Be a Body (侘寂) Lyrics

All the keys in my mind,
oh my, what a sight
Because I want to go home

All the keys in my mind,
oh my, what a sight
Because I want to go home

Be a body

Hoo Hoo Hye Hye Hoo Hoo Hyohyee
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hyhyoheheehee
Hoo Hoo Hye Hye Hoo Hoo Hyohyee
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hyhyoheheehee

I close my eyes until I see
I don't need hands to touch me

Be a body

I lean on walls until I stand
I touch my face with my hand

Be a body

Hoo Hoo Hye Hye Hoo Hoo Hyohyee
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hyhyoheheehee
Hoo Hoo Hye Hye Hoo Hoo Hyohyee
Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hoo Hyhyoheheehee

I close my eyes until I see
I don't need hands to touch me

Be a body

I lean on walls until I stand
I touch my face with my hand

Hoo Ho Ha Hu Hoo Ho Ha Hu Hoo Ho Ha Hu (to the rhythm I do ??)

(And then) Be a body

So then what am I ?

((Editors Note: Now there is a mix of the two different "Ho Hu Ha" Vocalparts))

Be a body

So then what am I ?

Be a body

Hoo Hoo Hye Hye Hoo Hoo Hyohyee

So then what am I ?

Be a body

Hoo Ho Ha Hu Hoo Ho Ha Hu Hoo Ho Ha Hu (to the rhythm I do ??)

((Editors Note: The Chorus is mixed with other parts of the song))
All the keys in my mind,
oh my, what a sight
Because I want to go home

((Editors Note: This repetition of the chorus goes without mixing it up with other elements of the song)
All the keys in my mind,
oh my, what a sight
Because I want to go home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I've always thought this song was about one night stands - the kind you have when you're heartbroken by someone else. You don't want love, you just want to forget, you just want a body. Be a body. That's all. :..(

It's about proprioception!(?)
