Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a picture of defiance against a broken, oppressive system, urging listeners to embrace the "garbage" and move forward. The opening lines, "#9 shikiru boukun Me ni utsuru subete no mono Broken" (The #9 ruling tyrant, everything reflected in the eyes is broken), immediately establish a sense of despair and corruption. This is met with a rejection of passive thinking: "Thinking time toka aru dake mudatte hanashi" (Talking about having thinking time is just a waste). The narrator seems to find a perverse pleasure in being told "nothing," which paradoxically makes them want it more, highlighting a contrarian spirit. The central tension lies in the act of "Walk on da garbage!!" This isn't about literal trash, but about discarding societal expectations, failures, and the things that are "Suterareru mon subete oiteikina" (Leave behind all that can be thrown away). The repeated phrase "koko nanza ariyashinee" (there's nothing here) suggests a void or a place devoid of value, which the narrator chooses to stride through. The call to "Look up!!" after acknowledging the struggle implies a search for something beyond the current bleak reality, even if the "owari" (end) is cyclical. The lyrics employ a raw, almost aggressive tone, contrasting "Rokkunrooru? yori mo hippuhoppu shintou" (Hip-hop penetration rather than rock and roll?). This suggests a preference for a more direct, rhythm-driven expression of rebellion. The imagery of being "ふるいにかけられたtop of theクズ" (the top of the trash sifted through) and "Hakidame no saika soudaiku chiku" (the bottom of the garbage heap, the 9th district) is stark, depicting a sense of worthlessness. Yet, this is met with a defiant "Shikushiku naitera terawarosussu" (If you cry, you'll be laughed at), reinforcing the need to push past sorrow. Ultimately, the effectiveness of these lyrics stems from their visceral rejection of despair and their embrace of a chaotic, self-defined path. The repeated "Tell a lie tell a lie" and the subsequent "Gekokujou no hi Tomose Furankan he" (Light the fire of the lower class overthrowing the upper class, towards a rotten pipe) suggest a desire to dismantle and rebuild, or at least to disrupt the status quo with a powerful, unvarnished truth. The "Shakin" sections inject a sense of urgent, rhythmic energy, urging the listener to stand up and remain free amidst the decay.
