Mashingan Poemu Dooru

"It's the worst possible B2B, coming together and only pretending that everything's going well "
Machine Gun Poem Doll (マシンガンポエムドール - Mashingan Poemu Dooru) is a song cosMo released on October 3rd, 2021. It was commissioned by Project Sekai as part of the 1 year anniversary for the game. 
== Plot ==
The song is, at least in part, about rhythm games, and that's obviously because it was commissioned by Project Sekai, a rhythm game, but it does subtly reference Project Sekai and rhythm games in general, in both the MV and in the lyrics.
* In the MV, more specifically 0:30, letters fall to the bottom with the "miss" flashing every it does, as if the listener is playing a rhythm game and is missing every shot)
* In the MV, at around 1:13, We can see this again, this time it looks even more like playing a song in Project Sekai. And right after, we see a life bar being drained. Probably in reference to just how absurdly difficult this song is on Project Sekai.
These are just some of the references in the music video to Project Sekai, there are many more. I sadly could not figure out the plot is specifically about, but there are many interesting theories about what this song means. Here's a couple of theories:
* This comment theorizes that this song is about cosMo lamenting how his songs are only being seen as difficult in rhythm games, and so people don't try to figure out their deeper meaning. But there are 2 counterpoints: Daijoubu desu ka? and Yaminabe are both songs that mock rhythm game players in some way and that are both designed as obstacles, if cosMo is really lamenting how people see his music then why would he submit 2 songs to the Proseka ULTIMATE?

マシンガンポエム　ドールが唄う
ひしゃげてMy情緒
出せんじゃん声　隠していた
壊れた欲望絞り出して
几帳面なメトロノームとスピーカー
言いつけ守って品行方正　囀and囀sound
それで何がいけないの？わからなーい
寸分違わずしてほしい事してあげるから
「１，２，３，４」
首輪を嵌められ従順　抑圧され高揚
――まだ足りない
感覚を全部　三つ指で差し出して
「まるでバーチャルシンガーみたい！！！！！」
君のために喋る唄う声上げる恍惚
さあさ　共に踊りましょう
タブレット越しに覗き込んだその血走る眼でグリグリ見詰めて
刻んだ指指粉々にしても　つながってかない譜面に苛立ち
さあさ　共に唄いましょう
何も分からなくなって頂戴　焼け爛れた喉潰して慟哭
ぐちゃぐちゃどろどろな情念を確かめ合って慰め合って
あーあ　感情のバルブを閉じてられない
――罰ヲ与エヨ
「いけないんだー」
「いけないんだー」
上手くいってるだけの噛み合わせ最悪B2B
諸君の指を
粉々に
粉砕するぞっ！
ドゥダダダダダディダ　マシンガンポエム
弾丸充填装填 言葉の暴力(物理)
飛び散るライフへの手向けに
爆速テイル読み聞かせ
ドゥダダダダダディダ　出せんじゃん声
真性完全解放 ぶっ壊れた音楽
誰にも愛されなかった君の詩を
私が代わりに拾うの
だからそれは束縛
だからそれは溺愛
だからそれは狂騒
だからそれは復讐
諸君の指を
粉々に
粉砕するぞっ！
ビートマシンとありえないほどの高速縦連リリック
身体性の皆無の表現　一体誰の心を捕らえる？
引きちぎってそのライムアンドフロウ　結局要らないから残ったのは
君のためにそぎ落とした虚ろな歌声
「後生抱いて！！！！！」
ビートマシンとありえないほどの高速縦連リリック
完全性生まれない音楽　狂気を為して存在を示す
沸点バグって泡立つ感情　調子が崩れてしまいそうになる
リズムくために生まれた歌
「私だけが唄うの」
誰にも愛されなかった君の詩を
私が終わらせてあげる
誰にも唄えなかったその旋律を――
「君には私だけでいいの」

Machine gun poem doll sings
My crushed emotions
I can't let my voice out, I squeeze out
My hidden, broken desire
A precise metronome and speakers
Does its job exemplarily, a chirping and chirping sound
What's wrong with that? I don't get it
I'll do everything you want me to do, exactly how you want
“1 , 2, 3, 4”
Collared and obedient, repressed and uplifted
――Still not enough
Present all your senses with a formal bow
“It's like being a virtual singer!!!!!”
I speak for you, I sing for you, I raise my voice in ecstasy
C'mon! Let's dance together
I stared down at the tablet, grimly looking with my bloodshot eyes
Frustrated by the musical score that wouldn't come together even if I crushed my sliced-up fingers to a pulp
C'mon! Let's sing together
Please be unaware of everything, let me crush my burning throat and cry
Let us validate and comfort each other's messy, mushy passions
Aah, I can't keep my emotional valve closed
――Punish him.
“You're in trouble!”
“You're in trouble!”
It's the worst possible B2B, coming together and only pretending that everything's going well
Everyone! I will
smash your fingers
to bits!
Duda-dada-dada-dida Machine gun poem
Bullet filling and loading, verbal (physical) violence
Read an explosive tale aloud for me,
As a tribute to a life scattered in the wind
Duda-dada-dada-dida I can't let my voice out
An authentic, true release of a broken song
Your poem that nobody loved,
I'll pick it up for you
After all, that's bondage
After all, that's adoration
After all, that's mania
After all, that's revenge
Everyone! I will
smash your fingers
to bits!
Beat machines and impossibly fast vertical lyrics
An expression with no physicality, whose heart is it going to capture?
I ripped it off, that rhyme and flow, I didn't need it after all!
All that was left was the empty voice I whittled down for your sake
“Embrace death!!!!!”
Beat machines and impossibly fast vertical lyrics
Music that doesn't create perfection, showing its existence through madness
Feelings bubbling up with boiling point bugs, this tune feels like it's about to fall apart
A song born just to play its rhythm
“Only I will sing it!”
Your poem that nobody loved,
I'll finish it for you
The melody that no one could sing――
“You don't need anyone but me”
