Lyrics

スイッチを押したのは　
私ではないのです

今日の朝　
私がとっても大好きな優しいパパが
ぐちゃぐちゃな血と肉片の塊になりました

工場で働くパパの仕事ぶり　
それを見ているのが楽しくて
毎日のように見学に来てました

赤いスイッチは　
とても危険だから
押してはいけないという　
言いつけも守ってました

スイッチを押したのは　
私ではないのです
スイッチを押したのは　
もう一人の私なんです

いい子でいようと　あれほど決めたのに
どうしてあなたは　勝手なことするの？
ねえ先生　
パパが死んだのは　オルターエゴのせいなのです

先生がくれた　
青と白の錠剤を
飲んでいればスイッチは　
入らないって言ってたじゃない

スイッチを押したのは　
私ではないのです
入れ替わるスイッチは　
いつの間にか押されていたの

生まれた時から私の中には
殺したがりの彼女が根付いていたのです

スイッチを押したのは　
私ではないのです
スイッチを押したのは　
もう一人の彼女なんだから

私は悪くない
私は悪くない
私は悪くない
私は悪くない
私は悪くない
私は悪くない

だから
その注射は打たないで
その注射は嫌いなのよ

SUICCHI wo oshita no wa
Watashi de wa nai no desu

Kyou no asa
Watashi ga tottemo daisuki na yasashii PAPA ga
Guchagucha na chi to nikuhen no katamari ni narimashita

Koujou de hataraku PAPA no shigotoburi
Sore wo mite iru no ga tanoshikute
Mainichi no you ni kengaku ni kitemashita

Oshite wa ikenai to iu iitsuke mo mamottemashita

SUICCHI wo oshita no wa

SUICCHI wo oshita no wa

The one who pressed the switch, it wasn’t me

This morning, my kind father who I loved a whole lot
Turned into a pulpy mass of blood and meat pieces
The way Papa worked at the factory, watching that was so fun that
About every day I would come to visit him

Because the red switch is very dangerous
I obeyed the order that I mustn’t push it

The one who pressed the switch, it wasn’t me
The one who pressed the switch, it was another me

I should try to be a good girl; though I decided to that extent
Why do you do things your own way?
Hey Doctor, Papa’s death was really my alter ego’s fault

Didn’t the doctor say that if I swallowed
The blue and white pill he gave me, the switch wouldn’t come on?

The one who pressed the switch, it wasn’t me
Before I knew it, the switch of changing places had been pressed

Ever since I was born, a girl who wanted to kill
Had taken root inside of me

The one who pressed the switch, it wasn’t me
The one who pressed the switch, it was another girl, so

It’s not my fault
It’s not my fault
It’s not my fault
It’s not my fault
It’s not my fault
It’s not my fault

So don’t inject me with that needle
I hate that needle!

Trivia

Conceptualization and Origin

The song's title contains the characters for the Japanese word 血みどろ (chimidoro); aside from meaning "blood-stained", the word also means "desperate" or "frantic", referring to the girl's struggle against her other, evil personality.
The word "switch" is a play on words, referring to both the the physical switch and the girl's "switch" between her personalities.
Because there were no ties period-wise to his other existing songs during that time, mothy purposefully chose the default outfit for MAYU as the design for the character.^[1]

Curiosities

The doctors' medical journal mentions Dissociative Identity Disorder, a real-life mental disorder characterized by the development of split personalities.
The medical journal also mentions adam and merry-go-round medicine; this may be a reference to Adam Moonlit and Alice Merry-Go-Round.
The song makes use of blue and red to symbolize good and evil, respectively; a similar color symbolism is also used in Full Moon Laboratory.
