Hated by Life Itself (cover)
[00:24.10] “Don’t say you want to die”
[00:27.06] “Live on without giving up!”
[00:29.31] How foolish it is to say songs with lyrics like that are correct.
[00:34.81] In truth, I couldn’t care a bit if I died,
[00:37.80] but I’d be pretty sad if the people around me did
[00:40.56] I suppose it’s some kind of ego; that goes “because I just wouldn’t like it”
[00:46.80] Not caring if strangers live or not,
[00:49.56] and hating someone else just seems like some kind of fashion now
[00:52.31] But “Live peacefully” nevertheless?
[00:55.05] What a wonderful thing that would be indeed...
[00:58.24] On the other side of the screen, someone dies
[01:00.99] Lamenting that, someone else sings
[01:03.69] Influenced by that, a young boy
[01:06.49] Ran off carrying a knife.
[01:08.74] We are hated by life itself.
[01:11.55] Pushing values and ego, as always,
[01:14.31] so very simply we broadcast songs about
[01:17.31] wanting to kill somebody else over radio waves.
[01:19.81] We are hated by life itself.
[01:23.06] We who thoughtlessly say we want to die
[01:25.80] and look at life thoughtlessly, are hated by it.
[01:43.17] I’ve got no money, and so throughout the day again,
[01:45.66] I sing songs of praise to indolence
[01:48.67] Still without grasping the meaning of life,
[01:51.41] I come to an epiphany that it’s pointless and take a breath.
[01:54.41] Are these wounds really okay to be expressed with words like “I’m lonely”
[02:00.09] Carrying nothing but such obstinacy,
[02:02.60] today again I sleep alone on my bed
[02:05.59] We who were but youths at some point
[02:08.11] start to change into young adults.
[02:11.52] Growing old, one day we rot away like fallen leaves with
[02:14.41] not a soul in the world knowing of our existence...
[02:17.27] Obtaining an immortal body,
[02:19.85] and living our whole existence without dying…
[02:22.60] I’m just daydreaming about these kinds of science fiction situations
[02:28.35] I couldn’t care a bit if I died,
[02:31.34] But I’m wanted alive by the people around me
[02:34.10] Living on carrying such contradictions...
[02:36.85] I think I’ll get yelled at.
[02:39.59] “Things that are “correct” should stay “correct”.”
[02:42.36] “If you don’t want to die, then live.”
[02:45.10] If we’re going to end up sad and if that’s fine
[02:48.11] Then you gotta laugh alone forever
[02:50.34] We are hated by life itself.
[02:53.35] Without even grasping the meaning of joy,
[02:56.06] we just hate the hand life has dealt us
[02:59.01] and merely curse our pasts.
[03:01.51] We are hated by life itself.
[03:04.76] We who simply like the idea of the word “goodbye” a little too much,
[03:07.50] with no knowledge of a true farewell, are hated by life itself.
[03:24.47] Happiness,
[03:25.92] farewells,
[03:27.26] love
[03:28.76] and friendship;
[03:30.43] They’re all goods that can be bought for money…
[03:32.90] within jokes made by comical dreams.
[03:36.15] I might just die tomorrow you know,
[03:38.89] Everything might just end up being for naught.
[03:41.66] Mornings
[03:42.15] and nights,
[03:42.90] spring
[03:43.66] and autumn,
[03:44.40] Unchanging, someone dies somewhere.
[03:47.09] I don’t need dreams
[03:47.85] or even a tomorrow,
[03:49.85] If you’ll have lived on then that’s all I need.
[03:52.60] Yeah...
[03:54.10] That’s actually what I want to sing about.
[03:58.60] Hated by life itself
[04:01.09] In the end, we’ll die anyway
[04:03.84] You will,
[04:05.35] I will,
[04:06.35] one day all of us will rot away like fallen leaves
[04:09.34] But regardless, we live on frantically-
[04:12.10] Shouldering our lives, frantically, we live-
[04:15.09] Killing,
[04:15.84] struggling,
[04:16.60] laughing,
[04:17.29] shouldering it all
[04:18.10] Live
[04:18.85] Live
[04:19.59] Live
[04:20.35] Live
[04:21.09] JUST LIVE.
