Hated by Life Itself (cover)

[00:24.00] “Don’t say you want to die”

[00:26.70] “Live on without giving up!”

[00:29.45] How foolish it is to say songs with lyrics like that are correct.

[00:34.70] In truth, I couldn’t care a bit if I died,

[00:37.69] but I’d be pretty sad if the people around me did

[00:40.45] I suppose it’s some kind of ego; that goes “because I just wouldn’t like it”

[00:46.44] Not caring if strangers live or not,

[00:49.44] and hating someone else just seems like some kind of fashion now

[00:52.20] But “Live peacefully” nevertheless?

[00:54.95] What a wonderful thing that would be indeed...

[00:57.70] On the other side of the screen, someone dies

[01:00.70] Lamenting that, someone else sings

[01:03.45] Influenced by that, a young boy

[01:06.44] Ran off carrying a knife.

[01:08.69] We are hated by life itself.

[01:11.69] Pushing values and ego, as always,

[01:14.19] so very simply we broadcast songs about

[01:17.20] wanting to kill somebody else over radio waves.

[01:19.95] We are hated by life itself.

[01:22.95] We who thoughtlessly say we want to die

[01:25.69] and look at life thoughtlessly, are hated by it.

[01:43.19] I’ve got no money, and so throughout the day again,

[01:45.70] I sing songs of praise to indolence

[01:48.70] Still without grasping the meaning of life,

[01:51.46] I come to an epiphany that it’s pointless and take a breath.

[01:54.46] Are these wounds really okay to be expressed with words like “I’m lonely”

[01:59.95] Carrying nothing but such obstinacy,

[02:02.70] today again I sleep alone on my bed

[02:05.70] We who were but youths at some point

[02:08.20] start to change into young adults.

[02:11.19] Growing old, one day we rot away like fallen leaves with

[02:13.96] not a soul in the world knowing of our existence...

[02:16.95] Obtaining an immortal body,

[02:19.69] and living our whole existence without dying…

[02:22.45] I’m just daydreaming about these kinds of science fiction situations

[02:28.37] I couldn’t care a bit if I died,

[02:31.12] But I’m wanted alive by the people around me

[02:33.87] Living on carrying such contradictions...

[02:36.62] I think I’ll get yelled at.

[02:39.38] “Things that are “correct” should stay “correct”.”

[02:42.37] “If you don’t want to die, then live.”

[02:45.12] If we’re going to end up sad and if that’s fine

[02:47.62] Then you gotta laugh alone forever

[02:50.12] We are hated by life itself.

[02:53.38] Without even grasping the meaning of joy,

[02:55.87] we just hate the hand life has dealt us

[02:58.86] and merely curse our pasts.

[03:01.38] We are hated by life itself.

[03:04.62] We who simply like the idea of the word “goodbye” a little too much,

[03:07.38] with no knowledge of a true farewell, are hated by life itself.

[03:24.62] Happiness,

[03:25.63] farewells,

[03:27.38] love

[03:28.62] and friendship;

[03:30.12] They’re all goods that can be bought for money…

[03:32.81] within jokes made by comical dreams.

[03:36.08] I might just die tomorrow you know,

[03:38.82] Everything might just end up being for naught.

[03:41.56] Mornings and nights,

[03:42.82] spring and autumn,

[03:44.32] Unchanging, someone dies somewhere.

[03:47.06] I don’t need dreams

[03:48.56] or even a tomorrow,

[03:50.06] If you’ll have lived on then that’s all I need.

[03:52.57] Yeah...

[03:54.25] That’s actually what I want to sing about.

[03:58.70] Hated by life itself

[04:01.20] In the end, we’ll die anyway

[04:03.94] You will,

[04:05.19] I will,

[04:06.46] one day all of us will rot away like fallen leaves

[04:09.20] But regardless, we live on frantically-

[04:12.20] Shouldering our lives, frantically, we live-

[04:14.69] Killing, struggling,

[04:16.45] laughing, shouldering it all

[04:17.95] Live

[04:18.71] Live

[04:19.44] Live

[04:20.20] Live

[04:20.94] JUST LIVE.
