Can I Be Born Again?
(Lyrics by Toko Shiiki, Music by Toko Shiiki/Erik Santos)
"Can I Be Born Again?"
There is a door, but I can't find the key.
Excessively impatient, meaninglessly wandering around -
Really is there a door? I found a key...
What do I need? (Why don't you open the door to reborn?)
Can I be born again, again, again...?
Can I be born again, again, again...?
Can I be born again, again, again...?
I want to jump into the new world, but I can't find my shoes.
Uselessly irritated, unreasonably confusing,
I don't need the shoes to jump. Rather, I need courage.
(why don't you open the door to reborn?)
Can I be born again, again, again...?
How can I be born again, again, again...?
Can I be born again, again, again...?
I can be born again, again, again...?
Wa Wa Wa
(Lyrics by Toko Shiiki, Music by Toko Shiiki/Erik Santos)
This song is about freedom from a stupid relationship problem. (I made this song for my friend.)
A lady decides to move forward in life and shake off her unfaithful boyfriend who is constantly, and clumsily, trying to hide his love affair from her.
She's had enough. Hey girls, be free!! ("Wa Wa Wa" is a mimetic word for
irritated screaming.)
"Wa Wa Wa"
Where are you going in such hurry? (wa wa wa...)
I know that you have the day off.
If you can't completely hide your lie, don't even try.
I know what you're doing.
Where are you going in such hurry? (wa wa wa...)
You look so stupid when you are acting like this.
OK, if you want to do this, I also decided,
Don't come back.
You're just wasting your time making excuses. (wa wa wa...)
Sadistic! Yeah I want to make you crazy!
You can give me flowers, but you'll never get me.
I don't need coward, better just forget me.
I don't care any more, you know?
"They say, "If you chase a girl, she is running away.
Stop doing that, and she might start missing you."
Right?
Wa wa wa....
Golden Eye
Collaboration with Brent Lewis. Inspired by the sun and moon and everything in between.
"Golden Eye"
Can you see,
Son of the golden eye?
The open sky cradles you.
You were born
For the whole world to see,
Oh deedle-dee, isn't it true?
Fall to the sea tonight,
Rise on the other side...
All the stars
Dance in your lucid eyes,
They cannot hide from you.
Even though the clouds
Try to fill your sky,
They can't disguise the truth:
All of our dreams are right,
Walking a beam of light,
Fall to the sea tonight,
Rise on the other side...
Oh, when you leave me I'm gone.
But can you believe, lovely one?
Melt into time,
Give into harmony,
And you and me are healed.
Day and Night
Are but two parts you see?
We're destiny revealed.
All of our dreams are right,
Walking a beam of light,
Fall to the sea tonight,
Rise on the other side...
Somethin' Eternal
A cold TV spreads sad news everyday; however, it never tells what the "truth" is. What is correct and what is wrong? I want to sing my heart. I want to tell you the meaning why the sun rises everyday. Someday, I want to sing my truth for you!
Sorry, Coming Soon!!
Tears
You can tell me the reason for your tears later. For now, just cry.
"Tears"
I won't ask the reason for your tears.
You don't have to look back over the way you passed.
It's OK to do it later. Now, just cry.
This grey, foggy glass reflects your heart.
Ah, Red Moon
Ah, Black Rain
Ah, howl...
I don't need to know the reason for your tears any more.
Just cry until your tears dry up.
Fireflies, illuminating the pleasant summer night, dance in the air...
Ah, Blue Sky.
Ah, Hard Rain.
Even if you hover around the darkness, I will stay here.
I will stay here, waiting for you, to help you find your way back.
Deep Blue
A couple sings out of the frustrating disconnect between them.
"DEEP BLUE"
(Girl:)
Under such a beautiful blue sky,
he makes such a somber face.
Even if I try to speak to him,
He can't even notice because he's down too deep.
A chain ties him up -
Let's untie it together, deliberately. No?
I furtively try to snare you with my fingertips -
Let's enjoy our long night!
"After all, it's impossible..."
I try to convince myself.
But I can't let him leave my mind at all.
I can't give him up!
I intended to see him only once,
But then I got addicted to him.
Risky! But I can't drop away from him.
Mistake!! Shit!!
[chorus]
Oh... Can't stand it!
Oh... Oh... Bitter...
