Lyrics (Note these are not direct translation, nor do I know enough Japanese to vet the translation I worked from initially)
My twin Gemini we don’t look alike
No not much at all
I mean, who cares?
And you, you just can’t get it right
Even your shoe laces are left united
you're tripping out
The lurking of hyenas
They lie in shadow
And wait for us
The odds of an escape
A seven way parley
And I can’t wait, I say…
I think I can
I think I can
I think I can
We’re lost in the forest alone
Come morning or night
I’m a shapeshifting chameleon
Staring down into the ground
No need to be found
You went away without
Even saying a word
Your simple Dear John it
Was carved into the door
The only thing you even needed to say:
I-C-A-N
I told you all about
These lofty dreams I’ve had
Hold on tight
Can’t even fool myself
Asleep , awake in night or day I’ll always say:
I-C-A-N

Holy shit. Really good. But now I am wondering, you certainly like the FLCL OST, and I bet you probably like the Pillows in general (other albums that are not attached to FLCL). So I would love to know, what are some of your favorite The Pillows songs that aren't in the FLCL OST?

[@JetWarrior]

I know you weren't asking me...but I'll give an answer anyways 😁
Their album 'Little Busters' has some absolute bangers that weren't in the show, of which "Like a Lovesong (Back to Back)" and "Nowhere" are two of my favorites. The album as a whole is one that I sometimes play in the background while working, so really I like the entire thing front to back. If 'Happy Bivouac' didn't have "Last Dinosaur" on it, this one would probably be my favorite of all their albums.
Speaking of which, though...'Happy Bivouac' is another one that had most of its songs on FLCL, but all three songs that didn't make also rank in my favorite by the band: "Rush," "Kim Deal," and "Back Seat Dog."
They had the album 'Thank You My Twilight' in 2002, and its title track, while it was used in the later seasons of FLCL, was and still is one my favorite Pillows songs ever, anime or otherwise. The opening track "Rain Brain" is also unbelievably catchy.
'My Foot' was the album that came out right after FLCL really got popular in the US, so the album is very nostalgic to me. I think a few of these songs were also used in the later FLCL seasons, like "The Third Eye," "My Girl" and the title track, all of which are amazing. But also check out "Rock'n'Roll Sinners" (try not to sing along to that chorus!), "Mighty Lovers" and "Sayonara Universe."
From 'Trial', there's the song "Comic Sonic." Nothing out of the ordinary, just an absolutely classic Pillows jam on a non-classic Pillows album.
So hopefully that helps. If you find some you like, feel free to share them too!
