[Intro / Spoken]
“If you're gonna break something
Just break the beat.”
[Build]
Three, two, one—
[Verse 1]
Punching walls and raising your voice
Don't you dare call that being strong
If you wanna see somebody scared
Go try that act in the mirror alone
Don't say “I love you” while taking away
Someone else's freedom to choose
If you can't keep the promises you make
Don't shout them out like you've got something to prove
[Pre-Chorus]
That's not a thrill, you're just a pain
That's not love, that's control
Save that drama for the movies
In the real world—out you go
[Chorus]
Violence, gambling, cheating hearts
Don't tell those stories like badges of honor
Dragging everybody into your mess
Playing outlaw isn't funny anymore
If you're gonna break something, break the beat
Don't go breaking somebody's heart
Freedom, order, heavy bass
On my dancefloor
I don't need no outlaws!
[Drop / Vocal Chops]
I! Don't! Need! It!
Outlaw—out!
Break the beat, and nothing else!
I! Don't! Need! It!
[Verse 2]
Call the money you lost “a dream”
Then reach for somebody else's wallet
Kiss me saying you were lonely
While pretending betrayal never happened
“Bad boys always get the girls”
Throw that tired old script away
If you think that kindness is boring
Go raise hell all by yourself
[Pre-Chorus]
That's not excitement, that's damage done
That's not passion, you're just a pain
Before you try to look so cool
Try keeping one promise for a change
[Chorus]
Violence, gambling, cheating hearts
Don't dress it up and call it “wild”
Leaving someone else to clean your mess
That's not the hero that I want
If you're gonna break something, break the beat
Don't go breaking somebody's life
If you know how to talk things through
Then you're welcome on my floor
I don't need no outlaws!
[Breakdown / Spoken]
“…That's not a story to brag about.”
[Build-Up]
Fast—but always stay on beat
Hard—but never cross the line
Freedom only works with rules
This is my dancefloor
[Final Chorus]
Violence, gambling, cheating hearts
All of you outside—bye-bye!
Keep your selfish code away from me
Don't come messing up my life
If you're gonna break something, break the beat
Don't go breaking someone's future
Freedom, order, heavy bass
On my dancefloor
I don't need no outlaws!
[Final Drop / Armadillo Backing Vocal]
I! Don't! Need! It!
(La-la-la, don't need it!)
Outlaw—out!
(La-la-la, bye-bye!)
Break the beat, and nothing else!

Romance Still Won't Stop (English Version)
aokiemi
Let them go. Draw the line. And still, never give up on romance.
*Passionate Women: A Drum & Bass Trilogy* tells the story of a woman reclaiming the right to choose her own life.
The first chapter, *Go Home, Please*, says goodbye to those who fall in love not with the person standing before them, but with a role they have written for her in their own imagined story.
The second, *No Outlaws on My Dancefloor*, draws the line. Violence, gambling, betrayal, and control do not become love or passion simply because someone chooses to call them that. If you're going to break something, break the beat-not another person's heart, life, or future. Freedom needs boundaries, and even the hardest beat is no excuse to cross them.
Then comes the final chapter, *Romance Still Won't Stop*.
Being hurt does not mean giving up on love. Dreaming and seeing reality clearly can exist together. You don't have to become a character in somebody else's story. You can choose your own future, keep your eyes open, fall in love again-and dance beside someone without surrendering yourself.
I still dream, but I keep my eyes open.
From leaving, to boundaries, and from boundaries back to love.
This trilogy is not about saying, "I don't need anyone." It is about staying yourself while connecting with others-choosing reality without losing romance, and continuing to dance through it all.
