Paradox – U-ya Asaoka

from Kimi ga sekai wo kaete yuku album.

——

Tirelessly being told is someone else’s success story
Isn’t it better to be waiting for a godsend? Do as you like

Imitations are bound to fail, today is tiring too, huh?
Can’t see my dreams, this era is far, far from true perfection

This isn’t it, I wanna do something
Puzzled, I pretend and deceive my almost-resigned self

Not fighting, not losing, yet not giving it my all
Not desiring, not smiling, pleading for non-existent things Tonight
Just who am I?

Even this country is full of lies, no one knows the truth
Dignity without preparation, just what meaning does that hold?

Somehow, we’re already approaching the end
Intoxicated, I pretend, swinging between joy and sorrow, forcing reason

With no wings, I can’t fly, can’t save anyone
Not cool, there’s no God, therefore, I create My Life
Because I like you?

This isn’t it, I wanna do something
Puzzled, I pretend and deceive my almost-resigned self

Not fighting, not losing, yet not giving it my all
Not desiring, not smiling, pleading for non-existent things Tonight
Just who am I? It’s Paradox, live on

Show must go on – U-ya Asaoka

from Show must go on album.

——

Welcome! You’re here. Thank you for Coming!
Let me blend your heart together with mine tonight!

Are you living a life with no fear of failure?
Do you want to be affirmed, for a little sense of relief?

The world is full of lies, I’ve come to hate it
Contrasting ideas just run parallel

Let’s forget that, and love each other right now
With a touch of preaching, this is just a song www

From the start, we already know
We can’t let dreams be dreams
I can’t do it without you, you know?

So, we need to do what we wanna do
Because time won’t stop
Let’s just burst out
Meanwhile, the Show must go on!

A well-designed replica may put on airs, but
Who are they acting for? They can’t fool me

The best valuation is my innocent self
Let’s shout out about the present!!!

I want to smile with you until the end
Because I want to deliver my love
A steady advance, let’s live

So let the ground ring and shout
I’ll smash your shell
If you wait, it’ll be over, you know?
Certainly, the Show must go on!

From the start, we already know
We can’t let dreams be dreams
I can’t do it without you, you know?

So, let’s do what we wanna do
Because time won’t turn back
Let’s just be foolish
Meanwhile, the Show must go on!
