Released: October 5, 2011

Songwriter: 山下亨 (Yamashita Toru) Takahiro Moriuchi

[Verse 1]
More expectation
Instead of singing in the blue sky
I was like a bird captured in a dungeon cage
Spread my confession
All of the good and bad deeds I have done
There was just too much I lost (There was just to much I lost!)

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Break the cage
Though I'm still bare I'll fly for the new true
When the beat beats my heartbeat

[Chorus]
I know that I am dead still standing
Though my body's shaking sweating like
Wooo (Shaking! Sweating like "Wooo"!)
I can almost taste the hate the rage the mourn the longer
I stare into the eyes of my own
And feel my bloodstream gushing vividly inside (Vividly inside!)

[Verse 2]
Too many questions
The paper thin relationship can be torn with a stroke
Wanna trust no more (Can be torn wanna trust no more!)
Just wanna let you know
Seems like yesterday
When I was a little boy gazing in the sky

[Pre-Chorus 2]
But wake up game is up
I am back for revenge
When the beat beats my heartbeat

[Chorus]
I know that I am dead still standing
Though my body's shaking sweating like
Wooo (Shaking! Sweating like "Wooo"!)
I can almost taste the hate the rage the mourn the longer
I stare into the eyes of my own
And feel my bloodstream gushing vividly inside (Vividly inside!)

[Bridge]
I come to you again
Here I got something new but I can't reach for your touch
You must think you're losing all your mind
Sometimes you're lost, you're lost!
But you will be found

[Chorus]
I know that I am dead still standing (Still standing)
Though my body's shaking sweating like
Wooo (Shaking! Sweating like "Wooo"!)
I can almost taste the hate the rage the mourn the longer
I stare into the eyes of my own
And feel my bloodstream gushing vividly inside (Vividly inside!)
Gushing vividly inside!

ONE OK ROCK is a Japanese band with a punk-rock/hard rock style. As of 2018, the band comprises of Takahiro Moriuchi (vocals), Toru Yamashita (lead guitar), Ryota Kohama (bass), and Tomoya Kanki (drums).

The band’s name, ONE OK ROCK, comes from “one o'clock,” the time that the band used to practice on weekends. They chose this time because the rehearsal space was cheaper at this time. However, since the Japanese language made no distinction between R’s and L’s, they changed “O'CLOCK” to “O'KROCK,” which was then separated to become “OK ROCK”.

The band was formed by Toru when he was in high school. At the time the band was formed (2005), they neither had Taka on vocals nor Tomoya on drums. Both were in other bands at the time, and ONE OK ROCK was born when Toru recruited them into his band.
