My favorite lyrics from B'z...

Pilgrim

Spoiler:

Thousands of flower petals dancing in the wind
Like pink butterflies, they traverse the roads ahead

That was something I've been seeing before, at a time that cannot be reverted to

When I whispered nonchalant words...
You extended your hand and held mine tight

Oscillating still, I've come across you again
The seasons grab me
Try to face forward, try to believe
The future will always be prone to change

All those things I'm unable to recall are abundant in number
Thinking of them while turning my gaze to the sky, I sneeze

Those things that have gone by and faded away — such was called fate

When I spewed those idle and trifling words...
You said nothing, hung your head low, and made way for tears

Oscillating still, you disappeared again
The sceneries surround me
Try to strain your eyes and focus, try to brand it deeply
Upon where these cascading words are headed

Though it is "love", it can sometimes be fragile
That which can protect it is... "Love," as expected?

Oscillating still, I've come across you again
The seasons envelop around me
Try to recall those wonderful days
And those things you never want to destroy

Highway chance

Spoiler:

But it can’t end like this, I don’t want to end it, do I?
I’m waiting for a chance
Quietly waiting for a chance

You can’t run away, through the airport or through the harbour
Life won’t let you get away, yeah, so easily
Going home, hurrying home, it’s the same at night
There’s no way out

You can’t run from hunger or defeat
Life won’t let you get away, yeah, so easily
It won’t even let you do things over
So look forward
This isn’t a video game

It’s like getting on the highway from a loop road – that kind of image
You push forward, but the reality is
It’s lying in the palm of someone’s hand

No matter how hard things get, no matter how sad you get, you mustn’t run away
Life won’t let you get away, yeah, so easily
So don’t give up, you can’t get down on yourself
Your chance will come
That day is getting closer

It’s like getting on the highway from a loop road – that kind of image
You push forward, but the reality is
It’s lying in the palm of someone’s hand

But it can’t end like this, I don’t want to end it, do I?
It’s crunch time, as I summon up all my strength
I’m waiting for a chance
Quietly waiting for a chance

It’s like getting on the highway from a loop road – that kind of image
I’m going to move on, so I can make that image reality

If I’m not going to let my highway chance slip away
I can’t take my eyes off it; bye bye, I’m going to catch up right now

How crazy (my all-time favorite song)

Spoiler:

I put my cold guitar inside its case.
People still want me to play tonight,
But I think I’ve had enough today.
Yeah, I’m feeling all right.

Adults give me advice all the time,
Strange people I can’t respect.
I didn’t really want to be like you at first.

My faded jeans rustle as I get on a subway train,
I peer into the window and see my dark reflection.
I haven’t changed at all, I’m still as I was back then.

I wish I had some money for a change, you know?

How Crazy!
Stop talking like you can read my mind.
You can’t, I’m telling you.
How Crazy!
I’m just a rat that escaped from a burning ship,
Sinking deep into the sea.

I’ve always loved my dreams and desires,
Blindly following them isn’t the way to go.

Walking up the subway steps creeps me out.
The light at the end feels dark and unknown.

In a parking by lot by twilight’s light,
I see a happy little kid, waving his hand at me,
Without a care in the world.

I yell at the naive child,
Trying to tell him to be wise,
To use his time as he should,
But I don’t know how to say it.

It’s useless, it’s hopeless.
He can’t understand either way.

Oh God, it’s so cruel. For both of us.

How Crazy!
Stop talking like you can read my mind.
You can’t, I’m telling you.
How Crazy!
I’m just a rat that escaped from a burning ship,
Sinking deep into the sea.

I’ve always loved my dreams and desires,
Blindly following them will do nothing for me.

Work, work, study study,
Get those A’s and honors in school
Or your family will weep in shame.

You can make a billion dollars in a flash,
But can’t respect yourself.
Baby, that’s me.
My mind groans under a thousand contradictions.
How long must I live in a world like this?!

How Crazy!
Stop talking like you know who I am.
You don’t, I’m telling you.
How Crazy!
I’m just a rat that escaped from a burning ship,
Sinking deep into the sea.

I clutched my cold guitar and sang a song by myself,
Just like I did all those years ago…

O.NO.RE

Spoiler:

Hey, how do people become knockout?
Until they actually become, it’s deep inside.
You’re setting limits in your head
And feel relieved when you fit the mold

Know yourself, and you’ll become strong this way
I can’t get away, and that’s why I’m burning silently
Know your limits, and your strength will excel
You can’t get away, If you want it, want it, want it
Then do it, so you won’t regret not doing it

Buying and buying, why it never ends?
Things that you’re getting in your hands are just shadows
I only want you to turn from that
Hey, become sober and go back home

Know yourself, and you’ll become strong this way
I can’t get away, and that’s why I’m burning silently
Know your limits, and your strength will excel
You can’t get away, If you want it, want it, want it
Then do it, so you won’t regret not doing it

Until you accept yourself
Wherever you go you will feel pain once more
Forget about patience and become defiant
If you lick your wound it will open again,
Remember the beginning of this journey very clearly,
Stretch your back, and start remembering now

Know yourself, and you’ll become strong this way
I can’t get away, and that’s why I’m burning silently
Know your limits, and your strength will excel
You can’t get away, If you want it, want it, want it
Who am I? Cross this boundary
I won’t get away, If you want it, want it, want it
So just be prepared

Know yourself…
