  Paradichlorobenzene is a harmful chemical found in mothballs, I believe.
  These 2 songs basically talk about human jealousy, and how it in turn harms us like Paradichlorobenzene, I think.

  So let's sing, let's dance
  Paradichlorobenzene
  So let's scream, let's shout
  Paradichlorobenzene
  Dogs, cat, cows, pigs, everyone
  Paradichlorobenzene
  So let's go mad, let's fall asleep
  Until we fall apart...
  
  I need to stop spamming this in Vindictus, lol.
  
  EDIT: There are 2 parts before Paradichlorobenzene. Benzene and Nitrobenzene.
  
  EDIT2:
  

  Quote from Vocaloidism:

  OwataP has mentioned on his blog that the lyrics contain hidden messages and meanings in it as there are many clues in the video. One possible interpretation is the song talking about the dark side and the selfishness of man as they become jealous of other people’s works after having their own works insensitively disregarded by others. This in turn makes such people angry as they rage against themselves and others insensitively.

  Oh, I thought the Paradichlorobenezene was in part about the restrictions of the Japanese social system and what not. Since I read somewhere that the reason why the niconico video people cover their face is to avoid distinction by other people. The jealousy part, I was guessing that it referred to jealousy both for the abilities of others that they see in society as well as other countries with more individual freedoms.
  
  But...that's just me~
  
  EDIT: It's also used as a disinfectant, so it washes individuality and sensitivity?

  O_O so this song is pretty dark and philosophically deep.

  I listened to it a few more times and I think it also addresses internet trolls. If you read the text that sometimes flash at the top or bottom of the screen, it sounds like the singer is asking why are there people that spout hurtful words to people

  Oh ya the end of Paradichlorobenzene has an image of a comment section that says hurtful things about the artist's work.
  
  Like "I could do better than this" "Pros are better"
  *maybe its anti-chlorobenzene I'm not sure which xP*

  Yeah, it's Paradichloro
  Antichloro seems to be a response to Paradichloro. Not only musically, but also in content. It seems to continue Paradichloro, actually. It sort of continues the cat reference with the deceiving and what not.
  
  EDIT: Notice how the words in Antichloro are upside down and the Paradichloro words are right side up. At some point in the Paradichloro vid, "I'm jealous" is produced, but in Antichloro "I'm jealous" is getting erased.
  Also, both songs refer to sin; Paradichloro was also the "Destructive-type" and Antichloro was "Sin-cleansing type"

  I found it interesting that this video blended the supposedly the twin songs.
