The Lamentations of the Lost Ones
Song and Lyrics: Neru
Video: 456
Sound: Tomodachi-Boshuu P
Vocal: Kagamine Rin
I think I've forgotten in the classroom something more important than a textbook or homework.
The distrust of a few centimeters' long edge
In the end pierced right through the vein.
Frail love spatters out when that happens
Even a Les Paul has become a weapon, now.
No fiction.
I like math and science
But I just wasn't any good at languages, so I hated it.
When you kept wondering which was right
It turns out they were all wrong anyway.
Today's homework
= Me, Mr. Generic.
It's just right, not constraining,
That's how I've been living as of late.
But why do we
Sometimes—no, everyday,
Say that we're sad,
Say that we're lonely?
Can you read the kanji on the blackboard?
Can you read the state of that kid's heart?
The one that stained his heart so black
Hey, who was it?
C'mon, who was it?!
Can you solve the equation on your abacus?
Can you also undo the choker on that kid?
Can we stand to remain like this?
Hey, whaddya gonna do?
It doesn't matter anymore.
No matter how much time passes,
We're drunk on slovenly hypnotism
With unwieldy, incurable pride
We always
Sheltered beneath it.
The homework yesterday, as usual, is unsolvable.
Just right, not restrictive,
That's how I've been living as of late.
But why is
The lump in our chests
Saying we want to disappear?
Saying we want to die?
Can you read the kanji on the blackboard?
Can you read the state of that kid's heart?
What stained his heart so black
Hey, who was it?
C'mon, who was it?!
Can you solve the equation on your abacus?
Can you also undo the choker on that kid?
Can we stand to remain like this?
Hey, whaddya gonna do?
Hey, whaddya gonna do?!
Can you recite the formula for the area ratio?
Can you recite the dreams you had as a kid?
The one who dumped even those dreams into the gutter
Hey, who was it?
Don't you already know it.
When will I become an adult?
In the first place, what does it even mean to become an adult?
Who can I consult for this?
C'mon, whaddya gonna do?
It doesn't matter anymore.
