» 0:45 - The literal translation would be "the broken clock", but I decided to be creative and add in a reference: in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Time is not an "it", but a "he". After the Queen of Hearts claimed that the Mad Hatter is murdering Time when he performed a bad song, he got upset and punished the Hatter by staying perpetually at six o'clock, the Hatter's tea time, leaving him to forever be stuck in a never-ending tea party.
» 1:06 - Chess. That's literally all I have to say for that.
» 1:24 | 2:55 | 4:09 - 後ろ髪 is part an idiomatic expression (後ろ髪を引かれる) that means "to do something with painful reluctance". Literally, it means "the hair on the back of your neck".
» 2:20 - 気分 really means "mood", but my thought process went from "mood" to "state of mind" to "sanity is a state of mind", thus I worded 気分 as "sanity". I really tried to add in as much wonderland-like terms as I can (nervous laughter)
» 2:26 - I've never heard of "epicurean" ever before this, but the definition is "to have or indulge in luxurious and/or sensual pleasures". I'm assuming that in this context, it means "let yourself fall into your desire", but then again, I don't have full comprehension of the word, so take that how you will. Enstars lyricists keep on finding words I've never heard before, and I'm a fluent English speaker.
It's been so long since I last watched or read Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but I tried so hard on adding as many Wonderland (especially Mad Hatter-like) terms and references as I can. I wanted to make this as "riddlish" as I could while still being sensible (how contradicting), and it was so much fun finding the thin line between the two. There's a lot of references to the original story, too; how many can you catch? :)
