おしゃかしゃま (Oshakashama) (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
This part talks about how humans treat different animals based on what suits them, yet ignore their own uncontrolled growth. It points out how people act like they have the right to manage nature, deciding which creatures should live or die. While everyone claims to worship a higher power, they slowly start acting like they’re the ones in charge of everything. It questions how humans became so arrogant that they almost put themselves on the same level as a god.

[Verse 2]
Here, the singer is confused about the idea of gods, since people only draw or imagine them to look like humans. It feels like humans created gods in their own image rather than the other way around. He wonders if this is just coincidence or human ego. The mention of Da Vinci adds a playful touch, asking what’s really going on with how people imagine divine figures.

[Chorus]
This part says that debates about the afterlife or reincarnation don’t change how people behave. Humans tend to do whatever they want anyway. Even when they already see themselves at the top of the world, they still believe something higher exists, as if they can never be satisfied. It points to a constant human desire to chase power or purpose, even without knowing why.

[Verse 3]
The singer imagines being able to control everything like a god. He says he wouldn’t rush creation but take time to plan things carefully. The lines suggest that the world feels messy and imperfect, almost like it was thrown together without enough thought. It’s a reflection on how chaotic life feels and how mistakes keep happening as if everything was built too quickly.

[Verse 4]
This section shows frustration with how humans keep repeating patterns of growing, shrinking, rising, and falling. People ask big questions even though they might already know the answers. The singer bluntly calls humanity foolish, saying the problems are so deep that wiping everything out almost feels like the only solution. It’s harsh but expresses exhaustion with human behavior.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, the singer says that human foolishness feels impossible to fix, even to the point where only death seems to end it. He wonders what he’s supposed to do with his current life if he’s just hoping his next one will be better. He talks about doing reckless things, creating chaos, and then blurring everything together, almost like he’s overwhelmed and giving in to confusion. It shows a mix of frustration, hopelessness, and acceptance of disorder.

[Chorus]
This part expresses how people keep saying something better will come, even when things clearly aren’t improving. It feels like empty optimism that doesn’t help. The singer is stuck wondering what he’s supposed to do when everything he tries is labeled wrong. It captures a sense of helplessness and constant criticism, leaving him unsure of where to turn or how to move forward.

[Bridge]
Here, he wonders where he’s supposed to go if every choice is considered wrong. He feels stuck between staying and leaving, with neither option seeming acceptable, leaving him unsure of any direction.

[Chorus]
This final section says that questions about life after death or rebirth don’t really matter. Heaven or hell also don’t change much for him. Instead of thinking only in terms of up or down, he realizes there are other paths. It suggests finding your own way rather than following expected ideas about fate or destiny.
