oh my god where to start. the godly instrumental. the callbacks to ghost rule and hibana. the lovely lovely art. the most amazing wordplay found in any song in the entirety of the world. THE TOXICITY OF THE RELATIONSHIP!! legitimately this is a perfect song and I can't imagine any other song as the titular track of deco-sama's 7th album.
that said, it was a bitch to write lyrics for.
i shudder thinking how much i cross consulted thesauruses and rhyming dictionaries alike in finding the perfect words for the verses. a big part of what makes the lyrics special is the homophonic wordplay in the choruses and i attempted my best shot at them. although maybe i only hit 70% of it if i'm being honest, i think they're some of my best lyrics to date.
thank you so much to david toth for attempting to tackle "anddedo arisu he". ultimately i didn't use any of his suggestions but he is masterful at syntax and his examples helped me tremendously in the final line.
happy holidays, and if i don't see you on stream or something, have a happy new year from my family to yours! take care, stay safe, love you all.

✻ Lyrics ✻ (Feel free to use!)
undead, dear alice darling
“you wanna die, and yet you can’t - so why
don’t you just feed on me so you can stay alive”
the both of us are the only sane ones here
although your voice is heard by people far and near
i wanna hurt myself and ask you how
i breathe in happiness and breathe out poison clouds
a perfect junkie hooked on big ideals
isn’t it great that we’re the only sane ones here?
wanna see you but i don’t really want to
but not seeing you puts me in a bad mood
conflicting emotions click
this is really torture
lately i’ve been hating all these butterflies
so i’m asking you nicely to die before i
i kill you myself
so live your life out, it’s fine to cry out
be free to break it, and be afraid ‘cuz
this love is weak, so let’s just bury it deep
forget it happened, laugh and stop - we’re getting too deep
it’s way too easy to hate, you see
you weigh me down with love but that’s the way we’ll always be
for your smile that’s vanishing
undead, dear alice darling
it’s as i thought, the more i chase my dreams
the more the thought of you starts breaking at the seams
endurance, sacrifice, it’s all the same
turning you gently with these hands so full of stains
i tried so hard to keep you good and free
but it just made you break up even more it seems
this love’s a frozen moment kept in time
“turn up the heat” i say, this is the hundredth time
wanna be good baked in every instinct
wanna be bad is basting in its own sick
conflicting emotions click
this is really torture
lately i’ve been living out a white lie
so i’m asking you nicely can i die before i
i murder myself
so live your life out, it’s fine to cry out
be free to break it, and be afraid ‘cuz
this love is weak, so let’s just bury it deep
forget it happened, laugh and stop - we’re getting too deep
it’s way too easy to hate, you see
you weigh me down with love but that’s the way we’ll always be
for your smile that’s vanishing
undead, dear alice darling
i thought that we could stay
forever in this dream we saw together
but it was all in vain
when i can’t call your smile to mind, i can’t remember
it’d be a lie to say
that this could all be over if we just restart
ah, this is such a pain
[it’d] be better if you sliced open my chest and crushed my heart
so live your life out, it’s fine to cry out
be free to break it, and be afraid ‘cuz
this love is weak, so let’s just bury it deep
forget it happened, laugh and stop - we’re getting too deep
it’s way too easy to hate, you see
you weigh me down with love but that’s the way we’ll always be
for your smile that’s vanishing
undead, dear alice, be -
it’s all the same to me!!
this pain is awful but i won’t just die from it
our time is over but i won’t give up just yet
the shame is making “sorry” harder to say
but even “we’ll look back this way and laugh at it all one day”
is wrong, it’s not right. so which is right?
is it belief or grief that is keeping you alive?
for your smile that’s vanishing
undead, dear alice darling
