Samsa

By: Teniwoha

Featuring Miku


I daringly wield that kitsch rubi
On my own worn-out name
I have become so terrifying down to my core
That I could defeat nobility
How do I look like now?
Am I unsightly? Of course I am
"I beg you, please don't throw the apples at me."
They Lock up, Lock up to themselves--
Samsa

"Look at the mirror," someone whispers
If it all works out, everybody wins
Neither sweet words nor a smile will work
If I start to run, I've become a beast
I've thought about it as I wandered around
Under the moon, all night long
"Which finger should I hold up to my nightmares?"

It throbs, throbs, throbs (I throb in pain)
It aches, aches, aches (it aches, aches)
It throbs, throbs, throbs (I throb in pain)
It throbs, throbs, it aches
Change... (Throbbing, throbbing, throbbing painfully...)

Everyone barely escapes with their souls
It throbs, throbs, throbs
Eaten away by all the pain and the wranglers--taratta
But even so, I wonder why it still
Throbs, throbs, throbs
Dragging along their gaudy tail,
Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa

Don't say that you've given up on reality, Samsa!
Oh, yeah

(It throbs, throbs, throbs...)
Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa
(It throbs, throbs, throbs...)

"I'm sorry. I couldn't live up to your standards in the least"
Tell that to them
The ghost that I am behaves like a human
From wanting a smile, even if it's a negative one
All I did was acknowledging my own whines
Of course, I couldn't even have a proper fight with you

It throbs, throbs, throbs (I throb in pain)
It aches, aches, aches (it aches, aches)
It throbs, throbs, throbs (I throb in pain)
It throbs, throbs, it aches
It seems I can't change, no, no

It's not a joke! Don't eat my dreams away!
It throbs, throbs, throbs
I sang all my chic despair--taratta
Even if I'll become a shadow of my former self
It throbs, throbs, throbs
Someday it'll become a lovely song
Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa

Hey, fly away on the count of three,
Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa
Kick away every last single thing,
Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa
If you run away at this point,
These days truly won't be mentioned in the postscript

Everyone barely escapes with their souls
It throbs, throbs, throbs
Eaten away by all the pain and the wranglers--taratta
But even so, I wonder why it still
Throbs, throbs, throbs (throbbing painfully)
It's as if you're biting into the apple, Sa-sa-Samsa

Even if I'll become a shadow of my former self, I'm right here
Even if I'm poisoned by the fringed iris
The light is there, at 1 a.m.
Now drag along your tail,
Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa

So don't say that you've given up on reality, Samsa!
Okay?

(It throbs, throbs, throbs...)
Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa
(It throbs, throbs, throbs...)
(It throbs, throbs, throbs...)
Sa-sa-sa-sa-Samsa
(It throbs, throbs, throbs...)

It throbs.

"immiscible discord" event song.

Note: The title (and possibly song itself) is a reference to The Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka, specifically taking its name from the protagonist, Gregor Samsa. This is the book where a guy wakes up having been turned into a bug.

"Even if I'm poisoned by the fringed iris"--From what I can find, fringed iris flowers can symbolize "rebellion" and "having many friends".
