tell me why
tell me why
I don't know
I don't know
(I won't tell u why)
Changing is a wonderful thing
But it doesn't mean to lose yourself
You need an unwavering sense of self
Your core that you've come up until and will keep from now on
Of course there were some days
when I felt my limits, when I turned my back on it all
crouched on the floor, but
*I won't hesitate any more. I've got no regrets
It was my destiny to meet you
Because the one who gives me a reason to exist
and shows me what it means to be me
is always you
tell me why
tell me why
I don't know
I don't know
(I won't tell u why)
But you know, sometimes I have days when
I hate you so much I don't even want to see your face
And sometimes I think that I wish I would never see you again
But that doesn't mean that I can leave
In the end, you're always the one who I want closest to me
**Pushed down by gravity, pulled by gravitation
It was inevitable that I meet you
I can't fight it, all I can do is give in
Because without you to understand me,
I'm not me
If a perfect melody exists
I don't want to come across it yet
* repeat
** repeat
tell me why
tell me why
LADY DYNAMITE
Lately, well, not really lately
For a while now, I've noticed
Just how strong your desire is to control and monopolize
And I get that, but...
You know, it's like they always used to say.
Save the sleep talk for when you're asleep#
If you're awake, then how about talking about
something more serious, that won't make me yawn
After all, that heroic legend
has had so many additions made to it
That's it's not the original anymore
*Sorry, but could you be quiet?
No one can hear our voices
If you need to talk,
talk to you mommy, little boys. <3
I realize I'm talking for a long time, but
I'm tired of looking up at people through my lashes
And I'm sorry, but the voice I use to say appropriate comments in
has lowered two octaves.
You know, it's like they always used to say
Something about men's romanticism
But they're talking about emotions
that can't be put into words
And yet it's a speech contest of wordy yet feeble speeches given in loud voices
For a pack of sheep who can only nod in agreement
Sorry, but can you clear the street?
We want to pass through here
Even if we're heading to the same destination
Pleased to meet you, little boys <3
* repeat

#This is a phrase, that means "Don't talk about things that are unrealistic and stupid".
count down
The Shangri-La that I loved so ardently
Disappeared at the same time
as I was awoken by a fierce, cold wind
I won't laugh or cry
I've gone so far beyond despair
It's all nothingness now. I don't feel anything.
From far away I can hear it
Look, very soon is the beginning of the end
I don't need any sympathy for my left side#
If I'm at the depths of hell now
All I need to do is climb out
You told me firmly without any hesitation
What those words really meant is not important
There is so much that matters more
*From far away I can hear it
Look, very soon is the beginning of the end
Just pretend to watch it until the final moments
On your left side
I don't need anything else
From far away I can hear it
Look, very soon is the beginning of the end
I'll accept it head on, with my left side
* repeat
#This is a reference to the fact that Ayu is now almost completely deaf in her left ear
meaning of Love
The way you laugh so innocently, eyes crinkling
The way you suddenly sulk like a child
The way you are so easily moved to tears
If I listed everything I love about you
It would take forever
*No matter what happens, be yourself
Unchanging, unadorned, just the way you are
Treasure all of that
Because there is one and only you
I'm sure that these emotions
are what people call love
Things that I can only now laugh about
and make into a funny story
Things that just remembering makes my chest ache
I've got too many memories to count
and all of them speak to me sweetly
**So I don't need words
I just want you to be with me, to be by my side
What I feel so surely now is something formless
But I know that these emotions
must be what people call love
I've got too many memories to count
and all of them speak to me sweetly so
* repeat

I woke up and shifted my gaze to the window
When I saw the soft, strong light flowing in
For some reason, I began to cry
I wonder if you could hear? I wonder if you felt it?
The sky today makes me think that I'll be able to more forward alright
Yes, we live, treading this blue earth
Even if we can't heal all the sorrow unfolding in the world
If you're face down, just come to a stop
It's probably a sign that you shouldn't continue
The sky today is too high and too far away
So I can't breath right
Yes, we live, treading this blue earth
Even if we can't stop all the anger rampant in the world
The sky today makes me think that I'll be able to more forward alright
Yes, we live, treading this blue earth
Holding all the love that's still left in this world
It's still left in the world
For sure, there is still love here
Don't Look Back
Don't look back
*I can't go back. I won't go back. I've got no where to return to
No matter how I look back, I can't change it
You can paint it all over with pretty foot prints
But the one thing you can't fool is your own heart
Don't look back
Even if it's uncool
Don't look back
That's what makes it so beloved
* repeat
Don't look back
You can laugh
Don't look back
Because you got through it
**I want to move forward, but I can't. If your hesitating
It means that you're not undecided anymore.
It would be so much easier just to stop here
Buts no stimulation, nothing that sets your heart ablaze
Hey, if what we all remember
is the moment when we shown the brightest
That's just too sad
Don't look back
** repeat
* repeat
How will you chose to bring the curtain down?
Don't look back
sexy little things
What do you mean when you say "I love you"?
What do you mean when you say "You're number one"?
Tell me, just how many times does it take
before the gestures and hand movements come so naturally?
The subconscious is such a scary thing
I can't hate that you haven't realized yet but
Women never know anything
They just nod with luminous eyes
(If you think that) That's a big mistake
After all, you're in my hands now
What do you mean "I'll give you everything you've ever dreamed of"?
What do you mean "I'll make you happy"?
Tell me, isn't that what they call typical self-satisfaction?
Receiving isn't the only thing that brings joy
It's giving and receiving that's the real XXX
By always taking a passive role,
and acting like they have no will or desires
They provide you will an environment (where you can pretend to be in charge)
In other words, you're in our hands
* repeat
**repeat
hey!
A woman's heart is like some kind of sky#
No one can know it
#This is a take off on the proverb 'A woman's heart is like the sky of autumn, always changing'
This is the only one I'm leaving out of the cut, because I thought it was so moving, and it made me tear up...
Red line ~for TA~
We changed our tears into one single wish
And the miracle we saw on that day in that moment
was not an illusion
But it's a little sad, the way it gets swept away by the everyday
*Try and remember, if you feel despair
That this day today that you're trying to give up
is the tomorrow that someone somewhere didn't want to give up
And that I am holding your hand, so, so tight
By doing so, I want to accept with dignity
That the sun will rise again
Please don't be scare to take the first step
**Try and remember, when you run into a wall
That this day today when you think you may lose
is the tomorrow on which someone somewhere wanted to fight
And that I am holding your hand, so, so tight
And that no matter how far away we are, our hands are connected
