Lullaby for you - TWEWY OST Lullaby For You Vocals: Jyongri Kawatta no wa boku na no ka, keshiki na no ka, fuan da kedo Tonari ni mamoritai kimi ga ireba ii to ima omotta. Wasuretai koto mo aru keredo, furikaeru to, yowaku naru kedo Omoide wa kokoro no takaramono da kara soba ni aru no sa. A lullaby for you Ashita no hikari wa matte iru kara May tomorrow be wonderful too Te o toriaeru chikara ga areba Nemuri kara samete mo, hitori ja nai (you and me, friends aren’t we?) Nemurenai no wa kodomo da kara, kodoku da kara, heiki datta kedo Yume o minagara yoru o sugoshitai to kanjita no wa hajimete sa. A lullaby for you Hoshi wa kanarazu kagayaku kara May tomorrow be wonderful too Itsuka wa idaku kibou ga aru kara Tesaguri no yami de mo, hitori ja nai Kioku no naka de, kizami ikite yukitai Mou sude ni the past is gone eternally A lullaby for you Ashita no hikari wa matte iru kara May tomorrow be wonderful too Te o toriaeru chikara ga areba Nemuri kara samete mo, hitori ja nai Hitori ja nai ====== translation ======= Is it me who is different? Or is it the scenery? I’m worried But just now I thought that you, who I want to protect, should be next to me. There are things that I want to forget, but if I look back, I’ll become weak But since my memories are treasures of my heart, they’re by my side. A lullaby for you Because the light of tomorrow is waiting May tomorrow be wonderful too If the strength of being able to take up each other’s hands exists Then even when I wake from slumber, I won’t be alone (you and me, friends aren’t we?) Because what is sleepless is a child, because it’s loneliness, I was fine But it’s the first time that I’ve felt that I want to pass the night while dreaming. A lullaby for you Because the stars will certainly shine May tomorrow be wonderful too Because there’s a hope that I’ll embrace someday Even in the darkness of fumbling, I won’t be alone Within my memories, I want to engrave and live Already, the past is gone eternally A lullaby for you Because the light of tomorrow is waiting May tomorrow be wonderful too If the strength of being able to take up each other’s hands exists Then even when I wake from slumber, I won’t be alone I won’t be alone |

A Lullaby for You - TWEWY OST Music Video and Lyrics |
A Lullaby for You - TWEWY OST There may not be an answer to this too; why the sky is blue. Is the change in me all true? Now that you are next to me I have no fears and all I know is that I want to be with you. Sometimes its easy to forget the times we weep. The moment makes us weak and though the shame I see memories exist for all the precious days my heart still wants to keep somewhere deep inside of me A lullaby for you don't you worry baby I'll be here by your side may tomorrow be wonderful too close to you I hope to stay endlessly from today even through cloudy days you are not alone Sweet dreams I do not see 'cause darkness scares me is it because I'm still fifteen or the loneliness in me wish I may, I wish I might sleep soundly through the windy night just to dream of you tonight A lullaby for you stars will always gracefully watch over 'till it's bright may tomorrow be wonderful too take my hand and promise me that will be alright finding a place to feel at home you are not alone Maybe I'll turn back to stay where I came from only yesterday Where the past, the past is gone eternally A lullaby for you don't you worry baby I'll be here by your side May tomorrow be wonderful too close to you I hope to stay endlessly from today even through cloudy days you are not alone you are not alone... |

The World Ends With You OST - Make or Break It was in the black box Turn out the light You feel this rave and soothing waves Take off your shirt Turn up the music The shower of lies feels so good You know how to treat me Tell me what you want The hum of the breeze is all I hear Inhale and exhale Let me stay with you I need you closer every now and then "Make or Break, take what you like" I won't run away Sick of our criteria Time won't wait for you "I, mine, me" No matter what I can't run away Scratch out massive data I'm inside of you I think you heard me Don't get inside of me "In a fret, unaccepted with nothing left" Just like a charm "No doubt, no harm" The pleasant water feels so good You know how Deceive me, kick over the trace "All by myself, bearing it" Forget me not You're the only one I miss your heart every day and night Don't you know what's wrong with you? I am all the same "Light up one last candle, oh how daring you are" |

Detonation - The World Ends With You OST You've seen its foundation Holding up a ragged nation You know it in your mind What it's like and how it lies You want the right resolution The right to get another portion You know now is the time To get ready for detonation "Rise up like a vortex, cortex" Reality is full of immorality "Retreaters, they cheer the diffusers" "Moist, icky, crust that's what they like" insanity means nothing within vanity "Good creatures, they wallow then they hollow ya" Now sweety go kiss the case You've seen its germination "Stammering, hammering delighted recognition" "Uber world, the hubble-bubble world" "You should love this, say cheers to your ally baby" You chose the left direction "Left your shadow, wanna cuddle with the sorrow?" But how could I? Why should I? I will! Now take a part in our pretty decoration "Drink'em all up voracity, curiosity" The deadly drop is drawn to positivity "Caution, the first crops, they taste so good" Maniac tracks are on the floor tonight "Mixed up with the zodic, maniac" "Gotta heart attack, the flat-line, my life line" "My heart is hardy, pumping up so steadily" "The madman's boys are on the street again, what a game" |

The World Ends With You OST - Game Over Tell me who you are and who you were How much have you been paid? Take it easy R-E-L-A-X Would you like to have something to drink? "To tell the truth, in this contract I don't care about anything except me" "Just want the cash, transferred to my account" Because it will make me feel alright "I'm busy, dizzy, and lazy" I got global eyes and a growing mind "Above all, I'm wise and very well organized" Made a compromise Watch me rise high for the for one last time See how my connection works Information goes back and forth Sit beside the window and all I do is watch the shadow grow longer Linger, for the better, you'll never know what internall decadence means He's got an opinion and posted suggestion but never reveals his name "Read by someone, taken as a good one but nobody knew who had wrote it" Few lines of the sentences lie Anonymity is annoying me all the time "It's like a "2 channel"*, where people can just throw their own anger" And forget about those foul actions "You are driving an expensive car, expectance, supremacy" You're getting out of control; the troll is waiting down below You still lack in experience "Too bad, too close, too late to notice where you are" There's no other way to take "Dependency to the tendency, occasionally you misunderstood" "Living in the life of mediovrity? Hypocrisy, legitimacy" Go over it or game over now? Is this a suitable place to strive? "Say, "Down" to it or drown by it" It's your choice to throw the dice |

Want you to, you call my name "In this hazard, chance of survivial?" I need to be with you Feel the people, hear the voices They are reaching out to catch you Feel the rhythms, hear the noises You are beating all the visions Is it angels, is it devils, whispering in my ears Is it emotions, is it illusions?
