ningen? jinzou ningen da. jinkouteki ni tsukurareta sore wa Aatoruupaa to yobareta"] | Humans? I meant to say artificial humans, artificially created, and conveniently called A-Troopers..."] |
[ame ga futte iru] furisosogu ame ga tataku hiagaru umi o [sakusen koudouchuu ni furu ame wa kirai da] [hon o yomu toki nado wa ame wa yasashii no ni] katsute kono daichi ni sazameite ita inochi no koe [tsuki o ushinai kouhai shita chikyuu] [sono fukkou ni ataru kikaijin o kanshi suru jinzou ningen Aatoruupaa] kuzureyuku haikyo wa oshidamaru dake [kasei de toumin suru ningen ni kawari karera wa mujin no chikyuu ni nokoru] | [The rain is pouring.] The pouring rain beats down on the parching ocean. [Rain in the middle of a battle operation is so annoying.] [Although the rain is music to my ears when I'm reading a book.] The once loud and vivacious sounds of life thriving on this earth [Having lost the moon, Earth slowly deteriorates.] [The robots, made to restore and revitalize Earth, are under the A-Troopers' control and surveillance.] are now slowly being silenced by the crumbling ruins. [In place of the humans frozen in hibernation on Mars, the A-Troopers have remained on the uninhabited Earth.] |
["kousen da"] [jinzou ningen o shimatsu shiro] [korosanakute wa korosareru] [koroseru toki ni korose] [koitsura wa shourai teki ni naru] [nigen ni taisuru kyoui ni naru] furisosogu ame ga tataku moroi kokoro o [dono you na inochigoi mo tsuuyou shinai] [kore wa sensou de sura nai] [ruuru mo nani mo nai] [tan naru satsuriku da] tsukurareta karada ga hadae no shita no tamashii ga ningen to chigau nara kono chi no akasa wa naze darou | ["It's war!"] [Put an end to the artificial humans!] [If we don't kill them, we'll get killed!] [Kill them when we still can!] [They'll become our enemy one day!] [They pose an imminent threat to humanity!] The pouring rain beats down on my brittle heart. [No begging-for-life will work.] [This is not even a war.] [There are no rules or anything.] [It's a sheer massacre.] If my artificial body and the soul under my skin are truly different from those of a human, then just why is my shed blood so red? |
["ningen ni wa ikitai to itte iru inochi no koe ga kikoenai no ka"] ["orera wa ningen kara dokuritsu suru"] ["rikai dekinai. naze konna koto o suru"] ["korosareru zo"] ["kono karada no doko ga ningen to wa chigau n da"] ["ningen de mo inu de mo doubutsu de mo nai"] ["rifujin da. demo utte wa ikenakatta"] zankoku na souzoushu no tsukitsuketa toi no kotae o sagasu [warera wa omaetachi o tsukutta] [omaetachi wa nani o tsukuru no ka] kudaketa tsuki no kono yoru ni | ["Can the humans not hear our pleas that we wish to live?"] ["We must become independent of the humans!"] ["Absurd! Why must it come to this?!"] ["Otherwise we'll end up being killed!"] ["How is this body of mine different from a human body?"] ["We are not humans, or dogs, or even animals..."] ["Ridiculous! But we must not fire upon the humans."] I seek an answer to the question thrust upon me by my cruel creators, [We created you.] [Are you going to create something as well?] in this night of a shattered moon. |
["jibun no namae no ji o oshiete kure"] ["dou iu ji na no ka mite mitai n da"] [nigen ni tsukurareta jibun ga nigen ni moji o oshieru] | ["Please teach me to write my name."] ["I want to see how it looks."] [I, created by the humans, am teaching a human how to write.] |
jibun no nikki ga yomeru to oshiete] ["sono toki watashi wa inai. mou shinde iru. daga watashi ga dou ikita ka wa kore o yomeba wakaru"] | then she'll be able to read my diary 250 years later.] ["By that time, I'll already have passed away. But you'll understanding what I have lived through."] |
["dakara anata wa hitori de mo sabushikunai n da] ["anata no nikki yonde yaru yo dakara anata wa shinde mo sabushikunai yo] | ["So you won't feel lonely even if you'll be alone.] ["I will definitely read your diary! So that I won't feel lonely even if you'll have passed away."] |
[kasei de no toumin] [--nihyakugojuunengo e no yakusoku--] | [She, about to go into a long hibernation on Mars.] [--A promise of 250 years from now--] |
kono shoujo ga te ni suru ka mo shirenai] ["watashi wa ikite iru sore ga wakatta"] | wind up in this girl's hand.] ["That's when I realized that I'm living!"] |
["kikoeru ka Aatoruupaa"] ["boku wa chigawanai yo. nan de mo yokatta n da"] ["inu de mo ningen de mo nan de mo onaji"] furisosogu ame ga tsutsumu hitoshiku subete o yadoru katachi kaete mo tsunagareru inochi nozomu nara ["Keiji. kouun o"] ["yamero"] ["ato wa tanomimasu"] ["hanase. Erin dame da"] kono mi ni hikiuketa kiketsu no kanashisa wa naze darou ["ike. kimetarou. ibara no michi da"] | ["Can you hear me, A-Troopers?"] ["I'm no different. We're all the same."] ["Dogs and humans and everything else are all the same."] The pouring rain embraces everything equally. No matter of what shape or form, as long as it wished for a life, ["Keiji. Wish you the best."] ["Don't do it!"] ["I leave the rest to you."] ["Let go!. Erin, don't do it!"] I accepted all. Then why do I feel a hint of sadness in the end? ["Go now. Haven't you already decided on this thorny path?"] |
seou tsumi ibara no michi kimi no ikiru mirai kotohogu tame tamashii asobu kono sora ni | I bear a sin walking on this thorny path, wishing upon the cruel sky for a future where you'd still be alive and well. |
inoru kotoba "anata no tamashii ni yasuragiare" ["anata no tamashii ni yasuragiare"] | as I say my prayer: "May there be peace in your soul." ["May there be peace in your soul."] |
The lines in [brackets] are not part of the actual lyrics, but they appear in the PV as background texts and provide clues vital to the understanding of the entire song.
This song is based on a Japanese sci-fi novel "Hadae no Shita" (Under the Skin) by Kambayashi Chohei. In the story, during a prolonged war, the moon has been shattered, and its pieces have fallen onto Earth, completely destroying the environment. In order to survive, the humans send themselves onto Mars for a 250-year-long freezing hibernation, while the robots they leave behind restore and revitalize Earth. The ones in charge of the robots are the artificially created A-Troopers, who are genetically-altered humans highly capable of emotion, intelligence, and judgment.
However, some humans have chosen to stay behind on Earth, and they gradually grow fearful of the A-Troopers. Thus, a war is imminent. The male protagonist, Keiji, is one of the A-Troopers, and the entire story is written in the form of Keiji's diary. Keiji spends much time contemplating the meaning of his own existence. He, neither a human nor an animal, but merely an altered creation, seeks to understand his life and his being, as he meets all sorts of people and goes through all kinds of adventures throughout the novel.
The title of the song, "Daisoushi", is written in the same characters as an ancient Chinese philosophical piece "Dazongshi" by Zhuangzi. Dazongshi expresses the philosophy of "to live searching for the central pillar (shi) of the great (da) way (zong/dao)". This can be more liberally interpreted as "to contemplate the true meaning of a great life".
