Lyrics & Translation
Afraid it would run out, I had to get even more
Dripping with honey, it's bound to distort even further
Feasting happily, I got nauseous and vomited everywhere
I thought fullness was something better
But it feels so detestable
Why does this happen? The honey used to taste so sweet
Was it actually poison meant to trap me?
Am I cursed? I didn't offend anyone
And I'm pretty sure I know myself best
So something's wrong
Ah, this self is the only thing I love
To hear, to smell, to see, to touch
To taste—it’s irreplaceable, no less
