23rd Monster (lyrics)
 

23rd Monster

Try, gentle, like a ripple,
I dreamt that kind of false dream
Having my path blocked completely
is obviously something I’m very used to

It’s insane no matter how you slice it
It’s called A ‘Monster’

What’s normal has been rewritten
and the time for pessimism has passed already

Accept it?
Bare my fangs?
Am I staring at the end or the beginning?

It looks like our options have declined
but in a way they may have become infinite, right?

Stranger,
I have no interest in your judgement
The conclusion is up to me

Fly, exhausted and worn down hearts
It’s not like we’ve lost everything, not yet
Screw ‘falling in line’
That’s what your eyes are clearly telling me

Trying everything and going down in a blaze of glory is preferable, right?
You’re also A ‘Monster’

Times have become uncertain
and what’s certain has become clear

Will you hold fast?

What will you discard?
That future has this current past

Only pushing forward isn’t strength
There’s no way that letting go is easy

Darling,
don’t blame it on anyone
The conclusion is up to you

What’s normal has been rewritten
and the time for pessimism has passed already

Accept it?
Bare my fangs?
Am I staring at the end or the beginning?

It looks like our options have declined
but in a way they may have become infinite, right?

Stranger,
I have no interest in your judgement

Times have become uncertain
and what’s certain has become clear

Will you hold fast?

What will you discard?
That future has this current past

Only pushing forward isn’t strength
There’s no way that letting go is easy

Darling,
don’t blame it on anyone
The conclusion is up to you

- The conclusion is up to me -

I understood why the song gave me a WARNING feeling.

the lyrics convince me that this song would make a fantastic album opener (after the usual instrumental intro track, you know, per usual). reading these lyrics make my heart race. they send such a strong message about who she is.

thank you so much for translating this!
