No
라엘 (Ra.L) Lyrics

The song "No" by Ra.L is a contemplation on the uncertainty and desperation of life. The lyrics ask the listener to consider their options and choose a path to follow in the face of an uncertain future. The first verse suggests that despite the multitude of potential paths that one may choose, only the final choice is truly important, implying that the singer may be seeking power or control. The second verse poses a question about what is trustworthy: the anesthesia that may help to alleviate fear, or the person that the singer is addressing. The third verse suggests that no matter who you are, the future comes with equal opportunity for both success and failure.

Throughout the song, the repeated phrase "死の灰か何か?" or "shinohai ka nanika?", which can be translated as "is it ashes of death or something else?" or "what is it - death or something else?" serves as a refrain, a reminder of the inevitability of death that hangs over everyone. However, the song doesn't succumb to despair, instead offering the possibility of hope and redemption. The singer suggests that even in a world filled with decay and repetition, we can still strive for miracles and laughter. The closing refrain, asking who will be the one to laugh last, is an invitation to keep pushing forward and never lose hope.
