Shiozuka replied in an interview that it would be cool if the word "sheep" was included in both English and Japanese, and that "literature" was connected to express a big world view that is not limited to music by name. In another interview, she named it "sheep" because she likes the band S.R.S who used sheep for album artwork, and said that "literature" was good because he wanted to express a feeling like Sigur Rós.

羊文学 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ついに朝まで君と話した
他愛もないことばかり
笑い合ううちに眠りについた
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
君はどんな奇跡をここに望むの?
たったひとつの小さな嘘が
心の奥で消えてゆくように
そっと おやすみ
The lyrics to 羊文学's song 予感 describe a night filled with a sense of impending doom and anxiety, followed by a conversation with someone until dawn. Despite the tension of the previous evening, they discuss trivial things and end up laughing together until they fall asleep. The chorus then presents an interesting hypothetical question: if magic existed, what miracle would the singer wish for the person they are speaking with? The final lines of the song express a desire for a small lie to disappear gently within the depths of the heart.
The lyrics of 予感 explore themes of anxiety, fear, and the power of small connections. The emphasis on the mundane and the hypothetical both work together to emphasize the importance of the present moment and the potential for change. The use of magical concepts allows the songwriter to express a sense of longing, while the final line about a small lie fading away suggests a willingness to be honest and reflective.
