City -

I am living in the city

Sometimes I am gonna lose

Coming up

Just coming up

Never say"I wanna die"

I am living on the way

Sometimes I am gonna break

Hurry up

Just hurry up

Never say"I wanna run away"

なんもなかった学生時代

何度も問いかけた「俺、何したい？」

そんな時出会ったエルレのCD

意味わからんくらい衝撃受けて一念発起

「音楽で飯を食いたい」そう思ってバンドを組んだんだ

朝も昼も夜もがむしゃらに曲作った

フェス出たいしMステ出たい

武道館でワンマンやりたい

ってかモテたい

どんどん膨らむ天望 裏腹に下がる成績

「あきらめろ」

親 先生 友達から呪文のように言われる言葉

気づいたら居場所がなかった

ただ未来を見つけただけなのに

夢なんか出会わなきゃよかったのかな？

I am living in the city

Sometimes I am gonna lose

Coming up

Just coming up

Never say"I wanna die"

I am living on the way

Sometimes I am gonna break

Hurry up

Just hurry up

Never say"I wanna run away"

結局学校中退 逃げるようにバンドで上京

金ねぇからメンバーで同居

バイトしながらライブをする生活

全然さばけないチケットノルマ

財布はいつでも火の車

俺らを知らないクソブッキングマネージャーが

知ったように俺らを全否定する

カフェとかラーメン屋 エスカレーターにさえ行列ができるこの街

なのに俺らの音楽に並ぶ人なんていなかった

増えない客 逆に増えてく借金とシフト

売れない自信作のCD

東京にも居場所はなかった

「いっそ死んでしまえたら」

飛び降りようとしたメトロのホーム

白線の外側に立った時やっとわかったんだ

「居場所なんてどこにもない

ならば俺らが居場所になればいい」

その瞬間、初めて生まれた意味わかった気がしたんだよ

I am living in the city

Sometimes I am gonna lose

Coming up

Just coming up

Never say"I wanna die"

I am living on the way

Sometimes I am gonna break

Hurry up

Just hurry up

Never say"I wanna run away"

バンド結成して12年 未だに不安ばかりだけど

親 事務所 レコード会社

そしてこれを聴いてるあなた

みんなと一緒に歌えてます

必死で居場所を作っていきます

いや、居場所なんてちっちぇな

俺はあなたにとっての「街」になってみせる

信じた夢の先で

あなたに出会えた

I am living in the city

Sometimes I am gonna lose

Coming up

Just coming up

Never say "I wanna die"

I am living on the way

Sometimes I am gonna break

Hurry up

Just hurry up

Never say "I wanna run away"

When I was a student

I asked many times, "What do you want me to do?"

Elle's CD that I met at that time

I was so shocked that I didn't understand what it meant

I formed a band thinking "I want to eat with music"

I wrote songs in the morning, day and night

I want to go to a festival and I want to go to Music Station

I want to do a one-man operation at the Budokan

I want to be popular

The steadily swelling heavenly ambition

"Give up"

Parents, teachers, words that friends say like spells

I noticed that there was no place to stay

I just found the future

Did I have to meet a dream?

I am living in the city

Sometimes I am gonna lose

Coming up

Just coming up

Never say "I wanna die"

I am living on the way

Sometimes I am gonna break

Hurry up

Just hurry up

Never say "I wanna run away"

After all, I dropped out of school and went to Tokyo with a band to escape

I'm not money, so I live with the members

Life to live while working part-time

Ticket quotas that can't be dealt with at all

The wallet is always a fire car

A fucking booking manager who doesn't know us

As you know, we totally deny us

This town where you can line up even at cafes and ramen shops escalator

But no one was in line with our music

Customers who do not increase Debt and shifts that increase on the contrary

A self-confident CD that doesn't sell

There was no place in Tokyo

"If I die more"

Metro home trying to jump off

I finally knew when I stood outside the white line

"There is no place to stay

Then we should be where we are. "

At that moment, I felt like I understood the meaning of being born for the first time.

I am living in the city

Sometimes I am gonna lose

Coming up

Just coming up

Never say "I wanna die"

I am living on the way

Sometimes I am gonna break

Hurry up

Just hurry up

Never say "I wanna run away"

It's been 12 years since the band was formed, but I'm still worried.

Parent office record company

And you listening to this

I can sing with everyone

I will desperately make a place to stay

No, I don't know where I am

I will make you a "city"

Beyond the dream I believed in

I met you
