Ling Tosite Sigure - Onlooking (Lyrics w/ English Translation)

[@smellyeri]

I used to identify with this song back in the day so much, life was really hard, but I kept looking forward, and moving onwards. Several years later and I'm listening again just to acknowledge how far I've come from those days. To anyone reading this who feels the same way, just keep on living, and I hope one day you'll be able to look back at this period of time with a weird sense of nostalgia.

[@azaeru8914]

Thank you. I needed these words. ❤️

[@fuure01]

thank you, i hope so one day!

[@nokoshinsei]

thank you

[@eligallardo3514]

I don't appreciate Ling Tosite Sigure letting out my life story like this. I feel personally attacked.

[@kittycute_unicorn288]

before i even knew what the song was about or what it meant it still gave me this tightening feeling in my chest i couldnt comprehend. like his voice giving so much emotion making me emotional. this is one of my favorite songs and now seeing the lyrics and meaning gives me even more heart wenching feeling before i even knew what it was about.

[@KATinBLACK]

Listening on repeat is like a cycle. Every day is meaningless, repeating those words over and over until snap. Everything spirals out of control until we're lingering at the edge of the place of no return. But for some reason, we stop just before, collapsing into ugly sobs. But then nothing changes, and the cycle repeats until we either step off that edge or stop repeating

[@dragonballzkai9283]

When I was in 7th grade, I listened to this song frequently due to my depression. 5 years later I find myself back in the same place as I was all that time ago. Will the cycle ever end?

[@shaimashaouashi8662]

i promise you two will get through this.

[@marycoppock8527]

I love how soothing his voice is

[@tatsuyaminrin5102]

So deep and dark in a beautiful way

[@ragnid]

TK is god of emo

[@najat__]

This song is so dark, gloomy, depressed but i can't stop listening. At first, he's singing like a hopeless person. i don't know how to describe, slow-tone maybe? Then, starting 3:26 he's started singing-screaming. Screaming and screaming and screaming. Seems like he already tired with all the pain he'd been through. Btw, 5:13 - 5:26 more like crying for me. 😢 My heart is throbbing. (sorry for my bad english. Still learning.)

[@kuro_o_o]

I know what you mean, this is the most depressing song I've heard. The beginning sounds like a song you'd listen to in a funeral... And then when they scream... And lyrics... Holy shit, depressing as fuck. By the way your English is very good, keep practicing :)

[@inkoinfinity2]

Najat Farhi Ismail Check out a song called "dark enough" and another song called "winter" by bayside.

[@inkoinfinity2]

And a third one called gloomy sunday, but be careful cause gloomy sunday is called the Hungarian suicide song because ppl commit suicide after hearing it.But I heard it and still alive ;)

[@fergieshusband]

It’s 2020 and I’m still listening to this song

[@fergieshusband]

I don’t expect anyone to find this, but if you do I hope you are doing well

[@rerere7]

zac smoot ahahaha hi hope you are doing well too

[@kuro_o_o]

2021, I hope you’re doing great dude.

[@lili123196]

This song is to crazy good to even be real.

[@moominosaurus]

Thank you for both the lyrics and the link to HMV Japan - I prefer the artist to get the profit for my purchases. This is one of the first tracks by LTS that I heard and I only recognised one word from my Japanese lessons. Now it makes sense to me.

[@denusklausen3685]

Please don’t ever disappear I love all of ling tosite sigure and all of you listening to this

[@charlottesmtimescryforherself]

Thanks for the lyrics! Honestly nothing in the world makes me happier than LTS songs' lyrics. It is my fav group💙

[@foxao]

I already tought in this music being sad, but after read lyrics holy...

[@speckofdust31]

This screams pain

[@lucychan5692]

Song of depression

[@herscent]

This song is the best and still my all-time favourite song from LTS.

[@ArcabPrior]

2024 and I’m still here. This song is my life’s soundtrack at this point LOL 😅

[@karinagodinez8416]

Tenía tiempo que los deje de escuchar y hoy volví, y volví a cantar esta canción con mucho sentimiento y no pude evitar llorar, porque ha pasado de todo y ellos siempre me ayudaron a poder sacar mis emociones a flote con su música Son grandes LTS ❤️

[@marylizzy3181]

This song.. I don't get it, it brings out everything you hold in, I can't NOT cry to this.

[@juliealoem]

Thanks for the video. I don't know what he had in mind when writing it but it sure is gut-wrenching :-(.

[@icebear6757]

woah those lyrics..

[@rmslollypop4511]

Still listening to it. It helps me through hard times. Thank you. ぼくはきえたい。

[@zoopazooploopa7723]

The guitar at the end sounds like it's having a mental breakdown.

[@hokutorin6563]

綺麗な歌！

[@enzofalone]

this is so good

[@traditionalystupid3785]

I have Borderline personality disorder and this is the onlything in wich I can relate to on a accurate level and its the onlything that calms me down when im relapsing

[@nervnervnervnervnerv]

sure ya do

[@jsb0079]

Venom dislikes the guitar sound in the end. Because...Venom couldn't resist high frequency sound.

[@ruth-fg3bg]

on 2:38 you can hear him say "char siu" which means bbq pork

[@FishyTheHook]

Sounds like something a bunch of bullies would call someone. Calling them oily, greasy, fat. Fricking twisted if you think of it that way in context of the song.

[@lyeeves9243]

think he says 'i trust you' but i like char siu anyway

[@chunchunmarupapachiru5425]

@@lyeeves9243 lmao yeah the lyrics are "trust you" if I'm not mistaken

[@jaguarosette]

wow this hits a little too close to home

[@noeldoesgames4121]

Came here to see if there were any recent comments considering that this was so long ago, oh wait

[@caroswolf286]

A little, yeah, but it's still an awesome song

[@dizz6619]

I always find myself back to this song

[@marycoppock8527]

I keep coming back too

[@srivalry5362]

love it, id also like to see moment a rhythm

[@SurinderSingh-td3gw]

I love this song so much but I hate myself.

[@carnar10]

ぼくはしにたい.

[@SavyBreci]

Raped the replay button....

[@pigeonwitthetimbs8765]

same

[@christianschaffner1682]

Damn... its good

[@wellivea1]

I would translate the song title as "bystander" as it captures more of the nuance of the word.

[@CristianoRonaldo-ri9eg]

is this th most depressing song of them?

[@rerere7]

Nope, I think the most depressing one is probably moment A rythm (full version), and also Sergio Echigo (Demo 2003)

[@sigure.inspiration]

I think LTS has at least one song that's sad (if not depressing or gloomy), and those songs are usually lengthier than other songs in their album. Here is the list of the songs that evoke dark emotions from every album: 1. Boukan (#4) 2. Sergio Echigo (Feeling your UFO) 3. Yuukei no Kioku (Inspiration is DEAD) 4. Moment a Rhythm (just A moment) 5. Illusion is Mine/ this is is this (still a sigure virgin?) 6. Kimitooku/ Missing Ling (I'mperfect) 7. #5 (#5)
