Laughter Slaughter
Oxt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No way! What can I say?
誰が誰だって?
鏡までもが Lying to me now
Nothing in my body
乾ききった指先がまた
怪しく光り出す
Singing to the darkness 軋む音が
止まずに Deep into the darkness
頭蓋を回る
絶望の果て 真実(こたえ)なんて
意味も無くて 狂っていけ
虚空に響かす... Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
滾(たぎ)る欲望が 望むのは
阿鼻叫喚の地獄だった
救い無き世なら嗤えばいい
Laughter Slaughter

How funny it is
悲鳴こそが何より愉快さ
Why so serious?
No one is living
命乞いなんて
無様な真似に喜び悶える
Dancing in the madness
血染めの空
映した Deep into the madness
カラの瞳
全てを奪って 満たされて
腹が空けば また喰らって
埋まらぬ空洞に Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
果実の様に 柔らかに
崩れ堕ちる その生命(いのち)
あまりにも呆気なく消えてしまえ
嘆き嘆き もう聞き飽きた
嗤え嗤え 震えながら
未(いま)だ未だ 僅かに残る
正気が死ぬまで

引きずり込まれ戻れずに
足掻くほどに沈んでく
泣き喚いてたはずの声が
嗤っている
絶望の果て 真実(こたえ)なんて
意味も無くて 狂っていけ
虚空に響かす... Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh
滾(たぎ)る欲望が 望むのは
阿鼻叫喚の地獄だった




救い無き世なら嗤えばいい
Laughter...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Oxt’s song Laughter Slaughter are a reflection of the depths of despair and madness. The beginning of the song has an almost philosophical tone, questioning the truth behind appearances with lines like “No way! What can I say? 誰が誰だって? 鏡までもが Lying to me now” - meaning “Who is who? Even the mirror is lying to me now”. The desperation of the singer is palpable with the lines “絶望の果て 真実(こたえ)なんて 意味も無くて 狂っていけ” which translate to “At the end of despair, there’s no meaning to the truth (answer), go mad”. The singer is suggesting that there is no real solution to the problems he’s facing, and he should just go insane to escape the futility of trying.


As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the singer is embracing the darkness and madness that surrounds him. He talks about how funny it is to hear people scream, and how there’s nothing more delightful than madness.

The singer is caught in a cycle of despair and madness, and there seems to be no way out for him.
