Hanaze, shiteimasu (Why am I?)
Anata no nishi naide kudasai (Please do not be..)
(The) search for these years is in vain.
(Shite kudasai) x 2 (Please be [exist])
I live in a golden age to achieve.
Why am I here?
Please, don't be (vocative)
The search for these years is in vain.
Please, be (vocative)
In this gilded age of attainment I live (or continue to...) [though I live for atonement]
Lyrics translated from an anonymous Japanese tanka from the 21st century.

What have I to say, that
isn't already writ upon epitaphs
of the oeurves, of Rilke,
sounds a thousand times sweeter
of Ionescu, of Pessoa
furies a hundred times more biting
but a death of my own, only
to contribute?
An ode to my influences.

(Names of the sections in the song) This pitiful extension we hold so dear.. Vital termination, an end of its means.. Spite a contemporary, worship ancient decay.. vainglory hurdles men over themselves! What is left of me but a stem.. Detached from reality, attached to probes--sanity pickled in a vat.. Seriatim shocks sent down a spine..A corporeal non-existence called into play.. Abicere.. These fingers I realize I never really had these limbs I realize..
