Lyrics Mr.Children - Starting Over

I killed that fat monster
with the shotgun I carried.
Next time, I won't even hesitate
to pull the trigger.
Is vanity his true character?
Is he afraid of failure?
Floating from flattery,
does his conceit swell?

Well, I arranged my disordered breath
and gathered all my senses into my fingertips.

A gunshot roars out in a world only I will go to,
as the glaring, transient flash shoots out.
“When something ends, something begins again.”
Yeah, surely that light is shouting that at me.

Inside the eyes of that cornered monster,
I found loneliness and purity.
Abandoned like a kitten,
his body curled up in fear.

Ah, if only it was possible
to tie him with rope and tame him.

Surrounded by many choices,
what I search for and desire has become blurry.
“When something is born, something dies.”
Yeah, surely there is no escaping from that.

The evening is too calm,
midnight is silent.
Then the monster is violent again.
I gently suppress my breath
and put a bullet into the cylinder,
so I will no longer smell
his quiet thirst for blood.

Even today, a gunshot roars out in a world only I will go to,
as the glaring, transient flash shoots out.
“When something ends, something begins again.”
Thus, the world forever keeps spinning like that.
“When something ends, something begins again.”
Surely, surely...
