This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
利腕に現実をとり
もう片腕に道徳をかざし
胸の奥に愛を灯して
頭の中で天秤にかける
鬱蒼としげる闇の中
自分の影を隠すように
汚ねぇ算盤弾く音
鳴り響く世界よ止まれ
感情は邪魔になるだけの世界さ
撃ち殺してくれよ
天秤にかけたのは誰?
算盤で弾くのは誰?
ハーメルンの笛吹きは誰? 狼少年はいったい誰?
そんなのどうでもいいほど今
君を愛しているよ
花よ今咲き誇れ 僕に教えておくれ
今ここに生きる意味を 明日がくる理由を
利腕に欲望をもち
もう片腕に背徳を隠し
胸の奥に愛を閉ざせば
頭の中で聖者が笑う
空き地に咲く健気な花
降り注ぐ光を奪うビルがそびえ建ち
人々はそのビルに目を輝かせ
やがて花は呼吸を止めた
風が只 優しく撫でた
風だけが優しく撫でた
生きる事 其れは何も見えねぇ
闇の中をさ迷う様な
死ぬ事 其れもまた
闇で終りは決して始まりではない
だからこそ今闇を照らす
閃光になるよう生命燃やせ
輝きを放つんだ 生きてる証
儚く強く
花よ今咲き誇れ 君が教えてくれた
今ここに生きる意味を 明日がくるわけを
いつの日か死にゆく僕は
君に何ができるだろう
陽は昇り光を注ぐ永久に
この世界に
もう片腕に道徳をかざし
胸の奥に愛を灯して
頭の中で天秤にかける
鬱蒼としげる闇の中
自分の影を隠すように
汚ねぇ算盤弾く音
鳴り響く世界よ止まれ
感情は邪魔になるだけの世界さ
撃ち殺してくれよ
天秤にかけたのは誰?
算盤で弾くのは誰?
ハーメルンの笛吹きは誰? 狼少年はいったい誰?
そんなのどうでもいいほど今
君を愛しているよ
花よ今咲き誇れ 僕に教えておくれ
今ここに生きる意味を 明日がくる理由を
利腕に欲望をもち
もう片腕に背徳を隠し
胸の奥に愛を閉ざせば
頭の中で聖者が笑う
空き地に咲く健気な花
降り注ぐ光を奪うビルがそびえ建ち
人々はそのビルに目を輝かせ
やがて花は呼吸を止めた
風が只 優しく撫でた
風だけが優しく撫でた
生きる事 其れは何も見えねぇ
闇の中をさ迷う様な
死ぬ事 其れもまた
闇で終りは決して始まりではない
だからこそ今闇を照らす

陽は昇り光を注ぐ永久に
この世界に

No Surprises
Radiohead
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
Magical
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Punchline
Ed Sheeran
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.
OMG I love this song! ^-^ how come no one has commented this yet??
Mhmm. If only I knew what it all meant.
Well the last word in all the questions is 'dare'. That really says a lot. =] ... -.-
Grr.
:O The word 'dare' has been there the whole time!! So the translator didn't translate anything?! ...grrr. -.- =[[
Ugh. "Dare" is pronounced "da-re"... it's not the english word dare. Dare, in Japanese, means "who".
And aside from general ignorance... this is an amazing, gorgeous song. One of my favorites.
LOVE this song! :D It's made of awesome. Been listening to it in the car a ton lately, never get tired of it. It's just so good, love the way "you na" is sung in the second to last verse.
With your dominant arm, you grab the reality With your other arm, you up-hold the morality You light up the love deep in your heart You weigh things up with the scales inside your head Inside the dense and thick darkness, you hide your own shadow The sound of the dirty abacus, echoes in the world - please stop!
In this world where feelings are only a hinderance, shoot and kill me! Who is using the scale? Who is using the abacus? Who is playing the Humelin flute? Who is the boy that cried wolf? Rather than caring about these things right now, i love you!
Flower, now in full bloom, already late in telling me The meaning of living right here, right now the meaning of tomorrows coming
With your dominant arm, you have desire With yyour other arm you hide immorality If you could shut love deep away in your heart the saint in your head will laugh The brave flower that growns in the vacant lot, surrounded by the tower buildings that take away the sunlights rays people eyes are glared by these buildings soon, the flower stopped breathing the wind was only gentley caressing only wind was gentley caressing
The thing about living, that is like wondeirng in the darkness, not able to see a thing, the thing about dying, that, is also darkness, "the end" is no way "the beggining" Thats why we need to light up the darkness now burn up our life in a flash after realising our radiance the proof of life is hard to reach but strong
Flower, now in full bloom, you had told me the meaning of living right here, right now, the meaning of tomorrows coming I am going to die someday what can I do for you? rays of light shine eternally from the rising sun onto this world.
There you go :3
