World Lampshade
Ryo-kun Lyrics

I′ve forgotten how to smile or how to make mistakes,
The singer has lost the ability to both express joy and accept imperfections.

Even if I were to turn to dust by touching you, I wouldn't mind.
The singer is so enamored with the person they are addressing, that even death seems like an acceptable outcome.

So you said, and then...
The singer introduces a turn of events.

You, who cursed this world, learnt how to smile well
Despite the negative outlook on the world, the person the artist is addressing has learned to smile genuinely and effectively.

And began to hate yourself so much that watching you was far too painful
The person the artist is addressing has become so consumed with self-loathing that even the artist finds it difficult to witness.

I hate hypocrisy, so I just stay out of people′s way, invisible
The singer values authenticity and cannot tolerate insincerity, thus choosing to remain unseen and uninvolved.

And wanting to confirm my existence, I let a single chord ring out...
The singer desires validation and acknowledges the significance of being acknowledged.

"Everything, in this world is a lie"; that's what god told me
The artist expresses a profound realization that everything in the world is false and insubstantial.

With this worn out, rattling rib cage, if I call your name
The artist emphasizes their own fragility and vulnerability while expressing the desire to address the person they love.

A sound of 36° will surely burn within you
The artist believes their own presence has the ability to greatly impact the person they are addressing, influencing them positively and creating a lasting impression.

Trying to see what I can't, pretending not to see what I can
The singer acknowledges the conflict between their desire for knowledge and the fear or discomfort that holds them back.

Selfish people like us, probably can't even breathe when we're all alone; I came to understand that
The artist recognizes their own imperfections and tendency towards self-centeredness, realizing that their existence is dependent on the presence of others.

I didn't notice that you, who found the real me, was going to fly away into the black sky
The singer has not fully appreciated the person they are addressing, failing to recognize their departure and the impact it will have on the singer.

Let go of the gloomy past, release it and smile, please?
The singer encourages the person they are addressing to move on from negative experiences and embrace positivity.

Lighting up this worthless, hopeless world with a lamp
The singer aspires to bring light and hope to a world they view as bleak and meaningless.

I turn to ash and mix with the rain that pours down on you
The artist views themselves as insignificant in comparison to the person they love, longing to be a part of their world even in a minor way.

It's alright, even if it all falls apart, this time I'll definitely tell you
The artist assures the person they love that they will confess their feelings definitively, even if everything else fails.

So don't forget, okay? My 36° breathing quickens
The singer emphasizes the importance of being remembered by the person they love, expressing an intensified emotional response to their presence.
