The suicide of Kurt Cobain tore a hole in the hearts of many Northwesterners and music lovers, as the death of the musician that spoke directly to the disaffected youth and helped revolutionize rock music by letting people know it could belong to the average man was something people latched onto and hailed him as an icon.

Moonage Daydream 2022

Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance 2009
I miss the old Asuka
Straight from the Go Asuka
Chop up the soul Asuka
Set on her goals Asuka
I hate the new Asuka
The bad mood Asuka
The always rude Asuka
Spaz in the news Asuka
I miss the sweet Asuka
Chop up the beats Asuka
I gotta say, at that time
I'd like to meet Asuka
See, I invented Asuka
It wasn't any Asukas
And now I look and look around
And there's so…Translated from by
