Alone in My Kingdom

(originally written on 7th March 2009)

Once gone and now returned to my reach,
Where roses of all colours bloom,
The night stays young, so does the
moon and stars…

I trace my name on the arm of this chair,
Decorated and cushioned for royalty,
There is no one but me, myself and I…

Alone in my kingdom,
Where I rule and live within,
I defend and fight for me, by me,
Why am I incomplete?
There is no one to wait for me
or to comfort me…

I look up at the ceilings with no one,
Like a prisoner in a beautiful confinement,
I feel no fear nor security…

I collect the remnants of my memories
as I watch the starry skies,
There is no one to dethrone nor follow my throne…

Alone in my own kingdom,
I patch my memories,
Wearing my supreme, solitary crown,
Why am I still crying?
There is no one to receive my tears
or shed tears for me…

Alone in my kingdom,
I wear wonderful clothes,
I eat haute cuisines everyday,
Why am I still unsatisfied?
There is no one to hear my tale
or tell me one…

Alone in my own kingdom,
I watch on my own how the world beyond is,
Where joy and sorrow are for me and me alone,
I am the only one who knows this,
There is one person who would wait for me,
comfort me, cry and hear me…

That person is
me, myself and I…

Dozing Days

(originally written on 6th March 2009)

When you hear the sound
of the birds chirping,
The  sun shining bright,

Lost in my mind’s haze,
Can you hear my voice
getting blurry by the minute?

Still, I cannot run nor hide,
The dozing days are coming for me,
Still, I cannot find the source of my misery,
I’ll sleep quietly…
And when my soul comes out
I’ll be watching over you…

When you see the sight
of the blue skies,
The clouds floating are so white,

Found in my torn heart,
Can you feel my self
disappearing by the seconds?

Stay, stay the way you are,
The dozing days should only come at night,
Stay, while I close my eyes from daylight,
You won’t hear my voice…
And when it’s your turn,
I’ll still watch over you…

Now, before I fade away,
Let me hold your hand one more time,
Now, before my consciousness vanishes,
Hold my frozen heart…
Hold this painful rose
so I could rest…

Wait, just for a little while,
Before my heart shatters into meaningless pieces,
Wait, don’t leave me alone again,
Until my eyes close…
Until the dozing days
catch this painful rose…

I’ll sleep quietly now…
And bloom again someday…

STRENGTH – Abingdon Boys School

Today, I will comment on Abingdon Boys School’s latest single. This single contains two tracks:

01. STRENGTH
02. Freedom

STRENGTH is the latest ending theme for the anime,  Soul Eater. This song has a rather encouraging effect in the melody. If you don’t like rock songs, you might want to reconsider. However, this is not a metal song or whatsoever. It has a meaning behind it and you’d have to read the translation to know. The electric guitar has the main emphasis here other than Takenori’s voice. In this song, you will also hear the addition of the pianofrom the synthesizer. I want a professional keyboard/synthesizer too…

Freedom is the English track of this single. Takenori-san needs to do more work on his pronounciation but grammatically, the lyrics are okay. This song is basically about freedom (as in literally freeing yourself to the outdoors).

Conclusion: Overall, great music. However, if you find T.M.Revolution’s and ABS’s songs repetitive,  this is not for you.

A choker

This is a choker that I have created…

Hahahahaha, yes, I’m not joking. I made it myself. There are other accessories that I’ve made but I’m not in the mood to upload them yet. I’m currently working on a hat.
