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.
思い出せば遥か遥か
未来はどこまでも輝いてた
きれいな青空の下で
僕らは少しだけ怯えていた
懐かしい色に窓が染まる
前を向いてればまた会えますか
未来はどこへでも続いてるんだ
大きな看板の下で
時代の移ろいを見ていたいな
二度と会えぬ人に場所に 窓を開ける
思い出せば遥か遥か
未来はどこまでも輝いてた
きれいな青空の下で
僕らはいつまでも眠っていた
ずっと前に好きだった人 冬に子供が産まれるそうだ
昔からの決まり事を たまに疑いたくなるよ
ずっと忘れられなかったの 年賀状は写真付きかな
わたしたちに出来なかったことを とても懐かしく思うよ
青空の下 ah

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
I Can't Go To Sleep

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
this is an amateur translation by me. watch out.
if i remember - far, far away the future shines into forever beneath the beautiful blue sky, we were frightened, but only a little
in nostalgic colours, a window is stained
to turn behind, can we meet again the future continues into forever beneath this huge billboard, i want to see the fading of this time
to those never met again, somewhere open a window
if i remember - far, far away the future shines into forever beneath the beautiful blue sky, we were sleeping, eternally
who i liked so long ago in winter i heard will have a child the thing that is decided from long ago once in a while i begin to want to doubt it was never forgotten i wonder if there will there be a photo in the next new year's card the thing that we could not do comes to me so nostalgically
i LOVE this song. god.
to me, this is a song about time passing, looking back at how childish we were, and looking forward to the long future ahead of us. i think it captures stable friendships of young people becoming adults perfectly.
also i noticed a translation mistake. the future shined into forever, in the past tense.
but yeah. it's a beautiful song of moving forward. childhood may glitter, but the future continues forever.
Oh well, it's a far better translation than I could ever give. Is she saying something in the background? It's hard to tell...
I love this song! Definitely one of my favorites from Utada. It's really catchy, and the music is very capturing. The part I love most is on the version of "Passion" from the video game, Kingdom Hearts 2. . . ."My heart's a battleground". The way the music is when she says that is just....wonderful.
happy sigh This song is so beautiful. Defnitely a change from Utada's usual style, but I really like it. :D
Yeah, there are definitely a few english lines thrown in the Kingdom Hearts version. Near the end it sounds like she is saying "my fears, my lies."
What she's singing in the background that sounds warped and is repeated throughout the song is actually a deliberate reversal. When you listen to that clip of the song reversed, she's singing, "I need more affection than you know." I absolutely love it all. Utada's brilliant.
i luv this song!i heard it for the first time on the kingdom hearts 2 trailer (the faster version of the song)and i fell in love with it!i think it ties in better with the game than simple an clean too.it also sounds really good in the "after the battle version"
Ooh, yeah, I just read the lyrics elsewhere with that in it. Thanks, though. That's why I couldn't get what she was saying (hahaha)
