現実を嗤う (genjitsu wo warau - laugh at facts)
[東京事変「現実を嗤う」歌詞]
You say those proverbs as if you had contrived them
I know your arrogance, but do not point it out
And you've not changed a bit in three long dismal years
I think your flaw isn't so much your fault as a charm
Maybe i will meet you one day, maybe wednesday, maybe not. . . (not)
Still, I'm sure to meet you anyway, maybe thursday, maybe not. . . (not)
I want to be you
Just like a leaf that has flown away with the wind and the rain
This "romance" is so mellow, and "so real"
Just like a song that has died away with a flash in the night
I would like to be composed of you
You tell your stories as if you had no respect for anyone
I sing my songs as if I were a prostitute
You take a snap at me, and stuff yourself on my welfare
I feel like i am clinging to a cloud
Maybe, I will kiss you slowly, maybe quickly, maybe not. . . (not)
Still, I'm sure to kiss you anyway, maybe sweetly, maybe not. . . (not)
I want to be you
It's hard to spend a lifetime for myself with the quakes and the storm
This "romance" is an error, and "surreal"
It's clear that I love your insensitiveness like the hills and the sky
I would like to be merged into you
I want to be you
Just like a leaf that has flown away with the wind and the rain
This "romance" is so mellow, and "so real"
Just like a song that has died away with a flash in the night
I would like to be composed of you
I want to be you
It's hard to spend a lifetime for myself with the quakes and the storm
This "romance" is an error, and "surreal"
It's clear that I love your insensitiveness like the hills and the sky
I would like to be merged into you
I want to be you
Just like a leaf that has flown away with the wind and the rain
This "romance" is so mellow, and "so real"
Just like a song that has died away with a flash in the night
I would like to be.. I would like to be
