Phantasmagorical Secret Spiral
Translation by Katie
Metamorphosis, transmogrified aesthetic
Transformation, your dance
Alchemy, domain, mystery
Modification, lamp changing with the wind
Sexuality, David, expressing a sin
Alchemy, domain, mystery
From here to there, transcendent transmutation
The secret formula, the secret ritual art
Birth in the walls, transposing infinity
Super andreamgynous melts time
Metamorphosis, a deviating course
Transformation, spiral motion
Alchemy, domain, mystery
Modification, a symbolic existence
Sexuality, David, without a stopping point
Alchemy, domain, mystery
Transcendent transmutation, transcendent transmutation
Transcendent transmutation
The secret formula, the spiral, the secret formula, the spiral
Transcendent transmutation
Transcendent transmutation
Transcendent transmutation
The secret formula, the spiral, the secret formula, the spiral
Shape-Shifting Secret Formula Spiral
Translation by EJ
Metamorphosis, transformation aesthetic
Transformation, dancing to you
Alchemy domain mystery
Modification, a wind-changing lamp
Sexual David, a sinful expression
Alchemy domain mystery
Shape-shifting from here to there
Secret formula, secret ritual technique melting into darkness
Birth within walls, transformation eternity
Super-dream, gynous, melting into time
Metamorphosis, road of deviation
Transformation, spiral motion
Alchemy domain mystery
Modification, a symbolic being
Sexual David, without a stopping point
Alchemy domain mystery
Shape-shifting and, shape-shifting and
Shape-shifting and
Shape-shifting and
The secret formula spiral, the secret formula spiral
Shape-shifting and
Shape-shifting and
The secret formula spiral, the secret formula spiral

Translation Notes From Hiraku:

Transforming (Perverted) aesthetic

I am open to interpreting 変態 here as “form-changing” or “perverted” because this song is about freely transforming, but, also, given the context that “David” is being mentioned in the song, I guess it can also be about sexual perversion

Sexual, David The expression of sin
I am guessing セクシュアル・デヴィット (Sexual David) here is referring to King David, who bedded Bathsheba and had an illegitimate child.

Transomniogynous, Melding into time
I am pretty sure 超夢ギュヌス is a word that is completely made up, so it’s only fair I make up the word “Transomniogynous”. -Gynous is the suffix for relating to women or women’s organs. I am interpreting 超夢 as “Beyond dreams” or “Surpassing dreams”. There you have it: Transomniogynous - Female reproductive organs which possess the ability to transcend dreams and fantasies to create progeny of alchemy. You’re welcome.

This song is interesting in that despite it being about changing and transforming, like most of other J.A. Seazer’s songs, it is also about changing through the process of mating or sex. Why else is David being mentioned? When you look at it that way, the secret art and secret ritual could be about the act of sexual intercourse. Sex is a private experience for most people. And, (If we are exclusively talking about sex at least for the purpose of mating) mating process is kind of like alchemy - Making something new out of two distinct gametes
