Nujabes - Luv(sic) Part 5 Lyrics






Till death do us apart, and it did
Come sudden like clouds, and it hid my sun
My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead
On our lives we nourished
And the days we cherished as kids
We let them whizz on by, but when I rewind
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
Your smile is the only thing that shines

In your last breath you told me, that you had to go
Cause it pained you so
Oh I loved you so much so
Was I selfish to hold on
And cling on to your body that hosts a soul
That wanted to set free the eagle in a cage
And you became eagerly what I wanted to be
You the person to leave, I the person
To see off another best friend to land's end
I watched grown men moan, and women weep
As you quietly descended six feet deep
But the spirit ascended before our wet eyes
A gift from God, returned to sender
Though I like to pretend that this never happened
I can turn around and see you laughing
But the fact is you could never practice
Getting blind-sided and eating the wind shield
Endless field of shards of glass
This too shall pass, but reality bites, it says not so fast
First you must climb a calvary of shattered hopes
And then a mountain of prayers unheard
'Till you reach that peak where you can see the dark abyss below
Then you let me know if you have what it takes for a leap of faith
I had to say, hell no, heaven yes, but not yet
Please bless a forehead, cold in a bed
Or alone on the road with nobody to hold
When the pouring rain is too much to bear
It's a reason to live for a seed that needs care

Till death do us apart and it did
Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun
My truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead
On our lives we nourished
And the days we cherished as kids
We let it whizz on by, but when I rewind
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
Your smile is the only thing that shines

Now I hit this stage in honor of you
How's the other side, I bet it's a splendid view
No more stress for rent, or to make ends
Collide in a cocktail, shame with envy
I can hide behind lens that block the UV
Looking in from the outside the bowl is murky
The toll for the bridge is rising
Weatherman says storm, city hall is burning
Same ol' chaos, gotta shut my cell like I'm waiting to take off
On the runway, scoping out the window
The moisture covers the sight though
Telling myself it's just another day in the life of a starving artist
Trying to paint a dream you woke from
Chasing the departed
We used to hang by the banks to see who can skip a stone the farthest
What I thought was a stream is now an ocean
No such thing as an extreme to show devotion
To your craft, which I didn't know the half
Tried to knock down your door and caught the backdraft
And a whiplash, all in reverse
Then I finally stood up and said, we reserve the right to serve anyone
And on the same note you deserve the best of the most fun
By the way I got your letter, you said you were fed up
Well I second that and I reckon that you tried
So I don't place a blame that you took the fifth
And the first flight out of town, into the mist

Till death do us apart and it did
Come sudden like clouds and it hid my sun
Your truth heavier than imagined, a lid die-cast in lead
On our lives we nourished
And the days we cherished as kids
We let 'em whizz on by, but when I rewind
Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
Your smile is the only thing that shines

Your smile is the only thing that comes to mind
Your smile is the only thing that shines

Whether a tree lives to see the end of centuries
Or a random hand picks it instantly
Life is art, a miracle for all to see
I must tell you that you lived beautifully

  44. V.... ....

    this song and rainy mood just makes everything perfect

  45. J.... ....

    The scratch, the "everything is quiet" and then the silence. It blows my mind and my heart everytime.

  46. S.... ....

    S.... ....

    cool pic profile #bladee

  47. D.... ....

    "Till' death do us part and it did."

    Right in the feels zone, whew lemme tell ya.

    D.... ....

    Damn dud good luck with what's happenings with you ‹3

    D.... ....

    Heard that while I was typing a summary and had to replay that just to see if I heard it right.
    Hitting hard and fast, shit hurts.

  48. S.... ....

    Shing02 went through some deep shit, man

  49. K.... A....

    It's just perfect...I can't even hold my tears back. Crying like a little baby now.

    K.... A....

    Katya Al deep down, we all cried for his sudden departure

  50. M.... ....

    As a first time driver, this song definitely doesn't help with car anxiety lol

  51. D.... P....

    To Jeff.

  52. A.... V....

    This is such a good tribute to Nujabes

    A.... V....

    @Andrew Vuong Oh i knew he died but didn't know he died in a car accident. The lyrics make a lot more sense now.

    A.... V....

    +Andrew Vuong this was actually written about a beatboxer who Shingo knew who passed away after a battle with brain cancer. Part 6 is the part that serves as a tribute to Nujabes

    A.... V....