(Boy:)
Every day she's sitting there,
In a corner chair, Staring at the dust in the air
between the boy over here and
a girl sitting all alone in her chair
wondering "Will I come around later?"
We're stuck in an elevator between the shadows and the sun...
He's sitting here tapping his fingers,
Wondering how history lingers,
Suddenly the silence jingles...
Waiting for some door to open
To let a gentle wave of light come rushing in..
(Girl:)
Even though I'm REALLY close to you...
Even though I REALLY want to be with you...
Even though I'm strongly suffering...
I can't stand "this" anymore,
it's too weird!
But I can't stop thinking about him!
What the hell! Eek!!
Do the things you want to do!
When you have to do something you DO NOT want to do, just quickly do the thing anyway, then, GO AHEAD!
Rainbow flower is blooming
Laugh, fully!
Sing, fully and make noise!
YEAH,
Rise to the top!
Go over the happy bridge!
Although there were the days that we cried or met with a setback,
Anyway we've come here!
Anyway, run and run!
Play the guitar!
Hit the drum!
Pluck the bass!
Sing a song!
Hey, audience! Clap your hands!
Sing! Shout! Dance! Turn!
YES! Warming up!
Go to paradise!
Do the things you want to do!
When you have to do something you DO NOT want to do, just quickly do the thing anyway, then, GO AHEAD!
Rainbow flower is blooming
Laugh, fully!
Sing, fully and make noise!
YEAH,
Rise to the top!
Go over the happy bridge!
Go Go Go GO!
After the Rain
If it rains in our mind, a rainbow will appear. Go over the rainbow, and connect our dreams!
"After The Rain"
If it rains in our mind,
a rainbow will come.
If we go over the rainbow,
Our dreams are connected.
If a sandstorm blows in our mind,
a dune will rise someday.
Run on the top of the hill,
and connect our hearts.
If there's a strong rain in our mind,
a river will be born.
Just flow with the river.
Just go with the wind.
Listen for a wind and ride on it.
Go over the blue sky.
When we connect a dream bridge,
Our smiles are illuminated,
Don't be afraid,
Just believe and go!
If a darkness covers your mind,
you'll be able to see many stars.
Follow the light of stars,
Your and my door will be open
When we connect a dream bridge,
Our smile are illuminated,
Don't be afraid,
Just believe and go!
When we connect a dream bridge,
we'll meet, some day.
Don't be afraid
Just believe and go!
When we connect a dream bridge,
Our smile are illuminated,
Don't be afraid,
Just believe and go!
La la la. . . . . .
Floating Soldier
Caught in a raging river of confusing sensations; and in the midst of all of that, she lapses into reveries of floating in space. Finishes with a blazing freestyle by Satchel Jones.
"Floating Soldier"
Continuing to have meaningless dreams,
Losing my sense of forward or backward,
I'm a soldier just floating in the air.
Confused by incomprehensible rumors,
Sneered at without clear reasons,
Losing my sense of dream or reality,
I'm a soldier just wandering in the dark.
Ah . . .
Pushing meaningless crowd away,
Shrugging off incomprehensible scorn,
Losing my sense of right or left,
I'm a soldier just floating in the air
Confused by incomprehensible rumors,
Sneered at without clear reasons,
Losing my sense of dream or reality,
I'm a soldier just wandering in the dark.
Ah . . .
Forget your parents and go to Paris
Get your hair cut and beembarrassed
Have too much fun and they'll say you're careless
The good fight isn't just Saturday night
Traffic thickens like them
Slim Pickens Sprechens zie Deutsch in
hell's kitchens Mono et mono in the Turkish prisons
Or sipping high tea with the queen of queens
It's a dream in a dream Like strawberries and cream
And the noose hanging loose from the roof beam
Says the guillotine's not what it used
to be When the iron maiden's retired
her designer jeans
Come the fast and the furious/stupid lookin' curious
It's tough to be in 3-D most of the time
Walking the fine lines to break the deadlines
Human life is shortest between two points
I know it's scary yo coming through in Stereo,
Hi Ho the Dairy-o Osaka
to Ontario Checkin e-mail from the belly of the whale
Can't fail when your money's in jail
Cuddled up in the palm of Ishmaels and
King Kongs Godzilla didn't know
what he was doing was wrong
Soldiers floating mentally gentle but strong
