Breath
M.I.H. Lyrics

Why was it that you think you went in different directions?
Asking about the reason behind the deviation from a common path.

Well I think it was my father and his influence and his values that he sort of pushed onto me
Father shaped his thoughts, behavior, and decisions according to his own values.

You know you're the oldest son You've got to take care of your heritage Your family
Being the firstborn son comes with the responsibility of continuing the family legacy, tradition, and pride.

I don't care how His manner is unemotional and detached And he speaks with the brevity of a professional
Maintaining a professional attitude and not getting emotional is paramount when discharging the duties assigned to him, regardless of the method used.

I don't enjoy risking my life but if the cause was right I would a So you felt like you were doing the right thing I always felt like I was doing the right thing Even if it was wrong, I always felt like I was doing the right thing
Risking life was not a pleasure but a necessary step in the pursuit of a just cause, with a firm conviction in doing the right thing irrespective of the outcome.

I had to do it So it felt like a duty No An obligation A duty No An obligation
The task was not enjoyable but rather a duty and an obligation to be performed without any emotional attachment.

Was the next time easier Well it's sort of like a lawyer trying his first case It's difficult but the next case is easier And then you keep going and it gets easier and easier Doing this is harder than that Why Doing this is harder than that Doing this is harder than that Why Why Why Why
Compared to the first time, subsequent attempts at a similar task are easier with time, but the task becomes even more difficult as the responsibility increases.

Then it gets easier I guess, as you go Did you keep count of how many people you killed No never Why Until the end I never realized it was that many Do you have a number A lot of people would say you're a serial killer I'm a vigilante Not a serial killer Serial killers enjoy it You have to stop them they'll never stop I never enjoyed it
Over time, handling the task becomes simpler, but the realization of the scale of the consequences only dawns on him later. He never kept a count but being a vigilante and not a serial killer was his firm belief, since the former acted out of necessity and a sense of justice rather than pleasure as the latter did.
