Is the rent going up again? Supposedly, it’s because prices are rising Well, how come my salary hasn’t? I’d like to move out of this 2DK Before the next renewal I want to live with someone Even if it’s in a small room Wait, how many times have I said that already? Living alone It crept up on me without my even realizing It’s “marriageable age” But I spend my days Looking for reasons to stay alone “It’s still too early” “I can’t afford it” “It’s not that kind of era anymore” I’m already aware That I’ve been trying to shield myself from that awareness So I hurry past the mirror It crept up on me without my even realizing Did insurance premiums go up again? What even is nursing-care insurance? Supposedly, it’s for “mutual support,” they say Well, I guess I’m on my own anyway I know, I know I really should go For that follow-up exam By the next long weekend I can’t stop sweating I get dizzy too Wait, is this menopause? Living alone It crept up on me without my even realizing It’s “adjustable age” But I spend my days Looking for reasons to stay alone “It’s still too early” “I can’t afford it” “It’s not that kind of era anymore” I’m already aware That I’ve been trying to shield myself from that awareness So I hurry past the mirror The gap between retirement and receiving my pension How am I supposed to live? Are you telling me to die? Is this the Bermu-due Triangle? “You’re still young,” you say? Stop joking around I’m older than “Nami [Beep],” okay? Living alone It crept up on me without my even realizing It’s “closable age” Now I spend my days Looking for reasons to stay with somebody “It’s still too early” “I can’t afford it” “It’s not that kind of era anymore” I’m already aware That I’ve been trying to shield myself I’m already aware Looking in the mirror For a distant past version of myself Wait, so what if I’m at the “right age”? Mind your own business! My life is mine to decide! The time I want to do it Is my right age My life belongs to me So what if I’m at the “right age”? Mind your own business! I decide when I do what I do! The time I want to do it Is my right age My life belongs to me Right-Age Blues This is the blues But I’m not blue
