This is my fashion
The Pillows Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

価値があるのか ないのかなんて
僕が決めるさ ほっといてくれよ
メッキをぬりたくって 守ってる
プライドなんて ほしくはないよ

人に媚を売る気なんて かけらもないさ
僕には できないよ
マヌケなつくり笑顔なんて やってられるかよ
This is my fashion

たとえ時代が流れたとしても
変わらないモノがきっとあるはずさ
意地をはったまま独りぼっちの
嫌われ者でも僕はかまわない

君にさえもわかってもらえなかった時は
やりきれないけれど
自分の気持ちを閉じ込めるなんて無理さ
This is my fashion

Some people don't like this album, and while it us quite different than their later albums, I think songs like this prove that they were always good imo

@numburger

English lyrics:
Is it worth it or not?
I'll decide, leave me alone
I want to paint the plating and protect it
I don't want her to pride

She doesn't want to sell her love to people I can't do her
She can make a silly smile

Even if the times pass
There must be something that doesn't change
Alone with stubbornness
I don't mind if you hate me

When you didn't even understand
I can't finish it
It's impossible to lock in your feelings

@VerdantAssassin

Their first album 😊

@EnderBlazeVS

not first. the first was Pantomime. this is their third.

@numburger

@Jeidaburu Pantomime and any other albums before were EP's. This is The Pillows' first studio album, so op is technically right
