The sun at my back was still set
On a Faction I was used to seeing
Wandering Motion
Like water mixing between gaps in the waves
I was still swaying
The creation of One Verse
A Phrase that was all mine
Was a dream that I saw sometime
Make tonight end!
The dice were thrown
On a Phase I only wish for
Bang! Bang! Rings out
Bury the night
Because I realized I’m into you
Light it up, the Electric flame
The moon’s Masquerade
While barefoot this evening
Shake! Shake!
Shakin’ your heart
Before you end up disappearing
I’m going to catch you
Try, Try, Try to hold on
A Regret I can’t erase
Still burdened with the pain from that day
A Secret I can’t voice
Can’t tell this bluff of a lie anymore
A Mistake on repeat
In a room where a hole opened up
We’re scrabbling for Blame
Nevertheless we smile
so at 4:00AM, After rain
Let’s bring all of it along
Bang! Bang! Echo—
Bury the night
Because that’s proof you were alive
Put it together, Precious mind
A momentary Parade
While staying barefoot tonight
Run! Run!
Run to the sun
I wonder if I could overtake you
I’ll go anywhere!
Take, Take me faraway
Words flowered
And scattered at your feet
I want you not to go
I want you at my side
I’m going to forget about…
Bang! Bang!
Bury the night
Wow
Shake! Shake!
Shakin’ your heart
Wow
Bang! Bang!
Bury the night
Because I realized I’m into you
Light it up, the Electric flame
The moon’s Masquerade
While barefoot this evening
Shake! Shake!
Shakin’ your heart
Before you end up disappearing
I’m going to catch you
Try, Try, Try
Try, Try, Try to hold on

NOTES / INTERPRETATION:
Blue font indicates text originally written in English in the official booklet.
Thoughts. While Show and Saga have co-written lyrics in the past, this was the first ALICE NINE. song in which the lyrics were fully attributed to Saga. What’s particularly interesting is that the lyrics are peppered with English phrases, and that because of that, they feel stylistically similar to the lyrics of songs like F+IX=YOU. And like the aforementioned song, this one’s lyrics are just as poppy, punchy, and cute; very fun to sing along to. While the lyrics point very firmly towards regret, the overall tone of the words and the music are incredibly playful and hopeful. The accompanying music video highlights that even more!
