Inumo Kuwanai

Creepy Nuts' song "Inumo Kuwanai" offers a unique perspective on human behavior by narrating it through the eyes of dogs. The lyrics delve into the complex relationship between humans and dogs, using this dynamic as a metaphor to critique societal norms and human interactions. The song opens with a reflection on mutual mockery and judgment, suggesting that both parties are equally flawed. The phrase "人をのろわばあなふたつ" (If you curse someone, there will be two graves) and "人を笑わばふしあなふたつ" (If you laugh at someone, there will be two blind spots) emphasize the consequences of negative actions and judgments, highlighting the cyclical nature of such behavior.

The song continues with a dog’s perspective on its relationship with humans, questioning the supposed hierarchy and control humans believe they have. The dog observes human behavior, noting their contradictions and the superficial nature of their interactions. The lyrics mention how humans enjoy conflict and drama, often engaging in petty arguments and deriving pleasure from others' misfortunes. This is illustrated through lines like "人間は争いが好き" (Humans like conflict) and "口げんかを審査してる深夜" (Judging verbal fights late at night), which critique the human tendency to thrive on negativity and competition.

In the latter part of the song, the dogs express their disdain for humans' hypocritical and performative nature. They mock humans for their superficial judgments and the way they manipulate situations for their benefit. The repeated phrase "おれらにたもんどうし" (We are the same) reinforces the idea that despite the perceived differences, both humans and dogs share similar flaws and tendencies. The song concludes with a call for authenticity, urging both humans and dogs to abandon pretentious behavior and embrace their true selves. Through its clever use of metaphor and social commentary, "Inumo Kuwanai" provides a thought-provoking critique of human nature and societal norms.
