About Akasaka Sad

The song sees Rina discussing feeling displaced from Japan and wondering if this is how her parents felt when they were immigrants in London. It plays into the themes of familial trauma and legacy brought up by Dynasty. She said of the song: “I always hope that Tokyo will make me feel happier but it doesn’t, and the song is about how depression follows you around wherever you go.” .

Akasaka Sad Lyrics

[00:02.56] Hotel corridor, blacked out rear window
[00:09.00] Crawling under my skin
[00:15.69] Flew here to escape, but I feel the same
[00:22.15] Jetlag making me thin
[00:29.08] Sucks to be me (Ay)
[00:30.69] Sucks to be so lonely
[00:32.45] Egyptian sheets (Ay)
[00:33.94] Unraveling slowly
[00:35.84] Don't look at me (Ay)
[00:37.24] Fragile, I bruise easily
[00:39.34] You make me
[00:41.98] Akasaka sad
[00:44.34] 'Cause I'm a sucker, sucker, so I suffer
[00:48.71] Akasaka Sawayama
[00:52.87] Just like my mother
[00:55.42] Akasaka sad
[00:57.42] 'Cause I'm a sucker, sucker, so I suffer
[01:01.94] Akasaka Sawayama
[01:06.06] Just like my father
[01:08.57] Akasaka sad, I guess I'll be sad
[01:12.09] Akasaka sad, I guess I'll be sad
[01:15.28] Forever and ever and ever
[01:18.72] Wherever I go, forever
[01:24.52] Akasaka sad
[01:28.38] 国々に 歩き渡り 鳴り響き 悲劇のシンフォニー
[01:34.58] 喜びに 変わる悲しみ をさぐる毎日
[01:42.00] Twenty-eight and I still want to scream
[01:45.30] Can't face who I can and can't be
[01:48.16] 5,938 miles between you
[01:52.43] You make me
[01:54.86] Akasaka sad
[01:57.12] 'Cause I'm a sucker, sucker, so I suffer
[02:01.65] Akasaka Sawayama (Sawayama)
[02:06.05] Just like my mother
[02:08.28] Akasaka sad
[02:10.37] 'Cause I'm a sucker, sucker, so I suffer
[02:14.76] Akasaka Sawayama
[02:19.17] Just like my father
[02:21.56] Akasaka sad, I guess I'll be sad
[02:24.82] Akasaka sad, I guess I'll be sad
[02:27.91] Forever and ever and ever
[02:31.85] Wherever I go, forever
[02:34.74] Akasaka sa-ad, I guess I'll be sad
[02:37.98] Akasaka sad, I guess I'll be sad
[02:41.15] Forever and ever and ever
[02:44.99] Wherever I go, forever
[02:47.15]
