Glay: Brothel Creepers

04.03.16
Artist: Glay
Title: Brothel Creepers
Words: Hisashi/Takuro
Music: Hisashi

with a range cursed with inflamed earthly desires *1
I place a spell on the livestock with a Mephistophelean flare
It sounded to me just like
"thou shalt worship thy lord, in crisis to offer thy limbs,
thy hunger as a sacrifice."

that's why I clench my hands around the neck of the guitar
laying right next to me,
and feel the cold aluminum with uncertainty.

the signal of the half moon promises to carry out *2
the cry of a single cylinder, the night that proves something about me

that's why I clench my hands around the neck of the guitar
laying right next to me,
and feel the cold aluminum with uncertainty.
that's why I clench my hands around the neck of the guitar
laying right next to me,
and flung up that hunk of metal towards the half moon. *3

we are, that is to say,
the delicate spokesman for maturity with nothing to say
you are, that is to say,
the kings of your pointless endless everyday lives.

the spacious deep red sea, the liberated instinct of the fish
the night of the halfmoon shines upon the breathtaking red sea
that's why I clench my hands around the neck of the guitar
laying right next to me,
and feel the cold aluminum with uncertainty.

we are, that is to say,
the delicate spokesman for maturity with nothing to say
you are, that is to say,
the kings of your pointless endless everyday lives.

Translator's Notes: The title of this song 'Brothel Creepers' comes from a type of Men's crepe souled shoes popular in the 50's and 60's. On to the *'s.
* 1 - We're pretty sure this refers to musical range. The sentence is poetically describing a very high metallic sound.

* 2 - Honestly... we have no idea what this is talking about. If you have any clue we'd love to know. Is it like the Bat Signal? When a half moon shows in the sky, does Hisashi run off to liberate with his righteuous tunes? My best guess is it's something they used in a concert.

* 3 - When he says "flung" think rock guitar motions. Where he swings his guitar wildly.

* Bonus - We've added what we think Teru sings during the pre chorus bridge in ( )'s. It is in no way official.
