忌話
Imi-banashi
Taboo

Vocals: しゃばだば (Shavadava)
Lyrics: しゃばだば (Shavadava)
Composed by: しゃばだば (Shavadava)
Album: トウホウファンクラブ (Touhou Funk Love)
Circle: Sound CYCLONE
Event: C88

I remember hyping this album up back when it was about to be released and saying ‘Hopefully it won’t be three years before they release another album…’ – it’s been nine years since I posted that, and it looks like this actually ended up being Sound CYCLONE’s last album. Which is a shame, but I’m also happy they released a bunch of great music.

I was really into this song, so I’m glad I finally got around to having a look at it. As a side note, the title is officially ‘Touhou Funk Love’, but it can also be read as ‘Touhou Fan Club’.


歌詞

いみはない
いみはない
いみはない
いみなんてない

ときどき忍び寄る不安とか
くだらないテレビの話題とか
にたりよったりな毎日
こどくな日々を繰り返し
のんべんだらりとすごして
かたむく太陽見過ごして
しょうもない一日が終わる
はずかしい生き様です

いつもいつでも心には愛を
みたいなこといってお茶をにごして
はずかしいなんて口にだしてみれば
なかみのないトークの完成です
いい加減気付くべきなのだここは
のーたりんたちの無法地帯
で、誰かのセリフぱくってしゃべってる
スーパーでスペシャルなすばらしい世界

いみのないことなんてないと
みんなうそぶくけれど
なにもない僕には
しらけたセリフで

ただでさえ
いきることはそう辛すぎるんだけど
とりあえず
ループなんて
もうしたくない

いみはない…

Translation

Meaningless
meaningless
meaningless,
it’s utterly meaningless.

Anxiety sometimes creeps up on me
and the TV is full of people talking about boring things
during these days, each the same as the other.
I spend them all alone.
I laze around doing nothing
and watch the setting sun pass me by.
Another useless day ends.
What a shameful way to live.

Once I try saying embarrassing stuff
like ‘May your heart be forever filled with love’
and hide the truth away
this empty banter is complete.
I should come to my senses and realise
that this place is a lawless area for dull people.
We steal someone else’s phrases and chat.
It’s a super special wonderful world.

There’s no such thing as something meaningless,
or so everyone lies
but to someone worthless like me
they’re just dull words.

Normally
living is just too painful
but for now
I don’t want
to keep going through this loop.

Meaningless…
