LISTEN ON SOUNDCLOUD: https://soundcloud.com/mint00-1/ia-english-c-i-thought-i-was-an-angel-cevio-cover Original song by Utsu-P: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvUJbhxUKT8 Translyrics based on Tora Sphere's translation, S!N's(?) translation, and Vigdiss-P's own translyrics So I'm kind of in love with this song, and I'm also in love with IA's English bank. Like, seriously. CeVIO is SO fun to use. I'm officially back on my usual nonsense. --- LYRICS: Once upon a time, I thought I was an angel like everybody else My skin, my eyes, my halo were the same as everyone else Never had anything I was good at Couldn’t do anything that I should have Once upon a time, I thought I was an angel like everybody else No one taught me how to sing those hymns, but I sang them anyway No one showed me how to use my wings, but I could fly Never thought anything of the distance that would set me apart from the others ‘Cause I still thought that I was an angel like everybody else And they always cheered me on And they always pushed me on I was always taught to understand ten things from one But I can’t No, I can’t Everyone’s so far away Getting farther every day Ah… I couldn’t see it for so long It’s not like I want to do glorious things I just wanted to fit in, standing tall and proud with them Ah… I know it’s such a simple wish BUT I CAN’T When angels grow up, they exchange their school uniforms for suits and ties No one tells them how or why; it’s just what they know to do But I can’t live the way I’m supposed to And I can’t work the way that I need to Somehow, I couldn’t do anything like the others could Is it something wrong with God’s design? Dunno what he could have dropped this time? Everyone screamed at me to understand ten things from one But I can’t No, I can’t Everyone’s so far away Getting farther every day Ah… I couldn’t see it for so long It’s not like I want to see beautiful things Just a show on Sunday night’s all I need to feel all right Ah… I know it’s such a simple wish BUT I CAN’T (No… No… No…) What if one day You couldn’t fly or sing at all Even though you know your brain knows how Your arms and legs just weigh you down Could you imagine? So I try to fly, but my wings deny and scatter dust around me I don’t know if I am an angel or just some pathetic insect But my heart, it beats, it keeps beating on, without my permission I’m hungry, I’m greedy, I need money, I need money I just… Want to live… Want to live… But I can’t No, I can’t Everyone’s so far away Getting farther every day Ah… I couldn’t see it for so long I don’t need my life to be anything special Let me work and have some fun Let me feel the warmth of love Ah… I know it’s such a simple wish BUT I CAN’T Once upon a time, I thought that I could live like everybody else.
