why or why not
片霧烈火 Lyrics

To get my happiness
In pursuit of happiness

I had done everything,
I tried everything

but had done nothing
But nothing seemed to work

to be blamed and accused of.
But still faced blame and accusations

The sound of footsteps became
Noises grew louder

louder every day,
Every day it intensified

Then I noticed the fact
I finally realized

there was no time.
There was no time left

I was a believer in life
I was a hopeful person

to be myself always,
To always be true to myself

and was asking
I questioned

whether I would be alive.
If I would survive

Give me a reason
Tell me a justification

why not to adopt in this way,
Why I shouldn't do it this way

or judge me to be guilty of
Or find me guilty of

so many incurable sins.
So many unforgivable sins

Tell me why, or why not.
Give me a reason or not to do it

Complaining way too much,
I complain excessively

maybe I overlooked something
Perhaps I missed something

fatal for me.
Deadly for me

The whole world was
The entire world was

at a complete standstill,
At a complete halt

and I was in fetters,
And I was in chains

at the mercy of the mob.
Subject to the mob's mercy

The silent warning became
A quiet warning grew

louder every day.
Louder every passing day

Then I kept pretending
Then I kept pretending

not to hear.
To not hear or pay attention

Its meaning had been in the eyes
I had been blind to its meaning

of beholder all along.
Which was clear to everyone else

It had grown dark
It had turned dark

before I found a sign.
Before finding a way out

"Among the nonsense tragedies,
Among all the meaningless tragedies

what on earth you are
What possibly could you be

looking for?
Searching for?

You only have to be honest
Just be truthful

to yourself and your own fate."
To yourself and your destiny

There is nobody who knows
There is no one who knows

there will be nobody.
There will be no one left

Except for me,
Only I do

all the world has gone mad.
The whole world has gone insane

So what is forgiveness
So what is forgiveness

you are willing to withhold?
That you refuse to give?

What is the well-being
What is the meaning

you are willing to make?
You wish to achieve?

Now what? So what?
So what? What now?

Don't you come interrupt me,
Don't interrupt me

oh please,
Please don't

while I am interrupting myself.
While I'm lost in my own thoughts
