Kirito: Suicide View

07.03.06
Artist: Kirito
Title: Suicide View
Words: Kirito
Music: Kirito

a stage brightly lit
the cheering painful to hear
a virtual role model,
why does it suddenly make me want to die.

this body, wallowing in pleasure,
will meet its end, rotting like a piece of trash
that's all I could hope for out of life

what jerks up violently and slumps to the ground
is what once was my body

where can I go, what can I do
to escape here?
even though I vomit and destroy
I can't get rid of this pain that never goes away
even when I blow my brains out.
the place I was striving for
is like an eternal nightmare

time goes by and others add color to my story
making even the manner of my death beautiful

what jerks up violently and slumps to the ground
is what once was my body

where can I go, what can I do
to escape here?
even though I vomit and destroy
I won't take this pain that never goes away
no matter how many millions of times I blow out my brains
the place I found myself in,
is more like a nightmare that never stops assailing me

hello, hello, hello, how low

Translator's Notes: From the Kurt Cobain tribute CD "Last Days". This is some pretty graphic stuff. For those of you who live in a cave somewhere, Nirvana vocalist Kurt Cobain killed himself by self inflcited shotgun wound back in the early 90's. I'm not sure if he was a god-fearing man, as they say, but Kirito's lyrics suggest that he;s found himself in an unending purgatory loop of suicide and pain. The creepy closing lines of the song are taken from Niravana's breakthrough hit "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
