STORY

A story of gathering the shattered fragments of a dream and choosing, once again, to keep living. This song is an emotional dark pop ballad depicting a heart wavering between dream and reality. Cold memories, a warping world, and a night where past and future entwine. And yet, the melody played by those shards of memory slowly releases the chains that bind you. Embracing both light and shadow, standing on a crumbling borderline, one still wants to believe in someone. The final answer reached is a simple, powerful word: "Live."

It is a song that resonates deeply with anyone seeking to move forward through pain.

Lyrics (Japanese)

Translation

砕けた夢の破片を拾い集めGathering up the fragments of a shattered dream

指先から零れる冷たい記憶Cold memories slip through my fingertips

歩き出せば霞む現実と幻As I walk, reality and illusion blur

誰も知らない真実の影The shadow of a truth that no one knows

閉じた瞳に浮かぶ輪郭A silhouette rises behind closed eyes

声にならない囁きが導くA whisper that cannot form into a voice leads me on

闇を裂いて 揺れる心Tearing through the dark, a trembling heart

運命はひとつに縛れないFate cannot be bound to a single thread

夢と現実の狭間でIn the narrow space between dream and reality

まだ答えを探しているI am still searching for the answer

触れ合うたびに歪んでゆく世界The world warps every time we touch

過去と未来が絡み合う夜A night where the past and future entwine

囚われた想いは出口を求めTrapped emotions search for an exit

儚さの中で生まれる衝動An impulse born in the midst of transience

記憶のかけらが歌う旋律A melody sung by the shards of memory

私を縛る鎖を解き放つReleasing the chains that bind me

光と影を抱きしめてEmbracing both light and shadow

真実は痛みを超えてThe truth rises beyond the pain

崩れそうな境界線でOn a borderline about to crumble

あなたをまだ信じたいI still want to believe in you

砕け散る破片はThe fragments that shatter and scatter

未来への道標になるWill become guideposts to the future

幻を越えてたどり着くReaching past the illusion

新しい夜明けへToward a brand-new dawn

闇を裂いて 揺れる心Tearing through the dark, a trembling heart

運命はひとつに縛れないFate cannot be bound to a single thread

夢と現実の狭間でIn the narrow space between dream and reality

見つけ出す答えは「生きる」ことThe answer I find is 'to live'
