Liar Game OP English Subs/Lyrics

Описание: Liar Game was one of my first favorite series and I'm so happy it's finally getting an Anime adaptation! This is a really cool and meaningful opening so I spent a few hours translating and then subtitling it so people can hopefully understand how well the visuals fit with the lyrics. I even made them so you could actually sing along if you were so inclined! Hopefully it adds to the enjoyment for some people, I might do the same thing with the ending.

NOTES:
The entire song revolves around the word "Abuku," which means "To Bubble." There's quite a bit of wordplay with this phrase, because it can refer to bubbles, foam, froth, suds, and it's even used in the phrase "Abuku Zeni," which means "Easy Money," but more aptly "Foamy Money." I tried to get this across, but too much of the meaning wound up being lost so I just used a bunch of synonyms for bubbly.

Tautology means "a statement that says the same thing twice using different words." I'm still not totally sure what the writer means by having it grasped in your hands, but it's definitely a cool word I didn't know.

The final phrase that Nao mouths the words to is "Sukuitai Dake." This can mean "I just want to scoop (it/them) up," OR "I just want to save (it/them)" depending on the Kanji you spell it with. The original song uses the "scoop" spelling in the subtitles, but "save" is much more common and is definitely what is meant to be heard when Nao is saying it. So that's the one I went with, because it absolutely fits better.

DEAD LITERAL LYRICS FOR THOSE WHO CARE:
A beast wriggles within me to the point where there's nothing to do about it.
Bubbles rise up, rise up and disappear.
Bubbling.
A beast controls me, and I'm sad, and there's nothing to do about it.
Tautology grasped, the bubbly...
...clouds passing by, rather than think of them, shout off far away.
At that thing that's so painful there's no room to breathe.

Burn up the leisurely, leisurely dreams with the white, white of the soul.
I just want to set fire to the fires of joy.
Imagination is just a little bit of easy money. With both hands of words that are not cold,
count up the things that are not burnt. I just want to scoop them up.
