TV Maniacs
ELLEGARDEN Lyrics
You said it's all a mess
Good to hear you anyway
We are now overwhelmed with good old perfection
We know the TV sucks
We have much more to learn
You think you are complicated
Don't worry, so am I
You ain't the only one
No matter what they say
I know it's true, nothing's real
We are always compromised
I know it's true, so many lies
We have to leave it all behind
We never thought someone is in the cookie monster
Before we've gotta scatter
Terminate this illusion
I get so frustrated seeing them rig the race
Seated back on the couch grumbling is not the way
We wanna keep it straight
We all need something to trust
Wipe the gloss off my face and you'll see how weird I am
No matter what they say
No need to smile when you cry
I hate it when they try to fake it
I know it's true, nothing's real
We are always compromised
I know it's true, so many lies
We have to leave it all behind
We never thought someone is in the cookie monster
Before we've gotta scatter
Terminate this illusion
You said it's all a mess
Good to hear you anyway
We are now overwhelmed with good old stupid perfection
We know the TV sucks
We have much more to learn
I know it's true, nothing's real
We are always compromised
I know it's true, so many lies
We have to leave it all behind
We never thought someone is in the cookie monster
Before we've gotta scatter
Terminate this illusion

It includes drummer Hirotaka Takahashi, vocalist Takeshi Hosomi, guitarist Shinichi Ubakata, and bassist Yuichi Takada. As of May 2, 2008, Ellegarden's leader Ubukata Shinichi announced an indefinite hiatus of the band. All previously decided shows (including shows not yet announced) up until early September 2008 will still be performed. Though they are on hiatus, the vocalist, Hosomi, has repeatedly stated that they will not be breaking up anytime soon, and will be back on the stage performing again in the future.
Soon after the hiatus began, an official announcement was made on the website declaring that all activities of the band had been indefinitely suspended
They are also referred to as ELLE.
ELLEGARDEN has a sound strikingly similar to some American Pop Punk bands, and sings in both Japanese and English. Their English lyrics (mostly written by Hosomi) are usually grammatically correct and generally very well pronounced. In the Summer 2006 issue of American J-rock magazine purple SKY (p.24), Takeshi was quoted as saying his English skills were improved by the time he spent working as a computer engineer in first Oakland, California, and later in Japan where he had English speaking co-workers.
ELLEGARDEN has been compared to famous artists of similar style, most notably Sum 41 (ELLEGARDEN was the band's opening act on February 2005 during the Sum 41 Japan Tour 2005), Blink 182 and Good Charlotte. Their popularity comes from the sounds that they bring and the strong emotions they express. Despite these similarities however, they have a wide range of sounds that don't quite fit into a single style, but encompass a decent range of rock sounds.
In 2006 ELLEGARDEN performed in numerous Japanese Summer Music Festivals, such as FUJI ROCK, SUMMER SONIC, NANO MUGEN FES and RISING SUN ROCK FESTIVAL.
Their final tour of 2006 features the American band Allister - the bands became friends during SXSW 2006.
It is difficult to get their tour and live tickets because they become sold out in a very short amount of time.
With the international release of their newest album "Eleven Fire Crackers", Ellegarden is quickly growing in popularity - no doubt aided by their recent U.S. gigs.
In 2018, Ellegarden announced their first tour in 10 years, ending their hiatus. The tour, titled "THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN", is to begin in August at Shinkiba Studio Coast, the same venue as their send-off concert.

You said it's all a mess
Good to hear you anyway
We are now overwhelmed with good old perfection
We know the TV sucks
We have much more to learn
You think you are complicated
Don't worry So am I
You ain't the only one
No matter what they say
It only means we just don't fit in
I know it's true Nothing's real
We are always compromised
I know it's true So many lies
We have to leave it all behind
We never thought someone is in the cookie monster
Before we've gotta scatter
Terminate this illusion
I get so frustrated seeing them rig the race
Seated back on the couch grumbling is not the way
We wanna keep it straight
We all need something to trust
Wipe the gloss off my face and you'll see how weird I am
No matter what they say
No need to smile when you cry
I hate it when they try to fake it
You said it's all a mess
Good to hear you anyway
We are now overwhelmed with good old stupid perfection
We know the TV sucks
We have much more to learn
チンピラごぼう
細美さんがラジオでテレビについて
「まだ笑うところじゃないのに笑っている」
「民放テレビは人間の害になりうる」って言ってた。
「人に合わせる」「妥協」「作り笑い」とかが好きじゃないんだろうね。
モミモミくん
その考え方が歌詞に現れてますよね🤨
私も近年のマスメディアのあり方には批判的な考えを持っているのでこの歌詞が響きます、、
