Zetsubou Restaurant (Despair Restaurant)

(I always loved the French feel to this song. NO idea why the text is highlighted, I can't unhighlight it either.)

Zetsubou Restaurant
Tanii Asuka, Sanada Asami, Gotou Yuuko, and Matsuki Miyu




If you are full of regret and deepest sadness

Turn the corner and find your pure bliss
The remodeled restaurant's grand opening

Don't be so hasty, stop right by the booth, there's fine dust covering your shoulder
Now just cast aside your dull, boring life, please forget all the words that were said
Come right in and wipe your shoes on the mat  

Hot, living flesh is our special, cooked 'til it's blue, tasty heart dish
(Hot, living flesh is our special cooked 'til it's blue, tasty heart, ah...)
You can tell that I've cleverly matched in your dish
Poison and lies into fine spices that your habits have grinded

Pierce away the futile sadness, knives, forks, and spoons, to stab the sad times
(Here at the Despair Restaurant, knives, forks, and spoons, to stab the sad)
It's fine with me if you throw away the bad things, since it's you who pulls the strings
(Since it's you who pulls the strings)
Have you resolved all of your problems?
(Savory grief in drying lips)
We'll find happiness with our mouths full of wonder
Again, this day next week, smiling and waving hand, I will show
That I'm only cash that's good for one night

Deep in the darkness, we've made an escape, for you to indulge your whole self in
Going back-and-forth, I'll bring you the sides, so you will have a new place to hide
If you'd rather dance with me, just go ahead

By the time that morning arrives the candle's already faded, so
(By the time that morning arrives the candle's already faded, ah...)
The menu's right there on your own table, pick it up
Evil, rhythms, and deepest sorrow have entangled each other

In tonight's check it's all-you-can-eat, you can have whatever you desire
(Here at the Despair Restaurant you can have whatever you like)
Tear through what's delicious, greedy and gluttonous, just like a spoiled, rotten king
(Just like a spoiled, rotten king)
Burned to the core and made with passion
(Terrible hate in drying lips)
It's a buffet for your heart that has been starving
And again next weekend I'll be in the mask you love and I'll go on

Despair restaurant
Despair restaurant
Despair restaurant
Despair restaurant
Despair restaurant
Despair restaurant
Despair restaurant
May I please have the bill?

This is all accidents and satisfied needs crossing together in this life
(All accidents and satisfied needs crossing together)
If you enjoyed it then those people are the ones who are living in their own vain

Have you resolved all of your problems?
(Savory grief in drying lips)
We'll find happiness with our mouths full of wonder
Again, this day next week, smiling and waving hand, I will show
I'm a melting 'dead to you' chocolate, right?

Magia

(I'd hate watching Puella Magi on LSD.)

Magia
Kalafina




Someday the light of love created from the magic drifting throughout your eyes
Will cut through space and time
Certainly destroying the twirling abstract nightmares spinning around our whole world
Dreams falling to pieces

Hesitate some more, then open the door
What is it that you've always wanted to have? Forever
Whatever greedy longings that you have
Now that you have taken this path will they end the tomorrow?

As a child I imagined something was there
Like an ancient light magic from history
Even the hazy darkness will be crushed and
Then I'll see you find a magic smile
In these shaking hands that I hold in front of me
Is a dead rotten flower of bravery
Only my feelings are what I rely on
Wake up the light hidden inside you
Make a wish

Someday the light of tears coming from a sad one's eyes will make you want the power
To make all happiness
The dark love in my heart heard the subtle and smooth words deep in the night's black embrace
And was reborn again

If it puzzles you, makes you want to cry
It's alright to break your heart into pieces when you want
The sadness I see always in those eyes
To take away all of the pain  I want a magical spell

You still see memories in your winding dreams
I at least want to see this new tomorrow
The two of us meeting was a miracle
Go straight ahead and win this fierce battle
In these shaking hands that I hold in front of me
Is a dead rotten flower with sharp petals
Only my feelings are what I find strength on
Show us your heart, shout to the sky and
Make a wish

I was fascinated by all of these shining suns
I loved the wonderful peaceful countries I read about in books
This echoing wish will surely come true
Since that's what the fairy-tales always say
And I believe
(Even in the light and shadowy dreams)

Quietly bloom into a new creature
Like an ancient light magic of kindness
'Now all the bleak suffering will be crushed by'
'The power in those pale hands', your voice whispers
Look at these eternal dreams of the whole world
With new wings fly on into the midst of time
Only my feelings are what I find strength on
Create new life, a new fairy-tale
Make a wish
