inflation

Requested by Debora, Tamusic lyrics are pretty hard to find. I’m generally distrustful of using the Touhou wiki as my only source as well, since there’s usually at least one mistake.
As for lyric interpretation, keep in mind that the original song is heard in Hell.

何処にいるのかも知らず
欲望に囚われた
辿り着くことは出来ず
その身を焦がして堕ちてゆく

doko ni iru no ka mo shirazu
yokubou ni torawareta
tadori tsuku koto wa dekizu
sono mi o kogashite ochite yuku

Not even knowing where you are
you were caught in desire
Being unable to make it
your body will fall, in agony

教えを請うもの 拒みはしない
最果てで 狂いながら

oshie o kou mono kobami wa shinai
saihate de kuruinagara

I won’t reject those who beg for teaching
while going mad at the furthest ends

グルグル 定まらず 自分を失くして
坊径い 帰れない一人の旅人
バラバラ 崩れてく 目の前幻
何処まで行けばいい? 答えのないまま

guruguru sadamarazu jibun o nakushite
samayoi kaerenai hitori no tabibito
barabara kuzurete ku me no mae maboroshi
doko made yukeba ii? kotae no nai mama

Round and round, undecided, losing yourself
Wandering, the lone traveller unable to return
Piece into piece crumbling, illusions before your eyes
How far should you go? There remains no answer

浮世離れして それでいいよと
信じてるモノが あるよ

ukiyobanare shite sore de ii yo to
shinjiteru mono ga aru yo

There are those who believe they’re fine
being free from worldliness

グルグル 廻り出す言葉を噛み締め
自分が望むもの それさえ曖昧
バラバラ気付かずに 元には戻れず
それすら信仰と崇めて消えてく

guruguru mawari dasu kotoba o kami shime
jibun ga nozomu mono sore sae aimai
barabara kidzukazu ni moto ni wa modorezu
sore sura shinkou to agamete kiete ku

Round and round, biting down on rotating words
What one desires, even that is vague
Piece into piece, not realizing, unable to go back to normal
Even those revering faith, fade away

その身を焦がしてく それすら気付かず
夢見た姿には未だに還くて

sono mi o kogashite ku sore sura kidzukazu
yume mita sugata ni wa imada ni tookute

Not even noticing that your body is in agony
you’re still far from the form you dreamt of
