Lyrics & Translation
Without a form, still a flawed creation
It's self-identity, absorb the rumors
Having fulfilled the true desire, I want to see beyond
The empty body of the temple, let's celebrate its disposal
I'll introduce myself—prepare yourself?
I don’t seek a winning strategy; it's mostly luck anyway
I'll give you the answer—transient brilliance or misdirection?
Here
In the midst of endless circling
It's the nature of labor mice
Wake Up, Bankers! Pay Back! (Rise, bankers, give us the money)
Today again, working day after day
One verse, one punch (One line, one strike)
For answers, indulge in fantasy
Stand up, my fellow people
Test your skills, stack up what you’ve learned
Measure it—use a brand new saddle
Play it—these people are still surrounded and betrayed
Through those who oppose, I want to understand my flaws
The secular world is chaos—dive deep into it
Every fire line—still I cannot die yet
My defilements are enlightenment—embracing shame and desire
Having finished toasting, I want to see what's beyond
By the time I realize, it's already too late
Unable to voice my faintest wish, it's over
Cleaning everything out, I want to apologize for regrets
The peaceful life of the ordinary world
A normal person's life
Is it okay to wish for that?
The eternal debate of existence
A true enthusiast of pursuits
Socially, an outlaw?
Bans and rules are constantly evolving
Polite and courteous, yet rude actions occur
Damn it!!!
The evangelist of sexuality
Playboy—it’s mostly about normal positions
Boldly stand up, my fellow people
Right now!!
Forgive me for the sins I once committed
Judge me—by a new sense of right and wrong
Admonish me—if I’ve survived anyway
Through those I love, I want to witness the world's greatest scenery
I was disregarding it
Even hesitation
Of natural forces
Myself
Knowing weakness
Gaining strength
Breaking through darkness
Flowers of light bloom
Women and men
Hate and love
Truth and righteousness
Foolishness and errors
Sin, punishment, and
Life and death, everything
Between the two extremes, they connect
Today is today, tomorrow is tomorrow again
Be content
Let’s continue wandering, flesh and blood
Form is emptiness—changing in the blink of an eye
Long live the heartbeat—look, the ephemeral world is fragile
