BURN OUT BLUE

Single2025.11.15

STORY

Constant notifications, endless tasks, and sleepless nights.

"BURN OUT BLUE" is a dark pop track depicting the small, resilient will to keep living even when an overworked heart is on the verge of burnout.

The modern isolation of being illuminated by a monitor's blue glow is wrapped in cold synth pads and a delicate melody. Staying close to a tired heart, the song finds light in the end—a track that lets you feel a quiet hope.

Lyrics (Japanese)

Translation

朝が来るたび バッテリーは減っていくEvery morning that comes, the battery drains away

今日も同じ通知音が鳴るToday, the same notification tone rings again

「おつかれさま」のチャットの裏でBehind the 'good work' in the chat

誰かの声が 静かに消えてくSomeone's voice is quietly fading out

曖昧な笑顔の会議室A meeting room of half-hearted smiles

ガラス越しの空に 息が詰まるThe sky beyond the glass, my breath catches tight

理想と現実の狭間でCaught in the gap between the dream and the real

光るカーソルが ため息を打つA blinking cursor types out one more sigh

I’m burning out in shades of blueI'm burning out in shades of blue

見えない火が心を焦がすAn unseen fire is scorching my heart

壊れそうな夢を抱いたままStill holding a dream that's about to break

沈黙の中で叫んでるI'm screaming inside the silence

Don’t fade away, not todayDon't fade away, not today

灰の中で まだ動いてるIn the middle of the ash, I'm still moving

夜のファイル 未完のままTonight's file, left unfinished

数字の波に 沈むだけJust sinking under the waves of numbers

成功の定義 誰が決めた?The definition of success—who decided that?

「好き」を言えなくなった日The day I could no longer say 'I love this'

スタンプ一つで済む優しさKindness settled with a single stamp

本音を隠す テンプレートの海An ocean of templates hiding what I really feel

自分の声を忘れたままForgetting the sound of my own voice

指がまた同じ言葉を並べるMy fingers line up the same words once more

I’m burning out in shades of blueI'm burning out in shades of blue

冷たい光に心が溶けるMy heart dissolves in the cold light

壊れそうな夢を抱いたままStill holding a dream that's about to break

沈黙の中で叫んでるI'm screaming inside the silence

Don’t fade away, not todayDon't fade away, not today

灰の中で まだ動いてるIn the middle of the ash, I'm still moving

Slow down, breathe inSlow down, breathe in

まだ終わりじゃないIt isn't over yet

燃え尽きた光の奥にDeep within the burned-out light

微かに灯る “I’m alive”A faint flicker glows, 'I'm alive'

I’m burning out, but I’m still hereI'm burning out, but I'm still here

止まらない夜を照らすようにAs if to light up this endless night

心の灰から芽吹く声A voice that buds from the ash of my heart

Don’t fade away, not todayDon't fade away, not today

もう一度、始めようOne more time, let's begin
