Formal Stranger

Nothy BUGG

悲観に逃げたがる人の性

不幸に浸かるのは楽だから

無理に出てこいとは言わないさ

構わないさ

他人だから

型にハマりたがる人の性

思考に浸かるのは毒だから

何を信じたって構わないさ

傷つければ?

他人だから

手に収まる窓を覗いては

世が幸の軸すらも委ねる中

改めまして幸とは何か

考えてみたので歌います

3つあるかと思います

①予測型能動的幸福感

②思考型受動的幸福感

③思考放棄型幸福感

①予測型は

→死を目前に

思い浮かべる願いを予測し

実現するために生きる事、

夢やら希望やらを食らう事

②思考型は

→意図して思考し

恵まれてる事に目を向ける

家族 友達 恋人 衣食住

職 趣味 金 恵まれてる事に

③思考放棄型は文字通り

→考えない様に生きる事

不幸に触れなくて済む事

不幸の反対側である事

異論は無駄

自他共に認める馬鹿の持論

聞いた上、不幸そうにするなら

もう勝手にやってくれ

魅せる涙に価値など無い

悲観に逃げたがる人の性

不幸に浸かるのは楽だから

無理に出てこいとは言わないさ

構わないさ

他人だから

型にハマりたがる人の性

思考に浸かるのは毒だから

何を信じたって構わないさ

傷つければ?

他人だから

驕る人へ

生きた時間全部 花じゃないから

耳を貸しそうにないの 偉そうに

歩んだ道を枷にする始末(Yeah)

聞いて(Tu tu lu lu...tu)

聞いて(Tu tu lu lu...tu)

周りを責めたがる人の性

指差せる程何か成しましたか

這い上がれないなら蹴落とすな

見てられないよ

醜いから(Wow)

歌にすれば伝わる本心も(Wow)

面と向かえば他人行儀になる

独裁が集う社会に

己も含め例外はない ねえ(Wow)

話を聞いてよ(Wow)

聞くフリは上手いんだろうけど

歌の上で奏でる本心も

他人行儀じゃなくたってどうせ

伝わらない

貴方ならやれると思うから

自信なんか無くても良いから

聞いているよ

私だから

    Formal Stranger

    Nothy BUGG

A philosophical rock piece that questions the nature of "happiness."
Through the distance between people, the song dissects how we define and pursue it.

It explores three forms of happiness:
(1) Proactive happiness - living to realize the wishes you'd recall before death.
(2) Reflective happiness - finding gratitude in what already surrounds you.
(3) Detached happiness - choosing not to think, to avoid touching pain.

Built on these perspectives, Tanin-gyōgi exposes the instincts to escape, conform, and judge-
and the quiet traces of kindness left beneath them.
"Because it's easier to stay miserable."
"Because we're just strangers."
Cold words that still carry a fragment of empathy.

A song that captures the loss of sincerity in modern society,
and the fragile hope of wanting to believe in someone anyway.
Nothy BUGG's sharp and emotional take on what happiness means today.
