Katana
EXiNA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ready to SAY BYE
KATANA gonna KILL yeah

One day
飛び交うLIE
Ugly days
And then
繰り返す葛藤
Again and again
Some day
くたばるなんてNonsense
My life as a REBEL baby
狙い定めよ

Checkmate
謀はBad smell
Update
埃かぶった信念
Go to hell
Headache
乱闘・ダウト・劣等 混乱してんだ Boy

磨け 研ぎ澄ませ
The feeling and the YAIBA

My tears run down my face and disappear into the big black void
いつまでも子供じゃないわ

Ready to SAY BYE
愛で悪をKILL 息塞ぐKISSのように
You told me 君は誰なのか
Let's dance in the blood
今世界に立ち向かえ
さぁ Come alive again

KATANA gonna KILL you

I hate
変えて見せろThe world
Graduate
「認めて」なんてもう言わないよ Stop
My fate
戦場のAzalea

Judgment
I'm a REBEL baby
曝け出せよ

My tears run down my face and disappear into the big black void
Shout it out or wreck yourself
I know the meaning well
いつまでも子供じゃないわ

Ready to SAY BYE
愛と悪をKILL ほろ苦いくらいがいいさ
I told you 僕が誰なのか
Let's dance in the blood
傷ついた手を照らす朝
Don't stop and SAY BYE
愛で悪をKILL 息塞ぐKISSのように
You told me 君は誰なのか
Let's dance in the blood
今世界に立ち向かえ
さぁ Come alive again





KATANA gonna KILL me
KATANA gonna KILL me...

Overall Meaning

The singer is tired of pretense and lies, and instead chooses to embrace rebellion as a means of fighting against those who would deceive and oppress.

Despite the hardships and challenges faced, the singer remains resolute in their determination to be true to themselves and to fight against injustice.

I love you EXiNA ❤

@TelleR

これが数年前までラブメンホリックや吹雪歌ってた人・・・さらにパワーのある歌声が増していますね。
ミニアルバムの収録内容が楽しみになってきましたね~。

@user-mh5wc7vb4k

このアルバムは個人的に見ても名盤だと思ってます 特にこの曲の攻撃力は半端ないね

@_BAND-MAID_fan

👏👏👏 Hell YES!🤘
アップロードありがとうございます。 👍

@user-vc3qg7jb3t

めっちゃカッコいい!!!
アルバムがより楽しみになりました!!!

@TVEE

This music is so pumped.

@jp5926is

毎回攻めてめちゃくちゃロックしてくれるのもすごくかっこよくて好きなんだけど
こう毎回一辺倒にがなって音圧高めの曲ばかりだと心配になる
帰還やピアチェーレみたいな静かなバラードとかGoodbye Graffitiみたいなロックだけどポップよりな耳に残りやすいメロディーの曲が同じアルバムにあることが西沢幸奏の魅力だったことも忘れないでほしい、、、
アルバム聞いてみないとわからないけど、それだけにアルバム聞いてみたい気持ちと不安な気持ちが今の所半々です

@miso_neko

これからもアニソンいっぱい歌ってほしい

@user-vr7tu2zx7n

いいね!ライブで聴きたい!🔥

@marina365days

めっちゃかっこいいです!!!
