Our Journey

to Yuudachi no Ribbon - Ito Kashitaro

I used to be such a shy and distant boy,
Unable to meet my own gaze in the mirror
I could barely stand it when people spoke to me;
Never able to respond

And when you finally saw my eyes, you were shocked
Saying they were nothing like you've ever seen
You complimented me, saying I should show them off to the world

And yet, we must now part ways,
As I go on a journey
Exploring the world and my heart;
To find mysteries and my name

I grew up shunned and pushed away
People only saw me for my pale skin
They cowered away, not trying to understand
Leaving me out in the wilderness

But there was one person...

And yet, we must now part ways
As i go on a journey
Exploring the world and my heart;
To find mysteries and my name

And there he stood;
A young man
Uniting us

I always wanted to see the world
An adventurer down to my blood

And I seized my chance,
Meeting those like me

And yet, we must now part ways,
As I go on a journey
Exploring the world and my heart;
To find mysteries and my name
And learn who I really am

And yet we must now part ways
As we go on a journey
Exploring the world and our hearts;
To find mysteries and our names.

A Young Man's Journey!

Unite Our Worlds

to Asymmetry - Reol

Why can't I go to my home?
Why didn't I die like the others?

The world falling in on itself
Vanishing into the dark abyss

Strength has pulled us this far, but
It tore apart the earth

When two fought for one
Crossing their arms

The two songs synchronized into one
And met in one place
The frequency, finely tuned, became overwhelming
Bursting forward
To break our fate
Unite our worlds

Why can't I go to home?
Having vanished into the abyss

I might never see the fields again
But I will still fight as hard as I can

Why didn't I die like the others?
I saw everything fall into the dark

Even though my faith is falling apart
I will summon forth my will.

The two songs synchronized into one
And met in one place
The frequency, finely tuned, became overwhelming
Bursting forward
To break our fate

We will do whatever it takes;
Conquer death, break our frequency
And unite our shattered worlds

Our heart beats can be heard
As death closes in on us

But still, we won't....

The two songs synchronized into one
And met in one place
The frequency, finely tuned, became overwhelming
Bursting forward
To break our fate
Unite our worlds;
Back together

Final Message

I don't know how else to say this;
I cannot stay here for much longer

Remember how we would see our home
From a cliff that overlooked our entire world,
Trying to imagine what ever lay beyond
And dreaming of adventure

But as it turns out, I must be going
And meet with the clouds so far up there

Hovering over you, I see you
It's hard not to grin as you live on
So beautiful; when you could smile again
When you fell in love, I wanted to tell you
That I missed you

When you would turn your face to me
I know that you wanted to say you loved me
I wish I told you as it was; that I felt the same,
That I loved you

So here I am, telling my thoughts
As I finally pass away

But as it turns out, I can't stay long
I must go back up into the sky

Hovering over you, I see you
With a heart that will still grow stronger
So beautiful; how you can still smile so brightly
As I am standing here for one last time, before I go,
No matter what, I love you

Hovering over you, I see you
Crying over my resting place
A small smile appearing on you
So beautiful; for me, please find someone's love
Remember to smile

Hovering over you, I see you
Living out your hopeful life
So amazing, I can hardly believe it
Just do not forget that I want you to..
Fall in love again

Dragon Ball Z Fan Song - "Make A Wish"

Kamehameha away your fears
Fight to the very end,
Call the dragon down to Earth
Make A Wish

Counting away the years on a single hand
Waiting for our next chance to clash

Anticipation rising, I can barely stand it
But first I must get stronger

Can you feel the need to gather ki
To blast away your enemies and save humanity?

With all your strength, throw a punch
With quick thinking, dodge their kick

And transcend
Into your next strongest form

Kamehameha away your fears
Fight to the very end,
Call the dragon down To Earth,
Make A Wish

Change and save the world

Simplicity

Written to Yoru ga Akeru yo by Supercell

Simplicity
At its finest
Unknowing
Of this vague feeling

In my heart
It was barely seen
In my head
It was still brand new to me

I did not know
How it might blossom
I could not see
How real it might be
At least not
My love for you

When you smile at me
And say, "I love you"
It makes my day

"Will you spend your life with me?"
You said
On that fateful night
Years ago

The look on your face
Our child in your arms
I'll never forget
The love I felt
Watching you make silly faces to him

Through the years we saw him grow
The years flew by too quickly
(Through the years)
Through the years we loved him
(We saw him)
(Grow taller)

Through the years we saw him mature
(And fall in love)
(And learn to smile)
Through the years we saw him grow
(And graduate)
(And cry)

Through the years we saw him grow
(And we were happy)
(And we were happy)

Together Forever
Together Forever
Together Forever
Together...

