CIRCUS
The crowd's loud cheers, like a megaphone
Keep it discreet, switch to silent mode (silent mode)
Day after day, day after day, I kept polishing
It’s a historic show, come and do it like this
Bounce, bounce, jump like a super ball
Just don’t care about anything else
Watch closely, it's an invincible stunt
Let’s get it, attendants, elephants, and giraffes
Bring out the fire
Ring, ring, ring, juggling,
We gon' burn this down (Burn this down)
Clown rockstar
Ring, ding, ding, digi-ding,
We gon' run this town (We gon' run this town)
The show starts with a bang bang bang
From morning till night, play play play
Hold the reins, ready
終わらない Round and round and round and round
The show must go on, with the fuse already lit
Focus, stand up, the curtain is rising now
Welcome to the zone
Feelin' good right now, feelin' good right now
As your body starts moving
Feelin' good right now, feelin' good right now
So captivating that you can’t look away
Feels like your heart is being taken away
So welcome to my home
Feelin' good right now, feelin' good right now (Ah yeah)
All, lights out
May I have your attention my ladies and gentlemen
The second act is starting
Ain't nobody can't do it like this
Let's just start with a fresh greeting
Panpalalala
Blow the trumpet now, fire the cannon, pow
Nanananana
On top of the rope, the king passes by
Bring out the fire
Ring, ring, ring, juggling,
We gon' burn this down (Burn this down)
Clown Rockstar
Ring, ding, ding, digi-ding,
We gon' run this down (We gon' run this down)
The show starts with a bang bang bang
From morning till night, play play play
Hold the reins, ready
It never ends, round and round and round and round
The show must go on, with the fuse already lit
Focus, stand up, the curtain is rising now
Welcome to the zone
Feelin' good right now, feelin' good right now
As your body starts moving
Feelin' good right now, feelin' good right now
So captivating that you can’t look away
Feels like your heart is being taken away
So welcome to my home
Feelin' good right now, feelin' good right now
Now, this is what you waiting for, oh yeah
The voices getting intoxicated are rising
Oh oh, nothing to hide
Oh oh, never withering
The party is heating up
No one can stop the encore
Let's go
So captivating that you can’t look away
Feels like your heart is being taken away
So welcome to my home
Feelin' good right now, feelin' good right now
Fairytale
I want to hold you and cry, but it's impossible
I'm seen right through, you pretend not to notice
I just watch you leave, trying my best with a smile
As you grow more distant, I pretend to say, 'I'll be waiting'
But I'm just putting on a brave face, and all that's left is loneliness
Even though it's something in the past, even though I know I can't change it
Staying just like this, being unable to do anything is so frustrating
Even if I understand
The wounds in my heart begin to ache
A beautiful encounter blooms like a flower
A fairytale-like end
It doesn't exist
The truth is, it's already...
This love is full of fairytales
This love is full of fairytales
Just a beautiful moon, yeah
I miss you
Now, I'm coming to see you, even if it's a fleeting dream
I want to give you all of me
With the memories you gave me back then in my heart
I'll always be waiting, just the way I am
You, the most beautiful in the world, I love you, unbearably so
Even knowing it’s not a goodbye, the tears still overflow on nights like this
I feel like it’s already over, like tomorrow will be different
The collected smiles feel like they're disappearing into a sea of tears
All I can do is pretend that nothing has changed
And quietly send you off
(But just don't forget this one thing)
That I will always be waiting for you
The wounds in my heart begin to ache
A beautiful encounter blooms like a flower
A fairytale-like end
It doesn't exist
The truth is, it's already..
This love is full of fairytales
This love is full of fairytales
Just a beautiful moon, yeah
I miss you
Now, I'm coming to see you, even if it's a fleeting dream
I want to give you all of me
With the memories you gave me back then in my heart
I'll always be waiting, just the way I am
VENOM (Japanese ver.)
Spider web (spider web), spider web
Got me got me got me
Without noticing, you got caught again
Even knowing you can't escape, you do it again
Finally, you’re caught in the web
(Criminal) The poison spreads all over my body, causing damage
No escape, I've lost all sensation, can’t feel my fingers
Captured, you got me wrapped up around your fingers
I become captivated by your seductive touch
I want it more I need it more
The poison spreads, I’m hooked on this potion
My caution disappears now
Spider web, spider web, getting tangled
Spider web (spider web), spider web
Got me, got me, got me
Pew pew pew
Yeah spider, you got me locked up, ey
Trapped alive, trap trap trap
Swallowed up, ey
Emergency, sound the siren immediately
You got me like Harley
More than fear, I enjoy your game, silence
Under pressure, feeling tense
Seems like I'm about to be captured, it's serious
To the side, above, behind, surrounded everywhere
I’m being targeted by a spider web, uh
The predator's threat makes my frightened body
Overwhelmed by a dark aura, making me dizzy, ha
No escape, I've lost all sensation, can’t feel my fingers
Captured, you got me wrapped up around your fingers
I become captivated by your seductive touch
I want it more I need it more
The poison spreads, I’m hooked on this potion
All my caution disappears
The hurricane attacks (crash), but I remain unshaken
Why do you rush? (rush), even though I’m bound
I can’t escape, where would I go if I did?
The overwhelming atmosphere surrounds me, a captured prey
The more I struggle, the more tangled in the thread I become
It’s the perfect trap, appearances are deceiving
Loading up the poison, injecting it in
My whole body begins to fill with venom
The spider's thread is wrapped around me
I can’t move, even down to my toes
My body is paralyzed
There’s no escape
Spider web, spider web, getting tangled
Spider web (spider web), spider web
Got me got me got me
Spider web, captured
Spider web, captured
I can't escape now
Got me got me got me
Spider web, captured
Spider web, captured
I have no plans to escape
MANIAC (Japanese ver.)
