I love looking up lyrics as well. There are some that are well-written and really speak out to you.
school food punishment, besides from rocking, has a distinctive way of writing lyrics. I don't think I can describe their style of music as anything other than artistic.
I heard that the singer cried when she was writing this song, and I can definitely see why:
Spoiler for percentage:
If time is limited, the truth is that
I want to hold you so much; I want to tell you everything.
If I keep it a secret, it’ll rotate in an infinite loop.
Even if I’ve dreamed to the point of giddiness, it’s just an illusion that ends inside me alone, after all.
(You won’t die from loneliness.)
With my heart dancing for the eternity of the exchange,
I’m going around in circles. When I think of you, I feel scared, want to do it, want to break it down, get scared, feel pain.
(That’s reality.)
Inside the future you’re looking at, if you look so closely,
You’ll just realize it so well you’ll want to break it down -
That you can’t hold a monopoly.
If time is limited, the truth is that
I want to hold you so much; I want to touch every bit of you.
Just looking from outside the frame, the truth is that
I can’t stand it; I hate that so much, but it can’t be helped.
Watch over you without crossing a single line?
(If you block it off, the pain will soften up.)
Say the keyword and put it to an end?
(You can’t go back anymore.)
If the concept of time disappears, I’d like to continue gazing at you.
That alone would be fine; I need no luxury.
I’m so unafraid that I can see even when the moon is behind the clouds.
It’s okay if it wanes, because it will wax again.
If I may spit out all of my heart, the truth is that
I want to hold you so much; I want to touch every bit of you.
The percentage within you that I occupy is probably going down, I suppose.
Even if it disappears someday, if you’re smiling, that’s enough for me.
Kakenukeru is one of my absolute favorite songs from them, as it has this really uplifting feel:
Spoiler for kakenukeru:
I leave the city that’s being completed, and right now I’m flying to a place where my imagination can’t catch me.
I felt like the winds were changing. I can’t help wanting to dance; come along with me.
The traffic lights change easily. Once I get to them, they turn red.
Shift at one tempo and put out the go sign whenever.
It becomes hectic. I hit my switch, and the sound of the motor puts me online.
On the ocean of news, surfing, surfing; between the buildings, high speed, high speed!
Even if you’re pushed from behind, don’t hurry. Some soda will take us off line.
In the ocean above, jumping, jumping; on the waves of daytime, high speed, high speed!
Throw away any reasons to stop. Forget about tomorrow’s melancholy until today ends.
We’ll go on ahead, worry, and be destroyed. The miracles we can make in that time are overflowing through the world.
It becomes hectic. I hit my switch, and the sound of the motor puts me online.
On the ocean of news, surfing, surfing; between the buildings, high speed, high speed!
If you turn the curve, you’ll see it. As expected, we’re on time.
Going out of the course, swimming, swimming; through the break in the clouds, high speed, high speed!
We’re always in a real pinch,
But it’s always really a chance,
So I want to go for the keyword that’s right there and not let it escape.
I don’t want to be considerate and give it up.
My body is showing a response of rejection. On top of the rails, there’s the goal line.
At my own will, changing, changing; once that’s decided, high speed, high speed!
It becomes hectic. I hit my switch, and the sound of the motor puts me online.
On the ocean of news, surfing, surfing; between the buildings, high speed, high speed!
With the color of the wind changing, today, throw the switch, and brilliantly, it’s show time.
Into the sea of urges, diving, diving; through the clear weather I don’t know,
high speed, high speed!
Supercell is one of my favorite artists as well. They made all of the classic Vocaloid songs and have gone official with their skills, and their singles really touch the heart. There's a lot of emotion as each song tells a bittersweet story with ryo's masterful compositions and nagi's sweet voice heightening the experience. Sayonara Memories is my favorite because it just feels so real.
Spoiler for Sayonara Memories:
The cherry blossoms are blooming
as always, on that same hill road I've grown used to
Ah, this is farewell
Those days on which we cried and laughed
somehow just seem like yesterday
And this path, that's right
It's the path that reaches towards the future
That's how I felt
The news that the cherry blossoms would bloom earlier than usual
made you happy
I laughed
and said, "Isn't that right?"
even though in a very short while we won't be able to return here
These feelings I can't properly put into words
how could I try to tell them to you honestly?
Why don't I convey it
the end with the beginning
The road we took home together one day
is a special memory in my heart
I won't forgot it
SAYONARA MEMORIES
When spring comes,
we'll be on our own separate ways
Wishing for some day when we can meet again
I quietly whispered, "Farewell."
The sky is the same unchanged blue as that day
so it made me cry a little
I intentionally took a detour
even though it was a little longer, because I wanted to be by your side
I joked around,
said "I must have made a mistake."
You laughed, and your face was so radiant that I had to look away
These feelings I can't properly put into words
I held close to my heart and walked this path
I remember it,
that time you
called out my name
The two of us, on the road home in the twilight
I won't forget it
SAYONARA MEMORIES
I'm so glad
that we met
These cherry blossoms in full bloom
that I saw for the first time
How much have things changed
since that time, I wonder?
When I took one look at you, I thought
it seems like I'm falling in love with this person
Why is that, I wonder?
