WHY I LOVE SCHOOL FOOD PUNISHMENT REASON # 273
This is percentage from their first album amp-reflection. Unlike most musicians and artists out there in America, Japan, and Korea and pretty much everywhere else, the person who wrote the song, in this case lead singer Yumi Uchimura actually cares about the lyrics she’s writing. In an interview she said that she cried while writing these lyrics because they mean so much to her. I’d like you to see if you can find any bands out there that are this emotional in their lyrics and presentation.
Do yourself a favor and take a listen, and if your japanese is sub-par like mine go ahead and read the translation by xzx:
If time is limited, the truth is that
I want to hold you so much; I want to tell you everything.
If I keep it a secret, it’ll rotate in an infinite loop.
Even if I’ve dreamed to the point of giddiness, it’s just an illusion that ends inside me alone, after all.
(You won’t die from loneliness)
With my heart dancing for the eternity of the exchange,
I’m going around in circles. When I think of you, I feel scared, want to do it, want to break it down, get scared, feel pain.
(That’s reality)
Inside the future you’re looking at, if you look so closely,
You’ll just realize it so well you’ll want to break it down -
That you can’t hold a monopoly.
If time is limited, the truth is that
I want to hold you so much; I want to touch every bit of you.
Just looking from outside the frame, the truth is that
I can’t stand it; I hate that so much, but it can’t be helped.
Watch over you without crossing a single line?
(If you block it off, the pain will soften up)
Say the keyword and put it to an end?
(You can’t go back anymore)
If the concept of time disappears, I’d like to continue gazing at you.
That alone would be fine; I need no luxury.
I’m so unafraid that I can see even when the moon is behind the clouds.
It’s okay if it wanes, because it will wax again.
If I may spit out all of my heart, the truth is that
I want to hold you so much; I want to touch every bit of you.
The percentage within you that I occupy is probably going down, I suppose.
Even if it disappears someday, if you’re smiling, that’s enough for me.
School Food Punishment = <3
Also that number is totally made up and i’m pretty sure I have more than 273 reasons. ;)
