Although they sing in a Japanese accent, I like this song

BEAT CRUSADERS - GHOST

"I saw a dream That the world's disappeared
I thought I'd be Breaking down every rule
I saw a dream That the world's in a scheme
I thought I'd be Hiding out every clue


Here I am Watching the people's laughter
Here I am Watching those people

I'm in love with a ghost It's a beautiful thing in the world
I'm in love with a ghost Such a beautiful thing in the world"

You take a stranger by the hand
A man who doesn't understand
His wildest dreams


You walk across the dirty sand
And offer him an ocean
Of what he's never seen


Maybe I was blind
Or i, I might have closed my eyes
Maybe I was dumb
But what I forgot to say
If you didn't know
Is never let me go


Never let me go
Never let me go

Never let me go


You run from love and don't believe
Unless it catches you by the heel
That even then, you struggle


From red I learned to cross the strand
Your footprints still there in the sand
Everything else, washed away


I may not be alone
Oh i, I may have found my home
I may have lost my way
But what I forgot to say
If you didn't know
Is never let me go


Never let me go
Never let me go

lil wayne - you ain't know

This is a Scott Storch and I'm a hot torch
And gettin' money is my sport
And understand the rap game is my court
So I shall walk and come forth like a Rockport
Or some sort of... matchin' slippers or yacht shoes
See I don't cruise control I control the cruise
Yes... I gets throat on a boat
And I vow to never fall like soap on a rope and

I got a lot of loot and I ain't lookin' for a lady
And you can never pay me I'm from Uptown baby
I wake up in the mornin' take a piss and wash my hands
Take a knee and thank the Man then get back to the money
You ain't know I gotta go
Where ya goin'? I gotta get back to the money......

Ayumi Hamasaki has to be among one of my favorite lyricists. She writes with such honesty and personal experiences. No false thoughts or even imagination. She really does sing from the heart, you can tell by the emotion she puts into live performances. [And it's quite funny when she forgets the lyrics to 'Trauma' and replaces them with 'Lalalalala!'.]

Song for XX

' Why am I crying?
Why am I lost?
Why did I stop?
Please tell me
When will I grow up?
How long can I stay a child?
Where have I come running from?
Where am I running to?

I had no place to live. I couldn't find one.
I don't know if I could have any hope for the future.

They always said I was a strong child.
They praised me, saying "you must be strong to not cry."
I didn't want those words at all.
So I pretended not to understand.'

I believe the song was related to her father that she never seen. And also, it's about an weak, childish girl who is Ayumi. Ayu said in an interview that she doesn't want to be an adult, that she wants to have her childish side.


Shiina Ringo is another one of my favorites. Along with her nasally voice, her lyrics also give her music character. Her lyrics are hard to decipher, with a crap load of puns and flipped kanji. But her lyrics often depict aggressiveness or sweetness.

Gibusu

'You always want to take pictures
but I always hate that
because if I were a picture, I?d become old, wouldn't I?

You always say ?forever?
but I always hate that
because if our love cools, then even that would be a lie.

Don?t you think? I 'wana' be with you

Right here
For ever and ever and ever.
No one knows what tomorrow will bring
so hold me tight.
Hold me tight, darling.'

Okay, the title 'Gibusu' means the substance that is used to make plaster casts. You know, when you break an arm or leg that you have to wear an cast. She is saying that she wants to be as close to her lover like an cast on a leg or arm.

--

Shing02. He's a Japanese rapper, but also raps fluently in English. Out of all the rappers I have listened to, his lyrics depicts reality the most. Like Ayu's lyrics, it's not fake. It's not about money, sex, drugs, murder, etc. And it's not 'giving that big booty a slap!'. xD His word play is brilliant and he has a nice flow. His lyrics reflect both dreams and reality, something I can relate to. I love to listen to his words and let the vivid pictures form in my head.

Anyways, NUJABES + Shing02 = Pure awesomeness. NUJABES makes very smooth beats, his music is great. =D

Luv(sic) pt.3

' *It's funny how the music put times in perspective
Add a soundtrack to your life and perfect it
Whenever you are feeling blue keep walking and we can get far
Wherever you are

Like a movie that you can't predict
Like a book that you can't resist
I sing along a song that's oh so sensual
bring along a sip to make it all so sexual
verbally that is, making love to the music means vibing to the beat at night
with the whole city fast asleep, out cold
true words seem to rise to the lips, take hold
of a poet in me, most powerfully
I feel free when the world doesn't owe it to me
It's so hard to find a gig that lives up to the billing,
trying to find a reason to work, god willing
I admit, my thinking is wishful
like a star upon a child gazing up to the ceiling
how far do we have to stretch the truth
to fit the lifestyles borrowed and overdue
we can take it all back to the register
and start all over from the canister
let's break it all down into pieces of bright
moments that pass by like a meteorite
throw on your favorite reel that's good to go
on the analog player watch the people glow
sit back to the breeze let the memories flow
comedy tragedy all the highs and lows

