狭心症 (Kyoshinsho) Lyrics – Mrs. GREEN APPLE

狭心症 (Kyoshinsho) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
I’m really glad that I only have two eyes because if I could see everything, I’d be crushed. The world is full of sadness, and even noticing a fraction of it feels too heavy. Life is strangely set up in a way that limits what we experience, and sometimes I think it’s the only thing keeping me alive. Seeing too much would make it impossible for me to keep going.

[Verse 2]
Even so, people seem to want to look at everything, as if they’re trying to notice every little detail in the world. But I can’t keep up with that because I’m already filled to the brim with my own struggles and sadness. Everyone else’s problems pile on top of my own, and it’s exhausting. I just want to deal with my own feelings without being forced to notice all the world’s pain too.

[Chorus]
If it’s wrong for me to see all this, then someone needs to fix it for me. I wish I could just close my eyes or have them sewn shut so I don’t have to feel this pain. I feel like if I could hide from all the suffering around me, I could survive. At the end, I just want to see everything all at once when I’m ready, so I understand the whole picture without it breaking me.

[Verse 3]
Every day I’m reminded that life is unfair, and I have to fight to protect even the smallest part of myself. I’m told I have to take pieces from others just to survive. But I never asked to learn these harsh lessons about how life works. It’s frustrating and tiring, and sometimes I just want the world to be quiet and let me be, without all these rules and truths hitting me in the face.

[Verse 4]
Even when people tell me that there’s always someone worse off than me, it doesn’t make my own sadness any lighter. I feel like I’m not even allowed to feel or dwell on my own struggles. Life keeps going, but it doesn’t stop to consider what I’m going through. I can’t just compare my pain to others’ and pretend it’s not real—it still hurts, and I have to deal with it, even if nobody else understands.

[Chorus]
If crying is forbidden, I wish I could have been born with my tears already removed. That way, I could face every hardship, every moment of sadness, and still keep going without breaking down. Life is already hard, and if I can’t express my feelings in any way, I feel like I won’t survive. I need some way to process the pain or I can’t handle being myself.

[Bridge]
Every day, life disappears all around me. People die, opportunities vanish, and yet the world keeps moving, almost like nothing has changed. It’s strange how clean and ordered everything seems despite all the chaos underneath. It’s almost too perfect, and it makes me question why the world works the way it does. Life can feel beautiful and cruel at the same time, and I don’t fully understand it.

[Pre-Chorus]
I get that everyone is busy and has their own responsibilities, but I wonder why the higher powers, or the universe, aren’t doing something about all the chaos. Isn’t it their job to guide things or protect those in trouble? Sometimes it feels like I have to take matters into my own hands and stand up for myself, because nothing else seems to be helping. I need courage to face the world and deal with everything that comes my way.

[Chorus]
If I have to see and experience everything, then I need a way to hold it all inside so I don’t forget or get lost in it. Even moments of happiness and joy can be interrupted by the weight of the world, so I need to carry it carefully. My eyes can only handle so much, so I have to make sure I don’t miss what’s important but also don’t drown in everything at once.

[Bridge]
I’m grateful that I only have two ears because the world is filled with cries, screams, and pain. If I could hear everything happening, I wouldn’t be able to breathe or think. I’m already doing my best just to keep myself happy and functioning, and if I had to process all the world’s suffering, I would collapse. Limiting what I can hear protects me and lets me continue living.

[Chorus]
If I’m not supposed to see or hear everything, then I want to protect the next generation from it too. When a new life begins, I’d block all the world’s harshness from them, keep them safe, and let them grow up without carrying the weight of the world. I want to be a shield so that their eyes and hearts never have to cry, and they can live freely without the burden of all the suffering I’ve seen.
