  • PLEASE READ FOR TRANSLATION NOTES BEFORE YOU GET MAD
    Hello! You may be aware that a little over two years ago, I covered this song! Since that time, that video has become my most popular, which is pretty frustrating for me considering I did it in a day and completely rushed it to get it done for a school project.
    I had written the translyrics, recorded, tuned, and mixed it all in a day, so needless to say, it wasn't very good, but people kept using it for their Rick and Morty animatics so I knew I had to redo it and get the old one off my channel lol
    If you'd like to see the old one, It's just unlisted, so you can view it here - • 【Kikuo】 You Are A Usel...
    You may notice that the wording has changed rather dramatically from the original translation. "You are a useless child" is the generally accepted translation, however it has also been interpreted in many other ways. "Useless," "ineffective," "worthless," as well as "good-for-nothing." Though "useless" is the more widely known translation of this song, "good-for-nothing" fit the meter and syllable count much better.
    I changed it from "kid" or "child" to "boy", for a few reasons. "Boy" sound closer to "ko" was the biggest one. In the last chorus, I kept it to "boy," despite the singer in the original song being female. The main reason for this was because the singer's gender doesn't have a significant effect on the theme of the song- emotional abuse of a child from a parent. The fact that the singer is a parent is more important than their gender, as it isn't really relevant. I'm only bringing this up because in my original cover someone told me the singer was supposed to be a girl and it A. Isn't a significant factor and B. Is not something I can change about myself.
    I kept it as "boy" in the final chorus for cohesion's sake.
    Anyway, I hope this cover will make up for my inactivity lately, and I hope you can all see how much I have improved since the original cover!

    I just love the contrast of the chaotic scribbles of the child vs the parent's pattern of lines. It shows how distorted the child's view of themselves was from the constant degradation from the parent (whose lines all point to the child), and how even though the child's mental state is the main focus, it highlights how the parent was working through their own issues (probably went through something similar as a child, and is now using a coping mechanism, and hurting their own child) showing the cycle of abuse.
    EDIT: forgot to mention the parent's line all point down to the child, even when the child is grown up, which represents the condescending view of the parent.

    My theory:
    This is the story of an emotionally unavailable, impatient and haughty mother, who due to both those traits, end up being abusive to her son. She constantly degrades him, yet was not completely heartless and did show rare signs of affection, although even that affection was shown in a degrading and possesive way. This made the boy depend on her due to his lack of self esteem and neglect. His mental damage make him very incompetant for his age, further aggravating his mother. Despite her constant fustration, she still loved her son, just in an increasingly sadistic way.
    When the boy became a teenager, his denseness turned into dangerous behavior, and unable to bare his situation any more, he commited suicide.
    The mother discovers this, and cries in remorse and is rendered helpless due to loneliness and guilt.
    Also, since the original lyrics are gender neutral, it can also be a father who is this way.

    3:03 “I never really noticed but he was scarred” i think that’s what my parents think. They don’t think they’re mentally abusive. They were abused so I don’t think they knew they were hurting me and when they started to call themselves a good for nothing boy i remember when they found out I wanted and almost killed myself that they thought they were a bad parent. And I can’t really lie. They kinda are..

    while a lot of people see this as a mother singing to her son, i always saw it as an elder sibling singing to the younger one. The parents had their own issues and the elder sibling felt as if they had to raise the younger one but bc theyre still not very grown up they dont know how to do it correctly and get easily angry at them. Maybe this is just me self projecting idk. It makes more sense to see it as a mother and a child but theres so much i relate to that i kinda push my own meaning onto it. esp the "do i need to remind you that without me youd be dead" bc of how abusive the parents can be and how the elder sibling protects the younger from them.

      I see this too as it reminds me of my older brother, who is only 8-9 years older then me, taking care of 6 year old me at 15 and just getting so angry and making me always scared of backfire, loud and extremely nervous from all the degradation and the provoking questions (e,g; WHAT IS WRONG WITH, WHY MUST YOU BE LIKE THIS?!) growing up really messed me up but its whatever I can't blame him.
      Then he would cuddle me and tell me he loved me and he was sorry, to this day he still Denys anything and acts all love-y *(in a sibling way)* and cuddly with me
      Like i said. I cant blame him because He is suffering his own problems by himself and having to take care of Me and my 9 year old sister definitely took a toll on him.

