@Lynn, emotions can often be displayed without lyrics by tone of voice. Certain tones example emotions such as sorrow or happiness. Reminds me a bit of "Be Prepared" with the imagery and tone conveying a sinister position, or "Hellfire" from Hunchback of Notredam. Sometimes the lyrics don't convey the ideas the tones are displaying in Vocaloid due to the way Vocaloids are monotoned, so I do understand why people want a translation.

But even then... Secret is the best example we have of seeking a meaning to a song when there is no meaning. Outside of Vocaloid you also have "The Riddle" which another example of a nonsense song.

Though some songs like "Remember" from the TV cartoon Danny Phantom are story tellers and that song tells the story of the character of Ember and how she died.
