Chomp
I want to run my mouth1
I want to tie all sides together
I want to run my mouth
I want to tell you with both words and touch
I want to run my mouth
With an answer that may be selfish
I want to run my mouth
I want to do it either way
Just an ordinary question and answer, which one is wrong? Huh?
A smile costs nothing, but my heart seems to be tiring
Ah, whole body hurting, spirit fading, rolling thunder, stubbornness, moving
Who notices the real face hiding behind the Dōran makeup?2
I'm surprisingly sincere with my jokey words, because
Isn't that what singing's all about? At least that's what I read online
I think I might be able to survive this rotten daily grind somehow
Anyway, I think this is me? Ah, am I saying this right?
I want to run my mouth
I want to tie all sides together
I want to run my mouth
I want to tell you with both words and touch
I want to run my mouth
With an answer that may be selfish
I want to run my mouth
I want to do it either way
A series of hits from a harisen3
I can't move [because] I'm lazy
It doesn’t matter; it's bad manners,
discommunication, and informality4
Ah, no holiday at all, sleepless night routine
If I'm slacking off 9% [of the time], I want this citrus fruit squeezed straight from the tree
It's a never-ending problem, even if I told it to
Accompanied with the gut feeling that it's still going on even after it's ended
Flat emotions ended up going somewhere
What is treasured? You don't intend to throw it away, do you? Ah, am I saying this right?
I want to run my mouth
I want to tie all sides together
I want to run my mouth
I want to tell you with both words and touch
I want to run my mouth
With an answer that may be selfish
I want to run my mouth
I want to do it either way
I want to run my mouth
I want to tie sound and meaning together
I want to run my mouth
I'm pretty sure I just can't figure out how
I want to run my mouth
Connecting the answers from all of you
I want to run my mouth
I want to do it either way
- 1. "Paku" has several meanings: as an onomatopoeia for eating (hence "chomp"), to gape open and shut, or to flap. I thought "flap my jaw" sounded a bit too old fashioned so I went with the less-literal "run my mouth" instead.
- 2. Refers to the thick makeup used on theatre and early film actors, especially in the early 20th century.
- 3. A large paper fan used in Japanese slapstick comedy.
- 4. 無礼講 specifically means a social gathering where social status (which is highly important in Japanese culture; e.g. senpai-kōhai) is ignored
