CUTTING EDGE ∼ METAMUSE [ZOC]
CUTTING EDGE
Sick of scrolling suicide forums
Now that I met you
I’ll live my life so that
no one will be able to tell I’m like this
My bag strap gets caught in the door
of the train I was supposed to get on
Oh right, nothing matters to me
Go ahead and tear it apart
Go ahead and pass me by
Because that’s not the way I’m going
To heaven with you!
Down on my knees in this hell with a view
Below-average me
I have all the more reason to love
my rough-skinned adolescence, my stripped-away innocence
My life probably isn’t a big deal, but
GIRL AT THE EDGE I lived on the margins
I’m the CUTTING EDGE
An everlasting girls' generation, what will create the new era
isn’t a fashionable face it’s a girl like you’ve never seen before
Girl girl girl girl
Girl girl girl girl
NO NO NO NO NO
I can do it if I try and I hate that about myself
It pisses me off that you like me
This isn’t me at all
That’s right, this isn’t me at all
“Growth” is cruel Yes, I want to pay money
to watch the self-massacre show
we call “progress”
Kiss me
even if I drop dead in this hell with a view
Fall in love with
my rough-skinned adolescence, my stripped-away innocence
Telepathy with a corpse
doesn’t do it for me, BABY
GIRL AT THE EDGE Try standing in the middle
I want you to love me while I’m alive
Eternal girlhood I’ll never grow up
I won’t let you kill even a single one of the girls inside me
Down on my knees in this hell with a view
Below-average me
I have all the more reason to love
my rough-skinned adolescence, my stripped-away innocence
My life probably isn’t a big deal, but
GIRL AT THE EDGE I lived on the margins
I’m the CUTTING EDGE
An everlasting girls' generation, what will create the new era
isn’t a fashionable face it’s a girl like you’ve never seen before
Girl girl girl girl
Girl girl girl girl
NO NO NO NO NO

ZOC実験室 ∼ ZOC
ZOC実験室/ZOC JIKKENSHITSU/ZOC LABORATORY
My attacks and my magic they don’t reach you
And my feelings don’t even show up on screen
As long as I erase them before they turn into a command
It looks like there was no love to begin with
No love to begin with
You’re forever outside my zone of control
I should be able to live my life as if I don’t even know you
Easy!
I don’t play the game I don’t play the game
I don’t press start and I’m already getting withdrawals
ZOC ZOC I can see it now
ZOC ZOC I can see it now
ZOC ZOC I can see it now
ZOC ZOC I’m gonna throw up I love you
My body starts to fade If I could become
a vehicle for ads and online comments to pass through without leaving a mark
things would be much easier, wouldn’t they
You gonna betray what you believe in? You gonna bare your heart for them to drill into?
How will you take damage? Make your choice!
You’re outside my zone of control so we can never understand each other
You throw words at me like they won’t kill me, and it hurts
Not at all!
I can’t quit this game I can’t quit this game
I’m here watching myself be the main character
ZOC ZOC I can see it now
ZOC ZOC I can see it now
ZOC ZOC I can see it now
ZOC ZOC Hey bitch I’m you, aren’t I?
What I’m afraid of isn’t loneliness, it’s alienation
We have different fates and principles; I know that already
But let’s talk anyway that’s what I’m standing up for
Changing who I am inside or getting erased following my heart
I’ve chosen my successors
I don’t have any HP left
There’s a skull above my head at all times
How far can I go like this
How far will I go like this
How far
I can’t quit the human experiments I can’t quit my life
I can’t quit this game It hurts but I can’t quit
ZOC ZOC I can see it now
ZOC ZOC I can see it now
ZOC ZOC I can see it now
ZOC ZOC I can see it now
This isn’t a game This isn’t a game
So I’ll sweep you off the map
Kill, kill, kill, kill
ZOC ZOC You alive?
ZOC ZOC And that’s the character you picked?
ZOC ZOC Drag it out
“You”, and “I”, and “You”, and “You”
Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it
Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it
Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it
Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it
Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it
Kill it, kill it, kill it, kill it
Start living