I just don't know
After that time, every day was so
much fun, yet in the same measure
painful
Sorry, somehow I can't say this very well
but see I, with you, how do I put it
with things left the way they are now
I just don't want to say farewell
I don't want to be just friends anymore
I decided I'd say it
I... you...
My feelings for you, always...
always, since a long time ago...
I loved you
Ah, I finally said it...
Sakomoto Maaya's Gravity stands out to me because it has nearly perfect English in it and you can feel the sorrow and loneliness of a person on their journey. This song really reflects Wolf's Rain perfectly.
Gumi's Yowamushi Montblanc really stands out to me as a song that tells the story of a girl that's too afraid to move forward. I love DECO*27 and his songs.
Spoiler for Yowamushi Montblanc:
The thought of all these words
I loved it but it was heavy, is that it?
Who did we love? At that time
It seems it didn't disappear, though I still touched it
If I forget, that reflection will disappear
I don't think the truth is good
I'm still a weak bug
If we discuss this contract,
I will only fall into you once more
The thought of all these words
I loved it but it was heavy, is that it?
Who did we love? At that time
it seems it didn't disappear, though I still touched it
If I lose feeling, that inner voice will burn up
I think the truth is good, it can't be returned
I became scared again
The montblanc has a sweet taste
Barefooted, I want to be drowned in it's sweetness
That's right, you're here, and my choice is fading
I will now no longer tell you.
"It would be better if you died right now."
I don't think the truth is good
I'm still a coward
If we discuss this contract,
I will only fall into you once more
While thinking the truth was good,
"Be a lie," was what I hoped for
The results of my playing fell,
I was still being a coward montblanc
The repition after you entered ends,
That response made me struggle for breath
Megurine Luka's Just Be Friends is also a very popular song that details the breaking up of a relationship. I think the video adds a lot to the meaning of this, and it really hits home for those who have experienced the same situation.
Spoiler for Just Be Friends:
Just be friends All we gotta do
Just be friends It's time to say goodbye
Just be friends All we gotta do
Just be friends Just be friends...
It came to mind in the early morning yesterday
As if I gathered broken pieces of glass
What the heck is this? Drips from my cut finger
Is this what we really hoped for?
I knew it at the bottom of my heart, the hardest choice would be the best
My self-love refuses it and repeats self-contradiction
When can I tell it to you?
In the slowly decaying world, I'm struggling but it's the only way
Carving your faded smiles, I pulled out the plug
I screamed with my hoarse voice, rebound and resonance echo in vain
Nothing is left at the end of the unchained me
Coincidences that sticked us degenerates into the dark and are broken in pieces
"No matter what we do, life is just like that" I mumbled
Somebody's tears flow down the dried cheeks
All we gotta do Just be friends
It's time to say goodbye Just be friends
All we gotta do Just be friends
Just be friends Just be friends...
Yesterday a tranquil night made me realize
It'd be useless to pick up fallen petals
Because it'd never bloom again
It's tiny but already dead on my palm
Our time stopped long ago
I remember the season we met first and your graceful smile
Bringing up old issues, we hurt each other as badly as possible
Our minds are full of thorns
With this continuous dull relationship
Grievously I can't change my mind
I still love you, I don't wanna be apart from you, but I have to tell you
It's raining heavily in my mind, I'm stunned, I'm standing dead, my vision is blurry
Despite my determination, the pain is still penetrating
The bond between us has come apart and is dying away in everyday
Goodbye, my sweetheart, it's over
We have to leave without turning back
Just once, just once, if I could have my wish to come true
I'd be born again and again and go see you on those days
I screamed with my hoarse voice, rebound and resonance echo in vain
Nothing is left at the end of the unchained me
The bond between us has come apart and is dying away in everyday
Goodbye, my sweetheart, it's over
We have to leave without turning back
It's all over
Madoka's ending Magia, apart from sounding freaking awesome, has some really powerful lyrics.
Spoiler for Magia:
Someday, the light of love that you set aflame in your eyes
Will transcend time
And surely destroy one dream
Of this world that hurries to its ruin.
Swallow down your hesitation.
What is it that you wish for?
On the path of yearning as greedy as this,
Will there be a transient tomorrow?
With power that can break through the darkness,
Something like the ancient magic
That I dreamed of when I was young,
I want to meet you and your smile.
What I hold in these frightened hands of mine
Is courage made of handpicked flowers.
My feelings alone are all that I rely upon,
A wish that will awaken
The light.
Someday, you will also wish for great power
For the sake of someone else, I suppose.
In the night when love captured your heart,
Yet unknown words are born.
If I can go on without losing my way,
I don’t mind if my heart is broken to pieces.
I want a spell
That can let me fight against
The sorrow that is always in front of my eyes.
You are a memory that continues to dream.
I am the sleepless tomorrow.
I will move forward in order to attain
The miracle of the two of us meeting.
What I hold in these frightened hands of mine
Is a sword of handpicked flowers.
My feelings alone are all that live,
A wish that I brandish
Within my heart.
When I used to like books about strange lands
Illuminated by captive suns,
I believed the fairy tales that
Taught us that wishes would surely
Come true. (Among the light and shadow…)
Gently, magic from ancient times
Bloomed wildly in silence.
“The power to change the world
Lies in those hands of yours,” it whispers.
Let us have an unending dream.
During this time I go through with you,
My feelings alone are all that live.
What will create life is
This wish.
