Akasaka Sad Lyrics
[Intro]
ドアが閉まります
[Verse 1]
Hotel corridor
Blacked out rear window
Crawling under my skin
Flew here to escape
But I feel the same
Jetlag making me thin
[Pre-Chorus]
Sucks to be me (Ayy)
Sucks to be so lonely
Egyptian sheets (Ayy)
Unraveling slowly
Don't look at me (Ayy)
Fragile, I bruise easily
You make me
[Chorus]
Akasaka sad 'cause I'm a
Sucker, sucker, so I suffer
Akasaka Sawayama
Just like my mother
Akasaka sad 'cause I'm a
Sucker, sucker, so I suffer
Akasaka Sawayama
Just like my father
[Post-Chorus]
Akasaka sad, I guess I'll be sad
Akasaka sad, I guess I'll be sad
Forever and ever and ever
Wherever I go, forever
[Interlude]
Akasaka sad
[Verse 2]
国々に 歩き渡り
鳴り響き 悲劇のシンフォニー
喜びに 変わる悲しみ
をさぐる毎日
[Pre-Chorus]
Twenty-eight and I still want to scream (Rrah)
Can't face who I can and can't be
Five thousand, nine hundred thirty-eight miles between you
You make me
[Chorus]
Akasaka sad 'cause I'm a
Sucker, sucker, so I suffer
Akasaka Sawayama (Sawayama)
Just like my mother
Akasaka sad 'cause I'm a
Sucker, sucker, so I suffer
Akasaka Sawayama
Just like my father
[Post-Chorus]
Akasaka sad (Woo), I guess I'll be sad
Akasaka sad, I guess I'll be sad
Forever and ever and ever
Wherever I go, forever
Akasaka sad (Ayy), I guess I'll be sad
Akasaka sad, I guess I'll be sad
Forever and ever and ever
Wherever I go, forever

What have the artists said about the song?
This was one of the songs that I wrote alone. It is personal, but I always try and remove my ego and try to think of the end result, which is the song. There’s no point fighting over whether it’s 100% authentically personal. I think there’s ways to tell stories in songs that is personal, but also ge...
