[BPM: 154]
[INTRO - male voice]
(Music box melody with distorted laughter)
Tick… tock… tick… tock…
ようこそ、秘密のサーカスへ。
(Welcome to the secret circus.)
(Heavy guitar crash)
Everybody smiling with knives behind their backs…
So tell me—
Are you ready for the parade?
⸻
[VERSE 1]
Spotlight burns across my face
Painted smiles all out of place
Dancing like a marionette
While the crowd screams “more” instead
Black ribbons around my throat
Pretty lies inside each note
Clap your hands and play along
Even monsters sing their songs
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
Heartbeat louder than the drums
No escape for anyone
If the world’s a masquerade
Then I’ll burn down every stage
⸻
[CHORUS]
Welcome to the crimson parade
Where broken hearts get celebrated
Laugh too loud, cry too late
Everybody loves the chaos, babe
Oh-oh, spinning through the neon flames
Oh-oh, nobody leaves here unchanged
If madness is the price of fame
Then crown me queen of the crimson parade
⸻
[POST-CHORUS]
(Ah-ah-ah!)
踊れ!踊れ!
(Dance! Dance!)
(Ah-ah-ah!)
Scream my name tonight
(Ah-ah-ah!)
Crimson parade forever
⸻
[VERSE 2]
Glass confetti falling slow
Hidden scars begin to show
Every camera flash explodes
Like fireworks inside my soul
“Perfect idol,” that’s the lie
Watch me tear apart the sky
You want sweet? I’ll give you rage
Golden cage becomes my stage
⸻
[PRE-CHORUS]
Heartbeat louder than the drums
No escape for anyone
If the world’s a masquerade
Then I’ll burn down every stage
⸻
[CHORUS]
Welcome to the crimson parade
Where broken hearts get celebrated
Laugh too loud, cry too late
Everybody loves the chaos, babe
Oh-oh, spinning through the neon flames
Oh-oh, nobody leaves here unchanged
If madness is the price of fame
Then crown me queen of the crimson parade
⸻
[DANCE BREAK]
(Taiko drums + hyperpop synth explosion)
“Everybody scream!”
(— Tempo intensifies —)
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Running through the laser lights
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Monsters dancing every night
Left side! Right side!
Paint the darkness ultra bright
Jump high! Hands high!
Chaos turning into light
(Music suddenly cuts to eerie whisper)
“笑って…”
(Smile…)
(— MASSIVE DROP —)
Na-na-na-na!
Candy-colored apocalypse
Na-na-na-na!
Lipstick kisses, razor lips
Spin fast, don’t breathe
Feel the madness underneath
Red moon, black sky
We were born to never die
⸻
[FINAL CHORUS]
Welcome to the crimson parade
Where broken hearts get celebrated
Laugh too loud, cry too late
Everybody loves the chaos, babe
Oh-oh, spinning through the neon flames
Oh-oh, nobody leaves here unchanged
If madness is the price of fame
Then crown me queen of the crimson parade
⸻
[OUTRO]
(Music box returns, distorted and slowing down)
Tick… tock… tick… tock…
また会いましょう。
(We’ll meet again.)
(Static cuts out)🎭
