狂った果実
アリス Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Kurutta Kajitsu" (Crazy Fruit) by the Japanese band アリス (Alice). The song reflects on the struggles and emotions of the singer, who feels trapped in a chaotic and unforgiving world.

The lyricist begins by describing a winter rain that wets their shoulders, and the passing cars that splash mud around. They contemplate chasing after those cars and getting into a fight, thinking that it might temporarily distract them from their troubled heart. However, they acknowledge that the crazy fruit within them doesn't fit well with the clear sky above. The memory of their mother's trembling voice when they left home echoes in their ears, both softly and loudly. The lyrics also mention a broken highlighter in their pocket, which they couldn't bring themselves to use, and a half-eaten apple that they throw forcefully into the darkness of the city. They express an inability to ask for forgiveness from their current self, while the knife they threw away turns into the sound of a dial spinning. The lyrics express a desire to hear a voice that they would like to engrave once again, even if only for one more time.

The second paragraph reflects on the singer's perspective on life. They state that while they don't regret being born, the harshness of the times makes it difficult to live a happy life. They believe that living in a half-hearted manner is necessary for survival in the present era, acknowledging the compromises they have to make. Despite the madness within them, they still have dreams, but if those dreams are just fantasies, they contemplate remaining silent. At least until their heart feels like it's tearing apart, they believe that silence holds the truth.
