This song just brings me to tears. The guitar, drums, bass, and the old man's voice just makes me sad and depressed. The English translation for this song means "Welcome to Loneliness" and its from the anime "Welcome to NHK" (Check it out if you haven't watched it yet!). I listen to this song whenever I have a problem. Anyway, I just wanted to share this song with you peeps. here is the English translation:
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,
knock knock knock
embracing the pitch black night sky,
traveling into the boundless universe...
welcome to 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
knock knock knock
overflowing with the heartbreak of our fantasies
a flood in my mouth and ears and eyes;
knock knock knock
because of the loss of gravity
I realize my empty uselessness...
welcome to loneliness
loneliness... loneliness
the all-pervasive media is soaked up by my brain
like Othello, while breaking up light
loneliness... loneliness
leaving everything unsaid
This song although very depressing and negative to itself in lyrics and sayings really help me go through the day, when you think that you're feeling down you'd listen to a positive happy song to cheer you up, but no I'd listen to this.
ReplyDeleteIn a way it's weird but for some odd reason when listening to this when I'm down and sad I feel much more calm and mellowed out, it feels like this song can give you space and get you that gloomy calm feeling you need to ease up your day. The NHK OST is so amazing...
