Lyrics - Key Ring

[Mystical Sand]

Really love this song, so I got the lyrics done in one go. :) Which means it's potentially riddled with errors, but I checked it three times against the song and it looks/sounds right, so hopefully I caught everything.

Quite a few notes this time, since there were a lot of kanji with katakana over them. As usual, please don't redistribute these, and [katakana] is in brackets.

Oh yes, and fun fact! Yuri helped Motsu write the lyrics to this one, according to the liner notes. :)

Enjoy~!

Key Ring

[doa] no mukou [kimi] no hikari e ano heya e to tsudzuku hikari e
hora chiisana koto mo futari de warai atteta kaisou [shin]
kono kagi mawasou kotoba kawasou kioku no [kakera]¹tachi to
sabi tsuite shimatta tobira no mukou now let me go

mune ni hibiiteita koe wa ano hi sugi satta [sain]²
kokoro wo iyasu suzu no ne wa yureru kagi no [merodii]³

zutto mayotteta kotae wa nakute
sotto nobashita kono te wo toki ga kasumu mae ni

tozasareta tobira giniro no kakera⁴
hikari sasu sukima te ni shita kagi
sabitsuita [doa] mo usureta kioku mo
subete tokihanatsu ima
Just livin' in love, just livin' a life

sou kakushin motenai deita hajimari wa joudan meita
gogatsu⁵ no ame no you na aimai de [shai] na koi deshita
teokure na hodo suki da to kigatsuita hitotsuki ato
kono mado yume no ato lonesome dream...

tsuki no hikari abite ukabu aoku utsuro na kodou
kasaneta jikan no kaori wa yaketa michi to onaji
(Key Ring yureru senritsu)

soshite kokoro wo michibiku yokaze
(Key Ring hikaru shunkan)
futari te to te wo kasaneta yume no ato wo nazoru
(isshun kasunda genjitsu)

tozasareta tobira giniro no kakera⁶
hikari sasu sukima te ni shita kagi
fumidasu tsuyosamo furimuku yowasamo
[ringu] ni tabanete sou
Just livin' in love, just livin' a life

kono te kara kobore ochita mono mitsukerarenai yoru
noboru hi yo douka terashite... michi wo

murasaki no [setsuna] omokage yurara nemurenai madobe ni
yureru kagi no kono [merodii] tadoreba

[doa] no mukou [kimi] no hikari e [kimi] wo miteru my eyes
kagi ni takushita omoi wa ima yoru ni hashiridasu flash light...

[doa] no mukou [kimi] no hikari e [kimi] wo miteru my eyes
kagi ni takushita omoi wa ima yoru ni hashiridasu light

tozasareta tobira giniro no kakera⁷
hikari sasu sukima te ni shita kagi
sabitsuita [doa] mo usureta kioku mo
subete tokihanatsu ima
Just livin' in love, just livin' a life

Thanks so much for the lyrics *o*

[Mystical Sand]

No problem; thanks for the 'thanks'! ^^V

[Stealth]

this was a great song, so happy this was added on the cd. and thanks for the lyrics...maybe i'll try singing along haha

[Mystical Sand]

Yeah, I liked it as soon as I heard it, so I decided to get the lyrics down ASAP. No problem; and practicing for karaoke's mostly what these are for, I think; hehe. ;P

This is the newest move song and the only new one from mega best, isn't it? I struggled to like it. It's moody and dramatic in a way that move has not been since Deep Calm, but it's nothing like Deep Calm either. Deep Calm immersed us in a richly layered, muscular, gothic sound. Key Ring is relatively spare (for move anyway) and often unsettling. It often ends phrases in harmonic and rhythmic question marks. The chorus hits hard, recalling old melodic patterns circa Worlds of the Mind filtered through the hard guitar of Deep Calm and Boulder. But it's not winningly melodic. Funky and inverting, it keeps us up in the air until we're throttled down to earth with the hook "just livin in love, just livin a life". The bridge wanders through a slightly atonal jazz motif and a tense, clipped rap before finding its way back to the chorus.

There are some good musical ideas in here, but the music as a whole is unsettling. But it's new, and a new move album can't be beat!

Can i put it on my website ? No one else can copy from it !

[Mystical Sand]

spike21, thanks for asking. I suppose you can put it on your website, but please credit me if you do so! Someday I'm planning on making my own website for them, especially now that Joseph's seems to have gone out of commission, so...

[spike21]

I ask because i didn't found them in an other site and i spend few hours searching them... haha.
When things come from somewhere i don't have free access, i like to ask before take.

[Mystical Sand]

Well, it's always good to ask anyway. Some people don't like it when people copy and paste their stuff without permission (myself included), so... It takes me a significant amount of time to look up all the kanji and everything since the print in the lyric books is so tiny!

[spike21]

Can you give the kanji version ?

[Mystical Sand]

I have it, but I can't post it on the World of Move because the site doesn't support kanji...

[spike21]

Oh...
The board is installed by the webhost ?
Maybe i can create a part for that on my board ?
Something called "world of m.o.v.e kanji topic" ! haha
