What is ×?

What is ×? Lyrics English Translation by Meiyo Densetsu
Kessaku sings about a world that rejects imperfection, using the Venus de Milo as a symbol. He notes how people call the statue a ‘defective product’, just for missing arms. The lyrics describe faces forced to change, and days when being yourself isn’t enough. ‘You’d probably label a life with limits as an inferior species’ cuts deep.
Miro no viinasu o mireba kimi wa “kekkanhin” to kenasu darouIf you look at the Venus de Milo, you’d probably dismiss it as a ‘defective product’.
Kiken shisou no akuma ni okasare okasareYou’ve been completely corrupted by the demons of dangerous ideologies.
Ki ga tsukeba suunen mae karaBefore I knew it, for the past few years,
Tayousei ga iki o shite inaidiversity hasn’t been able to breathe.
Idenshi no deeta de ranku o tsukeru sabetsu ga gimuka shiteru karaBecause discrimination that ranks us by genetic data has become mandatory,
Henkei sezaru o enai Facewe have faces that are forced to be modified,
Genkei ja aisarenai daysand days when we aren’t loved in our original forms.
Naishin no jiyuu kara hyappo fumidashiteru honnouOur instincts are stepping a hundred paces away from the freedom of our inner thoughts.
I’m so sad I’m so sadI’m so sad, I’m so sad,
24hours 24hourstwenty-four hours, twenty-four hours.
What is X? Who is X? What is X?What is X? Who is X? What is X?
Miro no viinasu o mireba kimi wa “kekkanhin” to kenasu darouIf you look at the Venus de Milo, you’d probably dismiss it as a ‘defective product’.
Kiken shisou no akuma ni okasareta kimi ni oto o narasuI’ll play a sound for you, who are infected by the demons of dangerous ideologies.
Rekoodo no kuudou o kimi wa “kekkanhin” to kenasu darouYou’d probably dismiss the empty hole in a vinyl record as a ‘defective product’.
Rikai funou na kimi ni wa shirokujichuu listening timeFor you who can’t understand, it’s listening time around the clock.
Karamitsuku juukou na painA heavy pain entangles me,
Atama ni loop chuushou no phrasewhile phrases of slander loop endlessly in my head.
Aka no tanin ga daita risou oThe ideals held by complete strangers
Takaraka ni utaiagete shintouare sung out loud and permeate through us all.
Kikakugai ni mujou na monsterAn irregularly heartless monster,
Jikaku nai kodomo ni modottaI’ve returned to being an unaware child.
Kono uta wa mellow na flow jaIf this song is just a mellow flow,
Kimi ni todokanaindathen it won’t ever reach you.
It’s all right it’s all rightIt’s all right, it’s all right,
It’s a lie it’s a lieit’s a lie, it’s a lie.
I’m so sad I’m so sadI’m so sad, I’m so sad,
24hours 24hourstwenty-four hours, twenty-four hours.
This is O That is O This is O It’s all goodThis is O, that is O, this is O, it’s all good.
What is X? Who is X? What is X?What is X? Who is X? What is X?
Sukoshi kaketa tsuki ni fuzei kimi ni nante rikai dekinai darouYou probably can’t understand the elegance of a slightly waning moon.
Fukanzen na mono de wa minogasenai kimi ni oto o narasuI’ll play a sound for you, who can’t just let incomplete things slide.
Kagiri aru seimei o kimi wa “rettooshu” to nazuketaroYou’d probably label a life with limits as an ‘inferior species’.
Noizu o hibikaseru kimi wa Shut up! break timeYou, echoing all that noise, just shut up! It’s break time.
Kimi wa beautiful kimi wa beautifulYou are beautiful, you are beautiful.
Happy na kotoba de unhappy ni nattariSometimes you become unhappy from happy words,
Furecha No No No No sensai na karada niso don’t touch it, no, no, no, no, on this delicate body.
Yubi ippon mo furete wa ikenai Get out!You can’t even lay a single finger on it, get out!
Miro no viinasu o mireba kimi wa “kekkanhin” to kenasu darouIf you look at the Venus de Milo, you’d probably dismiss it as a ‘defective product’.
Kiken shisou no akuma ni okasareta kimi ni oto o narasuI’ll play a sound for you, who are infected by the demons of dangerous ideologies.
Rekoodo no kuudou o kimi wa “kekkanhin” to kenasu darouYou’d probably dismiss the empty hole in a vinyl record as a ‘defective product’.
Rikai funou na kimi ni wa shirokujichuu listening timeFor you who can’t understand, it’s listening time around the clock.
Shirokujichuu listening timeListening time around the clock.
