Inochi No Zenmai

9mm Parabellum Bullet's song "Inochi No Zenmai" (translated as "The Clockwork of Life") delves into themes of fate, innocence, and the inexorable passage of time. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where the wind carries the scent of wounds, and the flickering candlelight symbolizes the fragility of life. The protagonist seems to be grappling with the inevitability of destiny, as they urge themselves to wind the clockwork of life, suggesting a mechanical and predetermined existence.

The imagery of a "tin rabbit" and "innocent eyes" evokes a sense of lost innocence and the transformation from purity to corruption. The protagonist offers to take the innocent being to a place where no one else can see, a metaphor for the hidden scars and traumas that everyone carries. This hidden place could represent the inner struggles and emotional wounds that are not visible to the outside world. The request for a new toy until it turns into junk reflects the transient nature of life and relationships, where things and people are used and discarded.

The song also touches on the concept of fate as a relentless force, with lines like "fate is a sweet rain" that eventually drowns everything. The protagonist's hands, described as incapable of saving, seek a suitable toy to play with until its clockwork winds down. This could symbolize the human tendency to seek distractions and temporary pleasures to cope with the harsh realities of life. The recurring imagery of the candle's flame going out signifies the end of life or hope, leaving the protagonist to confront the inevitable decay and transformation of everything they hold dear.
