Hakusei Meaning & Lyrics (Kaiju By Me)

メルクマール祐 writes with chilling precision, describing the process of being taxidermied to maintain a perfect, unchanging appearance. The lyrics, ‘I won’t deteriorate, I won’t decay, I’ll be loved exactly as I was yesterday,’ highlight the longing for eternal admiration and the sacrifice of inner life for outer perfection. The songwriter uses raw, physical details like cotton stuffing and glass eyeballs to create a stark yet poetic metaphor.

Kusaritakunai kusaritakunaiI don’t want to rot, I don’t want to rot,
Ima no boku o tometekureplease preserve me just the way I am.
Onaka no naka o toridashiteTake out everything inside my stomach,
Kirei ni kirei ni araimasuand wash it perfectly clean.

Daremo mitaku wa nai mon nesmelly things inside, right?
Kawari ni wata o tsumekondeStuff me with cotton instead,
Panpan ni katachi o totonoeteand fix my shape until I’m perfectly plump.
Garasu no medama o hamekondeFit me with glass eyeballs,
Kawaiku sotchi o miteimasuso I can gaze adorably at you.
Itakunai yo itakunaiIt doesn’t hurt, it doesn’t hurt at all,
Mou nannimo kanjinaiI don’t feel anything anymore.

Nakami nante iranai yoI don’t need anything on the inside,
Kawa iichimai de tsunagatteruI’m held together by a single layer of skin.
Hokori ga sukoshi kabuttaraIf I get covered in a little dust,
