 Let's See If That's True or Not
I keep reading the lyrics, and I can't figure it out: let's see if [i]what[/i] is true or not?

hmm, analysis thread for this song, i like it
maybe if he is truly where he belongs, if he has just been living a lie (dunno where it came from, my fingers are typign with a mind of their own as of right now) or maybe just to find out if everything he has been told is true or not (which i got form the second to last line "until there is a world without lies")

 Re: Let's See If That's True or Not
Mega necromancy here, but I kinda want to put the 916 version of this on YT subbed, but I don't want to put the wrong romanized lyrics with the English ones... If noone wants to it's fine, but if anyone could put the romanized Japanese over the English translation per-line it would be much appreciated... Also does anyone know what the hell he says at the end of the song after all the "let's see if that's true or not(s)"?  All I hear is "some buy me." XD

"Stand by me," perhaps.

 Re: Let's See If That's True or Not
Yeah I guess that makes sense...

That's indeed what he's saying.
Also this is one of my favorite pillows songs ever. The lyrics are fantastic.

I try to do it as best I can in the translations I post, but sometimes you just HAVE to switch the order of things or it doesn't make any sense.

Just match it up like the translation has it matched up. As zorahk said, sometimes the order of phrases has to be reversed due to differences in the languages, but people who don't speak Japanese won't know or care, and people who do will know why.

 Re: Let's See If That's True or Not
Yeah, I know a few words in Japanese, and I know vaguely about stuff being reversed so I sorta noticed it... I'll be sure to credit this site/you in the description...  Edit: Finished with the video, tell me if you see any problems... I added a few parts, like at the beginning where I assume he says "busters, tashikame ni yukou." Also when he repeats "dekinai" and "yukou." I hope I got the general English meaning on those right lol... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhYh9fwUqvE&hd=1
