BACK-ON – EYES | Lyrics
EYES is undeniably one of my favourite Back-on songs, and hence are the first lyrics I’ve typed up from BLAZE LINE/a day dreaming…. This album is unique in that there is a higher percentage of English lyrics than previous albums (great way of attracting the international audience imho).
It was surprisingly straightforward to type up, but there are a few points worth mentioning:
マジ
This means ‘serious’. So TEEDA is “spittin'” a serious manifesto.Where is R.E.A.L ã ã‹ã‚‰è‡ªåˆ†ã®ç›®ã§è¦‹ã¦ F.E.E.L
For “自分” – or “jibun”, TEEDA stresses the ‘n’ sound at the end.
å¼¾ã飛ã°ã—ãŸãã® coin!
“å¼¾” is usually pronounced “dan”, but in this instance, “haji” is used instead.
EYES (for me anyway) screams ‘Compare and contrast’ (obviously nothing to do with my exam essay title) with the plentiful use of ‘or’ in the lyrics:
プラス ㋠マイナス ㋠(Plus or Minus)
真実 or 幻想 (Reality or Illusion)
è£ã‹è¡¨ã‹ (Inside or Outside | Underneath or on the Surface)
å…‰ã‹å½±ã‹ (Light or Shadow)
It would be very interesting to translate the song, wouldn’t you agree?
