【beat】

A black wilderness stretches before me, no sign of anything you’d call a path
I look back, and my friend’s face shrinks into the distance—you’re still going?
In my bag, bread, cheese, and a postcard from a strange land 
Even if loneliness taps me on the shoulder, I won’t look back
How many million feet did we run? This journey of ours

 

Forever young 
Hundreds of millions of falling stars, the thirst in my throat
Forever young 

 

The dawn I saw in Calcutta 
The plants and flowers whose names I didn’t know 
I stopped at the station during a sudden squall
Memories are such a pain  
The more you run, the more they chase you, you know
Forget them, and you’re sad you forgot…what a drag, what a drag

 

I thought north was forward
I thought east was forward 
I thought west was forward 
We fly, each toward our own horizon 

 

If we happen to meet someday at a turn in the road, let’s share the poems we’ve learned and raise a toast
Crossroads friend, adieu, today we set off 

 

Forever young 
Stars raining by the millions, back to square one
Forever young

 

【Amrita】

a
i 
before life 
red blood 
daybreak 
a new
song i knit for you
amrita
 
a 
now 
sing 
eureka 
a rain of sound 
the wind’s awakening 
mouth, move  now  to the limit of your voice

 

There is too much I don’t want to see, I don’t want to hear
I turned my switch off 
I also realized I lost my heart, but
I’m too tired to find it 
Recently, the darkness blinds me 
Alone in my room, the quietness is deafening 

 

From the water’s floor, in a city sunk below, the fireworks I watch are
A dark grey, a fake color 
I’m so tired of the curse of 
Having to be true to myself 
Hold your breath, learn to breathe
Learn a new breath  

 

A
I
Before life
Red blood 
Daybreak
A new Song
I knit for you Amrita 
A
Now
Sing
Eureka 
A rain of sound
The wind’s awakening 
Mouth, move to the limit of your voice

 

Someone was piling rocks on the riverbank 
Borrowing wisdom from the great river called music to face down silence
Eventually, we will return to a garden paved with silence
Before that, this sensibility we have left, what will we use it all up for? Amrita here.
Hey, Mahito, can you hear me? 
You have a voice, don’t you? You should use it. You should shake your entire body and turn up the love volume 
Fill the eardrums of those who sneer that ‘life isn’t sweet’ with deafening hope 
Recently, a child was born to Eagle 
A little girl shares blood with him  
I bet she’ll be a tomboy
Sandcastles in the park. Turning on the tap. The blue sky I gazed up at. A future that fighter jets stride across. How am I supposed to explain that?
“See that plane? It’s going to kill people.” 
Voice! Heat the courage still frozen in the depths of the mind
Heart! Pump true, and activate this body rising to its feet
Imagination! Be the compass for us who’ve lost our magnetic field

 

C’mon, Amrita 
Be the tailwind 
For those still on a journey of the senses   

 

A
I 
BEFORE LIFE  
RED BLOOD 
DAYBREAK 
A NEW 
SONG I KNIT FOR YOU 
AMRITA 

 

A 
NOW
SING
EUREKA
A RAIN OF SOUND 
THE WIND’S AWAKENING 
MOUTH MOVE TO THE LIMIT OF YOUR VOICE 

 

surrender, forgiveness, bewilderment, strange 
trace, forget, where the light is 
i can laugh, i can get mad, i can run, i can fall 
unravel, sacred place, re-al, amrita 
distorted, secret, crack, repeats 
understanding, fight, warm, love 
live, i want to live, i want to see, i want to know 
the sky is blue, re-al, amrita  

 

【TRANSIT】

Ah ah ah ah ah, now, perhaps this is freedom?
My body starts up, little by little, the air grows warm 
No gravity, no promises, my limbs, left and right, wash the wind 
So this is that thing called freedom? 

 

Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, now, there’s nothing that binds you
The song melts the ice, you start to walk  
Love and all that, normality and all that, dreams, now I think I can believe in them 
So this is that thing called freedom?

 

Freedom, freedom, freedom

 

【HAPPY HIPPIE】

Don’t rush, don’t hurry, don’t run, don’t get frustrated 
Don’t win, don’t strike back, but don’t give up either  
Don’t rush, don’t hurry, don’t run, don’t get frustrated 
I KNOW HOW NOW　I KNOW HOW NOW

 

I came here to rise to a higher plane with you 
Shall we first sign a contract? 
My days are a total wreck, but  
These few minutes, 
Are completely VERY REAL, dead serious 

 

And on top of that, I’ll say it, love really did exist, right?
With your own eyes and hands, you caught it
Losing it, you realize: you understood from the start, didn’t you?
That time is now 

 

We pooled our love into a bonfire and survived that winter, didn’t we?
Everyone held their breath 
Stomping the fuzz pedal, feeding the fire, to you who are high on soul
I’m probably, no, surely, a kindred spirit 

In the crack between dimensions, a honed intuition is telling your melancholy
The rain should stop before long 
We will meet again in a sunny future 
You will laugh again 

 

I scored too low on the grown-up scale, a failing-grade life, but
I was happy because I met you
My fast-living brothers who crossed into heaven
If we meet again, let’s raise a glass 
I’ve still got things to do

