JJJ tells the story of a broken key in a lock. The line translates as like a broken key in a lock. The artist mentions a taxi on the way home, fireworks over a river, and rain like words that fall.
Anata o omouI think of you.
Kono jigoku ikiru imi o urouI search for a reason to live in this hell.

F#ckin my lowMy low moments are rough.
Akashita asa we killin itBy morning light, we’re killing it.
Kanata omouI think of the distance.
I spit it my flowI spit my flow.
Kagiana sashite oreta you niLike a key snapped off in a lock,
Nokoru itami to dosewith the lingering pain and the dose.
We livin itWe’re living it.
