With the kids sing out the future
Maybe, kids don't need the masters
Just waiting for the little Busters (oh yeah...)

With the kids sing out the future
Maybe, kids don't need the masters
Just waiting for the little Busters (oh yeah...yeayea yeah!)

Iro asanai KIDDONAPPU MYUUJIKKU
Te to te ga shitte iru
Onaji DOA o NOKKU shitai
Kono koe ga kikoe tara tobi dashite

With the kids sing out the future
Maybe, kids don't need the masters
Just waiting for the little Busters (oh yeah... yeah yeah yeah!)

With the kids sing out the future
Maybe, kids don't need the masters
Just waiting for the little Busters (oh yeah...)

With the kids sing out the future
Maybe, kids don't need the masters
Just waiting for the little Busters (oh yeah...yeayea yeah!)

Hazure yasui TIIN EIJI-GIA
Korogaru hihi mo
Sora to umi to daichi wa tada, aruga mama
Itsumo demo nige naize

With the kids sing out the future
Maybe, kids don't need the masters
Just waiting for the little Busters (oh yeah...)

With the kids sing out the future
Maybe, kids don't need the masters
With the kids sing out the future
Maybe, kids don't need the masters...

With the kids sing out the future
Maybe, kids don't need the masters
Just waiting for the little Busters (oh yeah...yeah yeah yeah!)

    Well, by just looking at the English it looks like it's about kids not needing as much directioning as society thinks they do.

    would you people knock it off,just cuz they lend their songs to the flcl soundtrack doesn't mean the song(or any of their others songs) is about the goddamn show.you people are so fuckin' ignorant.the song is about the japanese youth and their struggle to free themselves from their elder's clutches.

    That's kinda close to what FLCL is.

    Actually, many of the songs featured in FLCL of their's were made specifically for the show.

    Don't believe me? Wiki the pillows. And get off your high horse =D

    Yeah, it's certainly modeled to the plot of FLCL. It very clearly fits... It kind of reflects how much Naota is trying to act like an adult (metaphorically seen in his choice of sodas, among other things) while at the same time, there are characters like Mamimi doing their best to be as childish as possible. Does anyone know where I can find an English translation?

    OK, no, this is ridiculous. I just registered because this annoys me so much.

    This song was not written for FLCL, and it is not a "FLCL song". It is not "modeled to the plot" or any such nonsense. Ride on shooting star and I think I can were, and that's it. LITTLE BUSTERS, the song and the entire album, were written back in 1998, before the show.

    FOR ANY PILLOWS LYRICS, please go to pirouzu.net, a.k.a. the fansite "instant music", not here...there are official lyrics and wonderful translations of nearly all the band's songs to date.

    As for the meaning, I'm not sure, exactly, and I'm honestly not going to try to analyze it at the moment. I will note, however, that Buster is the pillows' mascot, first appearing on LITTLE BUSTERS, after a stuffed animal thing that they found in London (which you can see at the beginning of the HYBRID RAINBOW promotional video, in one of the middle tile pic things in the LITTLE BUSTERS booklet, and on the front of the Hello, Welcome to Bubbletown's Happy Zoo (instant show) DVD). I think the name Buster came from somewhere else, but I can't remember off the top of my head. "Little busters" are fans of the pillows.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