    +aarondeister98 actually the second half is dedicated to them both, as Nujabes passed midway through production, leaving Shing to finish the second half himself this song has three souls put into it. kind of depressing

    A.... V....

    @drunk Jotaro Kujo Damn that is pretty depressing. Good to know though, thanks for correcting me man!

    A.... V....

    aarondeister98 I thought it was about the car accident due to the fact that he says "you can never prepare to be blindsided, eating the windshield." along those lines.

  53. D.... ....

    The sound like heaven

  54. Z.... B....

    I guess I've skipped parts 1 to 4 and went straight to five. No Grand Finale.

    Z.... B....

    Try listening to them.

  55. K.... ....

    This is the best part of them I think. But they are all damn great,

    K.... ....

    +Umbrafire856 My personal favourite is part 6. It never gets old

  56. T.... S....

    this is GARBAGE...Drake would DESTROY this guy in a rap battle

    T.... S....

    It's not April Fools yet.

    T.... S....

    +Tama Skipper and drake would pull out his blackberry.

    T.... S....

    It's even funnier cause drake doesn't even rap

    T.... S....

    You are sad, it must suck to be you

    T.... S....

    Um, April Fools is in less than 2 months, dude.

  57. M.... G....

    Why does his English get worse with every part?

    M.... G....

    I'm sorry, I was wrong. lol. His English gradually gets better.

    M.... G....

    +King Snoop02 It doesn't change you sperg

    M.... G....

    +King Snoop02 maybe it's your heart that's making it distorted

    M.... G....

    @local loser Really living up to your username, aren't you?

    M.... G....

    +King Snoop02 I'll join my brothers fallen before me

  58. S.... ....

    The way the picture zooms up towards the stars at the end of the video ;-; beautiful.

  59. I.... R....

    Fall Again by Michael Jackson sample? This is tight

  60. K.... G....

    RIP Seba Jun

  61. O.... ....

    I agree with Nujabes, this song is really dark compared to the rest of the luv (sic) songs

    O.... ....

    @Kimura Masato I think Luv(Sic) holds an overall unending and overwhelming nostalgia. Not only for what Nujabes' life being cut short, but in the contents itself; part one meditates on the honeymoon phase when you meet someone and fall, part two is reaffirming those feelings. Part three seems to understand these feelings and now revels in them. Part four is reflecting on what was and the circumstances that lead to the revelation of what has been and what might be. Part five is the hearbreak and the mourning. Part six is reflecting on what happened and moving forward but still being very sad about how things turned out due to what could have been.

    Much like a relationship, Luv(Sic) truly is lovesick. I think its very underrated for what it is, but for what it is on my own personal level is something intangible and extremely human made clear through words and beats.

    Nujabes may be dead, and its something we can be saddened by and hate, but the truth is that his work is very touching on some level, and as long as it is, the records will indeed stay on rotate.

    O.... ....

    @Kimura Masato Yeah man, just read that Shing02 intended the last 3 parts of Luv(sic) to be a trilogy of certain themes. Where part 4 is discovery, part 5 is Parting which understandably will be darker

    O.... ....

    +Seedy Vagrant dude, you found the words for my feelings :P

  62. J.... ....

    i was wrong. this whole song makes me want to cry.

  63. J.... ....

    the first 30 seconds make me just wanna cry

  64. R.... T....

    "Everything is quiet."



    Right in the feels. RIP nujabes you will be missed.

    R.... T....

    do you know where thsts from?

    R.... T....

    +Chris Gordon I do not :/ sorry

    R.... T....

    +Chris Gordon Sounded like Deepak Chopra to me, perhaps off one of his meditation recordings.

  65. s.... j....

    R.I.P. Nujabes 

  66. D.... ....

    Found out Monty Oum died
    went straight for this song

  67. c.... ....

    So much better. Made my late night :)

  68. T.... �....

    I miss you Angel. When you left everything was quiet.

  69. T.... W....

    This song is really deap. shing02 is talking about nujabes death and a fan of his who died of cancer that he came close with. for those who disliked this or said it sucked i feel sorry that you can't comprehend good music

    T.... W....

    Where can I find more info on the fan who passed away?

    T.... W....

