FAKE? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nagareteta hikari wo sashite
Praise it!
So let your dreams unfold, find yourself and go!
Arukidasu subete wo sutete... to where I belong
Ikirukoto no imi wo sagashimotometekita
Urueru hodo no ima wo kakenuketeyuku
Yeah
The way it touched my heart
The way I feel it now
Kanji nagara
I'll never let you go
Egaiteita kioku wo taguriyosete ima...
Down there
Take me to a place full of life and grace
Nagareteta hikari wo sashite
Praise it!
Arehateta kono machi wa
Sweetest trauma in a velvet golden box made from hurt
Ikiru koto no subete kakenukete
The way it touched my heart
The way I feel it now
Kanji nagara
I'll never let you go
Egaiteita kioku wo taguriyosete ima...
Utsushidasu...
It's all a matter of love, love, love, love
Toketeyuku...
It's just a little love, love, love, love
Ubaiau...
And it's all a matter of love, love, love, love
To be a simple thing without no meaning
Is all I wanna be...
With all that I've seen I can't believe
Each day can come back with no relief
I wanted to go outside to space and become all that I could be...
The way it touched my heart
The way I feel it now
Kanji nagara
I'll never let you go
Oikakete
It's all that I can feel and it's alive
It's all I can feel and it's alive
Yeah, yeah
The way you touched my heart
The way I see things now
Kanji nagara
I'll never let you go
Egaiteita kioku no mukou gawa e ima...
Down there!

高橋あずさ Ken is more Jim than Ken to be honest . English suits him much more than Japanese . Why Jim? Because his british name is James
