Sang for quite awhile but still didn't sing completely about
the pain of this city
But the more pain, the more we're able to imagine
the happiness of tomorrow
I wear a smile on my face like everybody else
still living on this earth
I'm prepared now to speak
the fucking truth, lies, and nonsense

Suddenly a new movement comes along
And changes my life like a revolution
A girl bringing love appears
Whipping my face like a storm

Love is a movement where
everything you say must be the truth
In comparison a revolution of so many years
seems completely fucking fake
I forgot that a sensitive temper suddenly becomes worse
after being released from control
It's an indirect reaction brought by long-term repression
and expressed once love arrives

Suddenly a new movement comes along
And changes my life like a revolution
A girl bringing love appears
Whipping my face like a storm

Love comes into my heart
And changes life like a revolution
A girl appears
And whips my eyes like a storm

Sang for quite awhile but still didn't sing completely about
the loneliness of this city
But the deeper the loneliness, the more we're able to feel
the joy of love
People wear smiles on their faces just like before yet
strolling around idly
I suddenly realize I've been
completely confused by this movement
