no no no no "yes yes yes yes" no no no no "yes yes yes yes" ain't no such thing as trust nor justice so disgusting y'all ass kissers y'all die spell curse came from hell "past is what you don't wanna dwell" it's all BS it's all garbage "I say neither, it's vice versa"
maze he has made
ain't those bluffings gonna get you out" hmm... nothing but middle finger I hate talking to ignorants, stop the whimpers "misunderstanding man that's too much overreacting better go retract that statements on it, you can't own it" I am flawless "more like thoughtless"
overlooks his own path (dark dark night) where is light when needed he didn't get it enough for a man to lose sight for a frail pride
sun don't rise on the blinded mind around and around there goes now waiting for another falling let there be stars to guide him the way in this poor night
ways of life so exhausted he will not be who he's not so sick of lies over lies but can't tell what is a lie anymore he's going so numb |
your crew love that gibberish to me that's illiterate makes me want to obliterate it "you just love being bitter-y? don't ya I am thinking you just might be you just like me I'm just lucky just took it wrongfully and it just might not be entirely your fault"
open the door
"that's just you and that's how you mishandle things mishandle handle now!" now you're telling me what to do? let me tell you who rules "come on this ain't nothing to rule over this matter brother you and I we ain't so different 1 guess I had more blessings without it you got belligerent but I totally understand glass was half full for mine" and it looked half empty for me maybe that [one glass] made the path we took who knows?
overlooks his own path (dark dark night) The who knows not and knows not then he knows not... but he could just easily be oh anyone
where's the love? when one needs it? around and around there goes now waiting for another falling let there be stars to guide him the way in this poor night
ways of life so exhausted he will not be who he's not so sick of lies over lies but can't tell what is a lie anymore he's going so numb
maze he has made |

Persona 4 The Golden Animation
Ying Yang was written for episode 7 of Persona 4 The Golden Animation. It's used as background music when Yu and Adachi fight one another. At the beginning, the two of them fight with their Personas before it turns into a brawl in the replica of the Dojima family's living room in Magatsu Inaba. Their fight and the song ends with Yu setting down a replica of Adachi's red mug next to the other colored mugs to remind him that he's had bonds with people all along.
