I wonder what this feeling is,
that makes me irrationally upset
I coulve sworn Id supressed myself
done with this stupid work,
I follow the loop-line back home in my car.
I want to get away from it all, I want to lie down,
Complaining like that, the day comes and goes.
without soiling my hands I steal,
without getting hurt I hit
thats the key to good living
even if humanity is ugly, and life is a short affair
will you wait for a time we all love one another ?
Isnt it pointless? Childish?
Even as we know this, come along now.
Even without dreams or hope,
One day the light will show me
a place on that distant path,
until then my soul will burn.
Promises were made to be broken,
laws were meant to be violated
thats just the way it is.
If we consider worries and problems
as things that never fade in our lives, we are supermen.
I want to be proud that theres nothing to fear
and then with you, cmon lets go.
In the little bit of time leftover
flowers will bloom in the wild field
even if theres no meaning, and they go slowly
oneday theyll pass beyond the so-called borders
lets go, already!
even if theres no reward and no salvation
the steep desolate road
someday an answer will occur to me
until that day, my spirit will burn
Even without dreams or hope,
flowers will bloom in the wild field
on the far off road before me
oneday passing beyond the so-called borders
