Lirik lagu Monoral album TURBULENCE yang dirilis pada 4Juli 2007 terdiri dari 10 tracks. VIA adalah album duaband yang terdiri dari Anis Shimada (vokal, gitar) dan Ali Morizumi (bass) tersebut. Sebelum ini, Monoral sudah penah merilis dua mini album, IN STEREO dan AMMONITE, juga pernah merilis album perdana di major label, PETROL. Turbulence diirlis di bawah payung Vamprose yang ada dalam naungan Sony Music Japan. Vamprose adalah 'label baru' setelah Haunted Records yang diciptakan oleh HYDE, vokalis L'Arc en Ciel.
Lirik lagu TURBULENCE 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. Penampilan Monoral memang unik berkat lirik Inggris ini. Pasalnya, lirik yang dibuat Anis, yang berbahasa Inggris bukan sekadar Engrish (lirik Inggris, tetapi sangat kental terpengaruh struktur pembentukan kalimat ala bahasa Jepang).

SPARTA
I'm gonna make it up to you
So help me carry through
Moving back and forth
I'm taking back my youth
If you mind I don't mind
If you mind I don't mind
I will break these diamonds
Swallow your spine and
Fight them all
If you mind I don't mind
If you mind I don't mind
I will break this silence
Follow your words and
Fight them all
Come and face my crimes
I'll let my mines appear
Disillusion is near
So now I lie to make it disappear
Standing on my feet
I will break these diamonds
Swallow your spine and
Fight them all
I will prove them wrong
And make it disappear
I'm gonna hate them like you would
Deceiving silent rules
Waited for so long
I want my time to fool
'Cause I can make it on my own
And save my shaking throne
Moving back and forth
I'm taking back my youth
If you mind I don't mind
If you mind I don't mind
I will break these diamonds
Swallow your spine and
Fight them all
If you mind I don't mind
If you mind I don't mind
I will break these diamonds
Swallow your words and
Fight them all
Come and face my crimes
I'll let my mines appear
Disillusion is near
So now I lie to make it disappear
Standing on my feet
I will break these diamonds
Swallow your spine and
Fight them all
I will prove them wrong
And make it disappear
Come and face my crimes
I'll let my mines appear
Disillusion is near
So now I lie to make it disappear
Standing on my feet
I will break these diamonds
Swallow your words and
Fight them all
I will prove them wrong
And make it disappear

VIMANA
I left the world above to claim my prize
Watch me take the least without surprise
If only I could change the course of fate
Will my father judge my only crime?
Wash my memories with time
I’ll be safe and yours
Wash my memories with time
I’ll be safe and yours
Behind your eyes I see a glint
That forces me to fade away
Wash my memories with time
I’ll be as pure as you
Fold my wings and crawl the street of lights
Watch me taste defeat with grief inside
If only I could put this all to rest
Will my angels help me rise again?
Wash my memories with time
I’ll be safe and yours
Wash my memories with time
I’ll be safe and yours
Behind your eyes I see a glint
That forces me to fade away
Wash my memories with time
I’ll be as pure as you
As pure as you…

MONKEY CAGE
Why do you worry?
Why does it mean so much to you?
Whatever the reason
Close your eyes now
What do you carry?
What do you think is best for you?
Wherever you’re going
You’ll always be the same I pray
Say,
Have you ever seen that place
Have you ever been to monkey cage?
Why does it have to fade
Said you’ll never stray away
Said you’ll never stray away
Have you ever seen that place
Have you ever been to monkey cage?
Why does it have to fade
And I wanted you to stay
‘Cause I wanted you to stay
How do you judge me
How can you put your self aside
Wherever you’re hiding
You’ll always think of me I pray
Say,
Have you ever seen that place
Have you ever been to monkey cage?
Why does it have to fade
Said you’ll never stray away
Said you’ll never stray away
Have you ever seen that place
Have you ever been to monkey cage?
Why does it have to fade
And I wanted you to stay
‘Cause I wanted you to stay
Have you ever seen that place
Have you ever been to monkey cage?
Why does it have to fade
Said you’ll never stray away
Said you’ll never stray away
When I’m high
She’s near and she says yeah, yeah, yeah…

