SLUDGY CULT Translation

A translation of the GazettE’s “SLUDGY CULT” from their studio album “TOXIC”. This song fights back at religion and calls out the destructive attitudes and ideals of religious adherents.

Satanic play 病的な図式
噛み付く姿勢あれど
首輪外せぬTimid baby
退廃的楽園の闇で
Unsatisfactory double suicide
Satanic play byouteki na zushiki
Kamitsuku shisei aredo
Kubiwa hazusenu Timid baby
Taihaiteki rakuen no yami de
Unsatisfactory double suicide
Satanic play, an abnormal scheme.
I'm posed and ready to bite you,
You're a timid baby that won't take off my choker.
In the darkness of this degenerate paradise, there's
Unsatisfactory double suicide

 

まとわりついた感情に雁字搦めの犬
塗り合う罪と忠誠心

Matowaritsuita kanjou ni ganjigarame no inu
Mazariau tsumi to chuuseishin
Nani mo umaranu Backstair gossip
I'm a dog bound hand and foot by your coiling sentiments,
Your mixed sins and loyalties.
Nothing is made from backstair gossip!

They should just fall to pieces!
Abandon an ideal¹

Notes
1. I believe that this section is meant to be a quotation of an attitude/ideal that Ruki thinks should be abandoned; that is, the idea that if someone is not part of your religion, they should just “go to hell” or they should “die” or “fall to pieces”. Unfortunately, this is in fact a rampant ideal to overly-strict adherents in many religions (go watch the news). At any rate, for it to make the best sense, this stanza should be written “If others won't join in, / They should just fall to pieces! / Abandon this ideal” complete with quotation marks, but since there are no original quotations, I left it as-is.
