さぁ 思い(思い)っきりブチ破ろう oh oh yeah
リアルを手に入れるんだ
Three, two, one, go
俺がハスラー kid これ果たすだけ
声からす訳 超えられるか dis
それは誰だ ha ha
待ちに待ったこれが俺の show time
壮大キメろ all night
ヤバめな flow で沸き出す場内 west side
East side 上げろ hands up
アスファルトを蹴り飛ばして
退屈な夜にドロップキックした
つもりすべって空振り oh oh
テキトーなノリでバックれて
ありえねーウソ並べたって
世界変えられやしない
夢を語るフリしてれば (uh okay, uh, okay, okay, we know)
なんか大人になれる気がして 舌打ちをした (uh okay)
ギリギリでいつも生きていたいから
Ah ここを今飛び出して行こうぜ (ah ah)
このナミダ ナゲキ未来へのステップ
さぁ思いっきりブチ破ろう

新しいシャツ脱ぎ捨てて
ずぶ濡れになった火曜日を
笑いたきゃ笑えばいい
雨上がり濡れた堤防で
はじめて君についたウソは
いまも乾いちゃいない
悪いけど賢くはないさ
きっとアタマよりココロで考えるタイプ

The lyrics to KAT-TUN's song FACE to Face are about living life to the fullest and grabbing hold of reality. The song starts with the singer stating that he wants to live on the edge and break free, using the metaphor "break through with all your might" to describe his desire for change. He expresses his passion and self-confidence by declaring that he is a "hustler kid" who will overcome any obstacle, and goes on to describe his excitement for his own showtime.
The song then goes on to describe various experiences in life, such as kicking the asphalt and drop-kicking boredom, but acknowledges that not everything will go smoothly. The singer admits to being the type who thinks with his heart rather than his head, and that he may not be the most intelligent person, but makes up for it with his determination and passion.
In the end, the song is a call to action to take risks, pursue your dreams, and grab hold of reality. The lyrics encourage listeners to live each day as if it were their last, to let go of their doubts and fears and to take action.
