lyrics

Bitter

How could I know what it means to be alive? 
What’s crouching behind this innocence, a daydream of the childhood that passed by

 I do not understand how you can smile 
If loving myself is the answer, you know I will never be redeemed  

What should I’ve done, when it’s how everything’s supposed to be?
 That someone cries 
That someone dies, but that someone always wants to live

 I do not understand how you can smile 
If closing my eyes is the answer, you know I will never be redeemed

  경직된 목소리로 이야기하는 이상향 
스스로를 경멸하는 박애주의자의 모순
 사실은 이미 싹이 튼 인간혐오, 애처로운 자기변호
하지만 이렇게라도 하지 않으면 살아있는 것을 견딜 수가 없는걸

But why is it always so bitter?
사랑하고 싶은 만큼 더해지는 경멸

When life is what brings us to death
희망한 만큼 깊어지는 절망

 What should I do, when all the hopes in life are turning into despair?
 It’s nobody else’s pain but mine
I rot alone

 I started not to care anymore, now there’s no reason to cry
 No reason to laugh, no reason to live Anyways, no one will ever be redeemed

내게 그 빛을 증명해줘
이 부폐한 삶과 고통을 되낳는 이 존재에 어떤 가치가 있다는걸
내게 보여줘

사랑하고 싶지만

우리는 마주보는 거울, 열매를 맺지 못하는 애증의 연속성

-

Bitter

A utopia that is being talked about with a stiffened voice
The paradox of a philanthropist who despises himself

In fact, misanthropy sprouted already, a pathetic self-justification
But I cannot bear being alive, if I don’t do this at least

Contempt that adds up as much as you want to love

The more you hope, the deeper the despair

Prove me that light
That there is some value to this rotten life and the existence that repeatedly gives birth to misery
Show me

I want to love, but

We are mirrors facing each other, the continuity of love and hatred that cannot bear fruit

I never liked the screaming vocals of black metal... HOWEVER, this album changed that. It's blackgaze with a touch of J-pop into it, and it's one of the most pleasent combination. The lyrics are disjointed and abstract but are meaningful, lots to deconstruct here. Sudis___
