プロトタイプな凍えた雨と、痂だらけの羊達
ROUAGE Lyrics

The lyrics of ROUAGE's song プロトタイプな凍えた雨と、痂だらけの羊達 (Prottotaipu na kogoeta ame to, kabi darake no hitsudan) speak of a longing to feel loved and understood. The singer implores their beloved to reach out to them with gentleness and understanding, since they can no longer keep up appearances in this harsh world where no one seems to understand them. The lines "マトモなままではいられない (matomo na mama de wa irarenai)" roughly translated to "I cannot continue being normal" suggest that the singer has been struggling with the pressure to conform and be "matomo" or normal. They ask their love to see them for who they really are and to comfort them with their gentle touch.

The second half of the song speaks of the night turning into freezing rain and snow, and the sheep dreaming. The chorus repeats the plea to be touched tenderly and to feel the love of the lover. The line "幾千粒　疼くひとに　キミがフレルすべてに (ikusen tsubu uzuku hito ni kimi ga fureru subete ni)" means "To the one with thousands of aching grains, and to everything that you touch." The singer searches for something or someone that can make them feel alive, and they believe that their love is the one to do so. In its entirety, the lyrics of the song express the deep yearning for connection, understanding and compassion.