Mostly Literal Opening 3: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Please let the curtains open so that I may tell you a story
Of two boys shoved off into the world

In an open field, the fierce winds blew through my hair
As I reach out to someone I hardly knew

With so many people surrounding me,
I never thought I'd lose so many things in my life
When everything begun to sped up
I never dreamed that I would end up being here

Everything before me that I loved vanished
Even then I didn't know what was ahead
My stroll through life became nothing short of a clumsy stumble

Even before I could fall, someone helped me
To see the countless and varying truths of life
And to see beyond the illusions of this crushed reality

Can't you see that I've gone so far away form my sweet home's embrace?
With nowhere else to go, the rain vanishes
A new day begins its hike

Those far away are still awaiting my return (from fighting sin)
So please send them my message saying thanks

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

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

Lyrics? VI - A New Chapter

How long has it been since times have changed?
How many years has it been since I first saw you?

Questions beckoning to my past
I wonder why they only just now arose

A dark past I have hidden
(A blindfold over my eyes)
A time long ago in my past
(A picture on my desk)

Memories that are here
(Love is plaguing my heart)

There is no way
That I would let my past slip away from my fingers forever
And here I am, flipping through the pages of a diary

Everything has lost all of its meanings
I try to recall the meaning of love to my heart

What I could never remember
Came back to me and shocked me

I recalled all the feelings I had
(A light in the darkness)
And my heart was resurrected
(I felt love the first time in a long time)

What if I have never forgotten?
(The answer is right in front of me)

I can't give in
To all the sweet things you keep on telling me
I can't stop myself from giving into your persistence

Your smile brightens my life
I can never thank you enough, so I yell

Despite who I was, you opened your arms to me
You held me tight and said you loved me

A new chapter started, showing I have changed
Let us see where this chapter will end, and begin anew

Lyrics? V - Join Me

Join me. Join me.

Across every region we walk slowly
Searching for the reason to keep going

Side by side we are friends and enemies
Telling stories around a fire we had built

Together we look forward into the bright future
Expecting many things to come

Not understanding everything
We run off into the horizon

Join me. Join me.

We have a long way to go
But we will always move forward
Just never give up
Is all I ask

Join me. Join me.

Let us learn from your story
And move on
So that we may grow from it

Join me.
Join me. Join me.

Lyrics? IV - Love Song

The end of the day
Marks not the end
But the beginning of another new memory

Going on forever and evermore
The day will never go on ending without starting

Many eccentric ways to go
Which is that you choose?
You don't have to answer right away, not right now

If you're wrong, it doesn't really matter
All that matters is if you do or don't listen to me

Spinning around all that I have ever known today
Where would you land if you had stopped?

I could think of many ways to say it, but it just won't come to me
Looks like all I have to do is wait

I wonder if you would say yes
If only... if I could ask it

What am I saying?
I already know the answer
I think... I know I love you

"Oh, it's nothing."

I could never muster the courage I needed
Will it come to me some day?
For now, I can only observe you from a distance
But don't mind me, I am happy

From here, i smile at you
So beautiful

You laugh and talk with your friends, and all I can do is watch you

If only... if I had enough courage to ask you

Lyrics? III - Hero

Somewhere deep in your world
The surface is covered in ruins
Nobody said that it was apparent

Whatever makes you do this
Is a mystery to even me
You repeatingly ask the same question
Again and again

A hero
Is there one
That truly reside deep in my heart?

The darkness
Is not too far
So where are you looking right now?

You don't
Have to worry about it

So just keep
Looking up

Crimson flames cover the earth
Wherever it is that you look
Death is right behind you, at your heels

You don't know when you're supposed to give up
But it doesn't really matter
Everyone is looking up at you right now

The darkness
Is in your mind
Never having left in the first place

The darkness
Is not too far
So where are you looking right now?

You don't
Have to worry about it

So just keep
Looking up

There is A
Hero in your heart
All you have to do is believe in it

The darkness
Is already running
From that light that you created

Everyone's looking up
Right at you
Don't loose hope

You're my hero
Believe in the power you hold
You cannot give up no matter what happens

But don't worry
You are a hero
In everyone's eyes

Lyrics? II - Wishing

I will vanish into the deep shallows
vanishing into the depths of darkness
Though I may not show it, loneliness burns me
I don't know if I can continue living for much longer

All I want to be is understood once
Yes, I know I'm completely useless

I will vanish into the next world
Vanishing into the next life, I don't care
I try to cry out as loud as I can
but it seems nobody can hear my voice

Why should I live?
It'll be better if I was dead anyway

("I can't seem to remember smiling
But it's never really bothered me much
so than why is it now...
Why is their a piercing pain?")

