#darakuron

[shiroomo]

🌀 Dazai? No—This is Ango.

“I was a fool.” That’s how Sakaguchi Ango begins his Darakuron (On Decadence).

For him, freedom wasn’t about rules or ideals— it was the endless struggle of questioning yourself. Postwar Japan was in ruins, and Ango’s answer was radical honesty: to live as you are, reckless, romantic, even self-destructive.

💭 “Our true feelings go against the codes. We’re optimistic, we love, we indulge. And maybe, we’re always ready to die.”

Ango forces readers to confront their own values. Is freedom discipline? Or is it surrender to desire? He leaves the question open— but the battle is yours to fight. ⚔️

Noblerot: Darakuron

Lyrics from Lyric Wikia

Ali Project

Track 5: 堕落論-> Darakuron- On Decadence

Romanji- English

machigai darake no

BAIBURU wo hiraita you ni

tokidoki jinsei wa

wake mo naku yuutsu ni naru

Having opened the bible

That was full of mistakes

Sometimes, human life

Becomes depressing without any reason why

heion wa BIROODO no

hitsugi mitai de

kono mama ja umoresou

Peace is like

A velvet coffin

That seems to be hidden

asecchatte wameichatte

nandemo hourinagete

asonjatte owacchatte

jibun ni iikikaseru

nee konna hi mo kitto taisetsu datte

Get impatient, yell

And throw something

Play, get it over it

I have convinced myself of this

Hey, surely I am still important on such a day?

rakugaki darake no

BANBI no nikkichou ni

naranda AI NO KOTOBA

magai mono no hoshi mitai ne

In the diary of Bambi

That is full of scribbles

The words of love that were lined up

Look like the stars of the confusing things, don't they?

shiawase ni okite ga aru nara

sore ni kizuichaikenai koto

If there are rules in happiness

We aren't supposed to notice them

hashaijatte fuzakechatte

demo nanika okashikute

koishichatte furarechatte

totsuzen satottawa

itsumo atashi zettai honki ga tarinai

Be in high spirits, joke around

Even if something is wrong

I am in love, and I am rejected

Suddenly, I realized that

I am always me, and seriousness is absolutely insufficient

asecchatte wameichatte

heyajuu chirakatte

tsukarechatte nemucchatte

SUTEKI na ashita wo

yumemiru no mo kitto sainou dawa

Get impatient, yell

Scatter things about your room

Be tired, go to sleep

Surely it is a talent

To dream of a wonderful tomorrow

mou hashaijatte fuzakechatte

nanika ga mietekite

maa iikatte tachinaotte

nandakane tanjun nano

demo atarashii atashi ni korede aeruno

Again, be in high spirits, joke around

Go watch something

You might say for me to improve myself

It is somewhat simple to do

Still, to my new self, I can meet you in this place

Kanji

間違いだらけの

バイブルを開いたように

ときどき人生は

理由もなく憂鬱になる

 平穏は　ビロオドの柩みたいで

このままじゃ埋もれそう

 あせっちゃって　わめいちゃって　何でも放り投げて

遊んじゃって　終わっちゃって　自分に言い聞かせる

ねえこんな日も　きっと大切だって

 らくがきだらけの

バンビの日記帳に

並んだ　アイノコトバ

紛いものの星みたいね

 しあわせに掟があるなら

それに気づいちゃいけない事

 はしゃいじゃって　ふざけちゃって　でも何かおかしくて

恋しちゃって　ふられちゃって　とつぜん悟ったわ

いつもあたし　ぜったい本気が足りない

 あせっちゃって　わめいちゃって　部屋中散らかって

疲れちゃって　眠っちゃって　ステキなあしたを

夢見るのも　きっと才能だわ

 もう　はしゃいじゃって　ふざけちゃって　何かが見えてきて

まあいいっかって　立ち直って　なんだかね　単純なの

でも新しいあたしに　これで会えるの
