SixTONES – こっから / THE FIRST TAKE

SixTONES – こっから / THE FIRST TAKE

I’m getting nervous cuz it’s been a while Forgot how we’re supposed to do this It’s been 2 years I tripped Tripped up a bit It’s really been a while What, it’s been 2 years already? Wow That’s right We’re here It’s all coming back to me

Wow, that right. Yeah, I know, this is the way it’s done That’s right We get one shot Just one shot That’s right OK OK OK It’s been a while I may be exaggerating but this place feels like our alma mater That’s an exaggeration Let’s do it

We did the same thing 2 years ago We did something like this Let’s start Pretty lax That’s how it is Hey boy, your ordinary born in the Nippon First cry “wah,” headed for the wildlands How can someone below average dig for minerals deep down below? Who cares!

You gotta sink or swim Have clear-cut values become meaningless in this world? This take, born from the struggles emerging from a flash of anger, can’t be cut, yo I can’t be someone else, Oh I know, I know… I wanna, wanna destroy these breaks I know this isn’t enough

But I’m banking on this cuz I’ve got no other options The future may be wrong, but it still looks bright to me Let it fire! Fired up with determination Those iron bars I’ll smash them up In a state of hopeless Is where I’m at

But it all starts from here With the enthusiasm of a child, I’ll give it my best This love I’ve got for my dreams has got to be reciprocated Here, it starts from here 1, 2, 3, 4 in sequence Wasn’t the way it went, but things are still going as planned

Rollin’, rollin’, roll along, yo It’s a life filled with choices 1, 2, 3, 4 in sequence Wasn’t the way it went, but things are still going as planned Rollin’, rollin’, roll along, yo It starts from here From here? Where? Don’t know cuz we’re completely outta fuel

This ain’t right Been optimistic, but it wasn’t easy going, in fact, it was rough I wanna be alone, but there are too many people around Even trying to reveal my true self’s a struggle Don’t want to be asked, silent people, but there are “people, people, people” wherever I go

Been moving forward on a yellow light And after all we’ve endured, we’ll walk on the red carpet Ta-li-la-li-la-li-la-ta♪　 Come on！ I just said we have our fill of choices, right? Wait until tomorrow and you might miss an opportunity Life is but a bolt from the blue

A dark fire of frustration burns within me Let it burn, burn, burn Fired up with determination Those iron bars I’ll smash them up In a state of hopeless Is where I’m at But it all starts from here With the enthusiasm of a child, I’ll give it my best

This love I’ve got for my dreams has got to be reciprocated Here, it starts from here “It’s not my fault. Haven’t done anything wrong.” Need to blame something other than yourself No genius, how lame It’s time you figured things out This isn’t fiction Look close, there’s no such thing as innate talent

But it looks like you can’t quit Makes me look dumb or foolish A future on fire starting from here is what I want to see Fire blazing Don’t leap to conclusions about your limitations Find the right answer for you There’s no such thing as your true self, yo!

“Gotta raise yourself up high, not low” The crux of the problem is believing that’s the truth One will excel at what one loves I can’t be someone else, Oh I know, I know… I wanna, wanna destroy these breaks Oh, cut to the chase and get going Take the uncharted path

Let your self admonishings turn your inferiorities and jealousies into fuel Let it fire! Fired up with determination Those iron bars I’ll smash them up In a state of hopeless Is where I’m at But it all starts from here With the enthusiasm of a child, I’ll give it my best

This love I’ve got for my dreams has got to be reciprocated Here, it starts from here 1, 2, 3, 4 in sequence Wasn’t the way it went, but things are still going as planned Rollin’, rollin’, roll along, yo It’s a life filled with choices 1, 2, 3, 4 in sequence

Wasn’t the way it went, but things are still going as planned Rollin’, rollin’, roll along, yo It starts from here
