Uses
Man'yōgana (万葉仮名?) is an ancient writing system that employs Chinese characters to represent the Japanese language. The date of the earliest usage of this type of kana is not clear, but it was in use since at least the mid seventh century. The name "man'yōgana" is from the Man'yōshū, a Japanese poetry anthology from the Nara period written in man'yōgana.
A possible oldest example of Man'yōgana is the iron Inariyama Sword that was excavated at the Inariyama Kofun in 1968. In 1978, X-ray analysis revealed a gold-inlaid inscription consisting of more than 115 Chinese characters and this text, written in Chinese, included Japanese personal names which were supposedly phonetically written. This sword is thought to have been made in the year 辛亥年 (471 C.E. in commonly accepted theory), and analysis of the rust on the sword implies that the metal used may have been refined from magnetite found in the eastern region of China, imported into Japan, and used to forge the sword there. There is a possibility that the inscription of Inariyama sword is written in a version of the Chinese language used by some ancient Koreans. A scholar wrote in his article that most scholars in Japanese studies tend to accept in one form or another the ancient legend that Man'yōgana came from Baekche. However this hypothesis is denied by other scholars.
In English, lower case man (pl. men) refers to an adult human male (the term boy is the usual term for a human male child or adolescent). Sometimes it is also used as an adjective to identify a set of male humans, regardless of age, as in phrases such as "men's rights". Although men typically have a male reproductive system, some intersex people with ambiguous genitals, and biologically female transgender people, may also be classified or self-identify as a "man".
The term manhood is used to refer to masculinity, the various qualities and characteristics attributed to men such as strength and male sexuality.
The English term "man" is derived from Old English mann. The Old English form had a default meaning of "adult male" (which was the exclusive meaning of "wer"), though it could signify a person of unspecified gender. The closely related "man" was used just as it is in Modern German to designate "one" (e.g., as in the saying Man muss mit den Wölfen heulen). The Old English form is derived from Proto-Germanic *mannaz, "persona", which is also the etonym of German Mann "man, husband" and man "one" (pronoun), Old Norse maðr, and Gothic manna. According to Tacitus, the mythological progenitor of the Germanic tribes was called Mannus. The Germanic form is in turn derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *manu-s "man, person", which is also the root of the Indian name Manu, mythological progenitor of the Hindus.

With these glasses on
I can still see the colours that you give this place
So soft and warm
But I can't take it in all at once
So I close my eyes
Maybe behind this new facade
You won't notice it's me
If I became somebody else
You could let yourself fall again
With this jacket on
I can still smell your sweetness in the February air
Like peppermint
But I can't take it in all at once
So I hold my breath
Maybe behind this new facade
You won't notice it's me
If I became somebody else
You could let yourself fall again
I'll fool myself into thinking that it's me that you want
And I promise I'll believe the things you said
In convincing me our stars are aligned
And that we're destined to be
Maybe behind this new facade
You won't notice it's me
If I became somebody else
You could let yourself fall again
Just Let yourself fall again
Just let yourself fall again