I thought I would vanish into the deep waters
But that was brightened my world
I learned what it was to be happy for the first time
It felt like i was like to be loved

I became stronger just for you
It was the reason I still live

I will vanish...
Nothing can stop the inevitable
Even though you were a light in my new eyes
There was still things that I could never tell you

I can't keep it from you anymore
My life is slowly fading from my grasp

("I'm sorry I couldn't tell you,
but I've been dying for a long time
not just emotionally, but physically")

As I lay in my death bed smiling for one last time
I wish for you to live happily forevermore...

Lyrics? - Not Understanding

Sometimes I can stare into your soul
Sometimes I choose not to
You move like a snail
Why can't you move a bit faster?

I'm in your head
I'm in your heart
Tears fall from your eyes
I am you at times
Yeah, I'll destroy your insides

I know you so much
Yet you don't know me at all
I almost feel incredible pain
But I continue to ignore it

Sometimes I wished I was normal
I want to be seen as everyone else
I thought I had the will to leave your shadow
But whenever I try, I can't seem to
Why can't I leave you already?

I reach inside and grab your heart
And try to crush it
Something seems to stop me for somehow
I think this might be mercy

It's as though your tears are mine
What's going on with me?
I have never experienced this
So why is it now of all times
Why can't I leave my emotions?

Sometimes I can stare into your soul
Sometimes I choose to ingore you
You're too slow for me
Why can't you move at my pace?

I'm in your head
I'm in your heart
So am I anywhere else?
I feel like you at times
Yeah, can still tear you up inside?

Your emotions are so powerful
It's as though I've been shocked
There seems to be something stopping me
Why is it that only you get to me?
Why can't I seem to leave you alone?

As I've said I've never experienced this
If I didn't know better, I'd think I had became human
Honestly though, why do you have me in you heart?
You know I'll eventually stab you in the back, right?
You say that you don't believe I will do it, is that true?
Ugh, I can't believe I'm letting you get to me!

You're emotions are so powerful
It's as though I've been shocked
I'm beginning to understand your feelings towards me
But I still can't seem to understand why I can't leave you

Smiling Dreamer

My dream floats high into the skies
They brighten up the dark clouds over our hearts

The rain that trickles into the darkness
Quenches our thirst for so many things

Brighten up your life
And let me grab hold of your hand
And travel alongside me

Look up at me with your bright smile
And don't look down in the trenches
Always look up into the bright skies
Let your dreams loose into the horizon

It's okay to dream bigger
Than the world that you know, just smile
I'm sure we can have fun traveling

Don't be down, don't worry about it at all
Whatever happens, I'll do my best to help you in anyway

If no one else can smile at the very moment
I'll brighten their world
And bring them their smiles

Raise your head up,
And show me what you've been hiding
I promise I won't judge you in my life

Though I may appear naive
I assure I understand you
Show me who you are,
And I will show you who I am

Take off your fake smile,
And if you wish to, cry out loud
You don't have to hide yourself from me

I struggle with smiling all the time
Darkness is always around me
People laugh at me nonstop and it hurts more than I can say

I am sure
That I will never,
Ever, ever give up on dreaming

Let your frustrations out on me
It's alright, I won't hate you for it
I won't go anywhere,
I'll always be here right beside you to give you comfort

Just don't give on your dreams
Show people that you refuse to give into their laughter
And always smile for the world

Somewhere Far Off

Somewhere far off in another world
That your dreams become nothing short of truth
You can always reach it when life is bright
All you got to do is believe in it

Somewhere far off on this world you live on
Dreams become reality, and live

Nothing short of what you wanted deep inside
You will always remember it

Not too far off from this place you can find happiness
When will it end? That is never

A golden time that was here
You can never forget all the things that happened

All together we will walk there as friends
And into a brand new life
Until then, there will always be a light
Though there may be problems, always walk on it

The darkness may prevail sometimes
But you must hold on your dreams

Somewhere far off in another world
Tears will never fall from your eyes again

You may have nothing short of a simple dream
But whatever it is, we'll help you

Smiles surround you as you go there
Nothing can stop you now, as you're smiling in return

Wishing your dream would never end
All you have to do is dream of emeralds

We have never parted ways from you
Yet tears stream down your face, without stopping
Catching every single drop in our hands
You mean far more than you even know

Fall asleep and dream of whatever it is you dream of
We will do our best to help

You only have one final wish
Just leave it up to us

Time is plated in beautiful platinum
I'm sure your dreams will come true

Knowing our time was so much to you
We say goodbye for that one, final time
For the first time we have a reason to weep
All of us wish to hold you tightly
So many memories we made together
The time we spent together was special

I was so happy to see you the final time
I close my eyes and pass away

The Undead Rebellion

The Undead Rebellion rages beneath your feet
Do not worry, it does not concern you
Continue walking, ignoring the rumbling
And go on without knowing a single thing

Even the dead have dreams
That fall into the black abyss
Do they have a chance to live them?
Or are they broken, is it true?

