Nujabes - Luv(sic) Grand Finale Lyrics






I met a metaphorical girl in a metaphysical world
Now you got me day dreaming, sleeping in a curl
Her name on my tongue, a fresh flavor, yup
Whenever she popped up, put a swirl on my cone
I used to rap like I had some marbles in my mouth
But the stones turned precious when they all came out
On a string of deep thought that could never be bought
Body rock don't stop, be bop to hip hop
Cold as ice so I stared as it thawed to the floor
What was left a shoestring budget on call
Then these new styles came along
Some on to the next on some other hit, their own trip
Colors faded on airbrushed centerfolds, dated
Make you feel old and jaded
The point was to make it and we made it but
We didn't know how to keep it
Like nice kicks. that wouldn't fit
Only way was to box it up and duct tape it up
Store it underneath the bed and open it up
Once in a blue moon
Think about a cool ending
To a story that ended too soon
Gotta bring back the feeling
I'll do anything not to be stuck on fiending
A pen can be sharper than a scalpel to a patient
To an open heart, it's a daily operation

After six come seven and eight
Access code to the pearly gates
They say heaven can wait
And you speak of fate
A finale to a play for my mate
I see the angels draw the drapes
Over the earthscape
Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
Gotta finish what we started, so I cut the tape
As our records will stay on rotate

You say a circle is a flawless shape
Every part equi-distance from the center
On the arc without a start or a finish
A line on a loop carries weight
A freight train runs unabated
Views vanish from my point vantage
Passages come in and out
The way I recall your antics (how I remember your antics)
Still alive 'cause I said it
A life of its own unless we dead it
Till they see our name in credits
A labor of love you mean slavery
Surely, it's been quite savory
Crepe on the balcony, verbal alchemy
Pure magic when she touches me
I read that love is kind but it's also blind of any style
You profess, would you be my guest (you could be my guest)
Happiness is a hot potato that you can't possess for long
Just pass it on like asong
And I might look calm and collected at a glance
But I taste the void when I'm not connected
To the world kinetic, as opposed to static
Idle hands a workshop of a digital addict (a modern-day addict)
On a hot streak for inspiration is key to feed
The mind in need of stimulation
Elevator music to the space station
Penthouse of stars a-blazing

After six come seven and eight
Access code to the pearly gates
They say heaven can wait
And you speak of fate
A finale to a play for my mate
I see the angels draw the drapes
Over the earthscape
Where the wine is the spirit of grapes
Gotta finish what we started, so I cut this tape
As our records will stay on rotate

    Luv(sic) Grand Finale

    形の無い世界で比喩のような女の子に出会った
    そのせいで空想をして、丸くなって寝ているんだ
    彼女の名前が舌に乗れば、新鮮な味、そう
    彼女が現ると、僕のコーンが渦巻くんだ
    僕は口にビー玉が詰まったようにラップをしていた
    でも石ころが宝石となって出て来たんだ
    深い思考の糸に繋がって、決して買えないもの
    ボディロックを、止めるな、ビバップからヒップホップ
    氷のように冷たく、床で溶けるのを見ていた
    残ったのは僅かな予算と連絡待ち
    新しいスタイル達がやって来て
    次のヒットを求めて、彼らはトリップしに行った
    エアブラシされた写真集は色褪せて、古く
    年を感じて、何も感じなくなる
    成功と言う目的地は辿り着いたけれど
    どうやって守るかを知らなかった
    足に合わない新しいスニーカーのように
    箱に入れてガムテープをするしかなかった
    ベッドの下にしまっておいて、たまに開けるんだ
    クールなエンディングを考えながら
    終わりが早過ぎたストーリーのために
    あのフィーリングを思い起こすんだ
    飢えているだけは絶対に嫌だから
    ペンは患者へのメスよりも鋭い
    開いた胸には毎日がオペなんだ

    6の後には7と8
    真珠のゲートの暗証番号
    天国は待ってくれるって言う
    君は運命だと
    劇のフィナーレ、友のために
    天使が幕を下ろすのが見える
    この地形へ
    ワインは葡萄のスピリット
    始めた事を終わらせよう、テープを切る
    僕たちのレコードは回り続ける

