 崩壊の引数 (Houkai no Hikisuu) - Argument of Destruction - Romaji and Translation

The continuation of questioning reality... and finally finding the answer to the puzzle. The key to breaking the utopia program was to realise that the people still possessed intelligence, which is a key to help them realise they are being used as slaves. The fatal flaw is thus basically "not removing intelligence while completely taking control over the person so they can be told the truth of reality (Alisia)".

The song is a nice contrast to the previous one. The composition really embodies the theme of destruction. A slow, dragging song, in comparison to an upbeat climax.

仄暗い影 闇の中でただ
繰り返す 《定常処理》は

honogurai kage yami no naka de tada
kurikaesu "ruchinwaaku" wa

Dim shadows in the darkness,
they just repeat "routine work (the regular process)"


意味のある 感情にさえ
蓋をして消した

imi no aru kanjou ni sae
futa wo shite keshita

Even meaningless emotions
are covered up and erased


作られた奴隷《理想郷計画》はただ
付加された 知能があり

tsukurareta dorei "program" wa tada
fukasareta chinou ga ari

The slaves created by "the program (Utopia)" have been annexed, but do possess intelligence


その中で 導いた解
『欠陥があった』

sono naka de michibiita kai
'kekkan ga atta'

And in that, lies my solution
'it was flawed'


《電脳対象》に隠された 希望
裏をかき《防衛欠陥》を残す
引数は《現実》

"object" ni kakusareta kibou
ura wo kaki "ana" wo nokosu
hikisuu wa "Alisia"

The hope hidden in the 'object (computer object)'
left a 'hole (flaw in the defence)' in the back
The argument is "Alisia (reality)"


待ち続けた『崩壊』は
狂気さえ美しくて

(aa) machitsudzuketa 'houkai' wa
kyouki sae utsukushikute

Ahhh the 'collapse' I have been waiting for
Even the madness is beautiful


どこまでも 上書きされた『未来』
目を閉じて 今眠りについた

doko made mo uwagakisareta 'mirai'
me wo tojite ima nemuri ni tsuita

The 'future' has been rewritten, everywhere
I closed my eyes and fell asleep.
