Two things I noticed(I read all the comments)
Lupus – To Lose in Amber: Amber, like the color or rock, my guess is you’re thinking Ember, and Anonymousie, do you mean the italian Ciao? Or is there really a chao and I’m stupid? Ah well ^_^;
And engrishy titles are lots of fun
One I don’t understand is IT’S from Tsubasa Chronicles. It oddly seems to fit it well though, regardless of a lack of logic. o.o
A lot of engrish one’s make sense regardless of lack of logic, though there are the really strange ones too. ^_^ IT’s fun though.

I think that it’s more that I’ve has an obsession with Engrish.

I just recalled another gems such as the pillows’s “Skeleton Liar”, “Vain Dog (In Rain Drop)”, “Biscuit Hammer”, “Naked Shuffle”…

Ah, engrish, lovely engrish.

I’d second the GITS:SAC comment.

Also, if I recall correctly, “chao” is spanish slang for “goodbye”, maybe that’s what it’s meant to say?

How about “Run Rabbit Junk” (Yoko Kanno) or half of the tracks in GITS:SAC? :D

Re-sublimity! Such an odd sounding word; I had to look it up. The process of “re-entering a sublime state” doesn’t seem to have much bearing on the lyrics, though.

“I’ve” is a pun, you all know that right? Like how “Do As Infinity” was crafted out of the DAI initials.

I think for many lyricists penning songs with English but lyrics in Japanese they just look up what they want in a giant dictionary/thesaurus and pick out words they like. I know for a fact that’s how the hell we have songs like “Suppuration -Core-”.

And a lot of them do make some sense even if incredibly Engrishy. Lupus has it.

IMO no matter how it is a cultural thing, it’s still incredibly lame…
