THE NOVEMBERS

・Overview & Author’s personal opinion

I love the swirling bass lines and crazy vocal shouts.

I also like that the lyrics are literary.

There are many rock bands in Japan with literary lyrics, and this is an important factor in making each band unique.

I wish I could listen to more of them.

Here are some spotify playlists and recommended Youtube videos of THE NOVEMBERS and their English lyrics.

こわれる / Broken

I know what the ritual is.

The dogs will catch on quick.

I don't care if it's the end anyway

It's going to start again anyway.

I know what the ritual means

The dogs will catch on soon enough

I don't care if it's the end anyway

It's going to start again anyway

Only life remains, stripped of sensibility

my mind is dominated by the sound of the wings of the bugs that crossed in front of me

Repeat

Understanding

Dominate each other

Only a life stripped of sensibility remains

Only a life stripped of sensibility remains

she lab luck

You always understand first.

I noticed it in a Charlotte Kensbourg movie.

"Why don't you just figure it out?"

And then these cloudy eyes of mine started to dry up.

Why is that?

With a clenched mouth, I'm hoping

And when the door slammed shut in front of me, I realized

"Why don't you just find out?"

And these cloudy eyes of mine went dry

I don't know why.

Till the clock struck

And these cloudy eyes of mine Dried up.

I don't know why

And these cloudy eyes of mine Dried up

I don't know why

"鉄の夢" / (The Iron Dream)

 None of us at this moment has seen the sunrise of tomorrow.

Today the lapdog karma pleads

the real today and the karma that is cutting

Our brothers and sisters feuding on a bed stretched out among the trees

They want to be called a revolution

Parallel movement is ridiculous

The lapdog's karma pleads today

the real today and the karma that is cutting up

I'm going to cut it up

Oh, there's treadmills all over the place, not even a little bit of room to step

"Why don't you pray somewhere else?"

What's the specifics?

Beyond this line.

The bar has been lowered, and it's not even worth it.

And the dreams of catching up have already lost their luster.

The water over there is sweet.

The grass is greener on the other side.

"I don't give a shit about those things."

I'm going to cut it down
