Lyrics & Translation
Like what kind of music you love, or who you hate
Show me your future
What you want to protect, and what you want to fight against
A 36-degree passive voice is crying beneath the mask
I don't think you need to offer anything anymore
I'll allow you to hate the world, even if just a little
So,
Please, just live, laugh, and cry
As much as possible
The grand story sleeping deep within your heart
Show it to me
All of the sorrow you have
Sown in this song
Water it, with your tears
Tell me about yourself
In your favorite words
Please, just live, laugh, and cry
As much as possible
The grand story sleeping deep within your heart
Show it to me
All of the sorrow you have
Sown in this song
You've surrendered your kindness and had it stolen
You understand, don't you?
Let me hear your song
Holding onto it so you don't lose it
Tell me your secrets
Share your feelings with me
Nurture my sadness, with your tears
