Kyoto Song Lyrics
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
Wakes me up at quarter to three
I'm lying on the floor of the night before
With a stranger lying next to me
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
I see no further now than this dream
The trembling hands of the trembling man
Hold my mouth
To hold in a scream
I try to think
To make it slow
If only here is where I go
If this is real
I have to see
I turn on fire
And next to me
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It's so smooth it even feels like skin
It tells me how it feels to be new
It tells me how it feels to be new
A thousand voices whisper it true
It tells me how it feels to be new
And every voice belongs
Every voice belongs to you
Of death in the pool
Wakes me up at quarter to three
I'm lying on the floor of the night before
With a stranger lying next to me
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
I see no further now than this dream
The trembling hands of the trembling man
Hold my mouth
To hold in a scream
To make it slow
If only here is where I go
If this is real
I have to see
I turn on fire
And next to me
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It's so smooth it even feels like skin
It tells me how it feels to be new
A thousand voices whisper it true
It tells me how it feels to be new
And every voice belongs
Every voice belongs to you

The music on this song is an old japanese lullaby. I can't recall the title, but it's something about a demon coming for the kid.
love this song.
@charlieSometimes You must be right. I found this, that maybe can give the right explanation: What is the story of Baku Yokai? Baku (mythology) - Wikipedia Legend has it that a person who wakes up from a bad dream can call out to baku. A child having a nightmare in Japan will wake up and repeat three times, "Baku-san, come eat my dream." Legends say that the baku will come into the child's room and devour the bad dream, allowing the child to go back to sleep peacefully.

I read somewhere Robert saying this song is about both a dream Mary had where she drowned in a pool, and a dream he had about eating someone....
i loove this song
Maybe I'm weird, but I find this song incredibly sexy, lyrics and all.
Kyoto is a city in Japan...
i love this song - I think the it may actually be a prostitute - I know - not the tastes good - but maybe that is just it feels good, and is outa this world? But the girl is like someone he knows " every voice belongs to you" He is trying to get em out of his head but it isn't working : )
"""It taste like nothing on this earth.
Tells me how it feels to be new. . . . .and every voice belongs to you."""""
Couldn't every cURE song be a dream? who cares. they are all portraits.
Clearly this is a reference to a Japanese restaurant. :)

thx for your post, Wowrobertsmith. =) that's a cool tidbit.
whoa.... this song has probably the best lyrics ive ever seen
This song is about hedonism and even self-destructiveness and avoiding dealing with your fears. It's written in a surreal way, but he's basically grasping at things that give him pleasant sensations, and trying to block out unpleasant things. The first verse shows that these unpleasant thoughts creep in through his dreams, and they scare him and leave him trembling. Ultimately, he cannot get past these fears, as he is avoiding them when awake by focusing on physical pleasures. So it ends up being that his real life is like a dream, but his dreams show the reality of his life.
According to Smith:
"Half of it comes from a dream Mary had - death in a swimming pool - and half from one of mine about eating someone."