    君は円は完璧な形だと言う
    全ての点は中心から同じ距離で
    弧の上で、始点も終点もなく
    ループになった線は荷を運ぶ
    貨物車は衰えず走る
    見晴らしの良い景色の消失点
    君の仕草のように、詩が浮かんでは薄れる
    まだ生きているのは、口にしたから
    僕たちが絶つまでは宿る命
    名前がエンドロールで流れるまで
    愛の労働って奴隷のことなのか
    確かにかなり風味のある
    クレープをバルコニーで、言葉の錬金術
    彼女が触れると純粋な魔術
    僕が読んだのは、愛は優しく、
    君が公言するスタイルにも盲目で
    ゲストになってくれるかい
    幸せは持ち続けるのが難しいホットポテト
    曲みたいに隣の人と分ければ良い
    僕は表向きは落ち着いていても
    虚無を味わっている、繋がっていない時
    運動している世界と、静止とは逆の
    遊んでいる手はデジタル中毒の餌食
    インスピレーションの連勝記録は
    刺激を必要としている心のために
    宇宙ステーションへのエレベーター音楽
    スター達が燃えるペントハウスへ

    6の後には7と8
    真珠のゲートの暗証番号
    天国は待ってくれるって言う
    君は運命だと
    劇のフィナーレ、友のために
    天使が幕を下ろすのが見える
    この地形へ
    ワインは葡萄のスピリット
    始めた事を終わらせよう、テープを切る
    僕たちのレコードは回り続ける

  5. d.... ....

    Rest in Peace Nujabes...

  6. S.... M....

    Nujabes your music 🎶still carry on you're my inspiration

  7. W.... ....

    I love this man

  8. E.... G....

    I know the original sample Ivan Lins- Choro Das Aguas

  9. K.... T....

    This makes me think of the last moments of a play, where the actors come on stage and bow for you

    K.... T....

    Very good description

  10. F.... W....

    The sample in lo-fi was taken from "Choro das Águas" (1977) by Brazilian composer and singer Ivan Lins.

  11. i.... ....

    This song makes me feel a certain way

  12. G.... G....

    I have the anime Samurai Champloo to thank for making me curious about this beautiful music.... Rest in peace Nujabes

  13. K.... ....

    still not sure what put a swirl on my cone means...

    K.... ....

    It means if he was just a regular cone the swirl adds appeal factor to him. It just means he found someone compatible. It's also could literally be sexual lmao

  14. S.... ....

    How far do we have to stretch the picture

    before pixelating the human texture?

  15. A.... ....

    im not crying

    youre crying

  16. P.... A....

    everytime i hear the intro to this record, I get a flow of emotions going through me. So beautiful.

  17. M.... ....

    we lost a lot by him passing away, we wouldve lost everything if he was never here

  18. T.... ....

    The Grand Finale <3...........

  19. K.... M....

    Crazy to think this beat just happened to be left on his phone before he died. Sometimes the universe can be quite ‘romantic’.

  20. J.... A....

    "they say heaven can wait
    and you speak of fate
    a finale to a play for my mate"

  21. S.... N....

    I'm not a big fan of hip hop/rap expect some chill hop/lofi instrumental hip hop but this is one is actually really nice.

  22. J.... L....

    This beat is unreal. Nujabes has something that no other artist/beatmaker has.

  23. J.... B....

    nujabes the sensei

  24. C.... R....

    OBRIGADO NUJABES....

  25. B.... B....

    Everything about this is eerie to me, as if this was really made by Jun telling us that it was his time. Obviously Shing02 and the rest of the crew added the lyrics, but the instrumentals that Nujabes left behind sound heavenly and the art looks like what many people would dream heaven would look like.


    Taking out the lyrics, I get the message that he's doing very well in the afterlife and he's in the beginning stages of feeling what heaven has to offer. I'm not good at explaining music, but it sounds like a minor note (?) is inserted there to make Jun's departure bittersweet. He understands that his passing will cause lots of sadness, but at the same time, his artwork must be exposed to both life and afterlife. I mean, look at the bloom of hip-hop instrumentals. The dude changed the game for us.


    To me, the instrumentals give off a perfect representation of his farewell. I can imagine him standing by the pearly gates, knowing he's gonna make some killer beats. We won't forget the gift you left behind, Jun.

  26. F.... D....

    🔥🔥🔥🔥

  27. D.... J....

    is this heaven sounds like?

  28. T.... G....

    If you want to hear a brazilian paraphrase of this instrumental, check out Tatiana Parra's track! https://youtu.be/893F0C8Z-wE

    T.... G....

    Timothy Gondola that was lovely! Thanks for sharing :)

  29. J.... P....

    It's sad this doesn't have an official release I can find. I'd love to listen to the most high definition version of this.

  44. a.... j....

    song released when i was in the fourth grade, i really wish i found out about it earlier it would have been very helpful to me in those times. nujabes as a whole really. thinking about things like this gets me thinking deep in my feelings all the damn time. good night morning or day to anyone who reads this for some reason. edit for spelling error

  54. T.... G....

    This song is incredible...

  55. M.... G....

    You've made worth not when you've brought everyone in, but when you've made them something new and different. Down at your prime Nujabes, you still have me coming back as if today was the day your music was released.

