There are two versions of this song’s lyrics. The original cut from 2007 (dazzle) is in Japanese, and the 2010 version (DAZZLE) is reworked for English. Both are included below.
Hazuki explains this song in UNDERNEATH_FILES VOL. 3:
“Hazuki: This song has more of a message compared to the others. I first wrote something that makes it clear, and when I wondered if just recording it as is would get things across, that’s what we did.
Interviewer: Are the lyrics ironic, or…?
H: There’s a lot of shady old fucks out there. (laugh)
I: So it’s directed to men like that. Seems like you might make enemies.
H: Yeah, well, guys like that never think it’s about them.
I: Oh, I see. (laugh)
H: They think, surely it couldn’t be me.
I: I get it.
H: Although it just might be that guy.
I: You’re saying it’s directed at someone.
H: These are my inner thoughts.
DAZZLE (2010)
music & lyrics / Hazuki
Get out of my face with all your disgrace
suffocating me
All you really are is simple minded
What you gonna tell me now?
Show me the truth tell me no lies
Head so full of greed
Lick these shoes you dirty man
Now show me what you really are
An artificial manufactured charizmatic man
Are you so special if your singing my eardrums start to bleed
No thank you I just hate this
Spit it all out spit your future Become heretic
If this is what you’ve all been waited for
We’ll show you what you want to see
dazzle (2007)
music & lyrics / Hazuki
take off that dazzling mask and you can no longer breathe
train of thought on the same level as a sperm cell, what the fuck are you talking about
show me what’s behind the mask, show me your tongue, you want money?
lick my boots, dirty man, it suits you fucking perfectly
gaudy charisma manufactured by someone else
you think you’re someone because you can sing? feels like my eardrums are rotting
No thank you, I just a hate this.
spit out saliva, spit out your future, become heretic
if this is what you want to see, then we’ll fucking show you
