   I dare say i'm happy
I went to JTown and bought Laruku's album, "REAL" no gothic lolita bibles tho... -_-;; after coming back from Jtown, my dad took us to barnes and noble. I bought a how-to-draw book. Normally i don't like getting how to draw books, but i needed this one because it had an entire chapter dedicated to photoshop. ^^; i probably just should have bought a photoshop book... ^^;

oh, i also bought under the glass moon v. 1... i had already read the 2nd one but not the 1st... the style is so much different from the 2nd one but that's ok, because it's still a really good book ^_^ and gackt's in it ^__^

LYRICS
i LOVE "stay away" (track 7 on the REAL CD) so here are lyrics and a translation:

Printable Version

Nukedashita taichi de
Te ni ireta no wa jiyuu
Maybe lucky, maybe lucky
I dare say I’m lucky

Reeru(rail) no uwa ni zotte
Dokomade yukeru kara
Maybe lucky, maybe lucky
I dare say I’m lucky

Yaki mashi no sekai ni wa hikara naikara
Kimi no mirai wa acchi so trying trying in yourself

*Causes stain, stay away
Causes stain, stay away (ooh)

Massara na taiyou wa
Dare ni mo furisosogu
Maybe happy maybe happy
I dare say I’m happy

Urusaku iwanaide ne
Shisunde shimau kara
Maybe happy maybe happy
I dare say I’m happy

Karamitsuku sekai ni wa unzari na no sa
Kage fumi shitenaide so trying trying in yourself

*
Causes stain, stay away
Right away, oh! Bother me!
Right away...

Umare nagara boku wa muhou jyoutai sa
Ishikoro korogashi so trying trying in myself

*
Causes stain, stay away
Right away

Ukabu kumo no youni
Dare mo boku wo tsukamenai
Nani mo kamo wo kowashii
Jiyuu no moto ni umareta

TRANSLATION
on a planet that's slipped out
what I got was freedom.
maybe lucky maybe lucky
I dare say I'm lucky

How far can I go, following along on this rail ?
maybe lucky maybe lucky
I dare say I'm lucky.

I'm not attracted by a world made from a copy
but your future is there.
c'mon trying trying in yourself

causes stain stay away
causes stain stay away

brandnew sunlight pours on everyone.
maybe happy maybe happy
I dare say I'm happy.

Don't speak so loudly,
or (that sun) will set.

maybe happy maybe happy
I dare say I'm happy.

I am getting sick of the world twisting me.
don't step on your shadow.

c'mon trying trying in yourself.

causes stain stay away
causes stain stay away
causes stain stay away
right away oh ! BOTHER ME

From birth I've been exempt from laws
rolling pebbles.
c'mon trying trying in myself.

causes stain stay away
causes stain stay away
causes stain stay away
right away...

I'm like a floating cloud that none can catch.
destroying everything, I was born by freedom.

Translator's Notes: I haven't read what this song is about but, it seems pretty random. At first glance the chorus seesm like a detergent commercial but the way hyde sings it is seperate so allay your worries (or don't get your hopes up) that Larc is going to start selling cleaning products. Even the line brand new sunlight sounds like an ad for something. I swear he wrote this watching TV commercials. The general consensus among people who have heard it around me, and my own thought is that hyde is lamenting his part in this world. Like he wants to be seperate from all these trying and mundane things. The line "I'm not attracted by a world made from a copy..." is also like a commercial in that it uses the word for a copy print when making photos. There's something here. Like he doesn't want to be part of this big commercial world in particular. The first line has got me intrigued. I think I get it now, he's saying when the world was created, we had freedom. But so many of us have sold our freedom for this instantly gratifying empty happiness. That has rules. That little punk Hyde thinks he's exempt huh? Larc is a product. Maybe that's why he has to say this. Enjoy a refreshing Larc experience. !!
