Hello World
REDALiCE feat. 野宮あゆみ Lyrics

Hello cruel world, so this is you
Addressing the world as cruel and acknowledging its true nature for the first time

A broken heart, but with a view
Although feeling heartbroken, able to perceive the beauty in life

I'm looking out to face another day
Preparing to confront the challenges of a new day

The angry mob, the happy mass
Referring to different groups of people with varying emotions

This birthday cake may be the last
Fearing that life is uncertain and this could be the last birthday celebrated

I'm looking out to find another way
Seeking an alternative path or solution to face a difficult situation

Norman Rockwell colors fade
Reference to how the artist's paintings don't reflect the current reality

All my favorite things have changed
Things once loved and cherished are no longer the same or have been lost completely

Well, what the hell
Expression of frustration or disbelief over changing circumstances

I thought I heard an opera star
Imagining hearing something beautiful and rare in the midst of chaos

Who had no home under the stars
A star without a home to perform in or a place to belong

She sang and sang and sang the night away
A beautiful voice filling the night, bringing peace and solace to the turbulent world

And Mother Nature changed her name
The world's natural balance has been disrupted and altered in profound ways

She doesn't want to play the game
The natural world can no longer participate in the human-made game of destruction

I don't believe she'll ever be the same
The damage done to nature is irreversible and will have long-lasting effects

So Big Brother never came
A reference to the novel 1984, where the government watches and controls the citizens, but here that dystopia has not come to pass

Howdy Doody gets the blame
Blaming a character from a popular TV show as a way to avoid taking responsibility for the world's problems

Bad and beautiful and strange
Describing the world in three simple words highlighting the complexities and contradictions of life

Monkeys dancing in a cage
An image of confinement and captivity, where the monkeys are a metaphor for humans trapped in societal norms

Venus DeMilo grew an arm
A sculpture, known for missing arms, has somehow grown one, representing how impossible things can sometimes happen

And Old MacDonald bought the farm
A play on words referencing death, where an old farmer has passed away

Say goodbye
Recognizing endings and the pain that accompanies them

Hello cruel world
Echoing earlier sentiments and acknowledging the harsh reality once again

Hello, hello...
Repeating the phrase for emphasis and perhaps an attempt to find some sort of connection in the chaos