      Im having mental breakdown today, and i see this.
      I also have a (7 year gap) little brother and I'm really reaching the point of wanting to commit the self vanishing act... But because i have my brother to look after, I don't want to do it. I want us to live until we reach our own dreams.
      I sometimes get mad at him and sometimes get to the point of slapping him sometimes... But i get bad for doing it and realizes a tactic that when I'm mad, I don't look at him, don't talk to him and avoid that i might be doing it again and again.
      So now I'm just listening to music and try to calm myself while my guardian screaming and screaming in the background.
      (I might be smiling right now and letting this comment flow through my typing, I'm getting calm.)

    im gonna add my interpretation because why not?
    a mother who continuously emotionally manipulates and verbally abuses her son, and after yelling at him she consoles him, hugs hum, loves him like a parent should to convince him this is normal, the kid grows up thinking all this is normal because that's all he's been told. even if you're told it's normal situations like this are still unbearable, the one unrealistic thing about this is when he kills himself at the end (i think) the mother calls herself stupid for driving him to the end, and i highly doubt she'd have the maturity to admit she fucked up.. or maybe this is becoming more of a personal analysis? aha ha

    Lyrics:
    You're such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    I just can't believe how good-for-nothing you are
    La la, la la la la la la
    La la la la la, la la
    La la la
    Studying, athletics, public speaking, you fail it all
    Honestly, you're such a pathetic and dirty boy
    And yet, in spite of that i couldn't help but fall in love with
    All the sobbing, struggling just to say your own name
    Snoty noses, flaky dandruff, shit and piss on the floor
    Sickening, cry baby and yellow-bellied, listen no more
    Baby, it's time to come here, save in my arms
    Tethered, never leave me, stay forever
    La la, la lullaby to drift off to sleep
    Now close your eyes and we can sing a duet
    Let's harmonize, harmonize
    Harmonize with me, oh, you friendless lonely boy, boy
    You're such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    I just can't believe how good-for-nothing you are
    You're such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    And need I remind you that without me you'd be dead?
    You're such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    Pitifully, pitifully, good-for-not-a-thing
    You're such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    Promise you that only I can save and keep you whole
    La la la la, la la la la
    la la la la, la la la la la la
    La la la
    Monster, phantom transparent human
    A urinal used as a gravestone, absent days from school
    Cracked and thin lips parting just to whisper any nasty insults
    Let's sit and listen to child wracked with sobs
    Still however, time continues to tick onward, marching, marching
    You don't have the time nor the brain to be patient, though
    No going back, sorry to say, you're "slow"
    Such a cute kid, good kid, you're mine and mine alone
    La la, la lullaby to drift off to sleep
    Before you close your eyes, why don't you join me and we'll
    Dance around, dance around, forever just dance around you
    Lonely, lonely boy boy,
    boy boy.
    You're such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    I just can't believe how good-for-nothing you are
    And you're such a lonely, a lonely, lonely boy
    Since I am the only person in your life
    But even so, he felt hollow, and he let me go
    Running from my side without so much as a word
    And i never really noticed it but he was scarred
    But even so he still ran and never looked back
    Boy, boy
    boy, boy
    I'm such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    Just what kind of person, drives their child to his end?
    I'm such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    I have nobody left to save me in the end
    And i'm such a lonely, a lonely, a lonely boy
    I'm lonely, I wasn't strong enough to save him
    And i'm such a lonely, a lonely, a lonely boy
    If only there was a way i could turn back time
    Ah
    Ah, la la la la la la la
    La la, la la la la la
    La la la la la la la
    La la, la la la la la la

      In the original song (idk about the first cover as I never saw it) the “slow” line used the actual slur, which lowkey added a bit of salt to the wound since the change gives that vibe of someone who only uses “nicer” terms to be patronizing (which I’m sure was intentional)

      @idonthaveanoriginalname2881 2 года назад +12

      I think this is actually what the song is about. There are very lot of parents that think saying this will make their child with a disability stronger when this just breaks down a person. I personally don't have anything diagnosed though my mother has literally implied I am mentally ill, but she doesn't want to waste money on me- 👌she had me in her 40s so it's pretty likely. 😀 (I'm homeschooled now after getting bullied so teachers can't point out any symptoms) according to my brothers she made them stop telling her to bring me to the doctors cuz in her words she already knows I'm "retarded" SHHEESH. These are crappy things to say to anyone I you think they are mentally ill or not. Without some of these words people with adhd or autism can live a completely full life without sadness.

