Lyrics

BREAK THE BOUNDARIES. MY PHILOSOPHY

THERE I WAS TALKING TO SOME FRIENDS JUST THE OTHER DAY
THEY SAID I BETTER GIVE IT UP & FIND SOME OTHER WAY
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BEAUTY IN THE EXPERIENCE
MY DUTY IS TAKING IT GIVING IT TAKING IT GIVING IT
UP ALL THE WAY TO ITS FRUITION NO MIND POLLUTION
OR CONFUSION, DISILLUSION, WHO CONTROLS THE DISTRIBUTION?
IS IT A THING OF THE PAST? THINK OF THE FUTURE
IS IT A BLAST? SHOULDN'T YOU WONDER? THAT'S THE TRUTH
NOT A BLUNDER, HEAR THE THUNDER?
BREAK THE BOUNDARIES, MY PHILOSOPHY (4X)

"BREAK"

YOU CAN SPEND YOUR WHOLE LIFE BEING LIKE "THE GOOD GUYS"
DOING LIKE YOU SHOULD GUYS (AND YOU KNOW JUST WHAT I MEAN)
YOU PUSHIN' & YOU SHOVIN' AND YOU NEVER GET NO LOVIN'
DON'T STOP MOVIN' WHAT YOU NEED IS A LITTLE LIBERATION
FROM THOSE UPRIGHT UPTIGHT FOOLS IN THEIR SCHOOLS
YOU GOT TO BREAK OUT SHAKE OUT
TAKE THE WOMAN AND YOU MAKE OUT
DON'T STOP LIVING KNOW YOU GOTTA
BREAK THE BOUNDARIES. MY PHILOSOPHY

Song Production Information

Kazuhiro Senoo

First of all, I started creating the orchestra by compiling sounds from funk and cool breakbeats. Along the way, I asked Sakurai to add his guitar, and after developing the orchestra, I went to him again to collaborate, and we were able to complete an arrangement with a feeling I had never done before. I also asked Thomas to do a "complete rap" for the first time, and it turned out to be an interesting song.

Video Production Information

None.
