Lyrics:

Foaming of energy chemicals on the chest
胸にエナジー ケミカルの泡立ち

Go through the streets of hire, old tires, blood and meat
ハイヤーや古タイヤや血や肉の通りを行き

That is a parody of Liberty Utopia
あれがリバティー ユートピアのパロディー

The gorgeous rows of hire and giga movies are sunny
ハイヤーやギガ・ムービーの絢爛の並木は晴れ
Minor depression is a joke, rosy is cheap
マイナーな欝は戯言 バラ色は廉価

It ’s so happy that I ca n’t carry it.
いわく幸せと知れ 持ちきれぬほど
Dying literacy mechanically kill
瀕死のリテラシー メカニカルに殺す

Streets of sellers, hanging wires and formaldehyde
売人や吊るワイヤーやホルムアルデヒドの通り

Wet with a dry synergy synthetic suite
乾くシナジー 合成スイートで湿し

Frenzy fund rain on a high-rise mega temple
高層のメガ神殿に狂乱のファンドの雨
I can't write the word "Menmai", but the future is cheap
「蒙昧」の文字は書けねど 未来は廉価

Superstition and laughter Causal story
なべて迷信と笑え 因果のストーリー
Come on, eat your shadow that gives off a strange odor
さあ 異臭を放ち来る キミの影を喰い

A horror parade is coming in your name
恐怖のパレードが来る キミの名の下に
Lethal dose to roaring MC Civilian
轟音のMC シビリアンには致死量

The streets of the crock, the diamonds to sell, and the blood
廃人や売るダイアや血に堕ちた道理の通り

That is a parody of Liberty Utopia
あれがリバティー ユートピアのパロディー

The request is SSRI Well, high ho on the trendy terrace
頼みはSSRI さて流行のテラスでハイホー
Minor theory is shit and enjoyment is cheap
マイナーな説はたわごと 享楽は廉価

Don't try hard because it's too late
努々省みるな 手遅れゆえ
Come on, eat your shadow that gives off a strange odor
さあ 異臭を放ち来る キミの影を喰い

A horror parade is coming in your name
恐怖のパレードが来る キミの名の下に

The more you fill the ground, the more your shadow will be born
さあ 地を埋めつくすほど キミの影が産む

A crazy parade is coming in your name
狂気のパレードが来る キミの名の下に

Better translation
Energy in the heart, chemical foam,
I walk through a street of hired cars, old tyres, blood and meet
This is liberty, a parody on utopia
Gorgeous rows of trees [on the avenue of] buyers and Giga Movies, it’s a sunny day

Minor depressions are pranks, rose colour is low priced,
Therefore, rejoice – to the extent you can hardly bear

Dying literacy – we kill it mechanically
A street of traders, hanging wires and formaldehyde
Drying synergy – we moisten it with synthetic sweetness
In the mega-temple of skyscrapers a frenzy rain of funds falls

I cannot write the word ‘ignorance’, but the future is low-priced
Laugh that this is in general a superstition. A story of karma

See, giving an off-smell, eating your shadow
A parade of fear is coming, under your name

An MC of roar – it’s a lethal dose for a civilian
A street of the disabled, diamonds for sell and reason fallen into blood
This is liberty, a parody on utopia
What I ask for is SSRI. And now, hi-ho on the terrace of vogue

Minor theories are nonsense, pleasure is low-priced
On no account you should reflect, for it is too late

See, giving an off-smell, eating your shadow
A parade of fear is coming, under your name
See, it can cover everything around, your shadow produces it –
The parade of insanity is coming, under your name

@FaultyParadox

This song is delusion incarnate, it's the purest word I can put to it.

In the movie and the song itself you can easily just join the parade, having fun, losing yourself, until you're no longer really there.

"lost in a delusion."

Paprika or "the girl in byakkoya" is a song of hope, it's oddly very similar to parade, or "delusion" in some ways but the whole tone is one that is more light hearted and directed in a way of happiness, not neglect.

Paprika brought me out of a depression so great when it was lasting for 3-4 years, and it reminded me of who I was and where I wanted to go again. I highly recommend watching the movie.

If I had one wish it would be to see Satoshi Kons works completed as he envisioned them.

If I had one more it would be to see Yoshihiro Togashi's work completed as he envisioned it.

I think they're very similar visions, but one focuses on how the purest of emotions and how thoughts gets misinterpreted in the world around them, while the other is more about bringing those pure emotions and dreams out so they can flourish in the world around them as they are.



@svarog6567

Lyrics of this song seem to describe pretty well what is going on in our society here in 2020.

Lirycs:
Energy in my heart is of chemical foam

A street of taxis, worn tires, blood and flesh

Behold all that is LIBERTY a PARODY of UTOPIA*

A shining boulevard is full of merchants and great movies


youth depression is a joke, La Vie en Rose is on sale

They say you should know you are happier than you realize

Dying humanism is systematically murdered

Aldehyde street full of merchants and hanging wires

Moisturize that dry synergy with artificial sweetener*

Raining money in huge shrines


You can not write the word 'ignorance'. The future is on sale

Step aside and laugh that Karma is just a superstition


Now it is coming your way,

Giving off a stench and devouring your shadow

The parade of terror is coming, calling your name


The roaring MC becomes a lethal dose for the audience*

Streets full of cripples, selling diamonds and battered taoism

Behold all that is LIBERTY a parody of UTOPIA*

Rely on SSRI, and say 'hi-ho' in cafateria


youth theory is a nonsense, hedonism is on sale

It is irreversible, pint of no return is already reached


Now it is coming your way,

giving off a stench and devouring your shadow

The parade of terror is coming, calling your name

Now your shadow procreates as if the ground did not hear*

The parade of madness is coming, calling your name


I know that others also posted translations but there are diferent versions and this is one of them.
This one is my friend's, he know japanese and said that most translations are wrong,
because original lyrics after translation do not express the same meaning.

'*' Means that he was not certain of the meaning of these parts.

I think the songwriter specifically wrote this song so you could kind of half-remember it. As if it was in an actual dream. Genius.