TUESDAY
I can hear this silence crawl around
Hello, you thinkers
Hello, you fakers
And I see the summer drown you dry
Hello, you lovers
Hello, you dreamers
When I feel so insecure
I will need you, turn around
There’s no one left to decide who is right or wrong
Waiting’s not enough for you
Wasting what I want the most
Tuesday’s gone and I’m tasting it over
Let me reside with the same old view
Sharing’s all I need from you
Taking what I want the most
Tuesday’s near and I wish that you were here
I can feel this sadness drag you down
Hello, you talkers
Hello, you sleepers
And I see this madness close your eyes
Hello, mistreaters
Hello, you weepers
When I feel so insecure
Grace my day
Please, stay around
There’s no one left to decide who is right or wrong
Waiting’s not enough for you
Wasting what I want the most
Tuesday’s gone and I’m tasting it over
Let me reside with the same old view
Sharing’s all I need from you
Taking what I want the most
Tuesday’s near and I wish that you were here
If this comfort holds you down
I would gladly pull you out
It’s a heavy
(Keep, keep, keep me awake somehow)
(Keep, keep, keep me awake somehow)
It’s a heavy
(Keep, keep, keep me awake somehow)
(Keep, keep, keep me awake somehow)
It’s a heavy
(Keep, keep, keep me awake somehow)
(Keep, keep, keep me awake somehow)
It’s a heavy
(Keep, keep, keep me awake somehow)
Now

PERFECT GOLD
Show me what you got
Please, be sure
That what you have is raw
Cause I’ll take it as it comes
Feed me with your gold
But don’t cross the borderline
Let it shine and give some more
Judge me with your trust
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect
You’ve got to taste it
And wash your soul
Without reprisal
Die in grace
You’ve got to taste it
And wash your soul
Without reprisal
Die in grace
Show me how to live
Lead me on
‘Cause all I’ve got are needs
Of what I long to be
Spoil me with your gold
I want you to cross the line
Let the music turn you on
Drain me with your smile
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect gold
It’s a perfect
You’ve got to taste it
And wash your soul
Without reprisal
Die in grace ….

KIRI
You complete my faith
The word unwinds unside of me
You complete my faith
The halo glows away
You refill my place
You refill my place
Come and save me
Come and save me
Come and save me
Come and save me
Come and save me

POMPADOUR
Intoxication is getting to me
Your dices are my vices
I’m suffocating, and your taking it free
No matter what no matter
You’re near
You’re here
As we bleed
You’re blinded by this need to kill
Kutengah mabuk berat
Perjudianmu adalah celaku
Kutercekik
SO FREE US
SO FREE US
Your constitution is getting to me
Your voices are your devises
Too much ambition but you always succeed
No matter what no matter
Destruction’s never going to pay it off
Your choices are our prices
Too much confusion, so I’m sending a will
No matter what no matter
You’re near
You’re here
As we bleed
You’re blinded by this need to kill
As we bleed
You’re haunted by this need
To heal
As we speak
You’re blinded by this need to kill
SO FREE US
SO FREE US
[As we bleed
You’re blinded by this need to kill
As we bleed
You’re haunted by this need
To heal
As we speak
You’re blinded by this need…]
…need
As you grow
You can flow
And you’re blinded by this need
As you grow
You can flow
And you’re blinded by this need
As you grow
You can flow
And you’re blinded by this need
As you grow
You can flow
Cause you’re blinded by this
FLOW
FLOW
FLOW
FLOW

SHENANIGANS
Well I’ll be talking to the one
That you never married
Always on my mind
I need to release that fury
Hell, you never thought
That I’ll be the one to worry
Be my kind
It makes you bleed
It makes you scream
It makes you want to join
The rest of the shenanigans
Well I’ve been talking to myself
For a while and I think
Of all the words you said
That stains and deceives my ego
It took me time to figure
How to believe in fairies
Be my kind
It makes you bleed
It makes you scream
It makes you want to join
The rest of the shenanigans
It makes you bleed
It makes you scream
It makes you want to join
The rest of the shenanigans

SESSION 9
Show me how to stay awake
‘Cause I want to feel you close
Take a walk and think for me
And tell me who to be
Let me hold your hand again
‘Cause you must be shaking
Staring at each others eyes
And we can’t go on
You’re moving on and on and on
You’re moving on and on and on
‘Cause this time you’re on your own
And I know you need it
Change your world around
And I know you need it
Leave your past behind
And I know you need it
Give yourself away
And I know you need it
Let them all have a seat
I’ll be standing in vain
Hoping you’d understand
Nothing matters but you
Tell me how it use to be
‘Cause it seems to fade away
Take a walk and think of me
And show me who you’ll be
Promise me you’ll stay a while
And I don’t want to lose you
Thinking of what we once had
But we can’t go back
You’re moving on and on and on
You’re moving on and on and on
‘Cause this time you’re on your own
And I know you need it
Change your world around
And I know you need it
Leave your past behind
And I know you need it
Give yourself away
And I know you need it
Let them all have a seat
I’ll be standing in vain
Hoping you’d understand
Nothing matters but you …
