Duel Jewel – Against Lyrics

13 years ago

original japanese lyrics below. 錆びたレールの上　息もせず走り 辿り着いた場所で　夢見てたモノが何故見つからない 他人の視線が気になる 弱い自分を嘘で固めだす 変わりたいけれど どうせ誰も僕は要らないなら せめてその脳裏に刻んでやる 閉じたドアの前で 痛みは消せない　今は牙をむき出せ 声は届かない　けれど叫び続けたい I still believe worth your life I've been trying way too long I believe... この胸に湧き上がる感情を 五線譜に叩きつけるだけ これが俺らの存在意義だ 泥をすすり這いつくばり 最悪の中で見た最高を 胸に焼き付けろ 懐かしい空気の中微笑む やっと見つけ出した大事なモノ さぁドアを開いて その手を伸ばして　力強く踏み出せ 枯れた世界で　キレイに咲き誇れ 痛みは消せない　今は牙をむき出せ 声は届かない　けれど叫び続けたい

New Order – Run Wild Lyrics	13 years ago
Very heartfelt and sincere. Pretty sure everyone could relate this song to their loved ones at certain points of their lives. FYI: This is a very personal song to Bernard Sumner, according to the man himself, and he always regrets that they didn't put this out as a single.

Duel Jewel – hana uta Lyrics

13 years ago

English translation for non-Japanese readers. Snatched from Cheesecake's fan site. One, I was born into this world Two, the twin flowers have been thinned* Three, let's show how magnificently they bloom Four, the light of akasen's lamps* in the night sky Five, before I knew it, even in Kyoto Six, the coldness of January is penetrating Seven, the scent of summer hangs in the air I become pained because of kindness.* I met you, and my heart was stolen, even though I know it's a love that won't come true. I am embraced by this fever which dyes my skin*. sakura, sakura the nights add up. I will become a beautiful flower. sakura, sakura you are beloved, therefore I wait as a bud for spring. As I am embraced by you, the more my chest hurts from the memory of the kanzashi.* Forgive me, I am weak, for it seems I will be crushed by sadness. Even if this body becomes dirty, my heart will remain unchanged since that day. sakura, sakura for just one night, I will become a beautiful flower. sakura, sakura the flowers that scatter away, Why do they dance fleetingly in the wind? Tonight I search for you, lost. The flower petals are scattering tears. sakura, sakura when it withers then this pitiful love will also be over. sakura, sakura I hold my beauty in a vividly decorated sash, longing for spring to come One, I was born into this world Two, the twin flowers have been thinned Three, let's show how magnificently they bloom Four, the light of akasen's lamps in the night sky Five, before I knew it, even in Kyoto Six, the coldness of January is penetrating Seven, the scent of summer hangs in the air I wonder, does it bloom in sickness, the flower of suffering?

L'arc-en-ciel – Shutting From the Sky Lyrics

16 years ago

塞いだ目を照らされる 木々から差す木漏日に 腕を引き導くのは誰？ 拒み続けた広がる世界に連れ出され 目を奪われる 穏やかな笑みに包まれ 暗く沈み込んだ色は 全て塗り替えられて行く 過去は崩れて胸の底の積もり 影が光に消されて… Shutting from the sky fallen in to Claustrophobia 導く白い手がもう… Shutting from the sky fallen in to Claustrophobia 見えない様な気がして はじめて時を想う 過去にもどれないのを… うつり変わる世界を… 早くてもここ地良い流れを 私は感じる 全て塗り替えられて行く 過去は崩れて胸の底の積もり 影が光に消されて… Shutting from the sky fallen in to Claustrophobia 穏やかな声がもう Shutting from the sky fallen in to Claustrophobia 聞こえない様な気がして…

Miyavi – Tsurezure Naru Hibi Naredo Lyrics

16 years ago

何で生きてるのか?　何で死んでくのか? なんて草や花　動物も皆、わからないまま それでも精一杯ただただ必死に生きてる 繰り返す日々　堂々巡りの日常で 死ぬ為だけに生きてんじゃない また生きる為に死んでくんだ 皆　そこに意味を探しながら 苦しいだけが人生じゃないけど 楽しいだけの人生もない 山あれば谷もある 海も空も僕もここにいるさ 逃げ出したい夜もあるだろうけど 明けない夜はない だから僕らは明日に夢見て 歩いてく　歩いてく 景色と一緒に　あの夏の思い出も色あせてく 消えないで　消えないで　願ってみても 思い出は泡の様に　はじけてく 目をつむれば皆　そこにいて 耳をすませば　笑い声 手を伸ばせば触れそうなのに 目を覚ませば　一人きり 時に懐かしさと侘しさがこの胸しめつけるけれど それでも僕ら夢見て歩いてく 歩いてく　その景色と一緒に あの夏の思い出も　色褪せてく 消えないで　消えないで　と願ってみても 思い出は泡の様に　はじけてくから 忘れない様に　いつまでも　ここで唄い続けてるよ　聞こえるかな もしいつか　この唄が届いたなら あの頃みたく　一緒にまた笑えるかな あの頃と変わらずに　ふざけあったり くだらない冗談とかも言い合えるかな 思い出は泡の様に　すぐはじけちゃうから 忘れない様に　忘れない様に　唄うよ

