When I was wholeheartedly in love He never did huh? Never turning to look at me, that’s fate If morning comes I’ll be with a stranger, and tonight I’m with another dull love Goodnight, disposable toys It’s only fun during the act “I want to be loved” “I want to played with” , my two selves You curiously entangling with the opposite sex And within a moment me getting jealous Embracing these unpleasant feelings, it’s so stupid Breaking me as you please One sidedly loving is just self satisfaction My persistence will never reach you Just from being desired, I feel happy Somehow it’s becoming a habit, only what’s charming shines through If I were to cheat, I wonder if you’d say you love me? But in the end even if I weren’t here, it’s all the same to you I’m sick of building up the effort to break free I won’t chase after anything, in the end it’s delusional I quickly want to become happy, or more precisely I don’t want to think of anything for eternity I just want to be happy, I don’t know what kind of thing happiness is I don’t mind if you’re a little dirty, I don’t care if you lack common sense I only have myself to save Eventually soon will be the day I laugh with the person I love holding hands I want to run away from myself and this expression I conceal In order for no one to realize how I feel It’s like forcibly gripping thorns with my palm Even though I’m trembling embracing it, this one sided love It’s on me Kill, my ego can’t see anyone but you Looking back did he ever laugh? When I was wholeheartedly in love He never did huh? Never turning to look at me, that’s fate If morning comes I’ll be with a stranger, and tonight I’m with another dull love Goodnight, disposable toys

This song is really meaningful specially to those young people who casually get intimate with people they don't really love. Sure, it will make you physically satisfied at some point-but it will make your soul empty and of course no one can help u but yourself.

It actually perfectly encapsulates how I felt thru my four years of being single. Many partners may come your way, but at the end they're all just one night stands, sex partners and lust-filled friends. It really made me a souless vessel. If it wasn't because of one girl that showed me where to go, chances are I would still be pretty burried down there.

She was used like a "toy" again and again without any care and love, She cried in the fact that people will see her like a past time material, All she just wanted is to be loved like what a woman would like to be. Maybe she have suffered in the fact that she chosen a wrong decision And some people liked to make a joke, on her background Isn't actually seeing the song's true representation.

That's why manga like 177013 or 211955 are masterpieces. They are so realistic, not just in terms of the plot, but also the philosophy that "too much pleasure can be pain, and just enough pain for a worthwhile cause can be pleasurbale". I think that trying to get pleasure and pleasure alone won't make you happy. You need problems in life to make it worth living.
