BURN OUT BLUE
BURN OUT BLUE
Single2025年
Notifications that won't stop, tasks that won't clear, nights you can't sleep. "BURN OUT BLUE" is a dark pop song depicting the small will to "keep living anyway," even as an overworked heart is about to burn out. Cold synth sound and a faint melody wrap around the modern loneliness lit by a blue glow (a monitor). While staying close to a tired heart, it finds light in the end—a song where you can feel a quiet kind of hope.
Lyrics (Japanese)
朝が来るたび バッテリーは減っていく
今日も同じ通知音が鳴る
「おつかれさま」のチャットの裏で
誰かの声が 静かに消えてく
曖昧な笑顔の会議室
ガラス越しの空に 息が詰まる
理想と現実の狭間で
光るカーソルが ため息を打つ
I’m burning out in shades of blue
見えない火が心を焦がす
壊れそうな夢を抱いたまま
沈黙の中で叫んでる
Don’t fade away, not today
灰の中で まだ動いてる
夜のファイル 未完のまま
数字の波に 沈むだけ
成功の定義 誰が決めた？
「好き」を言えなくなった日
スタンプ一つで済む優しさ
本音を隠す テンプレートの海
自分の声を忘れたまま
指がまた同じ言葉を並べる
I’m burning out in shades of blue
冷たい光に心が溶ける
壊れそうな夢を抱いたまま
沈黙の中で叫んでる
Don’t fade away, not today
灰の中で まだ動いてる
Slow down, breathe in
まだ終わりじゃない
燃え尽きた光の奥に
微かに灯る “I’m alive”
I’m burning out, but I’m still here
止まらない夜を照らすように
心の灰から芽吹く声
Don’t fade away, not today
もう一度、始めよう
Translation
Every morning that comes, the battery drains away
Today the same notification tone rings again
Behind the "thanks for your work" in the chat
Someone's voice is quietly fading out
A meeting room of half-hearted smiles
The sky beyond the glass, and my breath catches tight
Caught in the gap between the dream and the real
A blinking cursor types out one more sigh
I'm burning out in shades of blue
An unseen fire is scorching my heart
Still holding a dream that's about to break
I'm screaming somewhere inside the silence
Don't fade away, not today
In the middle of the ash, I'm still moving
Tonight's file, left unfinished still
Just sinking under the waves of numbers
The definition of success — who decided that?
The day I could no longer say "I love this"
A kindness settled with a single stamp
An ocean of templates hiding what I really feel
Forgetting the sound of my own true voice
My fingers line up the same words once more
I'm burning out in shades of blue
My heart dissolves in the cold blue light
Still holding a dream that's about to break
I'm screaming somewhere inside the silence
Don't fade away, not today
In the middle of the ash, I'm still moving
Slow down, breathe in
It isn't over yet
Deep within the burned-out light
A faint flicker glows, "I'm alive"
I'm burning out, but I'm still here
As if to light up this endless night
A voice that buds from the ash of my heart
Don't fade away, not today
One more time, let's begin
