Hated by Life Itself English Version

"Don't you wish for death when you're feeling weak!

Hardships aren't as hard as they seem to be!"

…Sure, say that all you want, you're not fooling me

With those words you never mean.

While I don't care to die, I don't mind a bit

But someone I love? …God, I think I'd wish I did

I suppose "Because I won't like it"

Is all my ego is.

Happy to gaze upon the pain of the haven't-met,

Cowering in our hatred has become a fashion trend

Even so, we're supposed to "live a peaceful life"?

Even though I bet it's nice, I bet we've tried.

Someone succumbs behind the colors of the monitor

Deep in grief, another weeps by singing in their honor

Hearing that song, a humming young boy wandered

Off with a knife and an offer.



Everybody hated well by life itself, we'll never know

Why they force code and ego on the radio.

Day-to-day, they're singing out "I'll take you down", but then again,

Who takes when they're really being generous?

Everybody hated well by life itself, we'll never know

Why "I want to die" is treated like another joke.

That world where we see the worth in growing old,

Anybody hated well by life itself will never know.



Penniless again, through the day anew,

I decide to praise the lazy and sing out of tune

Lost upon life's meaning, I take in the truth,

Breathe and see there isn't anything I'm meant to do.

Would these wounds be better off expressed

With the lowly illustration "I'm so lonely" suggests?

Shouldering nothing but this stubbornness,

I'm nothing but alone when I go to bed

Kids with passion to play make-believe will

Become young adults with a will to achieve.

As we age, there comes a day we fester like a falling leaf,

Carried down without a clue to prove we ever breathed…

Breathing on for centuries in a deathless design,

Bored for eternity, the only to survive…

…These are the kinds of sci-fi dreams always on my mind.



Numb to the pain, can I die? Though I'm not afraid,

All the same, I have to pay attention to the hearts I'd break

Lost in conflicting thoughts, I'm sure they'd have a lot to say

Yes, I can guess what they'd convey:

"Perfect things need to stay as perfect as they always were."

"If you can't confront demise, then live the life you don't deserve."

Since we're bound to end up sad and back to being hurt,

We should laugh with the friends we lack forever



Everybody hated well by life itself, we'll never know

Why we claim to get the happiness we haven't shown.

Angered by our past hands, past, as we complain aloud,

We smile while pretending that we're better now

Everybody hated well by life itself, we'll never know

Why "So long" took on the meaning of "I wanna go".

That time where "Goodbye" implied "For now, I hope"

Anybody hated well by life itself will never know.



Contentment and exits, affection and friendships-

They're gifts you can get for your money

…Within but a whimsical fantasy.

I could be dead tomorrow, yet I'm sure in some way,

When I go, I'll get to know my life was such a waste.

Through daylight and stardom, through springtime and autumn,

We die everyday, and that's exactly why I chase

No wishes or visions; since all I can afford

Is protecting your life, I ask for that and nothing more.

Of course… That's surely

All I'll ever need to sing for.



Hated well by life itself, we'll never know

What makes the meaning matter when we die alone.

It'll taint you, it'll taint two,

Soon enough, the rest of us will sink like a leaf into

Anywhere we know it's not for naught, 'cause we don't stop

Going out and off, always giving everything we got

To killing, to kicking, to grinning, to gritting,

Living, living, living, living,

Living on.

I.finally.found.it.

I've been trying to find this song for about a month. Only parts of the chorus were stuck in my head. If I could leave this as a song for everyone who's ever known me, I would:

This song breaks me:

 

[Hornyaboutdeath]

Loneliness

 

[Bauhaus]

Suicide is an urban disease
Spread by people and places like these
A quick self destruct from the 21st floor
A smell of gas through the kitchen door
A stab in the back from the workers and bosses
They're counting their gains as you count your losses
As you count your losses
Blow the world apart with the press of a button
We all say it shouldn't but we know it will happen
Again and again like the rain and the ark
Onwards forever eternally dark
Eternally dark
The grit in your eye soon enters your heart
And all that was strength is just falling apart
We're jumping from one bed and into another
Searching for something that we'll never discover
Never discover
So we go on breeding - breeding contempt
From all of the repression that this has meant
If the bombs and the fire don't instantly kill
Then the greed from the ashes certainly will
Certainly will
This place is not my place
This place is not yours
We're set on self destruct
For no reason or cause
If the bombs and the fire don't instantly kill
Then the greed from the ashes certainly will
Certainly will

[blackcatnash]

Geometric blood splatters
On a fresh white t-shirt

The ecstasies of death
You can smell it in the air

Erotic wounds
Deformed sculptures
Erotic wounds
A beating ulcer

This one tears me up every time I listen to it, 'cause I can relate so much...

Some people say that I'm a melancholy man
When all is said and done
It's just the way I am
The sun is blazing as I wander into town
A long grey overcoat which trails along the ground
And when I'm walking past the children in the park
They stop their games, they shout my name
And run behind my back
If only they could see how happy I can be
But sometimes they must look away
Or so it seems to me
I think I'll always be a melancholy man
I know when all is said and done
It's just the way I am
But if you have the time
Please listen while you can
Does anybody understand?
I'll always be a melancholy man

The sky is blue today
Here in your nowhere land
And how are you today, my melancholy man?
You saw us looking through a window of a bus
We smiled at you but you didn't smile at us
And when you're old and grey
Your days are at an end
You'll wish that you had somone who
You couls call a friend
Yet only I can see how happy you can be
Oh sometimes they must look away
Or so it seems to me
I think I'll always be a melancholy man
I know when all is said and done
It's just the way I am
But if you have the time
Please listen while you can
Does anybody understand?
I'll always be a melancholy man

When all is said and done, my melancholy man
The sky is blue today, my melancholy man
'And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry starry night
You took your life as lovers often do
But I could have told you, Vincent
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you'
As beautiful as you, my melancholy man

 

[Caenis1999]

If you are the dealer
Let me out of the game
If you are the healer
I'm broken and lame
If thine is the glory
Mine must be the shame
You want it darker

Hineni, hineni
Hineni, hineni
I'm ready, my Lord
