I've been wanting to do something like this for a while, now. Since the original version doesn't have much going for it in terms of... actual lyrics, I had to improvise a bit.

I hope you enjoy either way!

--- LYRICS ---
Toluene... C7H8... ****...
トルエン... C7H8... ****...

When the light spreads upon the scene,
you're forever trapped inside a dream.
Never knowing just what it all means.
Endlessly searching for the light gleam.

What's the best way to tell a lie,
when it's all crumbling in your eyes?
We all swear we never see ourselves,
but then what's the point of Toluene?

C7H8... ****...
トルエン... C7H8... ****...

Is there a meaning to this song here at all?
The meaning to this song is now, ooh-ooh-ooooh...
Is there a meaning to this song here at all?
The meaning to this song is now...
here at last!

Never building up, all must crumble someday.
Try to find yourself, end up breaking away.
When the light shines, you end up running away,
sadness eternally, it all ends one day.

Forever searching, you begin to cry.
Tirelessly wondering, end up wondering why,
why would the world tirelessly lie?
Forever wanting to know until you die.

Never make yourself useful to the world,
everything doesn't end as it should, but
why do the people claim that they would?
Even if they didn't, even if they could?

What would they have ended up with, and
what would they have begun to realize?
Would they have emotions deep down inside,
would they have shown true fear in their eyes?

Toluene is a song of riddle-solving.
Forever a way to end up never knowing.
When the meaning of the song is finally known,
what sort of face will you start to grow?
