Translation on GAUZE-62045-	Translation on photo cards
Covered in saliva, The body looks pale. Sticking to my sight, What I see is a twisted brutal picture. It began to decay pitilessly, The short life is whirling. My last my memories is You smiling… Die. PSYCHO I'm twisted and wondering. PSYCHO I'm still brutal. PSYCHO I'm twisted and wondering. PSYCHO I'm still brutal. PSYCHO PASTTRAP PSYCHO PASTTRIP by… DEATH TRAP	moist with saliva body veiled with a white shade of pale clinging to the view is a distorted picture of torture hopelessly rotting in vain short lives dancing the memory of my very last glimpse was you smiling death to thee PSYCHO - get distorted in the whirl PSYCHO - still remained merciless PSYCHO - get distorted in the whirl PSYCHO - still remained merciless PSYCHO PASTTRAP PSYCHO PASTTRIP by… DEATH TRAP

Trivia

• This song was often extended during live shows. The longest was 42 minutes, according to an interview in Haiiro no Ginka #52.

Title

• This song was initially called 新曲1 (Shinkyoku 1) ("New Song 1") during Dir En Grey's indies days in 1997–98. Out of all indies songs, it kept its provisional name the longest, from May 1997 to October 1998. You can listen to the May 31, 1997, performance of the song here.
• In an interview on bayfm OVER HEAT DX, Kyo jokingly introduces the remix as もうこりごり (Mō Korigori) and もうさんざん (Mō Sanzan). Both means something along the lines of "I'm done" or "I've had enough".

Lyrics

• On the photo cards of Dir En Grey's three debut singles, fragments of an alternative translation of this song's lyrics can be found.
• In the album band score's sheet lyrics, the last kanji in the first verse (残酷絵) are read as ざんこくえ (zankoku-e), which is their correct reading. However, Kyo audibly sings げんじつえ (genjitsu-e).
  • Likewise, the reading for the kanji 最後 (saigo) is mistakenly given as さご (sago).
• While the sheet lyrics give no reading for the word "PSYCHO", which is usually read as サイコ (saiko), it is given as サイト (saito) in a facts check published in BAZOOKA sys.2.
