まともじゃ飯は炊けない (Cover) “You Can’t Cook Rice If You’re Not Okay”
Melancholic yet witty Japanese alternative rock song, sung by a female vocalist with a fragile but expressive voice, The lyrics explore loneliness, mental instability, and the absurdity of daily life with dark humor and poetic realism, Mid-tempo (around 95 BPM), The sound combines elements of indie rock and grunge, with dry guitars, minimal drums, and a raw, emotional atmosphere, Vocals should feel intimate, slightly detached, as if whispering confessions to herself, Subtle reverb, lo-fi texture, and natural dynamics, The tone shifts between despair and quiet acceptance, ending with a sense of fragile hope, No English lyrics, only Japanese

Lyrics
朝起きたら夢だった
また夢だったって夢だった
歯ブラシが乾いてて泣いた
あの夜から誰も来てない
正気のフリは肩こるし
狂気は全裸じゃ寒いし
中間地点でシャドーボクシング
相手は誰？……まあいいか
まともじゃ飯は炊けないし
愛では風呂も沸かないし
承認欲求は三角コーナーで
ぐちゃぐちゃに発酵してます
「私は正常です」って
履歴書に書いた時点で
だいぶヤバいの 分かってる
でも まあ、生きてる
感情の配線バチバチ
電圧高めの自傷回路
笑顔のつもりで歯を剝いたら
犬と間違えられた ウーッ、ワン！
欲しいのはハグじゃなくて
存在のレシート的なやつ
返品不可 現金不可
それでも今日を通過中
まともじゃ恋もできないし
病んでる奴ほどモテるし
「それも君らしさだよ」って
言ったやつ 誰？ 呼べ！今すぐ！
「心が豊かです」って
SNSで書いた時点で
わりと乾いてる バレてる
でも まあ、笑ってる
情緒が不安定（アンステーブル）でも
炊飯器は動いてるし
湯沸かしポットもピッて鳴るし
…なんだ 案外生きてるじゃん？
「そうだ 案外生きてるじゃん」

Verse 1
Woke up this morning — just a dream.
Another dream saying “it was just a dream.”
My toothbrush’s dry, and I start crying…
No one’s been here since that night.
Verse 2
Acting sane gives me shoulder pain,
Being crazy feels too cold and bare.
So I’m shadow-boxing in the middle ground —
Who’s my opponent? …Whatever, fine.
Pre-Chorus
Being “normal” won’t cook my rice,
And love can’t heat a bathtub either.
My craving for validation’s fermenting
In the kitchen trash — bubbling away.
Chorus
“I’m perfectly normal,” I wrote
On my résumé — that alone proves I’m not.
Yeah, I know I’m kind of messed up…
But hey — I’m still breathing.
Verse 3
Emotions sparking, wires misfiring,
High-voltage self-damage circuit.
Tried to smile but showed my teeth too much —
Someone thought I was a dog. Grr… woof!
Verse 4
What I want isn’t a hug at all,
But something like a receipt for my existence.
No refunds, no cash back —
Still, I pass through another day.
Pre-Chorus 2
Can’t date anyone while being “normal,”
And somehow the broken ones get all the love.
“Hey, that’s just who you are,” they said —
Who said it? Bring them here! Now!
Chorus 2
“My heart is rich,” I wrote
On social media — yeah, totally exposed.
Dry as sand, cracked but smiling…
Anyway, I’m still laughing.
Bridge
My mood is unstable (un-stable), yet
My rice cooker still works,
The kettle still beeps when it’s done.
…Guess what? I’m kinda alive after all.
Outro
Yeah — turns out I’m still alive.
