Sing a song that always stays in my heart
Memories may come to haunt me
Your love will keep me safe
I will stay with you 4 ever
I will stay with you 4 ever
Sing a song that always stays in my heart
I lost myself somewhere along the way
Walking past the dead I no longer recognized
What did I do? I thought I knew
I’m just a little empty soul after all
What am I? What are they?
What is wrong? So many questions I have to ask but
Will I ever get these answers right now
No matter what I say
No one will save me here
Erasing all the memories
Am I hurting you?
Will you kill me with your love?
Just make a wish
Sing a song that always stays in my heart
Memories may come to haunt me
Your love will keep me safe
I will stay with you 4 ever
God, god please
Take me out of here or just leave me with the one
Take me out of here or just leave me with the one
No matter what I say
No one will save me here
Erasing all the memories
I am missing you
Will you drown me with your love?
Sing a song that always stays in my heart
What am I? What are they?
What is wrong? What is wrong with you?
I’ll keep you safe
(Sing a song that always stays in my heart)
I will stay with you 4 ever and ever in your heart
(Let’s go to a place
Where memories no longer haunt me
So I can be with you forever)

Four Ever
ARKTA
"Four Ever" is a song inspired by the story of a person who, despite losing her memories and struggling to understand who she truly is, discovers love through meeting someone who becomes deeply important to her. The song tells her story through ARKTA's own perspective.
The idea for the song dates back to the early days of ARKTA. We were drawn to the story of a fragile yet strong individual, the weight of her journey, and the fate she ultimately faces.
Even as her memories begin to fade, her feelings for the person she loves remain. And even after she is gone from this world, the love and emotions she leaves behind can continue to live on in someone else's heart.
These themes of memory, love, loss, and the emotions we leave behind forever deeply connect with ARKTA's ongoing exploration of life, death, and what remains after we are gone.
The title "Four Ever" carries the wish that even when a person's memories or life fade away, the love and feelings they leave behind will continue to live on in someone's heart forever.
Built around a powerful, cinematic sound, "Four Ever" explores loneliness, love, loss, and the idea of leaving something behind that can outlive us. It is a deeply personal and significant song for ARKTA.

ARKTA
ARKTA is an alternative rock project formed by Los Angeles-based Tak and Tokyo-based kenken. Drawing from nu-metal and emo, the project blends heavy band-driven sound with melodic elements and emotionally driven storytelling. Tak is based in the United States and is also active as a ring announcer for NJPW STRONG (New Japan Pro-Wrestling's U.S. events), as well as being known as the vocalist of North American project Quietude. Meanwhile, kenken is a former member of metalcore band DELHEZI and has also worked as a support guitarist for Another Story, building experience across both the Japanese and North American rock scenes. In 2021, ARKTA contributed music to NITRO CHiRAL's visual novel Slow Damage, including 'Keep Me Alive' and 'Damaging You.' Through the project, ARKTA gained attention for its music's connection to visual and narrative-driven elements. In 2022, ARKTA made its live debut at CHiRAL LIVE 2022 × Slow Damage in Tokyo, with the show selling out. The following year, the duo performed at its first festival in Los Angeles, further expanding its presence internationally. In 2024, ARKTA released its first self-produced EP, 'From Where The City Lights Burn', showcasing its DIY approach to production and continued evolution. The release was followed by a Japan tour, establishing ARKTA's presence as a live act. In 2025, ARKTA released its second EP, 'As Oneself'. Building on the balance between aggression and melody, the release expanded the project's sound into a more cinematic and introspective territory. The accompanying Japan tour included appearances at Tokyo Calling, In The Family Fest, and Hiroshima Super DX, further strengthening ARKTA's presence as a live-driven project. Moving beyond conventional boundaries of country and genre, ARKTA continues to build its own world through music, visual elements, and storytelling. In 2026, the duo performed at 'THE CHiRAL NIGHT' at Omiya Sonic City and held its first one-man concert at CLUB MALCOLM in Shibuya, Tokyo. The show sold out and was met with an enthusiastic response. On September 30, 2026, ARKTA will release its debut full-length album, The Untold Story of Someone, bringing together six years of the project's music and creative journey.
