Lyrics

Romanized transcription pending
“Perhaps she...is my Elys...”


We fit each other, right?
With this, we're a match made in heaven, right?...ah, pure bliss...

StarDust

Women aren't simply mute, adorable《dolls》
-my dear, do you understand?

We aren't tools to satisfy your miniscule ego[thing]
-does the moonlit night's《split personality》[another] do as it pleases?

Even if hands I hold my hands around your neck, that doesn't mean I’ll tighten their grip
-did the moon[Luna] drive you mad?

But I can't help it, can I? Since I've fallen in love
-why did the star[stella] drive me mad?

Scarlet dress, scarlet heels
Scarlet lipstick[rouge], scarlet roses
All men who pass by throw me a second glance...
A bouquet of flowers in my left hand, a promise held in my right, I cannot stop my impulse now that it has taken off...

We fit each other, right?
With this, we're a match made in heaven...ah, pure bliss...
Your white shirt is a brilliant shade of scarlet now

We fit each other, right?
With this, we're a match made in heaven...ah, pure bliss...

“...I wouldn't mind being its dust, if it means I can become a star one day...am I shining? Hey, am I shining?”

“What a beautiful starry sky” ...sighs the bewitching woman
“You are more beautiful” ...whispers the romantic man

Lovers who look up at the night sky, a far too common scene
Patterns of love repeated...they are but trivial things

Believing those capricious instants of time to be eternity
Believing such unstable things to be destiny
They cried. They laughed. They loved. They hated.
In that short-lived amount of time, thinking of the lights of a distant past

Have those stars been destroyed already?
Or are they still shining brightly towards their own destruction?
Under the incredible measurement of light-years
Human lifetime may be nothing but a transient illusion

-they are simply trifles. However, even if it's by coincidence...
Ah...even if it's by coincidence, she saw...
The two of them walking happily side by side, wearing matching white clothing
He and an unfamiliar woman...

We fit each other, right?
With this, we're a match made in heaven...ah, pure bliss...
Your white shirt is now-

“Why...why...WHYYYYYYY-!!”

Touched by oxygen, scarlet eventually turns into black and shows
The fact that the two of them will never become one...

Frozen stars of silvery azure, sparkles of destruction gone up in flames
Dreaming of a lost paradise...guide me,《phantom lights of StarDust》[The light of stardust]

As long as she cannot bury her feelings as past lights
The lonely phantom shall continue to wander the field
The woman's hand was too short to reach the stardust, sadly
Ah...the one who grabbed back her hand was the 『masked man』...
