This is a long post, so be aware.
街明かり 華やか
エーテル麻酔 の 冷たさ
眠れない 午前二時
全てが 急速に変わる
まち = town/street/city
あかり = light
はなやか = brilliant, bright, showy
So, the first line would be "Brilliant street lights" or "The street lights are bright".
エーテル = ether
ますい = anesthesia
の = possessive; indicates that the noun previously mentioned owns/possesses what comes after the "no".
つめたさ = coldness (like つめたい, except changed into noun form by adding "sa" onto the end)
We have "ether anesthesia" at the beginning. What's connected to that with the possessive "no"? The coldness. So: "The coldness of ether anesthesia."
ねむれない = to be unable to sleep/cannot sleep
ごぜん = A.M.
にじ = 2 o'clock (lit. 2 hour)
In Japanese, you don't have to say "I" at the beginning of each sentence--sometimes it's just assumed. She COULD be talking about another person, but for now we'll assume it's in first person, making the first part "I cannot sleep" and then adding "2 AM" onto the last part.
すべて = everything
きゅうそく = rapid
かわる = to change
Japanese is a SOV language, while English is SVO, so the verb always comes at the end of the sentence. We can kind of guess by the words around it what the whole sentence is supposed to mean.
Here に, a locator particle, is used to describe HOW the verb happens, if that makes any sense. 全てが変わる。Everything changes. How does everything change? 全てがきゅうそくに変わる。It changes RAPIDLY. So I would translate this last part as "everything changes rapidly".
Finally we bring it all together:
Brilliant street lights
The coldness of ether anesthesia
I can't sleep, it's two A.M.
Everything is changing rapidly
and then move onto the next one.
オイル切れのライター
焼けつくような胃の中
全てがそう嘘なら 本当に よかったのにね
オイル切れのライター = an oil-lit lighter.
やけつく = to burn/cook
ような = as if, like, similar to (comparing two things)
いのなか = inside of stomach, middle of stomach
すべて = everything
そう = really, truly, so
うそ = lie(s)
なら = if
ほんとうに = really
よかった = past-tense form of adj. "good, fine" so it literally means "that was good/it was good", but in this sense means "thank goodness" or "I'm so glad/I'd be so glad".
のに = and yet, despite, even though
ね = indicates emphasis OR prompts the person the speaker is addressing to agree with them
We'd translate this second part as:
An oil-lit lighter
As if the inside of my stomach is burning
If everything is really a lie, I'd be glad/fine with that
君の首を絞める夢を見た
光の溢れる昼下がり
君の細い喉が跳ねるのを 泣き出しそうな眼で見ていた
きみ = you (informal but common. used with friends, NOT superiors)
くび = neck
を = particle that connects the verb with the noun: since Japanese is a SOV language, it may be easy to get the subject and object confused. Which one is being verb'ed? This particle helps you know which is connected to the verb--AKA, which is the object.
しめる = to strangle/constrict
ゆめをみた = past tense of "to dream" (literally: "I saw a dream")
"I dreamt I was strangling your neck".
ひかり = light
あふれる = to overflow, brim over (with)
ひるさがり = early afternoon
"(in) the early afternoon overflowing with light"
This next one's a bit complicated.
ほそい = thin, slender
のど = throat
はねる = to jump/leap
のを = like "wo" by itself, except used after verbs, usually (as far as I know).
なきだしそうな = like (I will) burst into tears, seeming to burst into tears (nakidasu means to burst into tears/start to cry. The "sou" makes it seem like she feels like it'll happen, or like it's about to happen).
め = eye(s)
で = indicates location but also is translated as "with" when paired with an object.
みていた = to have seen/to be seeing
"I watched your slender throat leap with eyes that started to burst into tears".
So our final translation is:
I dreamt I was strangling your neck
(In) the early afternoon overflowing with light
I watched your slender throat leap, with eyes that started to burst into tears
And now to the chorus:
核融合炉にさ
飛び込んでみたい と思う
真っ青な 光 包まれて奇麗
核融合炉にさ
飛び込んでみたら そしたら
すべてが許されるような気がして
かくゆうごうろ = nuclear fusion reactor
にさ = to, into
とびこんで = to jump in/leap in
みたい = to want to try. At the end of a -de/-te form of verb, "miru" means to "try something". With "tobikonde", it literally means "to jump in and see (what happens)".
と = this means "with" or "and", but here it's used to "quote" what the speaker feels.
おもう = to think/feel
So this would be "I think I want to try to jump into the nuclear reactor".
まっさおな = deep blue
ひかり = light
つつまれて = passive form of "to wrap up/envelop/engulf" -- the passive form would be "to be wrapped up/enveloped in".
きれい = beautiful, pretty
"Enveloped in a beautiful, deep blue light".
とびこんでみたら = like "I want to try to jump in" except this is "mitara" instead of "mitai". So it means more along the lines of "when/if I try to jump in".
そしたら = then, after that then
"If I try to dive into the nuclear reactor, then..."
ゆるされる = passive verb. "To be allowed/permitted."
気がして = to get the feeling, to have a certain feeling that something will happen.
"I feel like everything will be allowed".
Final translation:
I think I want to jump into the nuclear reactor
Enveloped in a deep blue, beautiful light
If I try to dive into the nuclear reactor,
then I feel like everything will be allowed
ベランダの向こう側
階段を昇ってゆく音
陰り出した空が 窓ガラスに 部屋に落ちる
ベランダ = veranda/balcony
むこうがわ = other/opposite side
On the other side of the balcony

核融合炉にさ
飛び込んでみたい と思う
真っ白に 記憶 融かされて消える
核融合炉にさ
飛び込んでみたら また昔みたいに 眠れるような そんな気がして
Similar and practically identical to the first chorus, except for a few changes:
まっしろ = pure white
きおく = memories
とかされて = to be combed out/melted
きえる = to disappear
また = again
むかし = olden days, the past
みたいに = just like, sort of, similar to
ねむれる = to sleep
Final translation:
I think I want to jump into the nuclear reactor
My memories will melt away and disappear into whiteness
If I jump into the nuclear reactor, I get the feeling that I'll fall asleep just like in the past

見えない誰かの笑い声 飽和して反響する
とけい = clock
びょうしん = second hand of clock
テレビ = TV (literally: televi)
しかいしゃ = chairperson, chairman
や = this means "and" but in a different sense than just "and" by itself... It means "this thing AND other things like it" without listing all those other things because it would be tedious to list all the other things, there are so many of them.