    @Jose Cordova i just looked around to find it, but unfortunately shing 02 isn't that "big" of on artist so there is too much information on him. but if im remembering correctly he was a beatboxer who was a fan of his. shing went and visited him in the hospital and they ended up getting close. He ended up passing away before this song was released. There was more to it but i cant really remember and i even went back to the website i learned it from and it wasnt there anymore 

    T.... W....

    @Jose Cordova read this https://www.facebook.com/ShingoAnnen/posts/10150679906628702

    T.... W....

    Thanks alot both of yous i really appreciate it! It feels good to read that information

  70. A.... ....

    shing02's lyrics always win my heart. dat words are too damn cool.

    A.... ....

    Yeah, Shing's lyrical content is impeccable. Whenever I listen to Shing02 I have to pop-up a lyrics site just to help me appreciate the song and hopefully help learn the lyrics too, haha.

    A.... ....

    Shingo and Nujabes were made to collab

  71. �.... ....

    favorite part o.o. followed by 1 and 2.

  72. t.... ....

    This song always makes me cry... It reminds me of my friend who passed away last year. He was like a brother to me..
    R.I.P. 

    t.... ....

    @tR6yMusic It's all the same to me. I lost my best friend. He passed away 14 years ago against cancer :(

    t.... ....

    Stay strong you two.

    t.... ....

    Yeah, stay strong, brothers.

  73. M.... o....

    Does anyone know if this is sampled? It reminds me a lot of another song, but I can't telle which one...
    Amazing song btw

    M.... o....

    i'm sure it is. to my knowledge all of the luv sic songs are mainly samples from other music, and then he made his own samples as well. nujabes often takes samples from numerous songs and puts them into one song along with samples he creates himself. 

    M.... o....

    Fall again - Michael Jackson

  74. E.... P....

    This song is for people that can relate its not for everyone

  75. S.... J....

    @Nikko Adekunle Troll or what is wrong with him?

  76. t.... s....

    this one and part 1 are my favorites. this one is so sad tho T-T

  77. D.... C....

    Rest In Beats

  78. J.... B....

    My bad I commented on the wrong video. It was supposed to be for another guy that remixed his lyrics on "Aruian Dance"

  79. T.... V....

    It's supposed to be sad because  part of this  song is dedicated to young beatboxer who died.  

  80. N.... ....

    Does anyone know what the sample at the beginning and at 2:56? Is it even a sample from anything?

  81. V.... R....

    ughhhhhh omg so I'm a big fan of parts 1-3 and i barely got around to listening to part 5 now and..........ITS SOOOOO SAD! WTF!

  82. J.... B....

    Whoops. Made a mistake by commenting the wrong video.

  83. J.... B....

    Not bad. Hmm... you can do better. The lyrics don't really go well with the mood of the music. Try to express less of yourself. It comes off as having an ego.

    J.... B....

    This is the stupidest comment anyone can ever come up with.

    J.... B....

    If only Nujabes were to hear this, he would explain further... but unfortunately he couldn't. May the god rest in peace <3

    J.... B....

    @Monsielago chill out. Check the comment again.

    J.... B....

    Ah ^_^ okay Understood

    J.... B....

    @Jhonny Bailon
    Now, hold on a second. For me, it always seemed like music was supposed to be a form of self expression. So this whole "express less of yourself" thing is coming off a bit odd for me. I think the lyrics match the track pretty well. But, you know... opinions. Whatever.

  84. b.... b....

    Too real

  85. 1.... ....

    pet metheny in the beginning?

  86. t.... ....

    when the pouring rain is too much to bear
    it's a reason to live for a seed that needs care.. till death to us part and it did

  87. l.... ....

    2:49-2:54...that's part of Martin Luther King's last speech the night before his death "I've Been to the Mountaintop"...that's deep

  88. V.... ....

    But we got closure.

  89. M.... ....

    Imagine if part 6 was never found. The story would just end with the narrator mourning over his love.
    Fuck this song is sad

  90. K.... P....

    where is the voice at like 3:10 from? I feel I've heard it before...

  91. B.... ....

    nope, I also noticed similarities

  92. J.... J....

    is epic, reminders and inspiring.

  93. g.... ....

    Luv Sic series....in my opinion the best hip hop songs ever.

  94. W.... ....

    Is it just me, or does this sound like Sting's Shape of my Heart? (which I think was also sampled by Nas)
