Lyrics

The following are the official lyrics from [ Library Of Ruina ] Children of the City.

Sleep for a total of 800 hours per day
And then drink a liter of milk, warm up before you go play
Only eat, or write, or pull the trigger with your right hand
Only thing that's left is to work on following commands
By the time you realize, you'll be restrained to a desk
And with your dreams on the floor you comply, eyes chained to the test
In 30 minutes find a groom or bride, bonus if brunette
In 90 hours spill their insides, paint your room picturesque

Now it's time for another vendetta
Going through the shelves, picking out my prewritten persona
Children of the city see only the neon stars
Reflected upon the murky gutter sky
Don't ask me why I desperately wish to be included in the city's night

(In 400,000 meters, turn right)

Pick up a knife and stab a familiar warm body
Learned to fight before I knew love or bitterness of coffee
Snippy scissors cut down the strings, I set myself free
Only to figure out everything I chose was by proxy
As we suckled upon the 9mm pacifier
Swallowing the fact that other than to expand we had no purpose
As my everburning will to stay afloat backfires
I now know must be comfortable being who I considered worthless
Follow the city's ribbon
To a heart nobody seems to listen
It takes my heart being broken and broken again
To know that I am the reason why the sufferings never end

Now it's time for another vendetta
Going through the shelves, picking out my prewritten persona
Children of the city see only the neon stars
Reflected upon the murky gutter sky
Don't ask me why I desperately wish to be noticed by the city's sight

(Do not go home until you finish reading the value of “e”)

Trivia

  • The "e" mentioned in the last line is referring to the base of the natural logarithm, which is an irrational number, meaning it is conceivably infinite. This acts a way to show that 얀샋ᄃ요무 can never go home.
  • Comparing to the quotes of Prescripts appearing on the screen in 얀샋ㄷ요무's battle, the Prescripts mentioned in the song are more incomprehensible and dangerous. The reason of this is unknown.
  • The lyrics, "By the time you realize, you'll be restrained to a desk. And with your dreams on the floor you comply, eyes chained to the test", references the Graduation Exam distortion from The Distortion Detective novels.
