Well, yes.. again, I was sort of just.. stating an example of somewhat nonsensical lyrics.. there. :p

We began to shine. Someone can stop us, right?
We began to flap. Someone had the right to stop them, right?
It's on my lips.
It's in my dreams.
It's a story told by two.
You say you want to be happy.
You've already been so many times.
What do you want?
What's lacking?
Where will you turn?
Even if you ask,
I won't have the answer.
