| 1 女々しい (memeshii), as evident from its kanji, is an unpleasantly gendered term. I've maintained this in translation. |

| 2 生き急いで is the standard spelling, "living as if one were trying to rush through their limited lifespan". Eve has spelled it 息急いで, using the kanji for "breath". |
| 3 The lyrics spell this 真実 (しんじつ, truth/reality), but it's sung きたい. I assumed 期待 here. |
| 4 The lyrics spell this 死海, the Dead Sea. The homophone that first comes to mind, especially with 見えない later in the line, is 視界 - field of vision. |
