世界だけが 無情に進む

【English】
Intro – Temple bell + Reverse piano SE, Taiko low hits, Drone synth
As always, I was just playing
The air grows stagnant, the wind comes to a halt…
Verse 1 – Shamisen riff + Glockenspiel + Whisper vocal, low strings
An unfamiliar voice echoes through
The world before me turns to darkness
The calling voice never reaches
Alone in the world, frozen in place
Pre-Chorus – Eerie chorus (whispers + reversed piano SE) + Shakuhachi phrase
The moon I look up to glows pale blue
Trapping me, laughing at me
Chorus – Distorted guitar + Full strings orchestra + Taiko + Childlike choir + Drone synth
Chorus – Distorted guitar + Full strings orchestra + Taiko + Childlike choir + Drone synth
Among people, I am transparent
Loneliness alone sits beside me
An unstoppable shadow, a heart that’s stilled
Only the world moves on, mercilessly
Verse 2 – Shamisen riff + Dark piano + Whispered vocal + Glockenspiel accents
The lights of home show unfamiliar faces
No one calls my name
In the photo on the wall, a childish day
But the one there isn’t me
Pre-Chorus – Chorus layering + Reverse sound effects + Shakuhachi + Distant whispers
Pre-Chorus – Chorus layering + Reverse sound effects + Shakuhachi + Distant whispers
Being forgotten, that’s the certain truth
Even if I raise my voice, it doesn’t reach
Chorus – Distorted guitar + Orchestra strings + Taiko + Shinobue + Layered choir + Drone synth
Chorus – Distorted guitar + Orchestra strings + Taiko + Shinobue + Layered choir + Drone synth
Laughter echoes all around
Yet I don’t exist in that place
Cold time digs its claws into me
Still a child, forever sealed away
Bridge – Chant-like chorus + Taiko + Low strings + Reverse piano SE + Spoken word whisper
Bridge – Chant-like chorus + Taiko + Low strings + Reverse piano SE + Spoken word whisper
(spoken word, whispering, childlike cry)
“Hey, I’m right here…
Why can’t you see me…?
Don’t leave me behind…!”
Final Chorus – Full band explosion: Distorted guitars, Orchestra, Taiko, Shakuhachi, Childlike choir, Drone synth
Final Chorus – Full band explosion: Distorted guitars, Orchestra, Taiko, Shakuhachi, Childlike choir, Drone synth
Even if the world changes, even if dawn breaks
I remain here, unchanged
At the edge of loneliness, my voice grows hoarse
Living as a shadow, forever a child
Outro – Koto solo
That day changed everything…
That day left me unchanged…
That day changed the world…
Leaving me behind, stealing the world from me…
