Yamete!!!
0:00 / 0:30
This song argues that the real horror isn’t ghosts, zombies, or aliens, but ordinary people who normalize harm. It confronts how jokes, denial, and phrases like “boys will be boys” turn violence into something mundane. “Yamete” is a literal boundary, not fantasy, not a trope — a clear refusal. The fear here is a culture that treats damage as normal while calmly asking, “What’s the problem?” It challenges listeners to face what is happening in plain sight.

ヤメテってわかる??? [Verse 1]
It’s not the ghost that chills my skin
It’s you
Smiling casual sin
No rattling chains
Just keys you spin
At doors I never asked you in
It’s not the zombie dragging near
It’s how you drink my shrinking fear
You call it “boys will just be boys”
While tearing truth out of my voice [Chorus]
Yamete! Yamete! Yamete! Yamete!
means “Get the hell away from me”
Let’s be a bit more precise now. Yamero! Yamero! Yamero! Yamero!
means “Get the hell away from me”
Do you understand me? [Verse 2]
It’s not the ghost beneath my bed
It’s laws you wrote above my head
Screens that sell my pain as play
Then shrug and scroll the blame away
Not some monster from a tale
It’s your logic dressed as “fair”
You wear the monster like a skin
And call it simply being human
No alien lost in outer space
It’s the system in this place [Bridge]
“Not all men” — a polished shield
Watch who always leaves the field
You hide inside statistics thin
While bodies pay again, again [Final Chorus]
Yamete! Yamete! Yamete! Yamete!
means “Get the hell away from me”
Let’s be a bit more precise now. Yamero! Yamero! Yamero! Yamero!
means “Get the hell away from me”
Do you understand me?
