You,
You claim to be a god
But all I see is fraud
Sad to be you
Sit down
And tell your metal fan
To stop blowing
The wind in my face
I bet you never thought
That it would have to come to this
The ones you've held in high regard
Fare still no better than the rest
So now I'm at a total loss
With no more care in the world
Yet I still live forever
I wanted to say
That I wanted you to stay
As far away from me
As you know how
But now you're no more
I still yearn to bear
My fangs at you again
As I knew how
You think I care if I soar high above your ground?
The difference parting us is something you have not found
Understand? I hope I've helped you
To realize your place
So thank me later for
Leaving you with some face!
I wanted to say
That I wanted you to stay
As far away from me
As you know how
But now you've come back
I still yearn to bear
My fangs at you again
As I knew how

And now for the weather.
Temperatures in the east expected to rise above 37… 38… 39…
Paint a picture if you will
Of the turbulent times
Behind, yourself is the waterline
You stand high, and try to define and defy,
with the so-called "power of mind"
You! I know you've learned to dream, but
Your enemies, too, want to dream
So watch out and play to the powers high
The benefits you hold are volatile
City's burnin', and where the hell are you?
(What they really want is nothing but some sovereignty)
City's burnin', and where the hell are you?
(When it comes to shove, I'll give you a cup of some burnt tea)
If killing the game's your desire,
Then go aim for the hands who hold the wire
The thumbtacks, fullbacks, what you believe for a fact
May not mean a thing to you
Any more than this might be too much for you to take
But that's how it goes
Now you know the fear
Just make the best of your time here (we go)
Is this really what you want?
Is this really what you need?
Is this what you wanna be?
Is this what you wanna see?
Is this who you really are?
It's easier to break out when you've nothing left at stake
And come whatever may, I'll deal with all of you the same
'Cause living in the mercy of my brothers in the sun
Can really burn me out, so just give me a call, when you're done
And now with the weather again.
It seems that today, the temperatures have been rising… and rising… and rising. We do not know when it will stop.
But please, keep up your guard.
City's burnin', and where the hell are you?
(What they really want is nothing but some sovereignty)
City's burnin', and where the hell are you?

Hey Mr. Bossman, do you think you have the rights?
Despite the things you've seen, you've yet to use your eyes
You think they owe you anything, my friend you're out of line
With your head in the clouds, you scream as they all laughed
It seems we've had a breach, in rationality
Yet everything's good
No difference if the sky is red or blue
You hear, the voices of distress?
They sound quite fine to me,
Yet all so far away
Get real
Hey lil' miss hivemind, did your mission go as planned?
Despite the things you've known, you just don't understand
The pack has taken over, looks like they all want more
With a fist in the air, you cried for your white nights
Do we all need this?
Do we all just want to resist?
It seems we've had a breach, in rationality
Yet everything's good
No difference if the sky is red or blue
You hear, the voices of distress?
They sound quite fine to me,
And still so far away
Get real
This song goes out to all of you
Who have nothing to do
In times like these it's best to just
Stay inside
It seems we've had a breach, in rationality
Yet everything's good
No difference if the sky is red or blue
You here? The voices of distress,
Exemplifying to me,
Angels are far away
Get real

taste the rain

It just dawned on you that days like this
May have to come to an end
Sooner or later you'll just have to taste the rain
And look at you, working so hard
On everything that's not yourself
You know some clouds can back you up
But they can also take you down
One too many seconds in the rain
Will make you realize
This ain't the way to be
An umbrella won't protect you
For when you've already drowned
And seeing streetlights from underneath the waves
So float on to the surface
You're never gonna miss this
Oh well, you tried
Get used to breathing with water in those lungs
'Cause in the end we're all just fated to taste rain
Now look at you working so hard
On, this time, nothing but yourself
Do you have something left to prove, yeah?
One too many seconds in the rain
Will make you realize
This ain't the life for you
An umbrella won't protect you
For when you've already drowned
And seeing streetlights from underneath the waves
So float on to the surface
You're never gonna miss this
I was informed of your application
I have read through your application
I have submitted my application
Now I will wait for my application
I was informed of your application
I have read through your application
I will have faith in my application
One too many seconds in the rain
Will make you realize
This ain't the way to be
An umbrella won't protect you
For when you've already drowned
And seeing streetlights from underneath the waves, oh
So float on to the surface
You're never gonna miss this
If you seek another purpose
Then disregard all that I've said

fall semester song
04:26
|
|||
|
There's no better place to be
Only by myself, I'm free
I'm free to be whatever I may be
However it may be
As long as I find truth in life, again
It's never been so hard
To breathe with my own lungs
I guess I've lost them
All for this
But blood, sweat, tears alone,
Won't be enough,
Without some will!
Life is just another struggle that,
I'll have to overcome
Lest I remain behind,
And waste
Waste away, long gone
In my own weaknesses
But unlike you, my friend
I'll only the pin the blame
For this, on me!
Yeah!
There's no better song to hear
Only by myself, it's clear
I will embrace whatever I hold dear
Away from all my fears
As long as I find peace of mind again
I won't throw this pathetic fight
While I still have the words to write
Look both ways now, Or else I just might
Crash my bike, and end this ride of
Life is just another mystery
I'll have to understand,
Lest I remain behind,
And waste
Waste away, long gone
In my own ignorance
But unlike you, my friend
I'll only the pin the blame
For this, on me!
All of this will come to an end
Even if we don't know what it meant
As I sail through the sea
Of my humility
I will sing my fall semester song
It's never been so hard
To wake up from a dream
I guess I lost it
All for you
Alrighty then
Class is dismissed
I'll see you fall semester come
May you know the meaning of
Life is just a new reality
I'll have to call my own
Lest I remain alone, and waste
Waste away, long gone,
In my own selfishness,
But unlike you, my friend!
I'll only the pin the blame
For this, on me!

