Lyrics

The clear-eyed Shonen gradually became an adult.
He won't shed tears in that novel or movie anymore.

The clear-eyed Shonen gradually fell into the depths.
The electric guitar that he forgot to play is now gathering dust.

Will tomorrow not come to the lost Shonen?
Lost Shonen, please remember.

The clear-eyed Shonen couldn't overcome many scenes of carnage.
Even from the night he trusted, now it seems like it will overflow.

Clear-eyed Shonen respects his global
Betting his life on the tribal, he became the great ginkgo of December.

The lost Shonen is asked, "Why do you live?"
Lost Shonen, give him the answer.

Reflected in the soft eyes of the lost Shonen.
What is the lost item of Shonen?
Lost Shonen is looking for a different one now.
Lost Shonen, you still need to check your answers, have you?

Love, what a heartless feeling. He knows it's a fleeting thing.
Friendship, loneliness, despair, hope, chaos, love, and hatred, sometimes very passionate, become something that doesn't hurt.
Collapse, oblivion, roar, sob, chaos,

The lost Shonen chooses a different himself from yesterday.
Lost Shonen, he must remember.
Lost Shonen, he has already finished the liquidation.
Lost Shonen, he won't return anymore, can't he return?

Commentary

"Shonen" means a struggling boy. This song is about the melancholy and sorrow peculiar to boyhood called "blues." We can interpret that there were no dreams or hopes, but at the end of life, it contains the nuance of having lived a fulfilling life and being satisfied.

The song follows the rock 'n' roll etiquette but is challenging to interpret, including the opening 5/4-time signature, and is bewildering. The dizzying development includes modulation and rap-like middle parts, so you won't get tired of listening to it. A guitar solo full of hyper feeling unique to the 2020s is played on a vintage 1950s Telecaster equipped with a B-string bender and is one of the highlights.
