Better Man

Thursday, March 23rd, 2006

Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
in the pouring rain

Give me endless summer
Lord, I fear the cold
Feel I’m getting old
before my time

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord, I’m doing what I can
to be a better man

Go easy on my consience
Cause it’s not my fault
I know I’ve been taught
to take the blame

Rest assured, my angels
will catch my tears
Walk me out of here
I’m in pain

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord I’m doing what I can
to be a better man

Once you found that love is your homeward bound
Love is all around, love is all around
I know that some have fallen on stony ground
But love is all around

Send someone to love me
I need to rest in arms
Keep me safe from harm
in the pouring rain

Give me endless summer
Lord, I fear the cold
Feel I’m getting old
before my time

As my soul heals the shame
I will grow through this pain
Lord, I’m doing what I can
to be a better man

- Sung by Robbie Williams

>> A great great song here.. Everytime I hear this song, it always renews my resolution to be a better man.. Still it’s always on Lord’s wishes that we have to face what we’ve faced and don’t forget there’s always a path Lord gives us whether we’re stuck on.. That’s our lesson of life, just remember that you can always be a better person as long as you realize what Lord shows and tells you through His way.. :))

Shounen Heart (Young Boy’s Heart)

Sunday, March 19th, 2006

Can you remember the melody I used to hum?
(Back in the days) Every memory is shining brightly
(So) You gotta remember that now you have a piece of the dreams in your hands
Like back then, (Come on), it shines like a young boy’s heart

When I wrote about my "future dream",
How many years have past since I was my old self
While swinging between reality and idealization,
My burning passion disappeared.

Wait! Hey, wait up!
The game is only starting, get hyped! Get hyped!
It’s game over only when you give up
So stand up under your own strength

Do you remember?
Back in the days, we give all our strength for faint hope
We lived for tomorrow
Did we forget those feelings somewhere?

There’s no limit to our youth
I think that age doesn’t matter for adventurous spirits
Isn’t it right?
We wanna make our dreams come true, so…

Let’s bloom, let’s bloom, let’s bloom! Let’s bloom the flowers of passion!
Let’s bloom, let’s bloom, let’s bloom…

Can you remember the melody I used to hum?
(Back in the days) Every memory is shining brightly
(So) You gotta remember that now you have a piece of the dreams in your hands
Like back then, (Come on), it shines like a young boy’s heart

-Taken from first phrase of song "Shounen Heart" sung by HOME MADE Kazoku

>> Great song, it is!! Should be heard coz the tunes sounds like the words translated there.. Though I didn’t know the meaning, still I can feel it through the song.. :))

UNDO

Friday, March 17th, 2006

Far away, far away, our thoughts are ceaseless
If we can go back to those days
when we laughed innocently together

It broke into pieces
It’s like a work of glass
I’m gathering up pieces of my memory
You realize those important to you
After you lose them

The world without you
is just like a jigsaw puzzle
It’s still eternally missing pieces and incomplete
Because it’s impossible for anyone to replace you

Please, please stop the time
and carve your silhouette onto my chest
If, if it’s allowed, it’s okay even if I sacrificed anything
For that smiling face once more..

By the chain called "reality", we’re connected
Even though we aren’t granted to dream
Nevertheless, we’ll keep on searching
For the light that illuminates darkness

Far away, far away, our thoughts are ceaseless
For those days when we laughed innocently together
Please, please stop the time
and carve your silhouette onto your chest
If, if it’s allowed, it’s okay even if I sacrificed everything
For that smiling face once more..
Once more..

Dream Express

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

As I slided myself into my bed
I stared at the sky from the window
I wish I could go there

Realizing what I have to do tomorrow
I closed my eyes
Plunged into deep sleep
Dream Express is waiting for my ride

Look outside!
Don’t blink your eyes!
Tell Dream Express to…

Run! Run! Run!
It takes me to wonderful places
where everything is doing well
Move! Move! Move!
To where my wished future is
Where I should do something for my own dreams.

I woke up in the morning
Still I remember the journey last night
Where the Dream Express took me out
What the Dream Express showed me

Run! Run! Run!
Show your determination to reach the future!
Bring your courage to break anything stopping you!
Move! Move! Move!
Don’t feel down just because it’s hard!
Just look to the front and reach the light!

Someday somehow
You’ll reach what you see in your Dream Express

-By Andersson Santoso while listening to "Dream Express" sung by FLOW.
    " Just something flowed out of my head while hearing this song, don’t know why I motivated to         write this out of my mind..^^"

Nanka Shiawase (What a Happiness)

Friday, March 10th, 2006

Wake up, get up, check the schedule
Sometimes bring a smile and good feeling

Love or dreams or logic never have the answers
So let’s just walk as if flipping a coin

A kind of happiness, a brief happiness
When it is felt, that’s the start of happiness
Kind of moving. Born for moving
The first step makes everything move again

The news shouts out that the world is dangerous
Sometimes nothing can be done but shed tears

A kind of sigh, a revival sigh
Merely the punchline in which existance rolls
It might be kind of useless, maybe completely useless
A life with unseen effects is not progressing..

Surely, depending upon myself, wonderful things will be assured
I’ll see them in the wind that will come tomorrow

A kind of happiness, a brief happiness
When it is felt, that’s the start of happiness
Kind of moving. Born for moving
The first step makes everything move again

Kaze ga Fuku hi (Windy Day)

Wednesday, March 8th, 2006

Walking along the beautiful blue sea
I realize again and again that
I worry about nothing but meaningless things.

On this day with the warm wind blowing,
yesterday seems terribly blinding..
sadly glimmering..
But..

What can I do to learn to love myself?
If I learn to love myself more and more, then..

The morning I’ve never even seen before..
The song I’ve never even heard before..
The "me" that I’ve never even seen before..
Maybe I can see them..

I line-up self-satisfied words..
Even though, we’re going too fast, it’s OK,
since unforseen feelings have started to overflow my heart like they’re being rushed..
since they’re pushing me up so much..
but..

I’m always different from who I wanted to be..
This isn’t who I wanted to be,
but I am sure it is me.

If you would please reach out and embrace me, oh far sky,
I feel so alive..
I’ll be watched over and protected throughout the world.
Sometimes I think that way, alone.
I’ll be abandoned throughout the world.
Sometimes I feel like that.

What can I do to love myself?
If I learn to love myself more and more, then..

The morning I’ve never even seen before..
The song I’ve never even heard before..
The "me" that I’ve never even seen before..
Maybe I can see them..

Someday surely..
Very soon..
Very soon..