Always hiding behind a mask
Your addiction only grows for it
You try to take it off and you can't

The Undead Rebellion is between life and death
Is it true that death never loses?
When a chance to fight for life arises
You can be sure that a battle stirs beneath us
When you close your eyes, 
You just might be able to hear them

Future visions are shattered
Like a fragile mirror
People try to glue it back together

The Undead Rebellion has no end in sight
If there was an end to afterlife's struggle
Would you, who is hiding behind a mask
Help us and put an end to all of this?
Or will you stay ignorant, and watch
As your world shatters?

Unaccomplished

Stepping through the threshold
Into a world that isn't familiar
Even though I'm not that far
I feel like I am leagues away

I look back and count my steps
I look forward and take a step up
Into the world I just found
Where will it lead me to?

From a small town nobodies heard of
I rose from the depths of a silent country
And came into the loud cities of civilazation

In an unfamiliar territory
I quickly, quickly rose to my feet
And looked around me
Suddenly becoming recognized around the world
I'm waiting
My heart went ba-bump ba-bump

As time went by my fame only grew more
I was known all around the world
But something still bothered me

Who was going to follow me?
How could anyone better me?
Everything has lost its fun,
Its challenging appeal

Fast and faster and faster
Everything was so easy
I no longer felt that I accomplished anything

I am deteriorating
Please rescue, rescue me now
I don't want to be bored
Waiting for a powerful trainer to come across me

I want to battle
A battle that will show me that light again
So that I may enjoy a life of battling once more

"Who are you?"
"I'm Bob! I will one day become the champion!"
"Oh? That's hard to believe. I guess I'll let you battle me."
"Don't look down on me! I will prove to the world that I'm
a champion! Come on! Let's battle!"

Battling you has opened my eyes
To that oh so bright light
I am, I am so happy that I met you
For the first time in a long time,
A smile cracks on my face

Exchanging moves with you back and forth
Is the most, the most fun I've ever had
I can see you will one day better me
I hope that it goes well for you
I hope that you'll still be able to smile
I know you'll go on as a champion

Searching For You

The seasons passed by slowly
And the memories never left their place
And I waited

It's always on my mind
Where would I be if I could follow you?
The leaves fall to the ground
As Autumn's wind blows
Into the next day

Standing there still, I will be there for you
I wait patiently for you
I close my eyes
And dream of you
When we still could laugh and smile unaware of everything

Through the fields and the mountains
We would run side-by-side
Always smiling, having fun with each other

Living each day like it's the last
I never wanted it to end
I wanted you to always be there
No matter, they came to an end

Turning the pages of my diary
"Goodbye" was written on that day
I was looking forward,
Hoping I'd see you return
With a large grin

Time went by as I looked for you
But I couldn't find you
I looked for you anyway
Until I fell asleep
Until I couldn't walk
I tried to find you, never giving up on the search

All across the country I wandered
Wishing to see you once again
I thought I saw you,
But it wasn't you

Looking into every building,
Asking everyone all around the world
I looked for you, I didn't give up
I refuse to stop searching for you

When I finally found you, I was so happy
I could barely keep it in
Tears fell down my cheek

I embraced you tightly, and told you how much I missed you
Yet I couldn't say it
I could barely tell you it

My heart beating quickly, I was so scared to say it
Yet I had to tell you

I miss you so much, I can't express it very well
But I know that I must tell you
I've never been so happy to see you again

I want to come with you the rest of the way
But I have something else to tell you
What I want to say is

I want to say..
I always... always
For a very long time
I've always loved you

Ah, Come on, let's go on our way

Skull's Life

When I was young, my father gave me a mask
I hid it deep beneath the ground

Now I have become all too familiar with it
I fear I've grown addicted, but it's necessary

No longer able to see my face, I have lost my name
If someone asked for it, I'd tell them I can't answer

In death and life, I see my friends pass away
If I could still cry, tears would fall

When I was still alive and happy, smiling all the time,
I had a beautiful wife and children

Attempting to stone me to death, they cried in fear
Regretting what I would've said, I wished I said it
But all I can do is look back and remember the pain I felt
Heart broken, I can only mourn deep inside

In the end, I teamed up with my only enemy to fight evil
Some day, I knew he would bring eternal rest to me
All those I've grown to love surround me right right now
He whispers his name in my ear

I had a vision of the thousands years I had lived
For the first time in a long time, I shed tears

I may have some regrets left, but it's alright
At least I'm dying with many memories

Those I loved when I was alive congratulate me
And I close my eyes and slipped off for the last time
