どん底なら、撮っておけ
Japanese spoken-poetry rock, tempo 92–96 BPM, mid-slow 8-beat, subtle groove, not upbeat. Intro has a small repeating guitar hook that is memorable but melancholic, slightly minor color, understated and restrained. Vocal: Female, low and close, dry, forward, calm, emotionally controlled, no smile in the tone, no pop sweetness. Arrangement minimal: clean electric guitar with muted strokes, warm bass, tight soft drums, no pads, no synths, no strings, no backing vocals, no harmonies. Mood: reflective, cinematic realism, bittersweet, quiet intensity, hopeful but heavy. Melody: short phrases with small lift, hook returns between sections, never turns bright, no big chorus. Mix: voice centered and dry, guitar slightly wide, bass warm and deep, minimal reverb, no shiny mastering, strong final stop, no fade-out. Lyrics language: Japanese only.

Lyrics
【1番】
帰る場所が
なくなった夜
しゃがみ込んだ
泥を這う顔
どん底なら
負けた自分を 撮っておけ
【2番】
安いホテルの
明るすぎる部屋
ベッドの皺だけが
話を覚えている
どん底なら
笑えない顔を 撮っておけ
【3番】
診察室から
名前が呼ばれる
持ち帰ったのは
重い言葉だけ
どん底なら
泣いた顔を 撮っておけ
【Outro】
画面の中の
今の顔
今の自分を
撮っておけ
撮っておけ...

【Verse 1】
There was no place
left to go back to that night.
I sank down to the pavement,
my face dragging through the dirt.
If you’re at rock bottom,
capture the face that lost.
【Verse 2】
A cheap hotel room,
lit far too bright.
Only the wrinkles in the sheets
remember what we said.
If you’re at rock bottom,
capture the face that couldn’t smile.
【Verse 3】
They called my name
from the doctor’s room.
The only thing I took home
was a heavy sentence of words.
If you’re at rock bottom,
capture the face that cried.
【Outro】
And on this screen,
I see my face now.
This is who I am —
so I capture it.
Capture it…