    lyrics if anyone wants them ^^
    You're such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    I just can't believe how good for nothing you are
    La la, la la la la la la
    ~lalala~
    La la, la la, la la~
    La La La, studying, athletics, public speaking, you fail it all
    Honestly, you're such a pathetic dirty boy
    And yet, in spite of that, i couldn't help but fall in love with
    All the sobbing, struggling just to say your own name
    Snotty noses, flakey dandruff, shit and piss on the floor
    sickening, cry-baby, and yellow-bellied, listen no more
    Baby, it's time to come here, safe in my arms
    tethered, never leave me, stay forever
    La la, la lullaby to drift off to sleep
    now close your eyes and we can sing a duet
    Now let's harmonize, harmonize
    Harmonize with me oh, you friendless, lonely boy boy
    You're such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    I just can't believe how good-for-nothing you are
    You're such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    Need i remind you that without me you'd be dead
    You're such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    Pitufully, pitufully, good-for-not-a-thing
    You're such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    Promise you that I can only save and keep you whole
    La la la la. la la la la~
    La la la la, la la la la la
    La la~
    La la la, monster, phantom, transparent human
    A urinal used as a gravestone, absent days from school
    Cracked and thin lips parting just to whisper any nasty insults
    Let's sit and listen to the child wracked with sobs
    Still, however, time continues to move onward, marching marching
    You don't have the time nor brain to be patient, though
    No going back, sorry to say, you're slow
    Such a cute kid, good kid, you are mine and mine alone
    La la, la lullaby to drift off to sleep
    Before you close your eyes, why don't you join me and we'll
    dance around, dance around, forever just dance around you
    lonley, lonley boy boy
    boy, boy
    You're such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    I just can' belive how good-for-nothing you are
    And you're such a lonely, a lonely, a lonely boy
    Since I am the only person in your life
    But even so, he felt hollow, and he let me go
    Running from my side without so much as a word
    And i never really noticed it but he was scarred
    But even so he still ran and never looked back
    boy, boy
    boy, boy
    I'm such a good-for-nothinh, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    Just what kind of person drives their child to his end
    I'm such a good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing, good-for-nothing boy
    I have nobody left to save me in the end
    And i'm such a lonely, a lonely, a lonely boy
    I'm lonely, i wasn't strong enough to save him
    And i'm such a lonely, a lonely, a lonely boy
    If only there was a way i could turn back time
    Ah
    Ah, la la la la la la la
    La la, la la la la la
    La la la la la la la
    La la, la la la la la la
    La~, la la~, la la~
    la la, la la~

    My theory for this song is a parent and a child.
    The parent had many insecurities and such, they didn't have a good childhood. They didn't want their child to leave them, and went about it degrading the child and bringing them down and manipulated them into thinking they were nothing without the parent basically, but really, the child couldn't handle it. So the child took their own life, and now the parent is left realizing what they've done and now they're child is gone, because of them. So now they tell themselves they're good for nothing, and such.. Hope I put that simple enough

It really hurt listening to this song because I felt like if I stayed with my mom I would have ended up like this boy who gave up his life after all the scars that his mother put him through. But now I feel a lot better about myself and I hope that nobody has to go through what this boy goes through.

    i always try to make connections between songs i like and whatever interest i’m currently fixating on. at the moment, said interest is hunchback of notre dame, and HOOOO BOY is this song frollocore. and then i see the phrase “mine and mine alone” in these eng lyrics and it just seals the deal. but yeah...... excellent cover it’s good :]

    Although my mother doesn’t often say things like these, this with some other things makes me think she might be kind of abusive...
    AAAAAAAAAA I don’t know why but just her presence, her voice, her behaviour makes me feel bad, almost sick. I don’t know why. I know I don’t like her for many reasons, but just her existence makes me feel sick-
    Ah well.
    Shit.

      hey maybe you can reach out to some other adult or something to talk about that? Or look up types of abuse or abusive behaviours and see how much of that stuff your mom does? I hope things get better for u

      Oh geezes hey
      I didn’t try to do that yet because I’m afraid I might be overreacting, but I tried telling her this many times but she just acts like I’m overreacting and doesn’t change the way she acts.
      When we fight, she then acts like nothing happened (for example, calling me names and then saying “honey, dinner is ready!” and complaining/making fun of me when I won’t talk to her or look at her), when I complain about being tired or things like that she starts complaining about how she has it worse than me, she’s all smiles in front of people then says stuff behind their backs (she’s pretty fake-), she exaggerates things (for example: *my father becomes a little nervous* “gosh you’re so nervous all the time, calm down!!”)
      I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks her behaviour isn’t that good.
      I think I should try to talk to my brothers and maybe ask them what they think about her- (they’re both older than 20)
      Thanks for caring by the way qwq

    This song made me realize that even though my mom says some harsh things sometimes(she's not abusive like this) my mom just didn't know how to speak to me. The lyrics are of a parent who cares for the kid physically but is unaware of the emotional damage that words(from a parent especially) can bring
