This song is probably why I thought so highly of Sadomasochism at one point. All of the songs are good, and then there’s this song (and Loop) and BAM suddenly I thought this was サリー’s best album. It’s still really good, though.
There are a lot more Photoshop metaphors here than for word processors, so the choice of calling the song “New Text Document” must be some kind of satire, haha. Beyond that, I can’t really grasp any deeper meaning in the song…
Song: 新規テキストドキュメント
———> Shinki Text Document
———> New Text Document
Artist: NSY ft. IZNA
Circle: サリー
———> Sally
Release: サドマゾヒズム
———> Sadomasochism
Key: Original Lyrics; Romaji; Translation
NOTES: さぁ手の鳴る方へ = There’s a lot of clapping samples in this song.
何度でも変幻自在 = lit. “Any number of times I can change my appearance.” Another useful word is “Phantasmagoria,” whose second definition “Fantastic imagery as represented in art” paints a pretty vivid description of the abilities of the singer.
憤ってる = むずかる is “to fret,” so I’ve translated the line to “shaking.”
_______________________________________________________________
一人身に沁みてる
是が搭載された本能
丁度頃見計らって
鬼さん さぁ手の鳴る方へ
hitori mi ni shimiteru
kore ga tousaisareta honnou
choudo koro mihakaratte
onisan saa te no naru hou he
When it penetrated my body
This came equip with instinctual commands
At precisely the right time, I choose for myself
Now, Demon, show me where those hands resound
湧き上がる白い彷彿 鈍る感度
何度でも変幻自在 どうぞお好みで
wakiagaru shiroi houfutsu niburu kando
nando demo hengenjizai douzo okonomi de
Seething from a vivid white reminder of the past, my senses dull
I can change my appearance as many times as necessary
By all means, choose your preference
あなたと憤ってる私が
このままじゃシンクロして
帰れない既成事実無くして
嘘なんて所詮あなたが描く辻褄
ピクセルの大集合体
anata to muzukatteru atashi ga
kono mama ja shinkuro shite
kaerenai kiseijijitsu nakushite
uso nante shosen anata ga egaku tsujitsuma
pikuseru no daishuugoutai
Though I can’t stop shaking, you and I
At this point will synchronize
There’s no way back; it’s a done deal
After all, you’ve painted your lies so consistently
A large assembly of pixels
鳥渡精査気味みたい
巧くマスクをあしらって
集えうら若き身に
鬼さん ほらこっちへ御出で
chotto seisa gimi mitai
umaku masuku wo ashiratte
tsudoe ura wakaki mi ni
onisan hora kocchi he oide
Wait a minute, I want to take a closer look
At this skillfully arranged mask
Behind the scenes we meet and find a young body
Look, Demon, it’s coming from here
解けない縛り上げた手首に
絡まった邪悪な意図
眺めていた磨りガラスの向こうに
思い出すあなたがくれた唯一のセリフ
持ち合わせてる筈だった
hodokenai shibariageta tekubi ni
karamatta jaaku na ito
nagameteita surigarasu no mukou ni
omoidasu anata ga kureta yuitsu no serifu
mochiawaseteru hazu datta
These restraints on my wrists can’t be loosened
Placed by your wicked intentions
I turned to face the frosted glass
And remember when you gave the only speech
You could’ve had
もう此れ以上
本当か嘘かも分からない儘
試される欲深き愛情
渦巻く憎悪
mou kore ijou
hontou ka uso kamo wakaranai mama
tamesareru yoku fukakiaijou
uzumaku zouo
This is already more than
Truths and lies, but I still don’t understand even that
Testing my cravings for your affections
In this swirling hatred
あと何度重なってくレイヤー
新しく繰り返すの?
ato nando kasanatteku reiyaa
atarashiku kurikaesu no
How many layers will you accumulate?
Don’t you want to start over anew?
帰さない既成事実無くして
愛なんて所詮私が描く幻
ピクセルの大集合体
kaesanai kiseijijitsu nakushite
ai nante shosen atashi ga egaku maboroshi
pikuseru no daishuugoutai
I can’t send you back; it’s a done deal
After all, these illusions of love were painted by me
From a large assembly of pixels
