A Realistic Logical Ideologist (現実的論理主義者) **Attempting at translation from Japanese-Eng** Today’s news decided to make a fool of me With an important looking title, and the weapon known as ‘authority’ With complicated words side by side Are you stupid? Why don’t you use words even an idiot can understand Using a shield of logic as an umbrella, your voice will never reach me. From when I bid goodbye to yesterday, until today began Father was on top of mother, shaking his hips like an idiot Pretending to sleep, the boy uses his phone, searching for a place to go It seems this isn’t where I belong either Who’s the idiotic looking person reflected in the mirror? With logical loneliness and the trembling of the universe My undermined heart feels jealousy That’s right, even I’m trying my best every day, so “Shut up”, don’t you dare say a thing In this submissive society, be obedient. They criticize me as I sleep, sneering patronizingly Everyone around me is an enemy; they fire rapidly Treating me like an idiot. Are you stupid? Why don’t you just choose words even an idiot can understand Isn’t there anyone to point the way? If so, teach me of tomorrow. Even if they only seek pleasure, aren’t human things good enough? I laughed without emotion Your existence is just like air; even if you aren’t here, it’s the same Isn’t it sad if I’m not here? With logical loneliness and the trembling of the universe My undermined heart feels jealousy Ambiguous memory: a logical phenomenon Causes a beatified lie; “my past was quite nice…” Because, you know, I’m always a hero, in everyone’s hearts Well, in reality, that’s all a lie But isn’t it alright, if it’s just in my dreams?
