Lyrics

These lyrics are for the long version of PRIMAL SOUL. The original version of PRIMAL SOUL has no vocals.

One moment you're awake
Suddenly you find part of your mind
Is in the world you thought you left behind
But you were so blind
Primal soul
There's no way you can control it
Now,burning you inside
There's nowhere left for you to hide
Hide from your primal soul
And you know the moment's here
To relinquish control
Nothing can change what you are

 ★Always in you forever - primal soul
   Always in you forever - it's out of your control
   Always in you forever - primal soul
   Always, and forever
   "It's all you have now"

Cry... "free me from this curse"
Fight it while you can
You know in time
It's getting worse and worse
Every moment this is torture in your heart
You know you never want to hurt them
She's walking down the street
She looks so young and innocent
How could you waste her life?
And now you know the truth is
You'll ever be satisfied
Nothing can change what you are

★Repeat

Don't look
Close your eyes
Don't hear
When she cries
Don't feel Any pain
Tears fall
Down like rain

Always in you forever
Always in you forever - primal soul
Always in you forever
Always in you forever - primal soul
Always in you forever - everywhere you go
Always in you forever - primal soul
Always in you forever - everywhere you go
Always in you forever - primal soul
Always in you forever - everywhere you go
Always in you forever - primal soul
Always in you forever - everywhere you go
Always in you forever - primal soul
Always in you forever
Primal soul
Primal soul
Primal soul

Song Production Information

Original Version

Mutsuhiko Izumi

This song is from 2ndMIX LINK KIT2. When I was thinking of a song genre I still hadn't created in the GUITAR FREAKS series, I came up with something. "That's right, Latin rock! Let's create a Santana-like song. Carlos Santana was my favorite guitarist back when I started playing the guitar!" I created this song after thinking that. In drummania, you can play the percussions, such as timbales, congas, and bongos.

Long Version

GUITARFREAKS 3rdMIX & drummania 2ndMIX

Mutsuhiko Izumi

For GUITARFREAKS 4th & drummania 3rd, I included vocals in the long version. It originally had a guitar melody, so although there are many difficult phrases with wide and detailed ranges, Thomas Howard sang them loudly with sorrow and emotion.

GUITARFREAKS 4thMIX & drummania 3rdMIX

Mutsuhiko Izumi

Back when I first played the guitar, I liked Santana's Latin rock and often copied it. I hadn't played this type of song in years, but when I tried playing it after a long time, it felt great and perfectly matched my emotions. Well. After all, it's Latin rock... it's nice. It's the best. Thomas' vocals, which he loudly sang with sorrow and emotion, are also cool.

Video Production Information
