truth

Music: Rika Arai (新井理生)
Words: Shoko Fujibayashi (藤林聖子)
Arranged: Akihiko Hirama (平間あきひこ)
Vocal: Luka Yumi (裕未瑠華)
Track 35 of The Eve of the Absolute Evolution Revolution and track 28 of Advent of Nirvanic Beauty ~Androgynous Me~ are the full length version of this song.
Track 27 of Virtual Star Embryology is the TV version of this song.
Because there's only the bolded line's difference between these versions, the full length and TV versions are side by side.


truth (TV Size)
Translation from Nozomi
        DVD Release (2011)
Missing truth and forever,
kissing love and true your heart.
Hold me right with your arms so true.
The key to unlock tomorrow is reality.
I want to keep smashing lies apart.
No matter how much the two of us may talk
you still just can't see anything.
---
--- 
Excuses are fitting for adults who
just cling to old stories.
The angels who weren't chosen
   don't need wings to fly!
Missing truth and forever,
kissing love and true your heart.
I like who I'll be tomorrow
I'll believe in myself because I want to believe.
I want to be hated by lies.

Translation from Central Park Media
        DVD Release (2005)
Missing truth and forever,
kissing love and true your heart.
Hold me tight with your arms so true.
The key to unlock tomorrow is reality.
I want to keep on smashing lies apart.
No matter how much the two of us may talk
you still just can't see anything.

Excuses are fitting for adults
who just cling to old stories.
The angels who were passed over
   don't need wings to fly!
Missing truth and forever,
kissing love and true your heart.
I like who I'll be tomorrow and
I'll believe in myself because I want to believe.
I want to keep on hating lies.

Truth (TV Size)
Translation by Robert Paige &
        Utena Translation Project (1998)
Missing truth and forever
Kissing love and true your heart
Embrace me with your true arms
The key to open up tomorrow is reality
I want to keep on destroying lies.
Even if we keep on talking,
you still won't ever see.
---
--- 
Excuses really suit adults
who hang on to old stories.
Because unchosen angels have no
    need for wings.
Missing truth and forever,
Kissing love and true your heart,
I will like tomorrow's new me.
At least I believe so; I want to believe it,
so I want to keep lies hating me.

Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & true your heart
Hold me in your arms so true
Reality is the key to tomorrow
I want to keep destroying lies
Although we've said this much,
you still can't see

Excuses are suited to grown-ups
Who still cling to fairy tales
Unchosen angels even have no
   need for wings
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & true your heart
I believe that I'll love myself tomorrow
And because I want to believe,
I want to be hated by lies

Truth
Translation from Pioneer/Geneon
        Album Release (2004)

Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & your true heart
Embrace me with your arms of truth
A key to open tomorrow is reality
I want to keep destroying lies...
I can't see anything in you
Even if we keep on talking
The annoying boy who wants to know me,
but I just want him to misunderstand me
Excuses are suited for grown-ups
who cling on to a story from the past
Wings are not needed for those angels who didn't
   become chosen ones
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & your true heart
I believe in liking tomorrow's self because
I want to believe
I want to be hated by the lies...
Make that a memory
Keep it warm and alone
You can't see a red fruit that I want
Don't notice a sigh
It'll be too late for crying tomorrow
I'm even longing for a slight fever that brings the
   gusty windy night
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & your true heart
Just like a midnight child
I stop crying and keep knocking
On a door to look for love...

Missing truth & forever 
Kissing love & true your heart 
Embrace me with your arms so true 
The key to open up tomorrow is reality. 
I want to keep destroying lies...
As long as all we're doing is talking, 
you won't ever see anything at all. 
The guy I want to know is annoying, 
he wants me to misunderstand him.
Excuses really suit adults 
who hang on to old stories. 
Unchosen angels 
have no need for wings.
Missing truth & forever 
Kissing love & true your heart 
I'll like the me of tomorrow. 
At least I believe so; I want to believe so, so 
I want to keep lies hating me.
You warm yourself 
with such memories 
The red fruit that I want is invisible to you 
Don't notice my sighs. 
You'll cry tomorrow, but it'll be too late 
Even the slight fever that chooses a gusty night 
would be so lovely
Missing truth & forever 
Kissing love & true your heart 
Like a child in the middle of the night 
Seeking love to hold back tears 
You keep knocking at the door

Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & true your heart
Hold me in your arms so true
Reality is the key to tomorrow
I want to keep destroying lies
Although we've said this much
I can't see anything from your side
Bothering me, he wants to understand
But I want to be misunderstood by him
Excuses are suited to grown-ups
Who still cling to fairy tales
Unchosen angels even have no
   need for wings
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & true your heart
I believe that I'll love myself tomorrow
And because I want to believe,
I want to be hated by lies
Thinking of it
Makes me warm when I'm alone
You can't see the red fruit I desire
Don't get hurt by sighs
Tears only slow tomorrow down
Even a slight fever on a windy night is dear to me
 
Missing truth & forever
Kissing love & true your heart
Like a child in the middle of the night
I'll stop my tears and search for love
I'll keep pounding on that door
