MARIONETTE Lyrics Translation – ROCK IN CITY band covers only Soundtrack
The poet crafts vivid lines like ‘Marionette in the mirror, cut away your tangled strings,’ urging listeners to break free from control. DEEN’s vocalist sings about a city sleeping in silence, swallowing lies, and the frustration of being a well-crafted cog. The lyrics question conformity and encourage dancing to one’s own rhythm.
Moteamashiteru frustration you’ve got an easy dayYou can’t handle the frustration, even though you’ve got an easy day.
Uso wo nomikomi shizuka ni nemutteru mad citySwallowing the lies, this mad city sleeps in silence.
Soshite itsudemo sou complainAnd yet you’re always complaining just the same,
You’ve got an easy day“You’ve got an easy day,”
Akiramegao no yoku dekita haguruma no you nilooking like a well-crafted cog with a face of resignation.
Yaketsuku hizashi ga oretachi kuruwaseruThe scorching sun is driving us all insane.
Daremo karemo mina oh no no same yeahEveryone and everything, oh no no, they’re all the same, yeah.
Utagau koto wo itsu kara yameta no saSince when did you stop questioning things?
Soroeta neiru ja oh no no totemo neraenai zeYou’ll never hit your mark with those perfectly manicured nails.

Kagami no naka no marionetto ayatsuru ito wo tachikitteMarionette in the mirror, sever the strings that control you.
Kagami no naka no marionetto jibun no tame ni odorinaMarionette in the mirror, dance for your own sake.
Me wo sorasu na yo complication you’ve got an easy dayDon’t look away from the complication, you’ve got an easy day.
Yogorechimatte yasashisa mo nakushita bamboozleYou’ve been corrupted and lost your kindness, it’s a total bamboozle.
Nagasareru mama occupation you’ve got an easy dayDrifting along in your occupation, you’ve got an easy day.
Shibonda mama de gomakasu you ni ikiru no kaAre you going to live your whole life withered away, just faking it?

Daremo karemo mina oh no no shame yeahEveryone and everything, oh no no, it’s a shame, yeah.
Ijikeru koto ni itsu kara nareta no saSince when did you get so used to cowering in fear?
