One Ok Rock – Mr. Gendai Speaker Lyrics

Rock

ねぇMr.現代スピーカー 今の実状は?
I don't understand this
連鎖するサイレンサー もはやシュミレーター

No one gives me an answer

もう制御不能・非常事態 まるで心あらずみたい
気持はどっか遠くの方へ Can you reach me?!

Nobody can find me here
This is my secret place
No one knows and no one will know
But I feel like losing senses
I am in this corner here alone

冷めたNewリアリズム掲げた君の好物はきっと
アゲもアシもとられた 何とも無様で哀れな人の表情!!

もう制御不能・異常事態 まるで心あらずみたい
気持はもはや見当たんない Can you hear me?!

Nobody can find me here
This is my secret place
No one knows and no one will know
But I feel like losing senses
I am in this corner here alone

もう僕が伝えたい事なんて
日々の暮らしの中に詰まっていて
だけど見つけられず そうスルーして
また一日が終わっていくの...

(Can you hear me now?)

Nobody can find me here
This is my secret place
No one knows and no one will know
But I feel like losing senses
I am in this corner here alone

About This Song

"Mr. Gendai Speaker" is a raw exploration of alienation and disconnection in modern society, with the protagonist feeling lost and unable to communicate with the contemporary world around them. The lyrics blend Japanese and English to express frustration with a "modern speaker" who represents the confusing, fast-paced digital age where genuine human connection feels impossible to achieve. Musically, the track showcases One Ok Rock's signature blend of alternative rock with post-hardcore intensity, featuring dynamic shifts between melodic verses and explosive choruses that mirror the emotional turbulence of the lyrics. The song captures the band's early sound when they were more heavily influenced by Western rock while still maintaining their unique Japanese perspective on youth angst. It stands as a powerful anthem for anyone who feels overwhelmed by modern life's complexity and the struggle to find authentic meaning in an increasingly artificial world.
