[Single - Dekkai Ai / Ki Do Ai Raku] Johnny's WEST - 真夜中のLION (Lion of the Night)
it took me so so long to post this bc i keep forgetting 😭
but here's one of my favourites in the single!
The heartless passing shower
Gets in the way of my footsteps
The preaching streets
Sting as if touching a swell
Caught in the crowd
I was but a scapegoat of egos
Before the day ends today
I feel like I might forget how to howl
You, too, are not alone
When you feel like you are hurting
It’s the same for everyone...
The lion of the night learns
That there are no endless nights
Claws at the darkness in panic
It just wants to be heard
In this unforgiving world
It just, it just, it just...
Sings
La, la, la...
In hopes that it will reach someone
A baby who can’t stop crying
Learns to play on its own
Walking alone through solitude
Has its own beauty in it
The one blocking the way forward
Is always ourselves
There are no sleepless nights
The harmonies echoing in the moonlight
Pierce through the gloomy mornings
Wanting it to be noticed
By this enclosed world
It just, it just, it just...
Sings
Past the withered meadows
And the desiccated oasis...
It searched for a place to belong again
If you touched my tiny little heart
You’ll be able to hear its heartbeat
Dancing in the night as if it were performing
Never touched by any,
Its mane sways...
The lion of the night learns
That there are no endless nights
Claws at the darkness in panic
It just wants to be heard
In this unforgiving world
Not yet...
There are no sleepless nights
The harmonies echoing in the moonlight
Pierce through the gloomy mornings
Wanting it to be noticed
By this enclosed world
It just, it just, it just...
Ah, it just, it just...
Sings
La, la, la...
In hopes that it will reach someone
