single: Isshou十TAX release date: May 7th, 2019 lyrics: from here translation: VerwelktesGedicht note: this was a request. The song was somehow pretty hard for me to translate, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there are mistakes in here. But at least you can an idea of what this song is about!

_____

Just by being born we’ve already commited a sin. It’s a sin that we make someone depend on someone.

We’re punished, just by being alive. A replacement exists and we are punished by suffering.

Everyone makes other people suffer. The world will be killed by some other rules. It will be murdered by the truth that there is a replacement.

In this world rebirth doesn’t exist. What is best to do? What is best to do? Let’s take this burden through our whole life!

I always hate this reality where a replacement exists. And still, I just want to be noticed by the people who are important to me. What can I do so that I will be loved? All I can think about is that question.

Recommendations were found. Beauty contact lenses are worn. Got it! The requirement to start (band) activities was suspended. Very soon activities will start.

The blind filter starts. All I can see is you. All I need is you. I don’t need it. I don’t need it.

Don’t you want to look only at me? Don’t you want to delete everything except for me? I don’t need it. I don’t need it.

And still, there is this amount of replacements that don’t disappear. And still I can’t see my future. It hurts.

That’s how it is. I always hate that reality where a replacement exists. And still, I just want to be noticed by the people who are important to me. What can I do so that I can become the No. 1? That’s what I thought about.

Just by being born we’re already commited a sin. It’s a sin that we make someone depend on someone. Everyone makes other people suffer.

The answer that the artists found who were active in the first half of the 2000ies was “The only one who can save me is me.”

But what if I can’t do that?

What is the best to do? I will take this burden. (While praying.) I will take this burden. (While giving my best.) I will take this burden. (Not even having a dream.) I will take this burden. (I want to live strongly.) Because there won’t be a rescue for me.

It’s fine if you never have a dream. It’s fine to not search for one. In the end it’s fine if all you search for is the end that you can understand. You told me there is an replacement. That it’s uncertain. The important things are over there.

The world hasn’t any meaning. It ties you down. The future in its sooty emptiness. That’s how it ends. I wonder if this is the way we can let it end. I who is responsible for the mistakes can tear this chain only by enthusiasm. Don’t depend on that guy who pretends to save you.
