Lyrics are from the full version of five fathoms.
<pre>I drag the city late at night.
 
<pre>I walk the city late at night.
Does everyone here do the same?
I want to be the things I see,
Give every face and place my name.
I cross the street, take a right,
Pick up the pace, pass a fight.
Did I grow up just to stay home?
I'm not immune - I love this tune.
 
I wanna love more.
I just wanna love more.
 
I drag the city late at night.
It's in my mouth, it's in my hair.
It's in my mouth, it's in my hair.
The people fill the city because
The people fill the city because

There's a river in my head.
There's a river in my head.


The only way out is down.
I wanna love more.
The only way up is down.
There's a river in my head.
I just wanna love more.


The days roll by like thunder
I wanna love more.
Like a storm that's never breaking,
I just wanna love more.
All my time and space compressed
I wanna love more.
In the low pressure of the proceedings,
I just wanna love more.</pre>
And they beat against the sides of my life,
Like fists against the sides of my life,
And the roads all lead behind me,
So I wrap the wheel around me
and I go out.
 
There's a river in my head.
I'll take you home and make it easy.
Love more.</pre>

Maybe many people in Japan still don't know EverythingButTheGirl, but they're a super famous artist worldwide.<br>
EverythingButTheGirl is still unknown to many people in Japan, but worldwide he's a famous artist. This track is based on a loop with few phonetic materials, making an odd but very cool house track. You can see some BEMANI series in the videos, which you might have missed at first glance, so I point it out for you to find them again.
This track uses a basic loop style with few sound materials, and creates strange plugging and unplugging sound effects, which are used as a house-styled technique, and is said to be a cool and stylish track.<br>
This video features games from the BEMANI series, and while it seems like a mismatch at first glance, perhaps that's a cool point as well.

Perhaps you're a bit attracted to this video from its high impact, but if you try to relax and devote yourself to this song, you should be able to feel an indescribable calming and comfortable sensation.<br>
Both dj TAKA and [[Goli Matsumoto|GOLI]] stated these feelings, but you'll understand after listening to it several times, right~?<br>
By the way, what do you all think about somewhat glimpsing into a British amusement center?

Lyrics

I drag the city late at night.
It's in my mouth, it's in my hair.
The people fill the city because
The city fills the people, oh yeah.
I cross the street, avoid the freeze -
A city's warmer by a couple degrees.
The smell of food. The smell of rain.
I'm not immune - I love this tune.

I wanna love more.
There's a river in my head.
I just wanna love more.
There's a river in my head.

I wanna love more.
There's a river in my head.
I just wanna love more.

I wanna love more.
I just wanna love more.
I wanna love more.
I just wanna love more.

Was this music video created as a tie-up with IIDX!? The more I think about it, D.D.R. and beatmania, who everyone knows as similar games to IIDX, show their gameplay and game screens.
Perhaps you're a bit attracted to this video from its high impact, but if you try to relax and devote yourself to this song, you should be able to feel an indescribable calming and comfortable sensation.
Both dj TAKA and GOLI stated these feelings, but you'll understand after listening to it several times, right~?
