- It took me like 5-10 minutes to translate this, but over 2 years to clean this up and share it, in case my procrastination skills were ever in doubt.
- I feel like if your head is already severed, hanging yourself at that point is kind of overkill (literally), but what do I know?
- This song was written when Kyohei, lead singer of DAS:VASSER, was a very depressed teenager. He didn't kill himself, and he's doing much better now. If this song upset you, I want you to know things can get better. Do not hurt yourself over words on a website. Links for you: 1, 2, 3.
