Lirik lagu Monoral mini album AMMONITE yang dirilis pada 24 Maret 2004 terdiri dari lima tracks. AMMONITE adalah mini album kedua band yang terdiri dari Anis Shimada (vokal, gitar) dan Ali Morizumi (bass) tersebut. Sebelum ini, Monoral sudah penah merilis mini album perdana, IN STEREO. Kelak AMMONITE dirilis ulang pada 2 Juli 2008 di bawah payung Haunted Records yang ada dalam naungan Sony Music Japan. Haunted Records sendiri diciptakan oleh HYDE, vokalis L'Arc en Ciel.
Lirik lagu AMMONITE semuanya ditulis dalam bahasa Inggris, baik lirik maupun judulnya. Semua lirik ditulis oleh Anis, yang bekerjasama dengan HYDE dalam menangani lirik bahasa Inggris untuk album kedua solo projectnya, 666. Sementara, aliran musik MONORAL di album ini, sesuai review CaliggyJack dari Sputnik Music, cukup variatif, merentang dari Shoegaze, Ambient, Synth-Pop, dan Post-Grunge.
Penampilan Monoral sejak pertama kali debut, bahkan hingga rilisan album/single berikutnya, cukup asing bagi telinga pendengar J-Music. Bukan cuma karena aliran musik mereka, tetapi juga lirik yang dibuat Anis, yang berbahasa Inggris bukan sekadar Engrish (lirik Inggris, tetapi sangat kental terpengaruh struktur pembentukan kalimat ala bahasa Jepang).
Berikut ini lirik lagu album AMMONITE, mengikuti susunan tracks dalam album (lirik lagu i am i am - lirik lagu i like it - lirik lagu ammonite - lirik lagu oh no - lirik lagu so long).
1. "I Am I Am"
2. "I Like It"
3. "Ammonite"
4. "Oh No!"
5. "So Long"
I AM I AM
My time has come to an end
I'm not that scared no more
My fears seems to fade with time alone
I cared alone
Here I stand
With the path of time
Wondering what is left for us
In this big, big cruel world
Here I stand
With the path of time
Wondering what is left for us
In this big, big cruel world
All of the times that we shared
All of the times that we shared
I tried so hard to trust in what was never real
The mines I've stepped into was all enough
Too much
Here I stand
With the path of time
Wondering what is left for us
In this big, big cruel world
Here I stand
With the path of time
Wondering what is left for us
In this big, big cruel world

I LIKE IT
Please, believe yourself to carry on.
How can I resist from saying why?
Still, I always see you come and go.
It's not what I hate the most.
But please, don't make me see, don't make me
Like it, cause I like it, would you be lonely with me?
If you could only talk, and I don't
Like it, I don't care for it, holding what you see,
And I don't like it, I don't care for it, holding what you...
Wait, until you see me get along.
It takes a while to save the money lost.
Still, it makes me feel I'm doing wrong.
There's nothing wrong with what I want.
What I do feel?
Please, don't make me see, don't make me
Like it, cause I like it, would you be lonely with me?
If you could only talk, and I don't
Like it, I don't care for it, holding what you see,
and I don't like it, I don't care for it, holding what you see.

AMMONITE
It's peaceful here is it?
I hear you're part of it
I think your innocence
Is running out with your knees on the ground
So I'll be waiting to rattle
All I want
Is all you hear
Beneath my candle of hope is fear
You will not be the want to say
I know
It peels all simpleness
I hear we pay for this
I pray you're infamous
Mark me out with my needs on the ground
OH NO!
Oh no!
They're after me again
I have to hide I'm scared of them
Oh no!
They're after me again
I have to hide I'm scared of them
You might be the one
How should I know
I'll drown you with wine
And tear you apart
I'm wondering why
They come back again
Cause it's always the same
It's always the same
Oh no!
They're after me again
I have to hide I'm scared of them
Oh no!
They're after me again
I have to hide I'm scared of them
Is all your moment spent?
Remember that I know the truth
That seems to fade in awful harmony
Is all your moment spent?
Remember that I know the truth
That seems to fade in awful harmony
SO LONG
So easy to say, but how could I let you know?
If you only could wait, I'd tell you how things went wrong...
Is it the same thing for you
So long, so long...
I'm always sleeping when it all goes out.
So long, so long...
I'm always sleeping when it all goes out.
When I heard that I'll be awake,
When everything goes out.
You take it away, the hatred I find before.
If I was to ask for the time to make it right,
It'd be the same thing for you.
So long, so long...
I'm always sleeping when it all goes out.
So long, so long...
I'm always sleeping when it all goes out.
So long, so long...
I'm always sleeping when it all goes out.
So long, so long!...
I'm always sleeping when it all goes out...
So long...
So long...
So long, yeah...
Sooooooooooooooooooo long...
So so so long...
