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, but if those around me die, I’d be sad
6.It’s just my ego saying, “I would hate that.”7.
8.I don’t really care if others are alive
9.Hating someone is also fashionable
10.Still, to say “Let’s all live in peace”
11.Isn’t that a wonderful thing?12.
13.On the other side of the screen, someone dies
14.Someone mourns their death, someone sings about it
15.And a boy influenced by it
16.Starts running with a knife in hand17.
18.We are hated by life itself
19.Forcing our values and egos onto others
20.While broadcasting songs about wanting to kill someone on the airwaves
21.We are hated by life itself
22.Carelessly saying we want to die
23.Carelessly looking at life, we are hated by life itself24.
25.With no money, today too, I’ll indulge in idle sleep all day long
26.Unable to find a reason to live, aware of the futility, I breathe
27.Is it okay to express this wound with words like “lonely”?
28.With such pride, today too, I carry it all and sleep alone in bed29.
30.We, who were once boys, will someday become young men
31.Growing old, eventually decaying like leaves, unnoticed by anyone
32.Obtaining an immortal body and living a life without death
33.That’s the science fiction fantasy I’m imagining34.
35.Even if I die, I don’t really care
36.But I still want those around me to live
37.But living with such contradictions makes people angry with you38.
39.“Do what is right, the right way”
40.“If you don’t want to die, then live”
41.If it will make you sad, and you’re okay with that
42.Then just keep smiling alone forever43.
44.We are hated by life itself
45.Not understanding the meaning of happiness, hating only the environment we were born into
46.Easily cursing only the past
47.We are hated by life itself
48.Loving goodbyes so much that we don’t know true farewells, we are hated by life itself49.
50.Happiness, farewells, love, friendship
51.All can be bought with money through this absurd play of dreams
52.We might die tomorrow
53.Everything might become meaningless
54.Morning, night, spring, autumn
55.Someone somewhere will die just the same
56.Dreams, tomorrow, we don’t need anything
57.It’s fine, as long as you were alive
58.That’s right
59.That’s what I really want to sing about60.
61.We are hated by life itself
62.Ultimately, we will all die someday
63.You and I, we’ll both decay like leaves eventually
64.Still, we desperately live on
65.Clutching life with all our might
66.Killing, struggling, laughing, embracing
67.Living, living, living, living, keep living on