 

【Memoria】

When I closed my eyes, an invisible power surged forth from behind my chest 
All the moments and people I touched, outlines dissolving, the door to the place where they wait  
Should I knock and call out their names? 
Memoria 

 

Life flashing before my eyes at high speed, an earring dropped through the rift in space-time 
A person I can’t meet with open eyes, the magic of meeting them when I close them 
Shall this song gently push you forward? 
Memoria 

A hundred million light-years of beginnings and endings, and the needle and thread that sew them 
I can’t remember at all, yet I remember everything 
And the moral of the story is: in a sea of electrons where premonitions surface, the story continues 

A hundred million light-years of goodbyes and graffitied dates, 
I made them into the elemental symbol for love and tucked it into my chest 
The memories I’ll meet in the future and the orbit of stars until now  
The halfway point is here (the present) 
Memoria

 

【SUJI】

I’ll start with the conclusion: I want to live, despite it all 
With this mouth that grumbles when I let my guard down 
Let me sing freedom 

 

When? Now 
Where? Here
What? The soul speaks 

 

Cells, particles, the volume of love, a list of miracles, all the glittering moves, load it all in and fire 
Electrical Guitar, the feeling of lightning, splitting dimensions vertically
Damned!
There’s only one intuition you can use, don’t slice it all up, fire 
Yeah!

 

All the peopleee I’ve met until nowww
The peoplee liningggg up in the future 
To alllllll of them, I offer a blessing of eureka

 

You won’t lose anythinggggg, the futurefuturefuture contains the past
In a world that just gets bigger, I collect beautiful poetry 
This thing called rock ‘n roll will carry them forward  

Electrical Guitar, the feeling of lightning, splitting dimensions vertically 
Damned!
To the loneliness with no address, with the eyes of a rabbit staring back  
Yeah!

 

DIVE, until your name disappears 
DIVE, to the deepest depths of consciousness 
Swim, deceive gravity 
HEBE, kiss chaos 
GO 

 

I’ll start with the conclusion: there’s no answer to living 
That’s why you have to create value, in this second, here, with this crew 
The world is quite a mess, but I gather love, double, double, double
Hit a computer, and it just breaks, but guitar, drums, bass, they distort beautifully

 

Electrical Guitar, the feeling of lightning, splitting dimensions vertically 
Damned! 
The story that all dreams come true becomes a wind at your back
Yeah! 

 

【HOWL】

My birthday never arrives, before a delayed dawn 
The collar of memory is yellowing and stained
I forgot the password; I stuck my chewed gum on the doorknob that won’t let me in 

 

The crumbled tower of ethics, drool dripping from a stray dog
A disease covered up at all costs, the kingdom is burning 
You of today, who feels this madness 
Go on, destroy the safety zone 

 

In this wounded age, you, wrapped in the infirmary sheets  
I’m coming to get you in a glass airplane 
In the courtyard where celestial bodies are kept 
Teach me how to spell hope
How to spell hope 

 

We who slept a thousand years must have seen a thousand dreams 
The highest Hz of the mind shakes the world’s speakers 

 

【BEST DAY EVER】

BEST DAY EVER 
Goodbye, all stories, the dawn has come 
The god I couldn’t make peace with, the nightmare that won’t stop rolling
Every war, bye-bye  

 

Goodbye, it’s the same old normal temperature, the cold soup
The sighs that served their purpose, the promises left unfulfilled
All the frequencies, bye-bye

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEW ME 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEW YOU 
When we finally reach the memories that were promised
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEW WORLD 

 

Goodbye, farce of the 21st century, the movie called ‘Our Times’
A friend who leaves before the credits roll, and a low-res summer 
Today is the birthday of when the rest of my life began 

 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEW ME 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEW YOU 
Fate, you’re late, sorry, but step aside
HAPPY BIRTHDAY  NEW WORLD

 

BEST DAY EVER! 

 

LOVE at last I locked eyes with love 
LOVE at last I learned the meaning of love 
LOVE at last falling in falling in 
LOVE at last I’m so glad I met you 

 

Good morning, all you stories  
Good morning, all you stories

 

【Premonition】

The morning I first understood the wind 
Everything I touched was brand new 
It felt like thawing snow 

 

Don’t seek, be found by fate 
Fingertips, questioning prayer 
The reason I love songs 

 

Be transparent, chaos, the lead weight in my chest 
I kick the cymbal of the sun 
In brand new shoes 

 

Wrapped in the dawn, I set off on a journey 
A city I don’t know, windows I don’t know 
A new me 

 

Everything catches up to premonition, a boat rowing out with the image
Now, I’m free, let’s start all the zero-gravities 
All the zero gravities. It’ll be alright.

 

Even when I wake, let me remember: I pinned down love’s true form 
Last waltz, even if the needle skips, let’s dance, we were born, after all 
Amrita Hallelujah Memoria JUST LOVE
Amrita Hallelujah Memoria JUST LOVE

 

On the pier of a sad world, you were on the opposite shore 
Look, you laughed! Let’s start from the start, over and over 
All beginnings, It’ll be alright.
