Lyrics
Verse 1
The city hurries past me, their eyes fixed on a screen,
I whisper softly, but my voice is unheard, unseen.
My numb fingers hold this fragile, flickering light,
The only warmth I'll own, just for tonight.
The digital glow is distant, a comfort I can't reach,
I'm standing here, just breathing on this lonely,
concrete beach.
Pre-Chorus
My finger traces the edge of the umbrella,
A tiny prayer against the cold, indifferent weather.
With every silent wish I put into the air,
This light, please—just stay right here.
Chorus
Oh, Lantern of the Solitude,
please don't let your fire fade!
Inside this glow is the only truth I've made.
Even if shadows surround me, I am not afraid,
My fragile heart is still beating in this shade.
Just tonight, I won't let the darkness win.
Verse 2
I strike the match once more, to make my vision thrive,
This tiny light is stronger than the world's cold, harsh lie.
The doubt fades out, the walls become transparent now, The hope of a bright future starts to show me how.
A guiding whisper calls my name so true,
My inner strength awakening, it will see me through.
Bridge
I cup this small flame within my trembling hands,
I breathe life into every spark across these lands.
You know this feeling, don't you?
The world outside is bright,
but you can't touch the shine.
That's why I can't let go of this small warmth of mine,
Please, don't disappear.
(Building intensity:)
The moment that this light goes out,
something inside will break,
But still, I choose the path I'm meant to take:
I choose this light. I choose this truth.
Final Chorus
Oh, Lantern of the Solitude,
please don't let your fire fade!
Inside this glow is the only truth I've made.
Even if shadows surround me, I am not afraid,
My fragile heart is still beating in this shade.
Just shine upon me a little longer now.
Outro
The cold is coming now, but I take my stand.
My light will guide me through this lonely land.

『孤独のランタン（Lantern of the Solitude）』
Verse 1
街の人々は 画面を見つめたまま通り過ぎていく
小さく呼びかけても 誰の耳にも届かない
かじかんだ指先に 小さな光
今夜だけは この温もりを抱きしめていたい
デジタルの光は 遠く手が届かない
私はただ この冷たい街で息をしている
Pre-Chorus
傘の縁をなぞる指
冷たい雨の中で 小さな祈りを立てる
声にならない願いを風に乗せて
――この灯よ、どうかここにいて
Chorus
ああ 孤独のランタンよ その火を消さないで
この光こそ 私が見つけたたったひとつの真実
闇に包まれても もう怖くない
脆い心が この影の中でまだ息をしている
今夜だけは 闇に負けないで
Verse 2
もう一度マッチを擦る 夢をつなぐために
この小さな光のほうが 世界の嘘よりも強い
疑いは消えて 壁は透きとおる
未来の希望が かすかに顔を出す
誰かが呼ぶ 私の名を
その声が力になる――
Bridge
震える手で この炎を包み込む
小さな火花に 息を吹きかけて
わかるでしょう？ この気持ちを
世界は明るいけれど その光には触れられない
だからこの小さな温もりを 離せないの
――お願い、消えないで
この灯が消えたら きっと心が壊れてしまう
それでも私は選ぶ――
この光を、この真実を。
Final Chorus
ああ 孤独のランタンよ その火を消さないで
この光こそ 私が見つけたたったひとつの真実
闇に包まれても もう怖くない
脆い心が この影の中でまだ息をしている
どうかもう少しだけ 照らしていて
Outro
冷たい夜が来ても 私は立っている
この光が 私を導いてくれるから――
