Being swept away by the flow as I grow accustomed to idleness,
bit by bit, I can feel myself rotting away; growing dispirited.
Even though I know what's happening;
even though I want to do something about it,
at this stage, well aahhhh...

It's troublesome; I'll just close myself off;
it's actually kinda annoying sometimes, but
all that bothersome stuff just bores me,
so, oh well, I'll just nod and play along.

Before I realize it, There's no longer a place where I could fit in.
While pretending not to notice, I put on an insincere smile and just get on with it.

Even though when I look up
the sky is so radiant; so dazzlingly bright,
like a mole, I simply
hide away and avert my gaze.
The sun casts down its irritating radiance upon us without a care;
it's so bright and dazzling that I feel like I'm melting away.

Psychology of the crowds; the concept of conformity,
the smaller voices are just trampled upon; buried within.
In the end, there's nothing we can do, right?
Thus is the king of the shadows; the minority.

[There's so much loathing in your life; you complain way too much!]
Even though someone once ridiculed and told me off like such,
it's not like I hate him all that much because of it;
I don't care enough to feel like that, rather.

Stuff like how "normalcy" is something that can be owned by everyone;
until how long can that sort of fantasy be believed?

Even though the world
sings so clearly; so vividly,
because I am but a mole,
I can neither see, nor hear.
At times, the sun whimsically spreads its dazzling smile even to me.
Please, just leave me be.
It burns you know.

Are the scenery reflected in your eyes truly so beautiful?
Someone, please, let this mole buried underneath know for sure.

I let out a sigh as I hurry and take out the trash in the morning;
the start of yet another dry, sizzling day.
As my next door neighbor hastily, suddenly comes out of her dwelling,
while passing by each other,
she smiled and said good morning.
I simply stood there without saying anything back.
Ah, what a nice weather we're having yet again today.
