Fate's Choice

STORY

Opening with a dissonance that slices through the dark, a beat synced to your heartbeat urges you to take a step. "Fate's Choice" follows a protagonist standing at a crossroads, wavering between "go forward" and "turn back," yet the small flame deep in their chest grows stronger with each decision.

Featuring darkly glittering synths, a cinematically rising arc, and a chorus reaching toward the light, it is a story of turning pain into strength and pressing forward toward the light of hope. It is a song that invites you to seize the small light shining into a maze-like night.

Translation

暗闇を切り裂くような不協和音から始まるIt starts with a dissonance that tears the darkness apart

影の中で運命が揺れるIn the shadows, fate begins to sway

交差点に立ち尽くす僕I stand frozen at the crossing of two roads

二つの声が囁いてるTwo voices are whispering deep inside

「進め」と「戻れ」の狭間でCaught between "go forward" and "turn back"

心の羅針盤が震えてるThe compass of my heart is trembling now

選び取ったその一瞬がThat single instant when I made my choice

未来を変える刃となるBecomes the blade that reshapes what's to come

逃げられない選択の檻でLocked in a cage of choices I can't escape

答えを探しているI'm searching for an answer

運命の選択 この胸を焦がすFate's choice, it sets this chest of mine ablaze

引き返せない夜の扉A door of night I never can reopen

影と光が交錯するWhere shadow and light keep crossing through each other

選ぶたび 僕は僕を失うEach time I choose, I lose a part of me

偽りの笑顔に惑わされDeceived and lured by smiles that aren't real

真実は闇に沈んでくThe truth keeps sinking down into the dark

誰も知らないルールの中でInside a set of rules that no one knows

試されるのは信じる勇気What's put to the test is the courage to believe

背を向けたら消えるだろうIf I turn my back, it will all fade away

手を伸ばせば壊れるだろうIf I reach out my hand, it all will break

それでも僕は進むしかないAnd even so, the only way is forward

終わらない迷路の中でLost inside this never-ending maze

運命の選択 声を張り裂けてFate's choice, I cry out with all my voice

切り捨てられぬ夢を抱くI hold the dream I cannot cast aside

希望と絶望を抱きしめてEmbracing hope and hopelessness together

この道を選び続けるI keep on choosing this same road of mine

涙も嘘も 全て飲み込んでSwallowing every tear and every lie

最後に残るのはひとつの答えWhat's left at the very end is one true answer

振り返らずに 進めと叫ぶWithout looking back, I scream to keep on going

僕の鼓動が証明になるThe beating of my heart becomes the proof

運命の選択 その刹那を生きるFate's choice, I live within that fleeting instant

決して戻れない舞台の上Upon a stage I never can step back from

影の中で光を掴むIn the shadows, I close my hand around the light

選んだ道が 真実になるThe road I chose becomes the truth at last

静寂に吸い込まれるようにAs if I'm being drawn into the silence

選択の扉は閉じていくThe door of choice is slowly closing shut