小鳥の命を / Kotori no inochi wo /A little bird’s life
Kotori自分の手で / Kotori jibun no te de / We’ve soiled with our own hands
Который мы 忘れた / Which we have forgotten
Controlling の人生は / This life of controlling
終わらない / Owaranai / Will never end
The last dinosaur
I wonder what it saw, when there was nothing anymore
And now you try to soar
Upon the wings you've stolen from the efforts not of yours
I wonder when the wax melts and you'll
Fall to the ground,
Anytime
Your satellite won't get this
There's a sad lie underneath it
This macrocosmic joke
Will be observed no more
So keep laughin' while you can
When the time comes
I'll swear that someday
You will taste the sun
Take a hike into the cosmos
With Icarus in tow
And may it make you understand
The weight of the world
I saw the news today
Impressive how a man just throws all life in disarray
While underlings expire
While underlings expire, you're still a figure no-one asked for
Just pretending to inspire me (so look around)
And just like that, the world will end
In time, your guess is as good as mine
So what will you do
Once the fake moon falls?
I'll stay awake
'Til the day comes when
I will suffocate on
My own terms
Even when cars will fly
And machines will all talk
Still it matters not to me
Nor to anyone else
So keep runnin' while you can
When the time comes
I'll swear that someday
You will taste the sun
If your catastrophic dream
Lies far beyond the things we see
I'll make you understand
The weight of the world
No matter the phase of plan you see
(for my dream)
Still blind to reality
(for my dream)
But before you let yourself go
Let me pin just one more note onto the memo(ir)
Too many sudden setbacks pushin' me out of the zone
"Tomorrow"'s such a nice word
Such a shame that I forgot (just what it meant)
To be another case for you to stand on
This macrocosmic joke
Will be observed no more
So rejoice now, while you can
'Cause the time comes for you to
Throw yourself into the sun
Now that your only mission statement
Is paid out in full,
Then I hope you understand
The weight of the world

Today I showed your world
The way I fell into your standard
Tomorrow might yield the same results
But I’m not the only one, oh
To accept is indeed a virtue, one which we just can't accept
In which case, I’ll h take you all on, with all due respect
You may not be aware of what's to come,
But I’m happy knowing
There's still something left for you to figure out
I hope you'll also see it through to the end
'Cause I won't miss this
For the world, not even when this world goes down
This time I’ve figured out
The system right in the palm of my hand
Next time won't be so close,
I'll show them how I stand!
To deny is indeed their nature
One which they all deny
In which case I’ll have to cross you all out
With all due respect
You may not be aware of what's to come,
But I’m happy knowing
There's still something left for you to figure out
I hope you'll also see it through to the end
'Cause I won't miss this
For the world, but I’m sure it will miss me, yeah
This won't be the last you see of me
One day I’ll come back when I’m free
'Til then I hope you'll all take care
Let's meet again someday, somewhere
This won't be the last you see of me
One day I’ll come back when I’m free
'Til then I hope you'll all take care
(so long then, my friend)
You may not be aware of what's to come,
But I’m happy knowing
There's still something left for you to figure out
I hope you'll also see it through to the end
'Cause I know you'll love this
Just as much as I do when I’m at the wheel

All of the things
We hold so dear
Let's keep them close,
For as long as we stay
Before my mind forgets it
And before my heart regrets
Let me put some words and notes
Together as you sleep
I'll join you in a bit
And yet the town moves
Ever so slow
As if one's in space
This world can still be
So beautiful
I wish I had just been
A little bit smarter
But before it comes (before it comes)
The day when I’m out of range (I’m out of range)
Though I fear, I still walk ahead
So thank you for all the colors
You've breathed into this life
Did you get some decent rest?
The weather's been not so friendly,
Better days will surely come by
Sooner or later
But did you worry about me?
Might have been a fool, but frankly,
"better" ways don't always work for
Someone like me
Again the town moves
Ever so slow
As if one's in space
This world can still be
So beautiful
I wish I had just been
A little bit braver
But before it comes (before it comes)
The day when I’m out of range (I’m out of range)
Though I fear, I still walk ahead
So thank you for all the colors
You've breathed into this life
See you some other time
But before it comes (before it comes)
The day when I’m out of range (I’m out of range)
I still have to say my dues
So thank you for all the colors
You've breathed into my life
See you again somehow

To See the Next Part of the Dream
by Parannoul
supported by 21 fans who also own “seeyalater stratocaster”
Takes me back to my high school classroom during the days of binging Inio Asano's old manga scanlations before anything was licensed. At that time, I was discovering many kinds of Asian shoegaze, but I've never heard anything like this. Makes me think of Pasteboard, Supecar, and Midnight Pingpong a bit, and it's funny bc the first two I listen have blue album covers too.
