L'Arc~en~Ciel: Perfect Blue

01.04.30
Artist: L'Arc~en~Ciel
Title: Perfect Blue
Words: Tetsu
Music: Tetsu

The glistening sun is taking my heart away
to the perfect blue sky.

but hey who are you to run away with my freedom
all across this town?

Underneath that dull smile, you don't know what you've done
Can't you understand me even if you've never been in my place?

Making money with made-up stories,
it makes me feel sick to my stomach.

Like a Sunday driver
rushing insanely through a completely red light.

Underneath that dull smile, you don't know what you've done
Can't you understand me even if you've never been in my place?

All I can do is give you the finger.

Underneath that dull smile, you don't know what you've done
Can't you understand me even if you've never been in my place?

I felt just like I was bitten by the dog I kept.
When I noticed all eyes were on me, NO NO NO This isn't a zoo!

I'll run off far away, I'll escape to a southern island.

Translator's Notes: This song must be about fans who make up things about Larc~en~ciel, either for unofficial books or to spread rumors that get leaked to the media. I think Tetsu wrote this feeling boxed in by whatever media frenzy ensued from the "made-up" stories, that's why he blames "you" for stealing his freedom and running all over town with it. Tetsu is feeling betrayed in this song, and thus is asking the fans to try and undertsnad how he feels. I think the line "bit by the dog I kept" is a little harsh... this all must refer to one incident in particular, because whatever happened became a big scandal. I guess that's about it.
