lyrics

Appearances by Ayuo is the second track from Ayuo's CD "Outside Society", released by Ayuo Music on July 2019.

Appearances (ミカケの世界)

What I see here
In this country
Appearances are the only reality
Life is on the surface.

Rituals give life a kind of order,
Here these become an art of behavior.
Without any depth of character

So much appeared Western
Was revealed as Western only in appearance.
Eating Western meal he discovered it was mainly Japanese
