01 - New Animal

ANKEETO ja tsune ni joui no
MODERU to onaji kamigata wa shitakunai
tenbin wa ookiku katamuite
furiotosareta keredo utatteru

kizudarake no sukoshi yuganda
SANGARASU wo kakete

furetara nakunarisou na yume wo mite
sore demo te wo nobashitsudzuketeru

nandomo tsumazuiteru uchi ni
hane ga nakutemo tobu ki ni natta no sa
RISUKU wa sukunai hou ga ii tte
kinjo no inu ni iwareta kedo

iiwake wo tsumiagesugicha
nanimo mienai sa

dareka ni naritai wake ja nakute
ima yori jibun wo shinjitai dake
sekai ni oshitsubusareru hi made
iitai koto wo itte yaru nda

shinsain wa jibunjishin no hoka ni
daremo iranai

furetara nakunarisou na yume wo mite
sore demo te wo nobashitsudzuketeru

hitokakera sae mo nokosanai de
kudaketa boku wa kaze ni naru dake
kudaketa boku wa kaze ni naru dake

I don't want to have the same hairstyle
as the models always ranked at the top of those polls
Though the scales were hugely slanted
and I was thrown off, I'm singing

I put on sunglasses covered in nicks and slightly warped

I dream a dream that seems like it'll disappear if I touch it
but even so, I keep reaching out my hands

While stumbling over and over again,
even though I have no wings, I decided to fly
even though I was told by the neighborhood dog
"it's best not to take too many risks"

I've piled up too many excuses and can't see anything

It's not that I want to become somebody else
I just want to believe in myself more than now
I'll say what I want to say
until the day I'm crushed by the world

I don't need any judge other than myself

I dream a dream that seems like it'll disappear if I touch it
but even so, I keep reaching out my hands
Without leaving behind a single speck
This broken me will just become wind
This broken me will just become wind

Come on, let's dance
in an old-fashioned dance hall
wearing a boyscout-ish necktie
I'll give you a bouquet, give me a kiss in return
Fall under the spell of the disco ball

Even though it feels like the floor will shed away
right now you probably feel the same way
there's nothing scary at all

Throughout my life I'm protecting that small secret
I grew up in a town full of nothing but good people
grabbing that antique rifle I got from my grandpa
in one hand, let's slip away tonight

I'll advance forward without getting lost in the darkness
because I truly believe
that there's a path ahead of that

Finger post of magic
There's probably nights so cold that you think you'll freeze
Finger post of magic
During lonely times, let's play here

Vincent Freeman forgot who he was
but I want to turn the page
If I stop, the next page is blank

Finger post of magic
There are probably windy days where you feel like you'll be crushed
Finger post of mmagic
When you want to cry, cry and laugh
Let's meet again
in that old-fashioned dance hall

03 - Mr.Droopy

Dig that groovy! Mr.Droopy.
Can you dig more deeply?
Dig that groovy! Mr.Droopy.
By the way,why is it dug?

Dirt and stones,
both hands are worn.
You greeted a mole sweatily.

He answered like this.
'The ground is too bright'

Dig that groovy! Mr,Droopy.
Was the treasure found from there?
Dig that groovy! Mr.Droopy.
By the way,how long will you dig?

There is no one.
That's the small world.
The mole is your only friend.

He answered like this.
'The ground is too bright.
Stars can be seen at noon
from deep underground.'

That makes New Animal sound 30x more badass since it's pretty much all we've been saying about the pillows and their popularity.

thats what I was hoping for this song was about!

this song came along at the perfect time in my life.

That's SO cool.

Wierd how this and Pork and Beans are similar in meaning and they came out at similar times.

Finally, a song that involved Sawao's shades.

Now I understand his haircut

Yeah the meanings are quite similar, aren't they. P&B is a good song.


But I like New Animal as a whole (the single) more than Pork and Beans. the pillows B-sides always rock SO hard.

Updated with the rest of the lyrics for the single.

Note: not 100% sure on parts of the translation for Finger post. :/ Oh well.

I want to hear Mr.droopy. But I don't want to download the songs. I want to buy the single. I don't have enough money to import from cd japan or how ever that site is called. It costed me atleast 80$ for the wake up album with dvd And the White summer single. That is just way to much for me.

$80? Shit dude, that sucks.

[quote="MyFoot"]That's SO cool.

Wierd how this and Pork and Beans are similar in meaning and they came out at similar times.[/quote]

another interesting similarity is the fact that rivers and sawao are both about the same age.

Midlife crisis for individuality?

I jest...

I've come to love this song. A lot.
