about

A parasite (kyoseichu in Japanese) is someone who makes use of others but never gives something in return (the term being derived from parasitic animals or plants that use another life form to feed). The Japanese author Murakami Ryu wrote a lot about loneliness (or so I think). And his books tend to show that a lot of people are rejected from society because they do not want to adopt the predominant way of life. They prefer creating their own way of life but as a result, they end up living alone. They are considered as parasites, not necessarily because they use other people without giving something back. But mainly because they are different. And people do fear what is different from them. Obviously, the result is that most people follow the predominant trends so as not to be rejected. But what if there is a better way for you? What if there is something totally different from the main way of life everybody follows that would suit you better and help you achieve the things you really want to achieve? Would you rather follow the mass, knowing this is the wrong direction? Or would you live free, alone and considered as a kyoseichu?

lyrics

I live in a bunker
I live in an air raid shelter
I live in a bubble
I am alone

in a coin-locker I died
in a coin locker I was born again
in a coin locker I will always be
again and again and again and again

oh yeah they treat me as if I were a parasite
well I am just looking for a new way of life
oh yeah they treat me as if I were a parasite
well I am just looking for my own way of life

I want to burn this town
I want to burn this town to the ground
I want to burn this town
and offer it to the CrocOdiLeS

I want to burn this town
I want to burn this town to the ground
I want to burn this town
here comes the time of the CrocOdiLeS
