Entry #2: Climb! Advance! To the High Tower!

As you can see my title, this is a song name. This song was composed by Kikuo and singed by Hanatan. Kikuo and Hanatan are both from Japan. And now. Enjoy your time with the music video.

"One day, a big tower was erected

Continuing up above the clouds

Everyone lined up with a smile

Climb! Advance! To the tall tower

Climbing up once takes you to an amusement park

Climbing up twice takes you to the red light district

Climbing up thrice takes you to a paradise above ground

Those that want to go down cannot

Climb! Advance! To the tall tower

You can climb above the clouds 

It’s Hell’s construction site

The man that collapsed under the demon’s grasp

Is currently being frozen and buried

Climb! Build! The tall tower

So lonely, so painful

Sad blood is overflowing

Being used as bait

Never able to return

Unable to see a thing of the bottom

One day, a mysterious rain fell

It was a prism color unseen before

If you took one sip of the sweet taste

An absolute pleasure fills you up

Climb! Advance! To the tall tower

From even a high place, rain fell

From even a high place, you can drink it

Unable to forget that taste

Just from one drop, you want more

Because we want the happy rain

We’ll tie people up and stack them 

Hurry and stack, stand up tall and

Before we realize, there are humans buried nearby

Climb! Advance! To the tall tower

Climb! Build! The tall tower

Oh happy, happy

fun feelings overflow

If you stack up tall you can get it all

Never able to go back down

Oh happy, happy

Grateful feelings won’t stop

Rain, rain fall more

Hurry and stack for me!

Build! Advance! Tall tower

Build! Advance! Tall tower

The skinny tower that was stacked too tall

The fragile tower built with flesh and blood

It crumbles, crumbles

A big bird runs into it

Instead of living somewhere this high

It’s better to stick to a smaller area

Barely escaping with your life

Men, women and children all torn to pieces

Nothing was left behind

The next day passed

It became a landmark just like that

There was something that caught my eye

It was

A relic of the happiness rain

I figured it out with my clever mind

It seems from above the clouds

An absolute pleasure is aplenty

Build! Advance! The tall tower

Build! Advance! The tall tower

Climb! Advance! To the tall tower

Climb! Advance! To the tall tower"

Up here is the English translation by Gabicho Translations. The song itself was considered by many people that it was a weird song. With unfamiliar melody and lyrics, it's hard to find someone who would like this song. But what I want to share here is my though about the song's meaning. Human like us always have high hope with anything. We try to archive it with our best. And in this life, we will actually use any action, including bad behaviors, to get what we want. We keep moving forward everyday in life, in every aspect. We try so hard, to finally accomplish one thing: Happiness. And to figure out what happiness really is; it's a long and tough way. However, we never stop. For ourself to finally find out what our true happiness. But step on others people so yourself can move on? You will absolutely come closer to your happiness, and you will also slowly crush it in your own hand. For me, this upbeat song really give me lots of motivation to continue moving on without harming anyone. It's also a nice sone to scream along when I'm lonely or stress out. So what is your thought about this song?