魔法使いは二度死ぬ ∼ 大森靖子
魔法使いは二度死ぬ /Mahoutsukai wa nido shinu/Magicians Die Twice
Did you know? Things that aren’t good for anything are called “magic”.
Out of my cute wand comes a cute beam of hearts or stars, and my opponent loses their mind!
You’re asking what happens to my opponent?
They lose their mind! In other words, nothing happens at all.
Because magic is just magic.
I said, “Stop it already!”
I said it to myself
Because if I go any further
Things probably won’t go my way
I wish all I ever came up with
Was lies
I revealed the secrets of the universe
Those gotta be lies, otherwise I can’t, I can’t stand this
Another birth celebration, elegant, but
I shoot through the energy with my air gun
Take a little, steam it in your rice cooker, simmer, stir, and store
And when you get hungry, ping
You only liked the magic
You didn’t really like me
A soap bubble that bursts on the base wax
You just like it because it’s never coming back
Gross
But when it comes down to it, isn’t that me?
I paint the landscape, and then
Little by little I’m erased from the scene, and that’s
what is called “listening to music”
If only I’d never become a magician
If only I’d never become a magician
If only I’d never become a magician
Every day I say something like “my hobby is suicide”
This huge value extends my life by one day
I’m holding it tight so I’m not lonely
You said, “You’re wrong!”
You said, “Stop it!”
I’m not ready to disappear anyway
Because I’m not putting my life on the line
All my thoughts
Are just gibberish
So why are they coming true
I gotta hurry, rattle rattle, clatter clatter
How long have you been asleep?
Chatty rooms
Somebody’s feelings crushed under a finger heart
Splatter, spatter, I stir them around, a lethal dose of love
That’s funny that I still had such pure feelings
What I mean is “Make music!”
In the end, I can’t be anything but a magician
In the end, I can’t be anything but a magician
In the end, I can’t be anything but a magician
While my love and my labor are being abused
This huge value extends my life by one day
But even if I hold it tight I can’t overcome this
If only I’d never become a magician
If only I’d never become a magician
If only I’d never become a magician
Some stick, a fancy outfit, a tired old spell
Love and justice, the trembling of a young girl, prayer and sacrifice
I’m holding them tight so I’m not lonely
Did you know? Things that aren’t good for anything are called “magic”.
But useless things that nobody cares about
are the only things that can make my heart leap anymore.

ひらいて ∼ 大森靖子
ひらいて/hiraite/open up
i want to fall in love
i want to fall in love
i want to fall in love
this is the worst
i’m a teenage werewolf
i want to play hooky from my life
my follower count’s alright I guess
and I get away with all my lies
with social beauty
i navigate being a person
“don’t wear makeup” turns into “put some makeup on at least”
am i allowed to say i’m sad?
can i say “i want to die” about myself?
i need peoples’ sympathy is that not a feeling, maybe?
should I not put up with this, maybe? help me, or something
in the end, i don’t want to say it
my poker face is looking strained
but it’s all whatever to me
i just want to eat and fall asleep
and have a dirty dream once in a while
open up
my back
i couldn’t see it, but it’s been with me all along
open up
tear into this body
and drag out
the girl about to shed her skin
open up
if you’re going to kiss me
do it somewhere i won’t expect it
open up
the way my heart is beating right now
i want to chew on it tomorrow in my regular life
with a blank expression on my face
youth just bothers people anyway
and I don’t want to change my life for love
but I’m jealous of that girl who’s kind of a brat
and her dramatic ups and downs and how she looks cute through all of it
i wanna try being forgiven
i wanna try being loved
but in the end, i don’t like it
i’m gonna do it myself
i
open myself up
let me hurt you
your love or whatever, the annoying stuff from the bottom of your heart
open up
the darker the night gets, look
the brighter it glitters
open up i’m bored (open up!)
open up i’m bored (open up!)
open me up
open me up more
i got started a little bit, and from here on out
open me up
the way my heart is beating right now
i want to chew on it tomorrow in my regular life
wipe the blank expression off my face
i’m bored
i want to fall in love
i want to fall in love
i want to fall in love
this is the worst

VAIDOKU ∼ 大森靖子
VAIDOKU/SYPHILIS
Another empty day, the culture that makes this look worthwhile is poison
Another empty day, the workout that makes me feel like I accomplished something is poison
Another empty day, the sports game that glosses things over with adrenaline is poison
Another empty day, another empty day, another empty day
Before I’m dead and gone
may this manga find its proper end
I pretend I’m caught off guard
and flash my skin, then cry my eyes out about it all summer
As some kind of punishment, because of a sin from a past life
I go shopping in this body
and eat my way through the supermarket
until I start tasting the additives
then I flush it all away with black tea
Can you turn off the music
while I’m in prayer, please*
I’m waiting for the end
Should I not have said that?
People like us we’re no one so we do whatever
The time for love is when you’re young
and we’re killing time as strangers*
But what does it matter, it’s summer anyway
When I’m dead and gone
I’ll wish I could have loved more thoroughly
When you’re morning trading, noon can be darker than the night
We flirt and make out, then we do it right away
Is there no space in-between
Put on the music, please
I need an extension
Should I not have said that?
People like us we’re human no matter what we do
I have so much talent the whole world hates me, and it’s still not enough
Another empty day, the culture that makes this look worthwhile is poison
Another empty day, the workout that makes me feel like I accomplished something is poison
Another empty day, the sports game that glosses things over with adrenaline is poison
Another empty day, another empty day, another empty day
I shouldn’t have said that
Someone like me I’m no one What can I do
プレイ can be read as either „play“ or “pray”
暇つぶし (killing time) is written as 飛沫 (sea spray)ブし
