目黒将司 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kimi wa ne tashika ni ano toki watashi no soba ni ita
Itsudatte itsudatte itsudatte sugu yoko de waratteita nakushitemo
Torimodosu kimi wo I will never leave you

If you wanna battle, then I'll take it to the street
Where there's no rules
Take off the gloves ref, please step down
Gotta prove my skills so get down

My lyrical dempsey roll about to smack down now
Gotta shoot to kill and shoot the skill
Don't you be afraid, man's gotta do how it feels
Six to seven to eight to nine ten
I flip the script to make it to the top ten, go

Dreamless dorm, ticking clock
I walk away from the soundless room
Windless night, moonlight melts
My ghostly shadow into the lukewarm gloom

Nightly dance of bleeding swords
Reminds me that I still live

Every man's gotta fight the fear
I'm the first to admit it
Sheer thoughts provoke the new era

Become a big terror, but my only rival is my shadow
Rewind then play it back and fix my own error
Get low to the ground, it's getting better
Like I told you before, double up, I did bone chiller





L to the J, say stay laced, here's my card, B
Royal flush and I'm the ace

Overall Meaning

The song starts off with the singer reminiscing a past event where she was accompanied by a certain someone, which made her happy. Though they are no longer together, she wants to retrieve the person she lost at any cost. The chorus "Itsudatte itsudatte itsudatte sugu yoko de waratteita nakushitemo, Torimodosu kimi wo I will never leave you" translates to "Always, always, always, you were right beside me, laughing. Even if I lose everything, I will retrieve you, I will never leave you." She is declaring her determination to find the lost person, and she is confident that she will find them.


In the next verse, the singer switches to a more aggressive and competitive tone, as she takes on the persona of a fighter who is ready to battle. She mentions her prowess, and her willingness to face anyone that challenges her. She challenges the referee to let her fight without any restrictions. The reference to 'lyrical dempsey roll' is a boxing technique inspired by real-life boxer Jack Dempsey, where the fighter bobs, weaves, and slips around their opponent, throwing punches at them with both hands.


The following verse seems to depict a more personal struggle that the singer is experiencing in her life. She talks of a dreamless dorm and a ticking clock, perhaps indicating that she feels stuck or unfulfilled. To escape this dreariness, she walks away, into the windless night and moonlight. The dancing of bleeding swords reminds her of what it means to be alive, to fight the fear, and to move forward to create a new era. She concludes by saying that she is her own enemy, and battling her own shadow is what keeps her going.

Minty lotus Juice makes me go
Yes!
Battleground's right here
It's a man's world
Come on
Gotta get ready for this right here
Hey yo


Fear's awake, anger beats loud
Face reality
Never beat charity
The enemy you're fighting
Covers all society (Damn right)
Mommy's not here gotta fight (All night)
Right here, Shadow ten o'clock direction
Seize the moment, they destroy the nation
Your rhyme slow motion, give me motivation
Freaked out now, and dead on arrival (What?)
Round up around, spit out, all over
Rhyme like a rolling stone, coming a crowd
Watch out, they move, they diss you loud
Guess what, this sound it bombs whole ground (So round up)
Don't ease your pace, cause enemy's brutal
Moment of truth, there ain't no truce
You're the only one, one world, one love
But the battle goes on
Shadows of mass destruction

If you wanna battle, then I'll take it to the street
Where there's no rules
Take off the gloves ref, please step down
Gotta prove my skills so get down

My lyrical dempsey roll about to smack down now
Gotta shoot to kill and shoot the skill
Don't you be afraid, man's gotta do how it feels
Six to seven to eight to nine ten

Windless night, moonlight melts
My ghostly shadow into the lukewarm gloom

Nightly dance of bleeding swords
Reminds me that I still live

Every man's gotta fight the fear

Sheer thoughts provoke the new era

Become a big terror, but my only rival is my shadow
Rewind then play it back and fix my own error
Get low to the ground, it's getting better
Like I told you before, double up and take the cheddar

L to the J, say stay laced, here's my card, B Royal flush and I'm the ace
