Kero Kero Bonito - Make Believe Lyrics






I set a watch for 5 o'clock
I think of trees and rivers as I'm drifting off
I pinch my wrist (just to tell where I am)
I get a twinge (seems as real as it can)
But I remain and so I know the rest is up to me

At night, the sunlight beats upon my skin
In here, I see everything
And until the morning comes
I feel it

All my life I tried
To find the time to make believe
But now as certain as the seasons
I know real life will get in between
If I never get to decide my reality
At least I see how it could be
When I get round to sleeping (sleeping), dreaming (dreaming)
Works for me

And though my soul (let's me do what I want)
Is pretty bold (in a place I belong)
From time to time, my grip'll slip
And I just lose control
Then awake I freeze
But nothing in my head can hurt me
However real it seems

All my life I tried
To find the time to make believe
But now as certain as the seasons
I know real life will get in between
If I never get to decide my reality
At least I see how it could be
When I get round to sleeping (sleeping), dreaming (dreaming)
When I get round to sleeping (sleeping), dreaming (dreaming)
Oh

    sei lá KKB me lembra um pouco etsuko yakushimaru

  8. 1.... G....

    It’s either wholesome with this band or there’s a demon behind me breathing heavily as I write/you read this comment as you are in a cold dark room and have mastered silence as you don’t want to alert you parents, you feel the cold breath run down you neck as you look into the screen hoping that you outlast the creature, you are paralyzed as you know it isn’t real, but you fall Into cowardice not willing to take any chances.

  9. C.... O....

    2013: **Why Are You Dancing**
    2014: Babies (Are So Strange), Kero Kero Bonito, **Intro Bonito**

  18. 4.... P....

    This album had pristine alternative rock melodies combined with background synthesizers carrying over the same quirky elements from Bonito Generation. A masterpiece. No other artist or group sounds like them at all.

  19. 8.... ....

    This whole song is really upbeat and nice for how depressing the message is.

  30. b.... h....

    At 3:15, the little 'prrrr?' sound remind me of that sound cats make when you poke them out from their sleep

  32. f.... ....

    I love this song

  33. P.... o....

  34. K.... W....

    makes no sense who accent agrees

  35. n.... ....

    The longer you're in reality, the better the fantasy will be when you sleep.
    Lmao i like it
    Stay positive cause shit will be tight when you fall asleep xD

  38. H.... ....

    Being an adult can drive you crazy

  39. G.... V....

    This band is its own genre, and i’m loving this

  40. Z.... ....

    This song sounds like it came from a Katamari Damacy soundtrack

  41. s.... s....

    I love the Song!!!

  42. S.... R....

    sounds like sumfin fromm KATAMARI DAMACY

  43. T.... N....

    ok I totally have a crush on Sarah she's just too cute

  44. E.... ....

    It's about lucid dreaming right? Awesome music video!

  45. L.... t....

    I love KKB so much. But every time I watch this, I have this incredible discomfort of how they chose to use the menorah... It's a sacred, holy object of HaShem passed down for thousands and thousands of years from the Temple of Jerusalem, the House of G-d and it feels... wrong to see it used like birthday candles. I tried to ignore it, but every time I watch the video (often), it feels... wrong. Do any Jewish people or historians or anyone who knows much about the menorah feel the same way?

  46. C.... ....

    Coolest video ever

  47. A.... H....

    HORRIBLE SONG!!!

  48. J.... P....

    Sweet Trip influence is HEAVY on this one

  49. S.... F....

  51. C.... ....

  52. b.... d....

    my favorite music video ever

  53. B.... ....

    I don't know yet what to make of this album, with or without the context of their last two records. But for now I'm fuckin with it.

  54. B.... ....

    I love you

  55. T.... S....

    I play this song everytime I get out from work.

  56. J.... ....

    2:34 the synths are so pretty and always will be

  57. b.... ....

    "but nothing in my head can hurt me"
    That's not right

  58. S.... Z....

    oh yeah this came out on my birthday t h a n k s

  66. B.... ....

    I <3 Mouse

  67. a.... ....

    flaming lips

  68. M.... ....

    It's like a dream... I want to dream

  69. E.... M....

    this might be the most impressive pop song i have heard, the amount of unique and super catchy hooks coming from left and right constantly is incredible

    E.... M....

    yes u said it perfectly!! this is true pop heaven hooks hooks hooks after many yrs of Morrissey Jay-Z Springsteen and the E Street Band etc I have come to realize my true master will always be the 3 minute all hooks lil verse mid to up tempo sugary pop genre ala Surrender Cheap Trick the Masters of American Pop post Beatles Hungry Like the Wolf etc songs that u might hate but will ALWAYS be in ur head!!

  70. R.... W....

    anyone else gettin' some punk rock vibes from her music, especially with that pink floyd reference in graduation.

  71. T.... C....

    Another day