Miyavi – Hi no hikari sae todoka nai kono basho de Lyrics

16 years ago

Looking up to the skies of this place where the sun doesn't shine Without blinking, I tried following the fast-forwarded motion of the clouds. It was terrifying. When I close my eyes, everything seems to turn into lies. And the wind crying out, as it seems to put the torn pieces of clouds together. Then, all of a sudden, it's as if I"m blown away. But a little shake is nothing. As long as I keep my eyes forward And push on straight ahead without stumbling on my way. If I do that, one day I'll probably be able to catch up with those clouds, too. It's never-ending, this long journey ahead And even if there was only despair, I want to believe it's fine because there are hope and dreams ahead. Though there aren't any trails where to go, I can already make one by myself. Even with my eyes closed, I can walk this path as long as I keep my ears open. Then, I'll change it all, these really useless and boring values and predudice. No such thing as a meaningless, worthless or stupid dream, I'll show you. That's right. I'll change without changing. Isn't that out destiny? I have no choice but to grab a hold of it. I wonder how long I should keep on walking I wonder how far I've walked 'til now Even if you look back, this wilderness keeps on getting bigger and the path ahead keeps going on On this road of lonliness, I start to think Even if life is full of pain and suffering, meeting you wan't such a bad thing, so long as it keeps my mind of it all. So just for a bit more, won't you stay and not let go of my hand? Looking up to the skies of this place where the sun doesn't shine.

Miyavi – Hi no hikari sae todoka nai kono basho de Lyrics

16 years ago

陽の光さえ届かない この場所で　空見上げて 早送りの雲の流れを　目をつぶらずに追ってみた 怖かったんだ　目を閉じれば　全てが嘘になりそうで ちぎれた雲と雲の隙間を　つなぐ様に風が叫んでる ふいに吹き飛ばされそうになるけれど、 少しくらいのブレはかまわない　ただ前だけを見つめて 真っすぐに　ただ揺らぐ事なく突き進むのさ そうすれば　いつかは　あの雲にも追いつけるだろう 終わらない　この長い道のりの続く先に たとえ　もし絶望しか無かったとしても その向こうには夢や希望が 綺麗事でもいいから在ると信じてたいね 道しるべはないけど　もう自分で作れるから 目つむったままでも　耳をすまして歩いていけるさ そしてマジくだらない　つまらない　価値観や偏見なんて　変えてやるよ 意味のない　価値のない　無駄な夢なんてないって事　見せてみせる そう　変わらずに変えていくのさ 俺達の未来だろう? この手で掴んでくしかないのさ どれくらい　この先　歩けばいいんだろう どのくらい今まで歩いてきたんだろう 振り返っても広がる荒野と果てしなく続く道があるだけ 孤独な旅路(みち)の上で今　思う たとえ人生が痛みや苦しみで出来てたとしても それを拭(ぬぐ)う為　君と出会ったのならそれも悪くないさ だからもう少しだけでいいから この手を離さないで居てくれないか

Yui – Rolling Star Lyrics

17 years ago

Here's the english translation. I want to live in a world of peace Without conflict, like the one I’ve seen in my dreams I just can’t keep it inside I’ve gotta say what I wanna say The bus stop at twilight, on the way home Saying bye bye bye to the sad backs of others Your face doesn’t show your fighting pose A world like the one I’ve seen in dreams Without conflict, daily peace But in reality I sometimes worry about Love and the day to day grind Those rolling days! You would never hold a lie, no never All my loving, without it, I can’t go on Sweet love like I’ve seen in my dreams Lovers searching for hidden faces But in reality the days we can’t meet Continue on, but I believe lonely days Oh yeah oh even if you stumble, way to go, yeah yeah A muddled rolling star

BT – Somnambulist (Simply Being Loved) Lyrics	20 years ago
BT is right, if you take it like "some me some love, bro!" people who yell "NAW!!! simply being loved is NOT enuff!!" are just dorks. 'cos a human totally void of love will literally die, really. all the great things he's done will mean fuck all.

Aimee Mann – It's Not Lyrics

20 years ago

this tune, along with others on this album, has helped me get over some of my darker days in autumn 2002. listen to the chorus again, no one writes about alienation better than aimee. i'm sure we all have wanted to take a turn at a certain stoplight of our lives, yet when the light changes for the 22th time, we're still stuck in the middle. procrastination is addictive too, so fuck procrastination.

A Perfect Circle – The Outsider Lyrics

20 years ago

i found the video quite enjoyable, as it's a "fuck you" to those over-produced pop videos with no substance nowadays, and the v/o's are hilarious. noticed the shopkeeper boy at the end of the video, named maynard? nice message to those who think changing their names to "maynard" would make them cooler... i think this song was written for attention whores in general, and i sometimes happen to be one of them, when i "think about it". yea, they were right about you.

New Order – True Faith Lyrics

21 years ago

this is from the songwriter, Bernard Sumner himself, during an interview for Q magazine in 1999. "(True Faith) is about drug dependency. I don't touch smack but when I wrote that song I tried to imagine what it's like to be a smackhead and nothing else matters to you except that day's hit. There's a line in the song, 'When I was a very young boy, very young boys played with me/Now we've grown up together, they're afraid of what they see." The original was, 'Now they're taking drugs with me,' but Stephen Hague our producer made us change it because he said it wouldn't be a hit if we kept that line in. He was right. It was a very big hit, but we chickened out. I change it back sometimes live."
