So, a while back
hitome_bore and I got it into our heads that there was something super special about Nagayan's song Kotoba Kara (especially given that it's the song Tuti played at That Panisuta), and after much deliberation, we realized that the lyrics didn't sound like anything Nagayan would write at all...but rather sounded like Tuti himself speaking.
Yes, we thought Tuti wrote the song, and Nagayan sang it.
Three years after I originally translated the thing, I've retranslated it, and...
I feel even more strongly about it now 8D
You ask me over and over again, calling me a liar.
I know you worry, but just trust me a little.
Even if you plug in the cord and jiggle it a little, you can't suck up the past with a vacuum.
I stood fast, but you stared at the ground and whispered, "I'm lonely."
I know you want to hear me say I love you,
But I just want you to feel my overflowing feelings.
I could never lie to you.
I just want to stay like this together with you forever...
Don't lie to me, I know what's going on when you look at me like that.
You can't fool me with that fake smile and that off-balance attitude.
The words written in your text messages are reflected in your eyes
So to distract you from crying, I seal your lips with a kiss.
Words spoken lightly don't hold any real meaning.
I'm always looking at you and you alone.
So don't tell me, "It's fine even if it's a lie."
Feel me even closer than this...with you.
I'll hold you tight, all the time, close to my heart.
I won't let you go, I'll hold you tight, won't let you leave my heart.
I know you want to hear me say I love you, but I just want you to feel my overflowing feelings.
I could never lie to you. I just want to stay like this together forever...
I can't put it into words. I can't help falling in Love.
Love forever, Love forever, I can't help falling in Love.
Love forever, Love forever, I can't help falling in Love.
Love forever, Love forever, I can't help falling in Love.
...with you.
Read that with the thought in your mind that it's Tuti speaking to Nagayan and try and tell me you can't imagine it happening :P It's the little things ("I know you want to hear me say I love you, but I just want you to feel my overflowing feelings" and "You can't fool me with that fake smile and that off-balance attitude") that you could just write off as typical lyrical stuff (which it may very well be) but really just scream Tuti to me -- plus, seriously, who would write lyrics like "you can't suck up the past with a vacuum cleaner"?? XD;;;
Thoughts?
