Lyrics
I can do it myself.
Hey, wolf boy,
look, you blew it down, get a clue.
Blunt, objectionable, decency = respectability
There's nothing in particular you're protecting, now.
Hey, little red riding hood, your granny's already dead (gabi-n)
"you were stupid for believing" said with a tough hide
distrust in humanity, suspicion, cautiousness?
You should've believed in yourself first.
Wolf in sheep's skin1
It's not that I like being alone. It's not that I like solitude.
Because I live without being liked
by anyone.
I live without being loved.
Let's enjoy isolation. Maharikumaharita
Let's enjoy being aloof. Yanbarayanyan.
I'm not scared of wolves, I'm NOT scared. If you say you're not scared then you're not scared.
So, I will pull out your mom from the goat while it is sleeping.2
By cesaerian section.
Even though no clouds came out. 3
It's not that I like being alone. It's not that I like solitude.
Because I live without being liked
by anyone.
I live without being loved.
I live without hurting anyone. No one, not him...not him, not them.
"Independence is not ashamed in the shadows" this, is how I make a point of being different and better than most.4
Notes:
1. Original text "un loup deguise en brebis" is French. (literally: "a wolf desguised as a ewe."...Miyavi, what's "deguise?"). He probably meant to say "déguisé"
2. Yes, he said goat. I think you get the pun... you'd have to be braindead to not realize he'd really talking about the wolf.
3. A goat's stomach has a lot of gas in it (from the fermentation processes that happen when it digests its food, just like cow's) so when you cut a REAL goat, a cloud of gas (I think it's methane) puffs out of its stomach. (Here's some info on that: http://www.ansci.cornell.edu/4H/meatgoats/meatgoatfs14.htm)
4. This whole line is in Chinese. I tried to use my own knowledge of characters, and with the help of Babelfish (as much as I hate that thing) that's what I could get. Another option i came up with was "The alone and independent do not sit in the shade" is why I play this lonely song alone." If you speak Chinese, help me out, please, or at least cut me some slack, ok? That goes for the French-speaking people too. m(._.)m gomen
