Following is an interpretation of RIngo Sheena's lyrics of her first album 無罪モラトリアム not guilty moratorium;

1. 正しい街 A town of Rightness

This song is about memory of her and her boyfriend at that time at her home town Fukuoka.
She considered that it was a right choice for her boyfriend to going out from her place.

One year after his depature, she decided to follow him and move to Tokyo to live alone by herself.

2. 歌舞伎町の女王 A queen in Kabukicho

Kabukicho is the most famous city with sex industries.
This is a fiction story about her and her mother who worked in the industry and she considers herself she is very alike hermother.
At age 15, the mother abandoned her.

She guesses her to live with the guy who came to her mother's place on fridays.
She hates her mother but now she gaves up and decided to be a queen of the town like her mother.

3.丸ノ内サディスティック Sadistic at Marunouchi

Marunouchi is famous venue for office ladies.

In this song Ringo loves Tokyo but noticed that there is nothing there because after she came to Tokyo and salary is not goes up.

In this song names of wards in Tokyo, marunouchi, ochanomizu, ginza, kourakuen, ikebukuro appears and the song describes what happens in each venues.

At Ochanomizu she tries to get Rickenbacker 620 but it costs ¥ 190,000.- about $ 1900 and cannot afford to do that.
At ginza she play cops.
At Korakuen she offers to get sign on her receipt but there is no taxaccountants.
At Ikebukuro she tries to get laid with her boy friend and tell him to go to home by end train.

In this song, there are name of guitars, amps, another artist named Benji, the stage name of vocal of a rock n 'roll band Blanley Jet City.
This captures rock n ' roll fans' hearts and that is maybe the reason why she picks up this song and contains her live set list.

4, 幸福論 Philosophy of Happiness
This track is another version of her debut song.
She tries to seek real happiness and she at last figures out that is her boyfriend, who always be besides her crying and laughing by his real face.
And finally she reached one philosophy that the he there and is alive is the real happiness.

5.茜さす 帰路照らされど... Sky Turning to Red and Road Going Home is Lightened but ...

This song captures one scene that on the way going home.

At the very end of the song, 
she made English lyric and put a line by herself

It goes like this;

I place the headphones on my ears and listen 
Someone sings a song, I feel so blue 
Now darlin' promise me please tell me something words to soothe 
Don't wanna cry
I don't wanna cry

6.シドと白昼夢 Sid and Daydream

Needless to say, "Sid" is Sid Vicious of Sex Pistols.

In this song she describes her lover as Sid and on the past time 
She daydreams that she is Janis Ian with realizing there is real one.

Also this song captured music fans' hearts.

7.積木遊び Playing by Building Blocks

In this song, she describes her life with her boyfriend as a playing by building blocks.

Boy friend picks up "circle square" block and she also pick up triangle one and put it above that blocks.

She decribes their love as that kind of mistake they made on the game.
She also thinks her boyfriend is good at that game.

And she regrettes that mistake.

In the middle section of the song there is sound of Shamisen "Japanese traditional strings" and that means mixture of Japnese and western sounds.

8.ここでキスして。Kiss Me Here

This is considered as her masterpiece because this song made her to be known to mass.

In this song, Sid Vicious also appears and she describes herself as she is only the one who can put on handcuffs modern Sid Vicious.
That means her love is that kind of love that she restricts her boyfriend and watches only him. 

9.同じ夜 Same Night

In this ballad she found herself who is trying to self-actualization on the receiving clitics' criticism and warning herself who is forgetting her to confirm the roots of that kind of feeling.

And saying same night coming through even if her boyfriend is not here or she stop breathing.

10. 警告 Warning 

This is  song is about her complaining to her ex-boyfriend.
At the time she succeeded as an artist, he phoned to say sorry by saying "I was wrong at all" and offered rebirth of their relationship.
That made her motivation to write this song.

Eventually, she describes herself as an awkward figure and claims her motto to never has a way to wake up.

11.モルヒネ Morphine

The last truck is psychedelic song about drug morphine.
This song starts with noise then goes into strings part, wah guitar , on the main part of this song guitar break out and finally her falset voice end this song.
