Hated by Life Itself
[00:20.02] “Don’t say you want to die
[00:22.55] Live on without giving up!”
[00:24.53] ...How foolish it is to say songs with lyrics like that are correct.
[00:29.28] In truth, I couldn’t care a bit if I died, but I’d be pretty sad if the people around me did
[00:34.03] I suppose it’s some kind of ego; that goes “because I just wouldn’t like it”
[00:39.03] Not caring if strangers live or not,
[00:41.78] And hating someone else just seems like some kind of fashion now
[00:43.89] But “Live peacefully” nevertheless?
[00:46.60] What a wonderful thing that would be indeed...
[00:48.75] On the other side of the screen, someone dies
[00:51.25] Lamenting that, someone else sings
[00:53.50] Influenced by that, a young boy
[00:56.00] Ran off carrying a knife.
[00:58.01] We are hated by life itself.
[01:00.26] Pushing values and ego, as always, so very simply we broadcast songs about
[01:05.03] wanting to kill somebody else over radio waves.
[01:07.28] We are hated by life itself.
[01:10.28] We who thoughtlessly say we want to die
[01:12.53] And look at life thoughtlessly, are hated by it.
[01:27.27] I’ve got no money, and so throughout the day again, I sing songs of praise to indolence
[01:32.03] Still without grasping the meaning of life, I come to an epiphany that it’s pointless and take a breath.
[01:36.52] Are these wounds really ok to be expressed with words like “I’m lonely”
[01:41.77] Carrying nothing but such obstinacy, today again I sleep alone on my bed
[01:46.58] We who were but youths at some point start to change into young adults.
[01:51.33] Growing old, one day we rot away like fallen leaves with not a soul in the world knowing of our existence...
[01:55.82] Obtaining an immortal body, and living our whole existence without dying…
[02:00.56] ...I’m just daydreaming about these kinds of science fiction situations
[02:05.83] I couldn’t care a bit if I died,
[02:08.06] But I’m wanted alive by the people around me
[02:10.32] Living on carrying such contradictions... I think I’ll get yelled at.
[02:15.32] “Things that are “correct” should stay “correct””
[02:17.58] “If you don’t want to die, then live”
[02:19.83] If we’re going to end up sad and if that’s fine
[02:22.33] Then you gotta laugh alone forever
[02:24.09] We are hated by life itself.
[02:26.84] Without even grasping the meaning of joy, we just hate the hand life has dealt us
[02:31.83] and merely curse our pasts.
[02:33.83] We are hated by life itself.
[02:36.59] We who simply like the idea of the word “goodbye” a little too much, with no knowledge of a true farewell,
[02:41.59] are hated by life itself.
[02:53.59] Happiness, farewells, love and friendship;
[02:58.09] They’re all goods that can be bought for money… within jokes made by comical dreams.
[03:03.34] I might just die tomorrow you know,
[03:05.83] Everything might just end up being for naught.
[03:07.82] Mornings and nights, spring and autumn,
[03:10.09] Unchanging, someone dies somewhere.
[03:12.33] I don’t need dreams or even a tomorrow,
[03:15.09] If you’ll have lived on then that’s all I need.
[03:17.09] Yeah... That’s actually what I want to sing about.
[03:22.57] Hated by life itself
[03:24.83] In the end, we’ll die anyway
[03:27.08] You will, I will, one day all of us will rot away like fallen leaves
[03:31.34] But regardless, we live on frantically--
[03:33.84] Shouldering our lives, frantically, we live--
[03:36.59] Killing, struggling, laughing, shouldering it all
[03:39.07] Living, living, living, living-- just live.
