Akagi
Maximum the Hormone Lyrics

The lyrics of Maximum The Hormone's Akagi are a vivid depiction of chaos, madness, and recklessness. The song urges the listener to let go of their inhibitions and embrace their primal instincts. The opening lines, "Utsukumiki konya chi wo kuu, Aogake ten wo kuu" roughly translate to "Looking down tonight, devouring the earth, looking up, devouring the sky." This image signifies the idea of going beyond the mundane and embracing an animalistic nature. The next line, "Saa, sarakedase kyouki no me," translates to "Now, expose the bud of madness." It urges the listener to let go of their fears and embrace their darker side.

The lyrics then take a turn towards a more violent and graphic imagery. "Noura chie no oowarai" depicts a person with an abnormal brain and a wicked sense of humor. "Honno ni mouaku life" suggests living life with intense passion and disregard for safety. The repeated chant of "Hoku hoku hoku suteriya pon ja, egetsu kanajya" (cast off north, Pon, Wealth-hunter) implies leaving everything behind and focusing on the primal need for survival.

The next section of the song describes a game of life and death. The line "Kiga mu gachuu no bureikou, bureikasu koroshi ai" suggests that the game is a free-for-all where the rules of logic and reason no longer apply. The line "Doriimatchi ama tai puro anbiribabo" suggests a free and unconventional match between amateurs and professionals. The lyrics suggest that the game is a grand spectacle, a new face defense, and an exciting match. The closing lines, "Ore wa naze, naze iku? Sore wa ore no kage, Nariyamanai ore no kaze," suggest a person's shadow and wind never leaving them, possibly implying that their primal and animalistic tendencies will always be with them.