Everyone tries to play it straight
Forced smiles, not so fresh
If you don't lock it up, they're all the same
Can't tell lies, ho
The true intentions are visible
Stay calm and counterattack
In the blink of an eye, back
Costume quickly ready to return to "normal", ppow
Mash up, mind blown, reason on backup
Prototype, the inside is actually a freaky monster
Out-of-season trends are rotten
I don't even bother with backbiting
Poppin'
If you underestimate us, you'll get badly hurt, yeah, we're rockin'
Mistaking kindness, getting cocky, toxic
You're losing your sanity, warning
MANIAC
Like we're broken, we go crazy, MANIAC
Pin pin! Blown away
MANIAC, walking like Frankenstein
MANIAC MANIAC Haha
MANIAC (Oh)
Like we're broken, we laugh at it MANIAC (You can't stop the smoke)
Pin pin! Blown away (Thick as fog)
MANIAC, breaking common sense, we're so (We're MANIACS)
MANIAC MANIAC
Like a torn rag doll
(ha) In the end, the inside shows
This life isn't easy
It ain't "live" it's "holding on" yeah
Everyone tries to play it straight
Forced smiles, not so fresh
If you don't lock it up, they're all the same
Can't tell lies, ho
Everywhere I go, it's like stepping on landmines
Always about to explode, dormant volcano
Can't see ahead, the direction of the wind changes quickly
Everyone hides like a sealed tornado
Poppin'
If you underestimate us, you'll get badly hurt, yeah, we're rockin'
Mistaking kindness, getting conceited and toxic
You're losing your sanity, warning
MANIAC
Like we're broken we go crazy MANIAC
Pin pin! Blown away
MANIAC, walking like Frankenstein
MANIAC MANIAC Haha
MANIAC (Oh)
Like we're broken, we laugh at it MANIAC (You can't stop the smoke)
Pin pin! Blown away (Thick as fog)
MANIAC, breaking common sense, we're so (We're MANIACS)
MANIAC MANIAC
Overflowing, eyes lunatic
Sharpening the senses
Because we can embrace it all
In the end, the true self will surely appear
On the surface, yeah
MANIAC
MANIAC (MANIAC)
MANIAC
MANIAC MANIAC
You cannot stop with this feeling
MANIAC (Oh)
Like we're broken, we laugh at it, MANIAC (You can't stop the smoke)
Pin pin! Blown away (Thick as fog)
MANIAC, breaking common sense, we're so (We're MANIACS)
MANIAC MANIAC
Silent Cry (Japanese ver.)
Smiling, but I can hear your words
You always say, 'I'm okay,' but I can see
The image of you crying inside your heart
When the light in the quiet room
Goes out, that smile disappears
In a place where no one is
Your sigh remains
I can see the image of you crying inside your heart
Your dry eyes, ey
The oasis of comfort is nowhere to be seen anymore
Wandering, still crying
If that's the case, I will run for you, ooh
Because I can hear your unspoken thoughts
So you don't have to feel lost anymore
From the clumsily closed door of your heart
I can hear your silent cry
The silent cry hidden in your chest
Don't hide it anymore; it's okay to show those tears
Hey, woah woah woah
Even those muttered words you're used to saying, leave them to me
Don't be sad
I'm here for your Silent Cry woah
With your tears
Let them flow, let it go, go, go
When times are tough again
I'll stay by your side because I won't let you go
I know it's hard to always hold back
Sometimes, you can't reach on your own
Forget about faking a smile
'It's okay,' I'm here; I'm here to STAY
Because I can hear your unspoken thoughts
So you don't have to feel lost anymore
From the clumsily closed door of your heart
I can hear your silent cry
The silent cry hidden in your chest
{{Color lyrics|HAN|Don't hide it anymore; it's okay to show those tears
Hey, woah woah woah
Even those muttered words you're used to saying, leave them to me
Don't be sad
If it rains on you
I'll just stay with you
Don't just endure it, because I'll offer you an umbrella
If you can't stop your tears anymore
Overflowing, overflowing, you're already wearing out
The shade falling on the bright you
Don't hide it, give it all to me
Silent Cry
Silent Cry
I can hear your silent cry
The silent cry hidden in your chest
Don't hide it anymore; it's okay to show those tears
Hey, woah woah woah
Even those muttered words you're used to saying, leave them to me
Don't be sad
I'm here for your Silent Cry woah
Sunshine
Seem different from usual
For the first time, I see
Those eyes that make me uneasy
Hey, what are you thinking?
With an expression I've never seen
Even with those eyes I see for the first time
I can still understand
I feel it now
I feel it now now now now now
If I hold onto these feelings
Will they still reach you?
If I've made some mistake
If I can't even read the atmosphere, tell me now, yeah
If it's wrong to be asking you this right now
If you want to see me looking only at your expressions, yeah
If we can't go back to how things were right away, yeah
At least for today, just stay as you are
Tomorrow, with a smile
I want us to laugh together again; I don't need anyone but you, right now
Let's cancel everything and have a special time
Let's go buy all the clothes you like
Turn off our phones and focus more on you
Thinking, "I hope it all goes well," oh oh
What should we eat together?
Order whatever you like
Your face, more relaxed than yesterday
Umm, once again, my heart is stolen
Hey, those eyes that gaze at me
Seem different from usual
For the first time, I see
Those eyes that make me uneasy
Hey, what are you thinking?
With an expression I've never seen
Even with those eyes I see for the first time
I can still understand
I feel it now
I feel it now now now now now
If I hold onto these feelings, will they reach you?
Oh tell me now
Oh tell me now now now now now
The more I gaze into those eyes
The less I can leave
Hey, those eyes that gaze at me
Seem just the same as always
And every time they shine, those eyes make me smile
