Retainer Supplanting His Lord

By: Misumi

Featuring KAFU


Don't categorize the life
Of the cast outside of the white line so easily
Having misplaced my textbooks somewhere,
With my knees scraped, I put my hands together

Humans made out to a narrow average
Maintain the status quo as a buffer
A life of convenience is equivalent to death
I stretched my hands out into the backstreets

There's no way around it, how many times have I conceded?
I want to have certainty, but I can't have certainty
Spit out that quivering voice of yours
Can I break apart? Go and break me apart
Will it be alright to let things change?

I
Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, it's awful!
Hate it, hate it, I mean it!
I'll crawl back up again and again
Licking my wounds with a smile, so bring on the fight!

Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it so much!
Hate it, hate it, aren't you convinced?
Cross out and get rid of all those regretful days
With that Vivid BAD favor of yours!

(HEY!)
I'm not bowing my head, I'm not kneeling down, I'm not even dreaming of surrender
The inside of my body is in your care, oh unknown past and future
This dog crouching on all fours doesn't know when to give up

Hey now, this is not how it's gotta go
Don't just laugh and settle for failure
I'm flipping the record over, my heart's burning up

Hey, how many times did you lie throughout your life?
I want to have honesty, but I can't have honesty
The unbelievable is coming to be
Can I break apart? Go and break me apart
It will be alright to let things change

I
Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it, it's awful!
Hate it, hate it, I mean it!
I'll crawl back up again and again
Licking my wounds with a smile, so bring on the fight!

Hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it so much!
Hate it, hate it, aren't you convinced?
Cross out and get rid of all those regretful days
With that Vivid BAD favor of yours!

Immersed in stunning rich colors until the moment life scatters away,
The unstoppable BPM's light, that light is waiting!

"Light Up the Fire" event song.

Note: There's a lot of them, strap in.

The original japanese title (Gekokujou), literally translates to "The low overcomes the high", though I usually see it given as "Overthrow". The term arose during the Warring States period, where it was pretty common for the daimyou to be overthrown, but also is used to refer to military officers disobeying superiors they feel are morally wrong.

"Of the cast outside of the white line so easily"; "White line" can refer to the linea alba, which is the name of a certain section of abdominal muscles.

"With my knees scraped, I put my hands together"; While the line does refer to praying, the term used here specifcally is associated with things like Hinduism and Buddhism.

"Cross out and get rid of all those regretful days"; "Cross out" is a homophone for "punishment".

"The inside of my body is in your care"; The term used here specidically refers to the zang-fu organs from traditional Chinese medicine.

"I'm flipping the record over, my heart's burning up"; "Heart" here is only referring to the heart in an anatomical sense.

Fun fact: Here's a message from An herself; "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA".
