Pearl in the shell
耀く瞬間(とき)
閉じ込めた光の 伝わるまで
重ねたい ずっと綺麗でいる
季節を追うように君を見てた
You're my special 波間に濡れる
白く艶やかな その
想いは何を写し出す?
薄く開く扉に
音もなく 滑り込んで
場面(シーン)を変える
一つ選ぶ宝石 贅沢な物語が
叶わず揺れて
秘密も嘘も 透けるヴェールで
甘くないまま 欲しいものがある
Pearl in the shell
耀く瞬間(とき)
閉じ込めた光の 伝わるまで
重ねたい ずっと綺麗でいる
季節を追うように君を見てた
You're my special 波間に濡れる
白く艶やかな その
想いは何を写し出す?
細い鎖が絡み 途中からほどく事を
諦めるように
傷む事も知らずに
それなのに君に一番
近付きたかった
迷っていない 怖いだけ
全て しそうな夜があるから
You ring a bell
聴かせて 瞬間(いま)
閉じかけた唇 求めるまで
「離さない...」 続ける言葉に
信じてない筈の"絶対"を告げる
You're my precious 深く 静かな
抱き締めた始まりが
秘かに明日を歌ってる

Pearl in the shell
耀く瞬間(とき)
閉じ込めた光が 伝わるなら
You ring a bell
聴かせて 瞬間(いま)
閉じかけた唇 求めるまで
「離さない...」 続ける言葉に
信じてない筈の"絶対"を告げる
You're my precious 深く 静かな
抱き締めた始まりが
秘かに明日を歌ってる

    The correct lyrics are:

    "Shells on the floor The writing’s on the wall Bullets in your store Says "I’m hunting for you all"

    Field full of dope I’m harvesting my hope Shipping out speed boats So we’re not broke

    Coca-cola floats The stock market broke Somewhere in Angola we’re still craving for a goat

    Send me a post Yeah, send me something you wrote School of the hard knocks We don’t like to boast

    Go down the road Their cars are all in snow Boys fighting laws Got their AKs on show

    Kids playing ball They growing like they know Wanna make that doe Just to have something to show

    Buy Tees and Gold Bandanas and hoes Freedom costs money and they’re feeling really bored

    Vitamins are low Amphetamines high Busting out shots Onion rings and chicken pie Shells on the floor The writing’s on the wall Bullets in your store Says "I’m hunting for you all"

    Field full of dope I’m harvesting my hope Shipping out speed boats So we’re not broke

    Why you gotta make me act like this Why you gotta make me act like this I never wanted none of this shit Why you gotta make me act like this I never asked for none of this shit Why you gotta make me act like this

    Talking about, talking about war war war I rather talk about moi Talking about, talking about war war war I rather talk about moi Talking about, talking about war war war I rather talk about moi Talking about, talking about war war war I rather talk about moi Talking about, talking about war war war I rather talk about moi "

Standing On The Edge Of Summer
Thursday
In regards to the meaning of this song: Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.” That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
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.

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."

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
