NEXT NEST

La la la...

(NEXT NEST)

I hear a voice asking me "How have you been?"
The moniter that was left on glares back at me
I grow fed up with keeping my eyes closed for no rhyme or reason
As we become consumed by electromagnetic waves

People can find out information on tomorrow's weather
Quickly, easily, and no matter where in the world
But I wouldn't want them to know the real, unadulterated me
So I keep a stance, I keep a distance

I look back on my creation,
Day after empty day
Become numb to all feeling,
To the scent of rain

No matter how many times I'm repeatedly hurt
I never stop searching for the home I can return to
All these bottled-up impulses will lead me to
NEXT NEST NEXT NEST NEXT NEST NEXT NEST

I still won't know where I belong.
Not even if another building is built to block out the sky
I search for the place I can forever call my own, my
NEXT NEST NEXT NEST NEXT NEST NEXT NEST

(NEXT NEST)

I hear a voice asking me "Would you like seconds?"
I brace myself, clutching a hole-ridden umbrella
I grow fed up with hanging my head low over an open book
As we all become bound by electromagnetic waves

A non-human avatar courteously waves goodbye
And is left behind with a neglected stack of business cards
No matter how complicated of a password is in place
My soul will never want to settle down there

I look back on my creation,
Day after empty day
Become numb to all feeling,
To the scent of rain

No matter how many times I'm repeatedly hurt
Everyone has nightmares from feeling alone
A forced smile that is not in character, is the
NEXT NEST NEXT NEST NEXT NEST NEXT NEST

I still won't know which direction to point my feet towards
Not even if another building is built to block out the sky
To people like us who can never say "Assimilate" this is our
NEXT NEST NEXT NEST NEXT NEST NEXT NEST

Note: "Keeping my eyes closed for no rhyme or reason" is typed on the wiki as "no thyme or reason". I'm 90% sure it's a typo since "thyme" doesn't make any sense there, but just noting it down in case it's not.

Fun fact: This was the theme song for Magical Mirai 2014.
