Lyrics & Translation

[English] The mouth that spews beautiful lies
Is the one causing you pain
Beautiful Lies / Hoshimachi Suisei
Composer: Hoshimachi Suisei
Arranger: Taku Inoue
Singer: Hoshimachi Suisei
Days filled with the same words over and over
Ah, seeking meaning, leaning on each other
Behind the crowded color filters
I’m laughing
The cunningness and grudges I hold inside
Even now, I’m living in my own way
Still trapped in my obsessive thoughts
Pretending to be strong, biting my lips
Acting like I don’t understand
Ah
Just pretending not to understand
The mouth that spits beautiful lies
Because I hate it, I sing these songs
That face of resignation
Darkening my world
Even this voice
Can’t get through
Wanting to craft something more perfect
Wanting to weave words all along
Always craving more
Surely I’m mistaken
Even today, I’m falling again
An imperfect morning
In days where I can’t even speak the truth
Those voices scoffing at “idealism”
Without being able to choose my words in return
Just increasing the pain
Hiding behind my impulsive pride
Do I want to live beautifully like this?
Layering on resignation
I lose sight of what’s “real”
The mouth that spews beautiful lies
Because I hate it, I sing these songs
That face of resignation
Is the one causing you pain
Even this voice
Can’t get through
Wanting to craft something more perfect
Wanting to weave words all along
Always craving more
Surely I’m mistaken
Still, I will sing
Because it’s imperfect
