The 13 Lettered Message
A long awaited happiness, the birth of her child.
What kind of epilogue will the interpretation of the Laurants bring about?
The Song of Hush-a-bye
Lyrics/Composer: Izaka Nami
Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye
Together with the sun
Hush-a-bye, hush-a-bye
And the moon
Rainy days, windy days, snowy days
Let’s sleep together
Ever since that child
<Was born wanted>
↓
Mornings and nights blend together
Not even three hours pass
↑
<A harsh reality even if I don’t breastfeed>[Before he cries for milk]
The world blurs
And my hand reaching out to caress his cheeks
Slips, sliding down to his neck
The Song of Troublesome Crying Kids who Grow up Strong
Lyrics/Composer: Izaka Nami
The loneliness of crying at dusk
The emptiness of ceaseless crying at night
People arrive in tears
And depart for whereabouts unknown in tears
A well-slept child is a well-kept child, they say
A crying child is also a growing child, or so I tell myself
“Aaaaarrrgh!”
Behave yourself!
\No, no!/ \Don’t wanna!/
“I don’t wanna eat”, he says
And throws out <the hamburger steak, his favorite dish I think>[his meal]
\Don’t wanna!/
He asked for
<These overalls, his favorite outfit I think>,
But ends up throwing them out
\Off with them!/
And he throws a tantrum on the floor
Until we buy him <the electric? fire truck>[the toy he wants]
\Rolling on the ground!/
Enjoying the <candy bar he swiped in front of the cashier>!
\Munch, munch!/
You’re a menace in everything you do!
Why are you this rebellious?!
<The hot-blooded PE teacher>[Papa] was strict in his disciplining
“I don’t give a damn anymore! You’re no child of mine! We just picked you off the ground!”
But <the overprotective music teacher>[I] wanted to accept the innocent child
For who he was
So I changed my mindset
“Stop crying, you’re a boy!” “Don’t cry, you’re still my child.”
The Song of a Journey through the Four Seasons
Lyrics/Composer: Izaka Nami
The sin of a blue spring
Experiences a crimson summer
The white autumn fuels
A dark winter’s dream
The light and darkness of education
The culprit behind the after school fires!
Was a highschooler?! “He seemed like such a good son”
Ah…
The <media outlets> came by day after day
Having a <field day> of their own
They twist the truth
Painting us a horrifying family
<Trying to pin the responsibility on parents>[A harsh reality]
<Izaka Nagi>blabbers and lies
Speaking nonsense all day long
“Shut the fuck up! Yes, just blame it on my discipline! You want a taste of it too!?”
And hung himself from all the blame
To my beloved Nami
The loneliness of losing my beloved <family that I desperately need>[my husband]
The emptiness of being betrayed by <my ideal life>[my dream]
But still
I cannot rid myself of this burden…
In tears…we shall go together-
They all say that your birth was <a sin>
But in <this hell that I’m left behind in>[this world], I will be the only one to say
