Neet
Jinmenusagi • From “Alxve”
What is the meaning of Neet Lyrics from Alxve?
Jinmenusagi writes about his transformation from a ‘good kid’ to someone who ‘mastered the subway and the beat.’ The performer mentions a ‘mosquito’s buzz’ to describe the noise he ignores. His lyrics translate as ‘Ignore the mosquito buzz and just fly.’
Ore wa Tokyo-to no neetI’m a NEET from the Tokyo metro area.
Norikonasu chikatetsu toka beatI’ve mastered the subway and the beat.
Mukashi ii ko de burikkoI used to be a good kid, just playing the part,
Kedo tokkuni suttenai weedbut I’ve long since stopped smoking ‘w#ed’.
Pakurareru no wa style dake ni shiyouLet’s make sure only my style gets stolen.
Sou kimete kara moyashita Merry-goSince I decided that, I’ve burned down the ‘merry-go-round’.
Kikoete kuru noise mosquito onI hear the noise, like a mosquito’s buzz,
Mushi shite fly, ah ah ah ahso I just ignore it and fly, ah ah ah ah.
Kore kiita yatsu Thanks no kubi toTo those who heard this, thanks, and to the ‘neck’ of the beat,
Machigau hodo futoi oto Sweet Willythis sound is so thick you’d mistake it, Sweet Willy.
Kotoba no knife giko-giko shimasenI won’t saw at you with a dull knife of words,
Jimesagi kireaji ii zo you get it?Jinmenusagi’s edge is sharp, you get it?
Imaichi ni san shi go no yakara gaThose mediocre guys, one, two, three, four, five,

Akkaji kaita jinsei omoshirokuI’m making my life of debt and deficit interesting,
Nekasete kakiokosu Yamaoka Shiroletting it rest then waking it up like ‘gourmet hero’ Shiro Yamaoka.

Jiga zen mashi-mashi gito-gitoMy ego is at full throttle, extra greasy,
