1.“Don’t say “I want to die””
2.“Don’t give up, keep on living”
3.To say such songs are right is absurd4.
5.In reality, I’m fine with dying,
6.But if those around me die, I’d be sad
7.It’s just my ego saying, “I would hate that.”8.
9.I don’t really care if others are alive
10.Hating someone is also fashionable
11.Still, to say “Let’s all live in peace”
12.Isn’t that a wonderful thing?13.
14.On the other side of the screen, someone dies
15.Someone mourns their death, someone sings about it
16.And a boy influenced by it
17.Starts running with a knife in hand18.
19.We are hated by life itself
20.Forcing our values and egos onto others
21.While broadcasting songs about wanting to kill someone
22.On the airwaves
23.We are hated by life itself
24.Carelessly saying we want to die
25.Carelessly looking at life,
26.We are hated by life itself27.
28.With no money, today too,
29.I’ll indulge in idle sleep all day long
30.Unable to find a reason to live,
31.Aware of the futility, I breathe
32.Is it okay to express this wound with words like “lonely”?
33.With such pride, today too, I carry it all and sleep alone in bed34.
35.We, who were once boys, will someday become young men
36.Growing old, eventually decaying like leaves,
37.Unnoticed by anyone
38.Obtaining an immortal body and living a life without death
39.That’s the science fiction fantasy I’m imagining40.
41.Even if I die, I don’t really care
42.But I still want those around me to live
43.But living with such contradictions makes people angry with you44.
45.“Do what is right, the right way”
46.“If you don’t want to die, then live”
47.If it will make you sad, and you’re okay with that
48.Then just keep smiling alone forever49.
50.We are hated by life itself
51.Not understanding the meaning of happiness,
52.Hating only the environment we were born into
53.Easily cursing only the past
54.We are hated by life itself
55.Loving goodbyes so much
56.That we don’t know true farewells,
57.We are hated by life itself58.
59.Happiness, farewells, love, friendship
60.All can be bought with money through this absurd play of dreams
61.We might die tomorrow
62.Everything might become meaningless
63.Morning, night, spring, autumn
64.Someone somewhere will die just the same
65.Dreams, tomorrow, we don’t need anything
66.It’s fine, as long as you were alive
67.That’s right
68.That’s what I really want to sing about69.
70.We are hated by life itself
71.Ultimately, we will all die someday
72.You and I, we’ll both decay like leaves eventually
73.Still, we desperately live on
74.Clutching life with all our might
75.Killing, struggling, laughing, embracing
76.Living, living, living, living, keep living on
