Ok, I lied......... using my super fast skills at the keyboard, (Dinky can tell you about that) I copied the lyrics from the video.

Comment: Another Touhou video from Niconico. This time the Touhou girls are singing about hikikomori/NEET depression. Not the cheeriest of videos, but certainly artistic!

Lyrics:

Even in the midst of flowing time,
Look, listlessness dances round and round.
I can't even see my heart
as it withdraws from me, and I don't care.
Even if I don't make a move,
I keep being swept away through the cracks of time.
I don't give a damn about anything around me,
I am me, and that's all there is to it.
Am I dreaming? Am I seeing nothing?
My words are useless, even if I were to speak them.
Sadness only leaves me exhausted,
and I'd rather live my days feeling nothing.
Even if you told me those bewildering words,
My heart would be elsewhere, not listening.
If I were to make a move on my own, and change everything,
I'd still turn it all black.
Is there a future for someone like this?
Do I belong in this world?
Does my heart ache now? Do I grieve now?
I simply know nothing about myself.
Merely walking leaves me exhausted,
so how could I care about anyone else?
If even someone like me could change,
Were I to actually change, I'd turn white.


Even in the midst of flowing time,
Look, listlessness dances round and round.
I can't even see my heart
as it withdraws from me, and I don't care.
Even if I don't make a move,
I keep being swept away through the cracks of time.
I don't give a damn about anything around me,
I am me, and that's all there is to it.
Am I dreaming? Am I seeing nothing?
My words are useless, even if I were to speak them.
Sadness only leaves me exhausted,
and I'd rather live my days feeling nothing.
Even if you told me those bewildering words,
My heart would be elsewhere, not listening.
If I were to make a move on my own, and change everything,
I'd still turn it all black.
If I make a move, if I make a move,
I'll destroy it all, I'll destroy it all.
If I grieve, if I grieve,
would my heart turn white?
I still know nothing about you, nothing about myself,
nothing about anything at all.
If opening my heavy eyelids means I'll destroy everything,
Then let it all turn black!!!
Dogs have owners, Cats have staff

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

Good video. Even better lyrics, though they are depressing. Which I guess is the goal, neh?

And since it's Christmas, here's a personal favorite of mine:
I'll be home for Christmas


I'm dreamin' tonight of a place I love
Even more then I usually do
And although I know it's a long road back
I promise you

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
If only in my dreams
.....sometimes you have to lose your mind to find it......

When faced with months to live, how do you say goodbye? Zach turned to music.
Zach was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in November 2009. Osteosarcoma is a cancerous bone tumor that develops in children.
Zach wrote this song as a way to say goodbye. It became the #1 song on Itunes shortly before his death. He passed away on May 20th, 2013. You can learn more about him by searching "My Last Days Zach Sobiech" on YouTube.

“Clouds” by Zach Sobiech

Well I fell down, down, down
Into this dark and lonely hole
There was no one there to care about me anymore
And I needed a way to climb and grab a hold of the edge
You were sitting there holding a rope

And we’ll go up, up, up
But I’ll fly a little higher
We’ll go up in the clouds because the view's a little nicer
Up here my dear

It won’t be long now,
it won’t be long now

When I get back on land
Well I’ll never get my chance
Be ready to live and it’ll be ripped right out of my hands
Maybe someday we’ll take a little ride
We’ll go up, up, up and everything will be just fine

And we’ll go up, up, up
But I’ll fly a little higher
We’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here my dear

It won’t be long now,
it won’t be long now

If only I had a little bit more time
If only I had a little bit more time with you

We could go up, up, up
And take that little ride
And sit there holding hands
And everything would be just right
And maybe someday I’ll see you again
We’ll float up in the clouds and we’ll never see the end

And we’ll go up, up, up
But I’ll fly a little higher
We’ll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer
Up here my dear

It won’t be long now,
it won’t be long now...
.....sometimes you have to lose your mind to find it......
