Band Creates Metamorphosis-Inspired Song

Have you ever imagined a Metamorphosis-Inspired Song? Not too long ago, we posted here an artwork created by an AI that envisions what Metamorphosis would be like if it were a Disney Pixar movie. The art turned out really beautiful, with Saki looking quite adorable.

Right after posting that, I stumbled upon an American Metalcore band (or another style – feel free to correct me in the comments) that created a song inspired by Metamorphosis!

Band Creates Metamorphosis-Inspired Song

In October 2020, the band Desolate released a song inspired by Metamorphosis, the most famous manga by Shindo L. The lyrics of the song are about the manga’s protagonist, Saki Yoshida.

The song is titled “MissingNo. [177013],” which is the famous code for the Metamorphosis manga on the pirate site Nh*ntai. You can listen to the song below and read the lyrics:

Lyrics:

Let’s set the scene;A dying girl with a dying dreamBroken, OD’d

So love, what’s it gonna be?When life’s so empty

You sought love; you found viceYou sought god but he blacked out every light

There’s no time to bleedSold your soul for safetyYet every night you leaveFeels like hell on repeat

Suicidal sleep; won’t you come and comfort me?Let me sleep

You were fractured, abusedIf existence was the game;You were destined to lose

Now the wolves are throughAnd they even left you

PerversitySupersedesTheir lack of sympathy

Fuck their sympathy

Drowned in the deep;The broken girl with the broken teethNo hope, no peace

No need for an EMTWhen death comes cheap

No hope, no peace

Nothing to love, nothing to bleedThe paradigm of misery

No hope, no peace

So let me fucking sleepWhen death comes cheap

What’s the point, what did I miss?Broken hearts on bloody wristsYou found heaven in a needles’ kiss

ONESEVENSEVENZEROONETHREE

This is not oyasumiThis is how it’s supposed to be

No hope, no peace

消えたい

Below are some reactions to the song:

“This song made me go read the manga, I love your band, but man, this is dark. BUT GOOD JOB, guys.”

“When you’re brutal but love ‘CULTURE’ doujins.”

“This is incredible; your storytelling is on another level, amazing vocals as well.”

“I wish this number would vanish from my mind, but at the same time, I appreciate the experience of having read it.”

“I like how this song captures the feeling of reading 177013, the anger towards her mother, father, and all the guys and people who failed her.”

Band Releases Metamorphosis-Inspired Jacket

Two weeks ago, the same band released a jacket with stylized artwork of Saki, for those who like it, it’s cool, but I find it a bit too gory:

Metamorphosis is truly a milestone in the world of NSFW manga, even giving rise to music. Who would have thought, right? Although it’s not a music style I personally enjoy, it’s nice to see this kind of creativity.
