GHOST FOOD [GHOST FOOD] [English translation]

This six-tatami room, my castle1

A secret place nobody can enter (Yeah)

"You only live once" is the password2

Just knock before entering

Or else there's going to be a bad ending

Ghost Food

We'll never meet in real life

Online is more comfortable

But I've got no interest in what others have to say

So I just nod and smile

Making up lies is such a bother

So I'm honest for the most part

An empty box of sweets, perfume of deceit

Just what was my real name again?

That cute girl is mostly manufactured

The background is distorted

These inorganic substances would never betray

So my viewing history is full of anime

I don't want to put on weight but exercising is tiresome

I have ice cream for dinner 3

Expensive soda from dusk to dawn

Or so the purple bunny sings

This six-tatami room, my castle

A secret place nobody can enter (Yeah)

It sounds cheap when you say it out loud

So it's a spell to be chanted inside

This six-tatami room, my castle

A secret place nobody can enter

It sounds cheap when you say it out loud

So it's a spell to be chanted inside

F-O-O-D

There aren't enough sweet words in my head

I'm sure this is how I was destined to be

Being gray,

Being quiet,

Speaking little is the way to go

Getting better at just making excuses

Time with nothing in it is passing by

Pretending to really notice

When you actually don't notice at all

One-way ticket for embarking on the loop line

This corroded noisy state of mind

Being gray,

Being quiet,

Speaking little is the way to go

Getting better at just making excuses

The poison gradually turns into a wedge4

Pretending to really notice

When you actually don't notice at all

This six-tatami room, my castle

A secret place nobody can enter (Yeah)

It sounds cheap when you say it out loud

This six-tatami room, my castle

A secret place nobody can enter

It sounds cheap when you say it out loud

So it's a spell to be chanted inside

1. 畳, pronounced "jou" rather than "tatami", is a measure of room size in tatami mats (tatami is also spelled 畳).2. 合言葉 (aikotoba) can also mean "motto", but I think "password" (as in a countersign to verify that someone's an ally) fits the text better.3. lit. "ice cream instead of rice". ごはん (gohan) is cooked rice, and by extension any meal of the day.4. I could swear this word was 薬 (kusuri = medicine) when I heard it, but the official lyrics say 楔 (kusabi = wedge)
