Core Pride

Vocals: UVERworld

Lyrics: TAKUYA∞

Composition: TAKUYA∞ & Akira

Arrangement: UVERworld & Satoru Hiraide

Born in this world, each enjoying his own life,

Discovering the black box in their minds… is that bliss?

So, we’ll go beyond all the limit lines.

Let’s go. Today is the day when we should step forward.

But what are we supposed to do with our days?

Trying to live them perfectly is a no-no.

Stop and find out where the flow is.

Let’s go without hesitation! Here we go!

If you are restraining your feelings

For something unreachable or limited,

You’re just the same as those adults who tried

To suppress you, blindly, without understanding.

Even if it’s a pipe dream that can’t possibly come true,

No one can extinguish the burning fire in your heart.

Even if the black rain falling from the sky continues to drench me,

I still won’t let this fire go out – that is my “pride”.

It started pouring, as predicted.

But I didn’t expect so many friends to gather.

While talking about one another’s days and futures,

We became impassioned and started fighting.

Thinking back to how we were always fighting at fifteen,

Trying to escape the uncertainty we felt,

You laughed and said, “You haven’t changed a bit…”

And so, I too, began laughing as well.

If we don’t stubbornly stand our ground here and now,

Even the passing of time will become frightening.

The one whom I should hit is really my prideful self,

But still, I don’t wanna lose right now –

I have “pride” not to lose to myself.

Stop and find out where the flow is.

Let’s go without hesitation! Here we go!

Stop and find out where the flow is.

Let’s go without hesitation! Here we go!

No matter what we do when we’re alone at night,

We become incapable of understanding ourselves.

When we’re together, each trying to comprehend the other,

We can become stronger.

I don’t care what happens, I don’t care if I’ll look uncool;

This mortal being will change the future.

Even if people say I can’t change my fate in spite of my efforts,

I can change, and I’ll prove to you that I can change.

That is “the pride” that we all have in our own space…

Do not extinguish yet, the fire in your heart.

I don’t wanna forget this passion yet.

Do not extinguish yet, the fire in your heart.

We’ve still got so far, so far to go!

Oh baby, my pride!
