Mostly Literal Opening 2: Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo

It was in the middle of spring
When I ran towards your calling voice
I saw you sitting up in a tree
That was when we first met face to face

It was then that I realized
We were still worlds apart
But we would some day be closer

With my hopeful feelings,
I reached towards you
Hoping you would notice
All of the struggles I have when I..
Do everything for you

Such a brilliant mind,
I cannot help but admire
Everything that i see in your heart
But still..

Every word of love,
Seems to fly over your head
As I do everything to show you it

I know you will one day notice my love

Mostly Literal Opening 1: Overlord

I am reaching out
To the colors
On my screen

It's like I feel my greed shining off me
Making a skeletal shadow behind me
Lust's taking over my blackened heart
I am beginning to forget who I am

I think I'm about to give into the voice
That just will not stay quiet enough
Can you not see it? I will not leave
Instead, I will dance on this dark stage

Kingdoms will fall, kneeling at my feet
The people will call me their Overlord
As they look up to me
When I look to the sky and laugh

I am reaching out
To the colors
On my screen
Trying to remember who I used to be

Conviction
Do you have it?
With you, I can
Stand at the very top

Join me at my side,
And lets set down my flag
Showing that I am their ruler now

Old Lyrics;
I am reaching out
To the colors
On my screen

It's like I feel my greed shining off me;
Making a skeletal shadow behind me
Lust's taking over my blackened heart
I am beginning to forget who I am

I think I'm about to give into the voices
That just will not stay quiet enough
Can you not see it? I will not leave
Instead, I will dance on this dark stage

Everyone I have and will meet, bow before me
And look up to your new overlord
That mercilessly towers over all of you
As I look to the skies and laugh

I am reaching out
To the colors
On my screen
Through my eyes,
Feel my dark wrath as I cut you down

Can you see
What I have
Wrought upon this vast and beautiful world
That now lays submissive beneath me

Now that your overlord is finally here
Worship every single step that he makes;
Shaking the world beneath his feet

Core Pride (Jap)

Born into this world, each enjoying their own life
Discovering a black box in their head... is this bliss?

The important thing is to surpass your limit line
Shall we go?
Take a step and outdo yourself today!

But what should we do with every day?
Trying to be flawless is a big no no

Stop! Notice the flow of our earth
Ignore everything else, and here we go!

If I try to suppress my heart, which is burning hot,
About things that are unobtainable or constrained

How am I different from those adults
Who I have come to despise
And will never forgive for their constant attempt
To blindly pin me down without even understanding?

It'll probably forever remain a pipe dream
That will never come true,
But the burning in my heart cannot be doused by anyone

Even if the black rain falling from the sky
Drenches me completely and never stops
I won't allow the fire in my heart to be extinguished
This is what's called my pride!

It started pouring, as predicted
A lot more buddies gathered around me than I had expected
While talking about one another's days and futures,
We became impassioned and started a fist fight

Back when we were only fifteen,
As a mean to quall our anxiety,
You laughed and said "You haven't changed a bit"
So I ended up bursting into laughter

If we don't stubbornly stand our grand like this,
Even the flow of time will become terrifying

My only real opponent whom I should hit
Is my own prideful self
But still, I don't want to lose to myself right now,
My pride is too strong to lose

Stop! Notice the flow of our earth
Ignore everything else, and here we go!

Stop! Notice the flow of our earth
Ignore everything else, and here we go!

No matter how hard I try when I'm alone at night,
I cannot understand even myself

When you're with me, and we try to understand each other
Only then will I become stronger

I don't care how things turn out,
And I don't care if I'll look uncool,
I will desperately try to change my future

Even if I'm told that my destiny is immutable
No matter what, I myself can still change
And I will prove to you that I can do it

That's right, this is pride in its rightful place

Don't perish yet, the fire in my heart,
I don't want to forget the heat in my chest yet

Don't perish yet, the fire in my heart,
I can still keep going, so here I go

Oh baby, my pride!

Monochrome Hopes

Originally written to: Missing Link by NOVELS

Smile struggling to appear on me
I don't understand why it's so important

It's not that I am hurt, but there's no reason to grin
So why do you keep on beaming at me?

I just want to go on my merry way
And not stare at those silly faces you are making

Why would you want me to smile so badly?
I really didn't know until you said...

"Monochrome hopes are blank
There's no need to pretend you have any.
So you must reach out,
And grab ahold of your dreams."

A smile played on my face, I called you a friend
No matter what happened, I would never hurt you

Even through the rough, you would wear a grin
Strength never faltering, at least not visibly

My heart broken, you gave me a smile
That told me everything would be okay

Yet you lay there, your death closing in
Eyes shutting, you took the last line

"Monochrome hopes are blank
There's no need to pretend you have any.
So you must reach out,
And grab ahold of your dreams."

A strange beaming face
Hopefully affectionate
Hopelessly naive
But...

To everyone before me, I repeated your words

"Monochrome hopes are blank
There's no need to pretend you have any.
So you must reach out,
And grab ahold of your dreams."

Embrace who you are
Don't let your ambition fall away
It will not be easy to stay strong
But hold on to your hope
