1997
Man with a Mission Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Crush your brains and grow your mind of sincerity
Flush your head to recall what you wanted to be
止まった日々を投げ出したんだ
そうもう一回 and find your growing way

I know the days and music brimming out the sound of lifetime
1997 standing there and getting so high
Wow wow wow we're shouting Wow wow wow we're laughing
Wow wow wowwow I never lost myself more than this

湯気が立つほど暴れ狂うそのビート
切り裂くジャックナイフのようなリズム
Wow wow wow Hi-Standard rocking on the stage to Stay Gold
Wow wow wowwow I never lost myself more than those days

Nothing nothing nothing nothing's changing
Husking Bee was there for me, I'm walking
Life Life Life Life is going
Yeah the sound is calling me

Crush your brains and grow your mind of sincerity
Flush your head to recall what you wanted to be
もう一回失えばいいんだよ
Reraise that fist and free your pain away

Crush your brains and grow your mind of sincerity
Flush your head to recall what you wanted to be
鳴り出したリフに駆け出したんだ
そうもう一回 to find your growing way Yeah

Crash your brain, just crush your brain!!

Crush your brains and grow your mind of sincerity
Flush your head to recall what you wanted to be
そう一回眼を閉じればいいんだよ
Reraise your fist just like the glowing days

Crush your brains and grow your mind of sincerity
Flush your head to find the one thing you just want to be
Nothing nothing nothing nothing's changing
Rock of Truth goes on with Super Stupid




Time Time Time Time is moving
Life Life Life Life is going
