NHK?

[laurel_sea]

Been watching "Welcome to the NHK", an anime about hikokomori. Japanese folks that kind of become shut-ins due to a variety of reasons. Thought the lyrics were interesting...

I also realized today that Will (Orlando Bloom) in Pirates of the Carribean really does not have a body build which is classically associated with blacksmiths. Oh well.


like my dreams are a tent I'm turning inside out
the pattern made of happier times becomes plain and boring again
just like paper rots and turns yellow
all my words freeze up inside this machine

knock knock knock
embracing a silent space,
hitting the walls uselessly,
leaving everything unsaid

knock knock knock
embracing the pitch black night sky,
traveling into the boundless universe...
welcome to loneliness
loneliness... loneliness

at the city left at the bottom of the sea
your smile disappears into a green shadow
you speak to me only of regrets
like Othello, while breaking up light

knock knock knock
overflowing with the heartbreak of our fantasies
a flood in my mouth and ears and eyes;
the all-pervasive media is soaked up by my brain

knock knock knock
because of the loss of gravity
I realize my empty uselessness...
welcome to loneliness
loneliness... loneliness