*chorus

Like your moves that I can't predict
Like your look that I can't resist
The ting-a-ling feeling was oh so mutual
the lingering appeal was so unusual
herbally what is, medicine to a lone soul can become poison to some
with the whole body fast asleep, out cold
true vision seem to come to the eye, take hold
of a prophet in me most visibly
I see clear when the world doesn't show it to me
It's so hard to make sense in a cycle of billing,
trying to find a reason to quit and make a killing
I admit, our dealing is painful
like a star upon a child staring down from the ceiling
how far do we have to stretch the picture
before pixelating the human texture
we can take it all back to the register
and start all over from the canister
let's save it all up for an ultimate prize
homecoming gathering with a big surprise
throw on your favorite record that's good to go
on the analog table and it's hooked to blow
sit back with ease and hear the emcee flow
hi hat kick drum all the highs and lows'

Dir en Grey's Kyo is one twisted lyricist. xD Seriously, go look at the lyrics for the album version of Embryo if you're really curious. I might be crazy for saying this, but he also writes beautiful lyrics.

Akuro no Oka

'we met in that place, didn't we. Now I can no longer do anything but...
we met in this town, didn't we. Now I can no longer love anyone but...

now you are on that hill, looking at this sky which we saw togehter.
now I am in this sky, we were there, looking at that hill.

the withering flower, like that time, even once more would be enough, it wants to bloom beautifully.
on this night, the heart and ideals melt into the darkness, at least just for tonight,
by your side.

meeting you in that place, everything began, now I can't do anything.
meeting you in this town, now I can't love anyone, with you again
on that hill

the withering flower, like that time, even once more would be enough, it wants to bloom beautifully
on this night, the heart and ideals melt into the darkness, at least just for tonight
our interlocked fingers loosen, I who am sinking deeply loved the you I last saw
a dream unfulfilled. I wait on that hill. I want to sleep with you, a dream unawakened.

the past may not return but in my rebirth I'll search for you
so until that time wait for me, but for now that hill is still... '

Well, from the translation notes I saw on centigrade-j, Kyo is the person who died. He longs for the person who waits for him on the hill and he is watching her from heaven.

Ain't Afraid to Die

'The road we walked back then is gone
but I still walk along it anyway.

The snow quietly falls on the gentle slope,
now I put your favorite flower in your room
even though I know it will never reach you.

when I remembered our unyielding promise
from last year's last day of snow, it began to melt,
and spill from my hands.

The snow quietly falls on the gentle slope,
now I put your favorite flower in your room
even though I know it will never reach you.

As I remember you watching the snow from the window all alone,
I recall you through the window and give you one last kiss...

please, smile, stop your crying now...
I'm always watching you from here.

The snow quietly falls on the gentle slope,
now I put your favorite flower in your room
even though I know it will never reach you.

All over the city quietly colored white by the light,
the last seasonal color you saw.
you shed tears, reality is cruel isn't it?
the last seasonal color you saw.

The colors of you have finally disappeared with the four seasons
the snow melts and flowers bloom on the street.
the "shades" you saw are melting.

the last day of snow this year
(one flower in the street, when I looked up to the sky,
the final snow was pouring from the palm of my hands)'

I'll just take the translator notes from centigrade-j. xD
Translator's Notes: If you hear this song which I assume you will have if you are reading this translation I think it'll be apparent but the lines in the first part before the instrumental break "please smile..." are Kyo taking the role of this girl whom is watching him from heaven or wherever. Takko had a theory about the end of the song which is not actually sung when performed. She believes the singer can't sing it because he dies before he can. The line "The colors of you have finally disappeared with the four seasons" we think is in reference to a year passing. In one year the girl's spirit has finally faded from kyo's world... but the snow coming again reminds him of her. I think "ain't afraid to die" is in reference to this feeling that when the singer dies, he and his lover will be reunited. Kyo says this song isn't connected to Akuro no Oka which is kind of the oppposite of this story, but I think it is. The song was a holdover from the Macabre Album recording sessions, it just didn't seem to fit on that record though.

I'll take care of you
Don't be sad, don't be blue
I'll never break your heart in two
I'll take care of you
I'll kiss your tears away
I'll end your lonely days
All that i'm tryin' to say
Is I'll take care of you
I want you to know that I love you so
I'm proud to tell the world you're mine
I said it before, I'll say it once more
You'll be in my heart 'til the end of time
I'll take care of you
Don't be sad, don't be blue
Just count on me your whole life through
Cause i'll take care of you

All I'll Ever Ask-Joshua Kadison

Love means so many different things,
but you're all that matters,
and this is all I'll ever ask of you.

Tell me your dreams, so they could be mine too,
let me be there, to help them come true.
Tell me your fears, when you fell afraid,
come to my arms, let me rock them away.

