Bump of Chicken: Guild

Artist: Bump of Chicken Title: Guild Words: Fujiwara Motoh Music: Fujiwara Motoh how long has it been since you were given this job "to be human"? it doesn't feel like you've ever been adequately paid for your services. somewhere along the way you realized your error, you understood 'it wasn't a job' but it was too late, now you could only see it as a job. it doesn't make you sad, just tired "let me rest", who do you think you can ask that of? What was taken from you, and what did you take? going through your routines, you've forgotten little by little. was it the world or you who got dirty? whichever, you should open your eyes. it's all part of our maddeningly straightforward lives. the starving husk, waits patiently to be fed "won't someone care for me", it tells no one, only thinks it. how long has it been since you were let go from your job "to be human"? you'd hoped you could just get by with hard work and sweat. you recalled many things I wonder if you can face up to all those dazzling things? eventhough life isn't beautiful, nor can you live it mildly will you still be allowed to keep breathing? half hearted attempts to smile, crying before the mirror Isn't it obvious? You don't realize it because you're hiding it. a life that just goes from morning to night. howling to be loved, afraid to be loved you take refuge in the cage, I'll pull you out through the space between the bars. admit that you're dirty, the world is all yours. It doesn't matter, you're meant to live as you are. it's all part of our maddeningly straightforward lives. given and then released from this job, how long has it been? what have you been doing? It's what you wanted. It's what you chose. You understood, "it's not a job" Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma Translator's Notes: A guild is like a club for groups of people with the same job.
