East Asia or Eastern Asia is the eastern subregion of the Eurasian continent, which can be defined in either geographical or cultural terms. Geographically and geopolitically, it covers about 12,000,000 km2 (4,600,000 sq mi), or about 28% of the Asian continent, about 15% bigger than the area of Europe.
More than 1.5 billion people, about 38% of the population of Asia and 22% or over one fifth of all the people in the world, live in East Asia. Although the coastal and rivery areas of the region form one of the world's most populated places, the population in Mongolia and Western China, both landlocked areas, is very sparsely distributed, with Mongolia having the lowest population density of a sovereign state. The overall population density of the region is 133 inhabitants per square kilometre (340/sq mi), about three times the world average of 45/km2 (120/sq mi).
Historically, many societies in East Asia have been part of the Chinese cultural sphere, and East Asian vocabulary and scripts are often derived from Classical Chinese and Chinese script. Sometimes Northeast Asia is used to denote Japan and Korea. Major religions include Buddhism (mostly Mahayana), Confucianism or Neo-Confucianism, Taoism, Chinese folk religion, Islam in China and Taiwan, Shinto in Japan, Shamanism in Korea, Mongolia and other indigenous populations of northern East Asia, and recently Christianity in South Korea. The Chinese Calendar is the root from which many other East Asian calendars are derived.
You were broken inside but you're no fool
You keep wearing that smile 'cuz you're so cool
You're just pretending life is so good
And you remind me of someone I once used to be
You broke the fantasy world
But since you're well
The future knocks on your door
Every night we're there
The kingdom is changing
But the king will survive
And you remind me of someone I once used to be
Me of someone I once used to be
Me of someone I once used to be
And he reminds me of someone I once used to be
You were broken inside
But you're no fool
And you remind me
You were broken inside
But you're no fool
And you remind me of someone I once
But you're no fool
And you remind me of someone I once used to be
And you remind me of someone I once used to be
Me of someone I once used to be