That's all I'll ever ask.
That's all I'll ever ask.
That's all I'll ever ask.
Of you...

Come to my shoulder, when you need to weep,
wake me up, when you cannot sleep.
Talk to me, when you want to be heard,
be silent with me, when you can't say a word.

That's all I'll ever ask.
That's all I'll ever ask.
That's all I'll ever ask.
Of you...

I can't swear that you never, have to cry another tear.
But whenever you want, someone to hold you, I'm always right here.

So just, come to me, for anything at all,
call my name, it's yours to call.
Fell my faith in you, when you can't find your own,
and always remember, you're never alone.

That's all I'll ever ask.
That's all I'll ever ask.
That's all I'll ever ask.
Of you...

I can't swear that you never, have to cry another tear.
But whenever you want, someone to hold you, remember, I'm always right here.

That's all I'll ever ask.
That's all I'll ever ask.
That's all I'll ever ask.
Of you...

Slippin-DMX

Ha ha ha ha ha ha uhh
See to live is to suffer but to survive
Well that's to find meaning in the suffering.


Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up
Ay yo I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I gots to get up
Get me back on my feet so I can tear shit up!
[Repeat]


I been through mad different phases like Masons
To find my way & now I know that happy days are not far away
If I'm strong enough I'll live long enough to see my kids
Doing something more constructive with they time
Than bids I know because I been there
Now I'm in there sit back & look
At what it took for me to get there
First came the bullshit the drama with my mama
She got on the fly shit until i split
And said that I'ma be that seed
That doesn't need much to succeed
Strapped with mad greed and a heart that doesn't bleed
I'm ready for the world or at least I thought I was
Baggin' (censored)s when I caught a buzz
For thinking about how short I was
Going too fast it wouldn't last but yo I couldn't tell
Group homes & institutions, prepare my ass for jail
They put me in a situation forcin' me to be a man
When I was just learnin' to stand without a helpin' hand
Damn, was it my fault, somethin' I did
To make a father leave his first kid at 7 doin' my first bid?
Back on the scene at 14 with a scheme
To get more cream than I'd ever seen in a dream
And by all means I will be living high off the hog
And I never gave a (censored) about much but my dog
That's my only motherfucka I had offered my last
Just another little (censored) headed nowhere fast


That ain't the half shit get's worse as I get older
Actions become bolder heart got colder
Chip on my shoulder that I dared a (censored) to touch
Didn't need a click cause I scared a (censored) that much
One deep went to for kicks
Catchin' vicks throwin' bricks gettin by bein' slick
Used to get high just to get by used to have to puff my L
In the morning before I get fly
I ate something a couple of forties made me hate somethin'
I did some coke now I'm ready to take something
3 years later showing signs of stress
Didn't keep my hair cut or give a (censored) how I dressed
I'm possessed by the darker side livin' the cruddy life
Shit like this kept a (censored) with a bloody knife
Wanna make records but I'm (censored)ing it up
I'm slippin' I'm fallin' I can't get up


Wasn't long before I hit rock bottom
(censored)s talking shit like damn look how that rock got him
Open like a window no more Indo look at a video
Sayin' to myself that could've been yo on the TV
Believe me it could be done somethin's got to give
It's got to change cause I've got a son
I've got to do the right thing for shorty
And that means no more getting high drinking forties
So I get back lookin' type slick again
Fake (censored)s jump back on my dick again
Nothin' but love for those that know how it feel
& much respect to all my (censored)s that kept it real
Kept a (censored) strong kept a (censored) from doin wrong
(censored)s know who they is and this is yo (censored)in' song
And to my boo who stuck with a (censored) through
All the bullshit you'll get yours because it's due



Can't get up...I gots to get up
This is from the heart baby, don't get it twisted
Ahh X RATED!!!!!

even though this song sounds like those dying like stuff but yet great song...kinda changed the attitude of this thread...everyone had like love songs then i come in with this...sorry


Now I will tell you what I've done for you -
50 thousand tears I've cried.
Screaming, deceiving and bleeding for you -
And you still won't hear me.
(going under)
Don't want your hand this time - I'll save myself.
Maybe I'll wake up for once (wake up for once)
Not tormented daily defeated by you
Just when I thought I'd reached the bottom

I'm dying again

I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through
I'm going under

Blurring and stirring - the truth and the lies.
(So I don't know what's real) So I don't know what's real and what's not (and what's not)
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can't trust myself anymore

I'm dying again

I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through

I'm...

So go on and scream
Scream at me I'm so far away (so far away)
I won't be broken again (again)
I've got to breathe - I can't keep going under

I'm dying again

I'm going under (going under)
Drowning in you (drowning in you)
I'm falling forever (falling forever)
I've got to break through

I'm going under (going under)
I'm going under (drowning in you)
I'm going under
