one can slit your throat while you sleep. Don't cry. Curse your own actions and listen to the sound of the bell of impermanence.
