思想犯 [Shisōhan] [English translation]

Do you, who is kind to others, understand this heart of mine?

It pleases me to put curses on people, that's why I've been writing songs

Appearing on a morning news broadcast has always been my dream

For that purpose I am sharpening a kitchen knife

The sound of shattering glass, the sound of ripping apart some kind of paper,

The evening glow of a sunset after a goodbye - are all beautiful, even you understand that, right?

Madder backdrop to crows' song

Right now even this loneliness is turning into sound

Your silhouette, tinged with setting sun,

Standing on tiptoes, clouds glowing red, "Goodbye" escapes my lips

Seeking recognition, wanting to love

Is that what they call dreams?

Make them come true while I'm just idling there, get to it, satisfy all of my desires

Does this world, which is kind to others, understand this jealousy of mine?

I'm always looking for an opportunity to cause someone pain

Striking streetlights with a beer bottle, the sound of thrashing a guitar,

Every part of irrevocable regret - are all beautiful, even I should understand that and yet

Struck by a volley of words

The winter comes in place of autumn still dear to me

The smoke will once again rise from behind the spring mountain

The summer breeze brushes against my cheeks

Do you, who is kind to others, understand this loneliness of mine?

I don't want to die, though I don't want to live either, that's why I'm writing songs

Because I think that the denouncements, a lack of hope and general disgust towards myself are all forms of upheld interest

I write songs that hurt other people

Songs without any substance, just like this one

I want to swallow up your words

I'll accept them not with a vessel, but with my two bare hands

Before I realise it, my throat will become wet

And while waiting for that moment

Madder backdrop to crows' song

Oh, my loneliness, turn into sound this instant!

Goodbye, a madder backdrop to you

Right now I'm waiting for the night

"See you tomorrow" escapes my lips
