大塚愛 Lyrics

Give me more
Like that
We watch it settle down
And capitalize on whatever moves
Grab a little bit for your friends
Before they catch you
You better hide yourself away
Get rid of that evidence
They're going to catch you
Help me decipher, secrets
Please don't tell
Can I borrow some sugar?
On my own
They're going to get you
And all stretched out
They're on their way now
It feels like I've been here for hours
And I'm all stretched out
Then when you show your hands
See them glow eight shades of red
Bit late to think of alibis
Just answer the question
Here's where the truth comes out
Veil's lifted, your secret's out
Quit crying innocence
They've already got you
Help me decipher, secrets
Please don't tell
Stand up! Make us proud!
Carry on your back
Hold on, you're not done yet
Finish what you started
Can I borrow some sugar?
Give me more
On my own
They're going to get you
And all stretched out
They're on their way now
It feels like I've been here for hours
And I'm all stretched out
You can't act right
Do not act now
You I can hate
You watch it settle down
And capitalize on whatever moves
Grab a little bit for your friends
And then they catch you
Here's where the truth comes out
Veil's lifted, your secret's out
Quit crying innocence
They've already got you
Got you
Give me more
Give me more
Give me more
On my own
They're going to get you
And all stretched out
They're on their way now
It feels like I've been here for hours
And I'm all stretched out
Help me decipher, secrets
Please don't tell
Stand up! Make us proud!
Carry on your back
Hold on, you're not done yet
Finish what you started
Can I borrow some sugar?

Give me more
I need more information to understand the situation
Like that
I want detailed and specific information
We watch it settle down
We observe the situation calm down and stabilize
And capitalize on whatever moves
And take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself
Grab a little bit for your friends
Take a small share of the opportunity for your friends
Before they catch you
Before anyone realizes you are taking advantage of the opportunity
You better hide yourself away
You should keep your involvement in the situation a secret
Now they've set off to come capture you
Now people are looking for someone to blame for the situation
Get rid of that evidence
Dispose of any proof that could incriminate you
They're going to catch you
They will find out and hold you accountable for your actions
Help me decipher, secrets
I need help understanding the secrets of this situation
Please don't tell
Please keep my involvement in the situation a secret
Can I borrow some sugar?
Can I distract myself from this situation with a menial task?
On my own
I am alone in this situation
They're going to get you
Someone will hold you responsible for the situation
And all stretched out
Being involved in this situation for a long time has tired me out
It feels like I've been here for hours
I have been in this situation for a long time and it feels never-ending
Then when you show your hands
When you reveal your true self and intentions
See them glow eight shades of red
Your guilt and shame are evident and evident to others
Bit late to think of alibis
It is too late to come up with a plausible explanation for your behavior
Just answer the question
Be honest and admit your mistakes
Here's where the truth comes out
This is the moment when the truth is finally revealed
Veil's lifted, your secret's out
The deception is over, and your secret is no longer hidden
Quit crying innocence
Stop denying your involvement in the situation
They've already got you
You have been caught and held accountable for your actions
Stand up! Make us proud!
Take responsibility for your actions and do better in the future
Carry on your back
Take the weight of your actions and be accountable for them
Hold on, you're not done yet
There is still more to be done to make things right
Finish what you started
Follow through with what you began and make it right
You can't act right
You are not behaving appropriately
Do not act now
Stop doing what you are doing
You I can hate
I disapprove of your behavior and actions

「観覧車、メリーゴーランド 好きになりすぎるとダメじゃん ううん、嫌い 嫌い 嫌い でも好きじゃん 恋は迷路」
恋において、自分が好きになった人のはずなのに、何かキッカケがある事で嫌いになって、でも、また好きになる。そんな恋の迷路を、始点と終点が同じの観覧車やメリーゴーランドに例えた歌だと思います。
観覧車も、乗車口から乗りぐるぐる周ったあと、降車口から降りますが、乗り場も降り場も同じですよね。どんだけ嫌いになったとしても、結局は好きなんだという事かな、と思いました。
この歌詞とメロディーラインを考えた愛さんは、すんごく多彩な方ですよね。タイトルの「360°」もそこから来ていると思いますよ！
