A night dance, a pack of wild beasts
Chasing ecstasy, drowning in thrill
The mask of morality worn in daylight
Slowly fades away in the dark
This is our world
Dissolving at dawn
Where beasts live in shadows and roam
This is our world
It is easy to hate
If there is no darkness, what is light?
Dancing through the night
Sleeping through the day
Sleeping through the day
Dancing through the night
At the end, at the end
A new beginning starts
When opposite poles
Meet, it turns sweet
To prepare and to taste
Dark honey flows
When lips unite
Everything falls quiet
Trapping the scent of fire
My heart is just cotton
Lighting it ablaze like a spark, hey hey
Swaying here and there
A five-foot magical mango
Stirring up my thoughts
A drumming rhythm in the crowing rooster
The hunter who sought deer-like eyes
Dances intoxicated in her gaze
A racehorse in a round pool
Leaps upon spotting a tiny red bead
She is a princess of the heavenly realm
A queen of eyes casting magic spells
The king's mind gets intoxicated
Resting in the lap of the graceful woman
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night
Sleeping through the day
Sleeping through the day
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night
Sleeping through the day
Sleeping through the day
Dancing through the night
Sleeping through the day
Sleeping through the day
Dancing through the night
Dancing through the night
Sleeping through the day
Sleeping through the day
A night dance
Sleeping through the day
This is our world
Our world
A night dance
A night dance
A night dance
At the end, end, end, at the end
At the end, at the end
A new beginning starts
When opposite poles
Meet, it turns sweet
To prepare and to taste
Dark honey flows
When lips unite
Everything falls quiet
This is our world
Dissolving at dawn
Where beasts live in shadows and roam
This is our world
It is easy to hate
If there is no darkness, what is light?
This is our world
Dissolving at dawn
Where beasts live in shadows and roam
This is our world
It is easy to hate
If there is no darkness, what is light?

Beyond the translation
Overall song meaning
The song explores the nocturnal nightlife of individuals living on the fringes of societal norms, wearing a mask of righteousness during the daytime while shedding all inhibitions at night. It paints a picture of indulgence, intoxication, and primal desires, questioning societal hypocrisy by asking how light can exist or be appreciated without the presence of darkness.