  59. R.... W....

    Sampling from Choro das Águas

  60. T.... S....

    Only song to make me cry aesthetics

  61. K.... P....

    Nujabes will always hold a special place in my heart. When I was going through some depression I found Luv sic pt 3 and started looking into jazzhop, lofi, hip hop and such. Now the only thing that can keep me from going back into depression sometimes is Listening to Nujabes, Shing02, Substantial and cuddling with my cat :)

  62. S.... S....

    I found out they found this beat on his phone and released it a day after his death rest up man

  63. F.... P....

    this is another level dude...

  64. A.... B....

    I don't know why but this reminds me of interview with the vampire

  65. G.... f....

    REST IN PEACE SEBA JUN

    Your music will forever put me at peace. This song in particular had gotten me through the hardest time in my life when I was in the hospital for two weeks for some crucial shit, wires, IVs and pure medications. this always brightened up my day.

  66. S.... J....

    that opening and closing hits me hard. tears come to my eyes as I hear it, an my heart beats along with the rythm of this masterpiece

  67. A.... B....

    This song spoils me for some reason, not only that but reminds me of Japan and anime

  68. I.... ....

    Just graduated Navy bootcamp my mom and dad came to my graduation and spent two days with me now I'm leaving to my "A" school. Feels like I just got to see them now I have to leave again. Immediately went to Nujabes and Shing02 for healing. Peace and love y'all. Pray for a young sailor.

    I.... ....

    Isaiah Get it brother

  69. A.... F....

    still here listening to the beautiful songs of Nujabes/Shing 02

  70. J.... M....

    Francisco Javier Pineda Arias December 2 1936-February 28 2017

  71. A.... A....

    such a dope sound. so powerful. uplifting

  72. J.... t....

    I guess this is incentive to be a good person and go to heaven so we can hear more of Seba's music

  73. T.... P....

    So many people are speaking so much truth. I'm being swallowed by this beautifully produced song. To be honest I'm also touched at how thousands of people are here together like one family remembering the late Seba Jun. it's great to know that at least one community can be as peaceful as this. My Grandmother's aunt died and my grandfathers brother is in a hospital dying from level 4 cancer. I have no idea what to do other than feel like shit, so I just started playing some tracks. Nujabes came along, and I just felt so calm. Though he is dead, I'm so happy that there are some people out there suffering like me that listen to the same music. God bless you people, and may Nujabes forever rest in peace.

  74. A.... L....

    I'm so sad I still remember hear his music in 2004 till this day I can't get over it

  75. M.... F....

    Instrumentales como está alegran el día a día. Nujabes fue una gran perdida sin duda. Un respeto y saludos.

  76. g.... ....

    and again, still miss you. rest in beats, Seba Jun

  77. V.... T....

    this melody is the heaven's anthem

  78. A.... S....

    Only this song could give me goosebumps after hearing only the first few seconds...

  79. J.... C....

    2017 and still rocking this track.

  80. F.... I....

    50 people should be dead rn

  81. J.... U....

    R.I.P.B Nujabes.

  82. g.... ....

    rest in beats, Seba.
    we still miss you.

  83. L.... ....

    He came as a prodigy and left as a legend. R.I.P Nujabes

  84. L.... ....

    I know I'm late when I post this, but we lose too many brilliant artists too soon. They shouldve taken kanye west instead of nujabes. R.I.P Nujabes

    L.... ....

    this guy gets it

    L.... ....

    I'll be honest, if Kanye died on 2000's he would been considered a legend. His older musics were amazing
    Truth is, time corrupts people, this is why so many die young and are considered "legends"

    L.... ....

    Snips How about they should've taken you, everyone know Kanye West is a legend. He might have lost when his mother died, but he still have talent!!!

    L.... ....

    Eve well u couldve named drake(shittiest music artist imo)

    L.... ....

    Y'all can please stop arguing, a nujabes section of comments is positive thoughts 👌

  85. A.... ....

    For every process there is a genesis and a revelation.

    A.... ....

    Lynxity huh I think I know you.😑

    A.... ....

    Aerouix luv sic pt. 1 good gracious :P

  86. r.... i....

    the way nujabes fills your soul is a unique feeling. I hope it never fades no matter how much i listen to this.

  87. K.... J....

    R.I.P Nujabes

  88. K.... ....

    I can die to this song

  89. E.... B....

    geez them feels when i listen to this. beautiful

  90. R.... B....

    Heaven is really having a great music jam right now because of seba.

    R.... B....

    Ryan Blanco XD I bet heaven is, (not being sarcastic, just that I have a weird sense of humor.)

    this album cover makes me believe that Nujabes is in a better place now. a bittersweet emotion consumes me as I can't help but to stare and wonder at the album cover thinking about what will I be like 10 years in the future
