Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
不羁的少女 仍旧在故作端正
悲哀的配角 仍旧是惹笑见称
万众倾心的偶像尽力找一刻恬静
为着光辉的见证承受自我压迫
超级的战斗 仍旧在咄咄进逼
游戏中彼此酝酿实力打赌生命
为着偏激的信仰从未愿意醉醒
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
我已再作了努力 我已变作了冷静
但是现实里我却看不清
明白挤身于舞台是那角色
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
冲天的斗志 无奈地被错折吞并
缤纷的世界 无奈没法见识
倦透的身躯继续屹立抵挡侵袭
堕入孤僻的个性 谁又问过究竟
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
我已再作了努力 我已变作了冷静
但是现实里我却看不清
明白挤身于舞台是那角色
The lyrics of "Ares" by Above & Beyond highlight the struggle and contradictions faced by individuals in various roles, whether it be a rebellious girl, a comical supporting character, a beloved idol, or a scheming politician. The song suggests that these individuals are constantly trying to maintain a facade of normalcy and conformity while dealing with internal pressure and self-oppression. The lyrics also touch upon the idea of intense competition and power games, where individuals constantly assert their strength and beliefs, even at the cost of their own lives. Despite their efforts to appear composed and detached, they are unable to see the reality and clarity in their lives. The song reflects the frustration and confusion of being caught up in roles and personas, lacking a true understanding of oneself amidst the chaos of the world.

Understanding that being on stage is being that character
冲天的斗志 无奈地被错折吞并
The soaring ambition is reluctantly suppressed and swallowed
缤纷的世界 无奈没法见识
The colorful world sadly cannot be experienced
倦透的身躯继续屹立抵挡侵袭
The exhausted body continues to stand and resist attacks
堕入孤僻的个性 谁又问过究竟
Falling into a secluded personality, who has questioned the truth

Great work. :)

Mahalo!

This still remains an absolute masterclass in trance. CD 2 right here of Vol. 5 imo is some of the finest old Anjunagold. Back to back gems & classics. Never Gone into One Wish into Suru is an otherworldly, heavenly pleasure 😌💚 ✨ Not to forget the other tracks, tbh they’re all magical. I’m rambling but man, old Anjunabeats absolutely still delivers 🙌🏼
@josephbarber3719
Yesss just came to listen to those two tracks. 🎉🔥

@ateeuwen072985
Good Tracks from back in the old days. I think this time period of trance is by far the best!
