『獄光』
A dark alternative pop track merging heavy rock and industrial, built on tense minor-key, uneasily shifting chords. The verses pair muted electronic beats with distorted sub-bass, icy pads, rising synth noise, and layered backing vocals. Verses highlight breathy, clear female vocals—flashing from soft, vulnerable whispers to distorted, searing force on climactic lines with aggressive consonants. Choruses break open with biting guitars, hard-hitting drums, glitchy effects, and menacing bursts of noise. The emotive lead vocal dominates—magnetic and unsettling—balanced by haunting vocal stacks and relentless, cold textures throughout. Medium-fast tempo for restless energy.

Lyrics
アイドルは、光輝く存在でなければならない――誰がそう決めた？
この楽曲が描くのは、
希望や笑顔の象徴として消費される「光」ではない。
闇の中に在りながら、
圧倒的な存在感と輝度で周囲を照らし、
近づく夢や憧れを焼き尽くしてしまう光。
彼女は誰かを蹴落とそうとしたわけでも、
奪おうとしたわけでもない。
ただ“そこに在った”だけで、
他者の理想や夢が耐えきれず壊れていった。
この光は破壊なのか。
それとも、誰も触れられない闇の中でも消えない、
孤高の輝きなのか。
Idols have to be shining figures -- who decided that?
This song does not depict a "light" that is consumed as a symbol of hope and smiles.
Even in the darkness,
a light that illuminates its surroundings with an overwhelming presence and brightness,
burning away any dreams or aspirations that come its way.
She was not trying to knock anyone down or
steal anyone.
By simply "being there,"
others' ideals and dreams could not bear it and were shattered.
Is this light destruction?
Or is it a solitary glow that does not fade even in the darkness where no one can touch it?
【Intro｜Whisper】
Dark light
Light born in the dark
ねえ
逸らさないで
それとも
壊れに来たの？
【Aメロ1】
スポットライトは不要
闇に居れば 瞳が合う
招いてないのに 群れる視線
それだけで 誰かが罅割れる
呼吸しただけ
声を出しただけ
剥がれ落ちるのは 誰の夢
【Bメロ1】
叶わぬ夢ほど
正しさを欲しがるでしょう
その眼に
映るのは
いつも他人の業
焼き付いてしまうなら
それも 報いでしょう
【サビ】
Dark light
Dreams burn when they get too close
I didn’t steal your dream
壊れたのは 触れたせい
Dark light
I shine even in the dark
Who crossed the line first?
You or me?
【Aメロ2】
「憧れてた」
その言葉が
刃になって 喉を裂く
比べて 負けて
泣いた理由まで
あたしに なすりつけないで
瞬いただけで
奪ったことに
されるならそれでいい
【Bメロ2】
光を飼い慣らすなんて
思い上がりでしょう
闇を孕んだまま
触れずにいなさい
ほら そこで
綺麗なまま見てなよ
【サビ2】
Dark light
Dreams burn when they get too close
知らないよ
あたしは 奪ってない
Dark light
I shine even in the dark
この声だけは
消せない
【Cメロ｜Shout】
Don’t call me your idol
Don’t dress me as a god
祈りも 羨望も
あたしは
選んでない
この場所も
この声も
【ラスサビ】
Dark light
Dreams burn when they get too close
それでも あたしは消えない
焼き尽くしても
歌うしか
知らなかった
Dark light
I shine even in the dark
見上げてたのは
あたしじゃない
【Outro｜Quiet】
You weren’t looking at me
You were staring at yourself
Dark Light (English Version)
【Intro｜Whisper】
Dark light
Light born in the dark
Hey
Don’t look away
Or did you come here
Just to break?
【Verse 1】
I don’t need a spotlight
In the dark, our eyes still meet
Uninvited stares gather
And someone cracks just from that
I only breathed
I only raised my voice
So whose dream is peeling off?
【Pre-Chorus 1】
Unreachable dreams
Always crave righteousness
In those eyes
What’s reflected
Is always someone else’s sin
If you got burned into me
Then that’s your retribution
【Chorus】
Dark light
Dreams burn when they get too close
I didn’t steal your dream
It broke because you touched it
Dark light
I shine even in the dark
Who crossed the line first?
You or me?
【Verse 2】
“I used to admire you”
Those words
Turn into blades across my throat
Compared, defeated
Even the reason you cried
Don’t pin it on me
I only flickered
If that’s enough
To call it theft
Then fine
【Pre-Chorus 2】
Trying to tame the light
That’s pure arrogance
Carry the darkness inside
And don’t touch me
Go on, stay there
And watch, while you’re still intact
【Chorus 2】
Dark light
Dreams burn when they get too close
I don’t know
I didn’t take anything
Dark light
I shine even in the dark
This voice alone
Can’t be erased
【Bridge｜Shout】
Don’t call me your idol
Don’t dress me as a god
Your prayers, your envy
I never chose
This place
Or this voice
【Final Chorus】
Dark light
Dreams burn when they get too close
Even so, I won’t disappear
Burn me down
I only knew
How to sing
Dark light
I shine even in the dark
What you were looking up at
Was never me
【Outro｜Quiet】
You weren’t looking at me
You were staring at yourself
