STRAIGHT BET
MYTH & ROID Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

"For my love, I'll bet"
命こそを銃弾に賭ける straight bet

"Now have a seat"
彼は言った蔑む視線で
違法なオッズ破滅には嘲笑を

ラストコールが煽る

This 1 chip の勝負を

"For my love, I'll bet"
願望ありきの打算じゃ勝ちは有り得ない
"Now take this, my life"
命こそを弾丸に
さあルーレット廻れ私を嗤うがいい

"No more bets"
遊ぶボールは誰かの様
運命なんて偶然の虚飾

喰い合いを急ぐ死んだ眼の獣よ

"Never be afraid"
感情何度込めてもパーセントは上がらない
"Believe in my choice"
純粋で美麗な勝負を
さあルーレット止まれ非情に選ぶがいい

ジャッジはただ敢え無く
敗者は消え勝者には ah
次が待っている
そしてルーレット廻る勝利さえ許さず

"For my love, I'll bet"
一度捨てた命に足掻いてはいけない
"Now take this, my life"
潔く美しく
さあルーレット廻れ私を嗤うがいい

佇む一枚のチップ
譲ることなく一つを守る

歪に狂う歯車のその中心で
"I'll bet"
