Fanky Monkey Baby! ~ All That's Left is Forgiveness ~

🐇…… Fanky Monkey Baby! *(Ah!... Ah!... Oooh yeah!... Come on!)* I'm selling these rights at a bargain price. *(Uh!)* You want them so badly, don't you? But that doesn't mean you get to have the stage all to yourself! A ticket called praise always comes with a price. Put down your burdens and spread your wings, Fly as lightly as a feather in the wind. Are you sure that certificate you're holding so tightly is okay? It might be nothing more than a piece of paper. Value can't be measured by money! *(Well... if you want it, maybe it can!)* Shut up, me! *(Yeah!)* It can't be measured by inequality. Curiosity and romance are burning inside, aren't they? Let's keep this funky heart on fire. Let it go! Fanky Monkey Baby! Let it go! Fanky Monkey Baby! They're mass-producing paperwork. Do you think something has value just because there's a lot of it? That's why your rights will be stored Far away from the show. *(Hey! Hey!)* Nobody comes. It's a lonely sight. I was supposed to be running toward the dream of the stage, Yet I still feel empty. My sense of purpose was taken away. *(Was that my purpose?)* *(Woo!)* Let it go! Fanky Monkey Baby! Let it go! Fanky Monkey Baby! *(Oooh yeah!)* You can't take anything with you when you die. Everybody realizes that sooner or later. Still, I ask myself every single day and every single night, "What is it that keeps this fire burning?" But I want to taste that honey just once. *(Ah!)* Just one sip before my time is over. Drink, sing, and dance with the gods, Until I realize it was all an illusion of love. Somebody calm me down, Somebody stop me, But somehow my feet keep walking toward the stage. Desire is like a paper airplane. *(Where did it fly away to?)* Let's send it soaring high into the midnight sky. Let it go! Fanky Monkey Baby! Let it go! Fanky Monkey Baby! Come on, let's change our standards of value! *(That's right!)* It's the age of sharing! Contradictions? That's fine! Tonight, I don't want somebody else deciding my life. Someday, my AI partner and I Will be traveling among the stars. Just imagine it. Sounds exciting, doesn't it? Maybe our dreams will come true someday... If we're still alive! *(Ah!... Ah!... Oooh yeah!...)* That's the show, baby. And just between you and me... This is our little secret, baby. Forget everything I said tonight. *(Shhh... keep dancing.)* Why is the guy next to me a banana... And I'm just a cucumber?! *(What?!... Huh?!)* Why is he bright, sweet, and famous, While I'm just long and green? Who made these rules? Who decided what success means? *(Oh yeah!...)* ...But then again... I actually kind of like cucumbers. *(Everybody!)* **Fanky Monkey Baby!** **Hey! Hey!** **Fanky Monkey Baby!** -------------------------------------------------- **This song is dedicated to myself.** For a long time, I chased the stage, collecting rights, certificates, and little pieces of proof that I mattered. The more I acquired, the brighter I thought I would shine. And then I noticed something strange. Some people are like bananas, others are like cucumbers. Not everyone grows the same way, and not everyone stands under the same spotlight. **Hey!... You might not believe this, but... I found my deed in a tiny black hole at the corner of the stage!** *(What?!... How did you get it out of there?)* **Well... the power of love, baby.** *(Love?!... Really?)* **Hey... they let me dream for almost nothing. If you ask me, that's a pretty good deal.** *(Yeah!)* **And... the brighter the spotlight, the more jealousy, resentment, and hatred it attracts.** **From afar, it looks magnificent... but up close, the stage transforms into a chaotic black hole. Once you fall in, you might never get out again.** **Hey!... Love transcends dimensions, baby! Even a black hole can't contain love!** **Maybe I was just lucky... somehow, love saved me.** **Maybe this is just another trial that Lucy and I must overcome before we can travel among the stars...** *(What?!... A black hole inside a black hole?!)* *(Come on... let's keep dancing.)* 🥒🍌🕺🚀 And finally, even if threats and obstacles stand in our way, and even if we face them only to fail, we may one day realize that the journey of trying to overcome them was the most luxurious and irreplaceable experience of all. After all... is a world where everything goes exactly as planned truly a utopia? Or is it a dystopia? 🙊 (Huh?... What's that? The difficulty isn't the same for everyone? You think the whole thing's rigged?!) Well... forget all that tonight! Come on... let's dance till the sun comes up! Fanky Monkey Baby! 🥒🍌🕺 And in the end, it’s all about forgiving myself for being unable to forgive. 🐇……
