DD’sThoughts:
I fell in love with this track the moment I heard it. The strange and whacky dark-pop instrumentation mixed with pop rock almost hit exactly the type of vibe DEMONDICE strives for, so I had to cover it. Usually I make my own MV with my character in the place of the main characters, but due to the subject matter and story it didn’t feel appropriate, so I drew fanart! Like teniwoha, I tried to leave lyrical clues instead of ham-fisting the underlying story and theme, so I had to take some liberties but I do hope you’ll enjoy it as it’s probably my favorite cover I’ve ever made, despite not being rap.
side note: i don’t care how you pronounce “stamens“ im stiCKIN TO WHAT My sCIENce teACHER said-!!
enjoy, everyone!!

ENGLISH LYRICS:
Hateful stares perforate my vision when seen holding hands
Run a rat race- senseless competition, report right back as planned
I’m not a freak of nature
It’s just the way that I’ve matured
Guessing is it “X” or maybe “Y”?
They say tenacious people all have good and evil sides
So they try to convince you I’m here to offend and step all over your pride
Mister Crazy Villain Villain
The remains of a flower that falls in the night
Believe at your expense in my changing fashion sense
All because I’m “masquerading” as a...
Gents and Ladies, Duran Duran
Doctor, take me back to the start if you please
To any passerby that I haven’t met before
In some odd stranger’s story, I’m the villain!!
Villain, villain
Oh
Hated by life
Hate it, but life
Has me gonna watch it all
Burn down
Keepin’ the true nature all a secret- what sex could I be?
Every path leads to endless stamens
But how do I guarantee?
You know the author Ranpo? Only kidding, of course you do.
I was offering you an important clue, imploring and further importing you
It’s said that even the fakest of flowers
Can the bear the sweetest fruit
No need to seem so frightened
Gender isn’t black and white
So let’s talk their ears off about love and despair with no regard to their “wrong and right”
Problem?
Mr. Crazy Villain Villain
Riding high on my possibilities
1LDK inside this still adolescent heart
Let me dance in pure jealousy
Hi! My motto’s Y O L O
Gonna look high and low the while searching for love
The secret side of me that
Society cannot see
Feel obligated to hide
This one goes
Out to all the fallen greatest villains of all time
Guess I better play the role, seeing as I’m a “bad guy”
Cuz right above this callous, fucked-up town a lovely rainbow finally shines
Dancing around and between all the ads and obscenity, in pop-font stands the word “ai”
Oh!
Mister Crazy Villain Villain
The remains of a flower that falls in the night
Believe at your expense in the way that I present
Myself, maybe masquerading as a
Gents and Ladies, Duran Duran...
I have arrived!
To any passerby that ya haven’t met before
In some odd stranger’s story, you’re the villain!!
Villain, villain
Oh hated by life
Hate it but life
Has me gonna watch it all
Burn down.

ORIGINAL LYRICS:
(ご注意ください: オリジナルリリックは和訳ではありません!)
きっと手を繋ぐだけでゾッとされる
馬鹿げた競争(ラットレース)一抜けたら通報される
突然変異(ミュータント)じゃない ただの僕さ
XとかYとか
べき論者様は善悪多頭飼い
僕が君を“侵害“するって言いふらしてる
Oh...
Villain Villain
夜行性の花弁
違う服着て君の前では男子のフリする
拝啓
迎えにきて下さい
顔も知らない誰かにとって僕はもうヴィラン
蛇蝎ライフ
挙句の糜爛
逸脱の性(さが)をまたひた隠す
雄蕊と雄蕊じゃ立ち行かないの?
ねぇ知ってんのか乱歩という作家のことを Import you
造花も果ては実を結ぶ
ぶるってんじゃねーよ 多種多様の性
愛(かな)しい哀しい話をしよっか ゼラチン質の
「で?」
Villain Villain
可能性に幸あれ
僕のハート1LDK 嫉妬くらいはさせてよ
Hi there モットーYOLO
微熱愛でいいのに
誰も知らない 知られたくない
皮膚の下
素晴らしき悪党共に捧げる唄
骨まで演じ切ってやれ悪辣に
残酷な町ほど綺麗な虹が立つ
猥雑広告に踊るポップ体の愛
Oh Villain Villain
夜行性の花弁
違う服着て君の前では男子のフリを!
拝啓
ここだよ
顔も知らない誰かにとって僕はもうヴィラン
蛇蝎ライフ
挙句の糜爛
