I'm picking glory

is a song by εpsilonΦ.

It was announced on May 30, 2022; as the song that would restart Epsi Channel and was released the next day with its lyrics MV, which was made by KanekoHaihatsu.

A song that Kanata wrote and was supposed to be added to AAside. It expresses Kanata's hate and love for Haruka, something that an ordinary person wouldn't understand. The fact it a messy song that has many non-instrumental sounds reflects how the band doesn't get along very well.

It was composed, written and arranged by Azami.

It is part of their first album Friction, which was released on September 21, 2022.

Lyrics
Romaji=

Kanji = それ、なんて？教えてよ もっと怯えて？ 1cmと2kgに噛んだ唇を 「ねえ今日はつまらないし見ていたっていいでしょう？」 放り投げたゴミも入らず溜まってくのさ

生まれ堕ちたここで演じ続けるフィクサー 言葉尻に弱さ見せて巻き上げるのさ 「いい点とったら褒めてくれるの？」 飢えた隠して 舌を抜けばもう二度とおさらば

愛情片腕で差し出す傍観者 才能は怠惰にのませて降参か？ ハイ、ローは圧倒的なこの称賛だ 太陽のふりして悪魔も共犯さ

大層な幸福さ

サバイブしたなら秘めてることを頂戴 狂ってたっていいの誰を見せてあげない まだまだ禁じたい夢物語あしらえば もっとゆらめく視界を見せてよ echo いますぐ頂戴 狂ってたっていいの誰にだってあげない 嫌だ嫌だ妙な合図で飛び立つなんて無理でしょう 大丈夫、幸福にはさせないさ

ねえどんな色が最悪に染まってって ７つの黒を映してくれるの？ 愛憎劇はお決まりの最終回じゃ吐きそうなくらいくだんないな

似ても似つかない朝迎えてるのさ いつまでも羨んでいてねハニー 縋れる藁の振りしててあげるね もうたまんない超最低なんてどこまでも美しい

もうたまんない超最低なんてどこまでも美しいの？

愛情片腕で差し出す傍観者 才能は怠惰にのませて降参か？ ハイ、ローは圧倒的なこの称賛だ 大層な幸福さ

サバイブしたなら秘めてることを頂戴 狂ってたっていいの誰を見せてあげない まだまだ禁じたい夢物語あしらえば もっとゆらめく視界を見せてよ echo いますぐ頂戴 狂ってたっていいの誰にだってあげない 嫌だ嫌だ妙な合図で飛び立つなんて無理でしょう 大層な幸福か？

さあライムはしたたかに地獄飾る光彩 奮い立たせたって君は見てくれない まだまだ興じたい、ほっといてよ 愛してもずっと知らない視線で殺すの echo このまま荒廃 ずるくたっていいの誰にだってあげない 嫌だ嫌だ妙な合図で飛び立つなんてしないで 大丈夫、幸福にはさせないさ

ねえどんな音が快楽に蝕まれ落ちてく闇を映してくれるの？ 愛憎劇はお決まりの最終回が好き、なんてやめてよ. English = Huh, what’s that? Tell me Gettin’ more afraid? I bite my lips, only 1cm and 2kg apart “Hey, today’s a bit boring, can I watch?” Even the trash that I threw out misses and piles up

A fixer who puts on an act from the moment they were born Writing down those words of weakness and rolling them up, “Would you praise me if I get a good grade?” Hiding their depraved eyes Next time they stick out their tongue, they’re gone

A bystander who holds out one hand of affection Do you surrender your talent to laziness? High, low, the praise is overwhelming Pretending to be the sun, even the devil is in on it.

A sunny happiness

If you survive this, hand over what you’ve hidden It’s fine to be crazy, I won’t reveal it to anyone else If you want to suppress your dreams as just a story, Show me that increasingly wavering vision echo Hand it over now It’s fine to go crazy, I won’t give this to anyone else I hate it, I hate this, taking off is impossible because of this weird signal It’s all fine, cause I’ll make sure you feel happiness

Hey, which color is the worst to be dyed in? Can you show me the 7 different blacks? This final part of this love-hate drama is so stupid I might throw up

I’m met with a morning that bares no familiarity Honey, aren’t you always envying me? Aren’t you just pretending to grasp at straws? An unsavable lowest point… it’s just beautiful

An unsavable lowest point… isn’t it just beautiful?

A bystander who holds out one hand of affection Do you surrender your talent to laziness? High, low, the praise is overwhelming A great happiness

If you survive, hand over what you’ve hidden It’s fine to be crazy, I won’t reveal it to anyone else If you want to suppress your dreams as just a story, Show me that increasingly wavering vision echo Give me it immediately It’s fine to go crazy, I won’t give this to anyone else I hate it, I hate this, taking off is impossible because of this weird signal, right? Is this great happiness?

Hey, these rhymes are determined to cover over hell in this brilliance I’ve roused you up, but I still won’t show you I’m still amused, so leave me alone Even if I love you, I’ll kill you with this dismissive gaze echo At this point, it’ll be in ruins You can be sly, I won’t show anyone else I hate it, I hate this, don’t take off because of this weird signal It’s okay, I’ll keep that happiness away from you

Hey, what sound is “pleasure that is being eaten away by the darkness” making? Stop saying that you like this cliche ending of this love-hate relationship
