Renegades (Japanese Version) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got a fire in my soul
I've lost my faith in this broken system
Got love for my home
But if we cry, is there anyone listening?
We're the forgotten generation
We want an open conversation
Follow me on this road
You know we gotta let go
[Pre-Chorus]
For all of the times that they said it's impossible
They built the hurdles, the walls, and the obstacles
When we're together, you know we're unstoppable now
[Chorus]
I'm not afraid
To tear it down and build it up again (Up again)
It's not our fatе
We could be the rеnegades (Renegades)
I'm here for you, ooh
Are you here for me too?
Let's start again
We could be the renegades (Renegades)
Woah, oh, woah, oh
[Verse 2]
They've been holdin' us down
They've been tellin' us to change our voices
But we're not part of that crowd
We made our bed and we'll make our own choices
We may be underestimated
But I know one day we will make it
Time to say it out loud
We are young and we're proud
[Pre-Chorus]
すり込まれ 塗り重ねられた
嘘は僕らを飲み込んだ
[Chorus]
I'm not afraid
To tear it down and build it up again (Up again)
It's not our fate
We could be the renegades (Renegades)
I'm here for you, ooh
Are you here for me too?
Let's start again
We could be the renegades (Renegades)
Woah, oh, woah, oh
Woah, oh, woah, oh
We could be the renegades
[Bridge]
Take a deep breath, close your eyes and get ready
Take a deep breath, close your eyes and get ready
Take a deep breath, close your eyes and get ready to fly
[Chorus]
I'm not afraid
To tear it down and build it up again (Up again)
It's not our fate
We could be the renegades (Renegades)
I'm here for you, ooh
Are you here for me too?
Let's start again
We could be the renegades (We could be the renegades)
[Post-Chorus]
Woah, oh, woah, oh
(We could be the, we could be the) We could be the renegades
[Outro]
Woah, oh, woah, oh
About
“Renegades” is ONE OK ROCK’s first song of 2021 and is co-written by Ed Sheeran. The song sees the band fight for what they value despite the tinted glasses that they may face and makes their voices get heard by the “broken” political system.
According to a press release, the song also conveys
an urgent message calling into question the current state of affairs across the globe and serves as an anthem for renegades everywhere who refuse to allow their battles and passions to be ignored
The song serves as part of the original soundtrack to the film るろうに剣心 最終章 The Final (Rurouni Kenshin: The Final) which premiered in theatres in Japan on April 23, 2021.
The song was first teased in the trailer for るろうに剣心 最終章 The Final, and the title was later revealed on April 9, 2021. Like many of the band’s releases, “Renegades” has two versions – an international version, and a Japanese version, both with different cover arts.
