Lyrics [they include a bracketed version of text to explain the lyrical meaning, since it's written in a bit of an older style]

赤く 喰らい込みその火蛾　　飽かずも逝き遅る
（赤い炎に捕らわれた蛾　　満足したわけもなく死に残る）
Caught within the red flames, the moth dies without necessarily being content with life.

黒く 爛らかしその彼我　　虚く宿命だと謂う
（黒く爛れたあたしとお前　　気が抜けたような宿命だったわね）
Blacked to a crisp, you and I, our destiny seems to have lost its will.

見え透いた諦め　　腐り始めた眼差
（見え透いた諦め　　腐り始めた眼差）
Giving up is so apparent, our perceptions begin to corrode.

あたしという　　矜持を否む
（あたしという　　存在の誇りを否定して）
Rejecting my existence, my honour, me.

紛う 愛しみ僻歌　　行き失す定けし瞬時
（入り乱れてもうわからない 可愛らしい僻歌　　行方も分からない確実な今という瞬間）
So complex nobody understands any more, the cute song. Where will the concrete present go, to become the unknown future.

赤く 喰らい込みその彼我　　飽かずも逝き遅る
（赤い炎に嵌り込んだあたしとお前　　満足したわけもなく死に残る）
Red flames enveloping you and I, dying without necessarily being content with life.

黒く 爛らかしその火蛾　　虚く運命だと謂う
（黒く爛れ焼けた蛾　　むなしいうつろな運命だったわね）
The moth blackened to a crisp, such an unfortunate fate.

今 君を捨て行こうか　　君さえ存在しなければ
（今 君を捨てて行くわ　　君の存在さえなかったならば）
Let me leave you behind, if only you had never existed.

独り 憶ってくれればいい　　失いたあたしを嗤って
（独り 思い出してくれればいい　　泣いて自分を失ったあたしを嘲笑ってくれたらいい）
Alone, just remember me. Smile for me, I, who cried and lost myself.

君とはぐれて 遠く
（今 君とはぐれて遠くへ）
Now, I'm lost and far away.

ただ独り 憂いてくれればいい　　微笑って
（ただ独り憂い想ってくれればいい　　微笑みながら）
Alone, just anxiously think of me, while smiling.

[Additional Commentary]
大臣さん主催の音楽中心コミニティイベント”Celestia”投稿曲です。
未熟ながら参加させていただきます。
This is my submission to Daijin's community music event, "Celestia". I'm still an amatuer, but it's an honour to be involved.

初めましてこんにちは。サークル代表の岬です。
音楽集団「Victy」としては初のイベント参加、Web上発表曲になりますんで、
編曲担当の僕としては思い入れの強いこの曲をセレクトさせていただきました。
Hello everyone, I'm Circle's representative, Misaki. This is the first event our music group "Victy" has officially participated in, so this is kind of a debut for our song. As the chief editor [for our group] for this online event, I chose this song for it's powerful impression.

POP調であり若干ROCKを意識しつつもGuitarはなかったり、みたいなコンセプトで（何
聞かせどころはやはり後半のボーカルの掛け合いですね。
どうぞLiarの美声をご堪能くださいませ。
ちなみにタイトルは”ひがうた”と読みます、はい。
It's kind of a Pop-Rock mix with the Guitar, or at least the concept was, the second half was mostly just vocals.. Check out Liar's beautiful voice! And yes, the song title is pronounced "Higauta".

ダウンロードありがとうございました。
最後まで聞いていただけたらとっても嬉しいです。
そして、このCelestiaというイベントの場を作ってきた
大臣さんをはじめとする運営者の皆さん、参加者の皆さん、リスナーの皆さん、
ありがとうございました。これからも盛り上げていきましょう。
