OUTSIDER
東京ゲゲゲイ Lyrics

Outsider
The singer considers themselves as an outsider

やっぱりハマらないわ
They don't fit in with others

居場所なんてどこにもないわ
They don't have a place where they feel they belong

生前からずっと
They have felt this way their whole life

さみしいなんて
They have felt lonely

もう100万回くらい感じてきたの
They have felt lonely countless times

でもそっちはもっと苦しい
But for them, being different is even more painful

My name is lonely
A phrase repeating their feelings of loneliness

起立 気をつけ 礼 着席
Classroom instructions are given

質問あれば put your hands up!
They invite others to ask questions

先生いったいこれはなんの意味があって
Asking the teacher what everything means

オマエが輪を乱すから
The teacher is upset at the artist for interrupting

人という字はあーだこーだ
Debating the meaning of the character for 'human'

知るかボケ!
The teacher insults the singer

お願いだからほっといてー!
The singer is told to stop bothering the teacher

Everyone go right and left
Class activities are suggested for everyone to participate in

It's not ok to be different
The artist is told that it's not okay to be different

正しさを疑う事もなく他人に石投げ
People throw stones at others without questioning their own righteousness

ポンっ! ポンっ! ポンっ! ポンっ! ポンっ!
The sound of stones being thrown

頼んだ覚えもないのになんだか勝手にゼッケンつけられて
The artist is labeled without being asked

Let me take 外野
They want to be left alone (literally, they want to take the outfield)

しれっとリタイア
They quietly retire from things

Outsider! アーゥ!
A repetition of the title

素直じゃないねって
Others tell them that they're not obedient

言われてもこれが私なの
But they can't change who they are

どうしても愛がうざったい
They find love annoying

男らしさなんて
Gender norms for men are meaningless

女らしさなんて全ては幻
Gender norms for women are a complete illusion

普通がいいなって2千万回くらい
They have wished to be 'normal' countless times

思ってきたの
They have thought about this a lot

でもそっちはもっと退屈
But being normal would be even more boring

I wanna be an outsider, yeah
They want to embrace being an outsider

Da da da da da da da da da Outsider
A repetition of the title, with extra words
