Traffic jam

"There is no such thing as no accident and no violation."


(Ha ha, Shut up.)

Oh no, oh no, it’s a collision! Who's at fault?
Click, click, the flash went off -- well, it's kind of pathetic
Would hanging yourself be a good apology? Would your parents forgive you for dying before them?
Or not? Are you cornered? Can you run away like the coward you are?

Oh no, not again -- another collision! The traffic light is blinking red
Who's at fault this time? It doesn't matter who
It's, uh...that guy's fault!
Fuck compromises!
It's do or die, but don't get carried away
'S not our problem, right?
The wholesaler won't sell stuff like this

Deuce Deuce Deuce!
Til you die
Til I die
We won't call off the fight due to injury
Deuce Deuce Deuce!
Til our veneers peel off
Til morning comes
Let's you and me swap spit

Oh, how sad -- tragic things just keep happening, don't they?
It's good that this truly selfish soul was given life, but...
Constantly finding fault and poking holes is just human nature
It'll be healed by the flame ignited by claws (Deuce Deuce Deuce!)

Wait a sec, in this town the night is bittersweet
It just ends up with the tiny lights freezing over
A weather-beaten distraction, a sacrifice of sophism
Anyway, it's gotten hard to live in this world, huh? Inferior moaning

Deuce Deuce Deuce!
Til you die
Til I die
There's no way a chain's being put around my leg
Deuce Deuce Deuce!
Til we're soaked and turn into fools
Til we sober up
Let's do it in a coffin

My anxiety spikes
My anxiety spikes
My anxiety spikes and I'm unsteady
Once you get there, there's no going back
We're dead people from the cradle to the grave

Ah, it's the usual collision -- who's the victim this time?
"Isn't this pretty cruel?" That's a good one
There was never any end or any moral to begin with
Dancing and being made to dance, the traffic jam's getting worse
But my pointless life has already reached a dead end
I'll pray faithfully every day
That no one else will appreciate you

Deuce Deuce Deuce!
Til you die
Til I die
We won't call off the fight due to injury
Deuce Deuce Deuce!
Til our veneers peel off
Til morning comes
Let's you and me swap spit

Deuce Deuce Deuce!
Til a cough bursts out of me
Til my throat hurts
Let's strip each other of our sighs
If we stayed here like this forever
I'd be able to get by
Without ever becoming human

Come on, let's give up on life
In this finished world,
Until the deuce runs out,
Let's do it, giving our flesh and bone unsparingly

Note: "Inferior moaning" is pronounced the same as "Let's singing".

"There's no way a chain's being put around my leg"--The specific phrase used (Ashi ga tsuku) literally means "(someone's) leg is caught", and it can mean either a criminal getting caught or to get married (though that's less common). Kinda like how "the ball and chain" refers to both those iron balls they attach to prisoners in pop culture, and a thing to call your wife if you're a boomer, at least in my mind.

"Til we're soaked and turn into fools"--The word used here (gushagusha), usually is just onomatopoeia for being soaked, but it also sounds like the word for 'fool' (gusha).

Fun fact: This is part of the "Traffic Light" series.

This song actually has three different descriptions listed. The one at the top of the page is the description from NND. The others are:

"I wish you all misfortune" from the Youtube description.

"Flurry&Welter are everywhere" from a Youtube comment.
