Akari Kiki

生を受けた代償にまだ何か返すべき負債が

残っている気がして

生まれてよかったって認められるようなものなんて

生み出せていないのに

何も無いのあなたにとって有益なものは何も

ひしゃげて転がってる自尊心かろうじて息してるだけ

慈しい痛みを引っさげ

それでもトドメは刺させない

どうなったって知らんこっちゃ

奪えないものしか持ってないから

どこまで耐えられるかチキンレースに価値を見出してる

クレイジーな世界で

否応なしに分別されて無能のレッテル貼られて

リカバリーなんて無理

何も無いのあなたが期待してるようなものは何も

いっそふっと消えちゃえばその方が世のためだろか

疎ましい責苦を消し去れ

恥なんて忍んでやらない

水に流してサヨナラ

どうせ負け犬なら吠えてやんよ

人知れず脈打ってるだけ

それでいい

慈しい痛みを引っさげ

それでもトドメは刺させない

どうなったって知らんこっちゃ

奪えないものしか持ってないから

負け犬らしく吠えてやんよ

    Akari Kiki

I wrote this song as the antithesis of having our values determined by others.
I am not the only one who tends to be influenced by values created by someone who is not me, including trends and times, or to compare myself with others and despise myself, and I am not the only one who falls into such situations.
I affirm such conflicts as necessary.
Because I believe that what is filtered through conflict is what is sufficient for true identity.
There is a theory that howling is an act of asserting one's own territory.
No one can take away your identity. No one can hurt you.
You can decide what values are important to you.
