真夜中に自分の音だけ そのまま歩くだけで
振り返ることはしない 誰かの出来ない理由に
侵されないよう すっと空を見てる
時々は欲しがることも あれこれ考えても
やり直しはきかない どんな理由をつけたって
この右足を踏み出して 進むだけ
夜は優しく世界を包み込む
まるでひとり取り残されたように
輝いて 眩しくて 見下ろしている
今すぐオリオンを撃て
心の引き金に指をかけて
撃たれる覚悟が無いのなら
このまま あいつの言いなりだ
今すぐオリオンを撃て
たとえ届かないほど遠くても
指先であの星を捉えたなら
自分の心を込めて
Hit Orion now,shoot Orion right now
今すぐオリオンを撃て
心の引き金に指をかけて
撃たれる覚悟が無いのなら
このまま あいつの言いなりだ
今すぐオリオンを撃て
たとえ届かないほど遠くても
指先であの星を捉えたなら
自分の心を込めて
Hit Orion now,shoot Orion right now
The night gently embraces the world, as if I've been left alone, shining brightly and looking down
Hit Orion now,shoot Orion right now

Shoot Orion
westman8
Yohei Nishi, a member of the pop band "balconny" based in Fukuoka Prefecture, will begin his solo career as "westman8" in 2025. He is currently distributing songs created using music generation AI, and has released his eighth single, "Shoot Orion".
The theme of this song is "revolution", and I think that everyone is trapped in something, and even if they think that they can't continue like this, they end up just leaving it as it is. It's actually easy to get out of that, and I personally think that if you are prepared to lose, you can fight properly. I have softened these feelings a little by putting them on a stylish sound and having a cute female vocalist sing it. I hope it will give you courage. By the way, there is no particular meaning to shooting "Orion". I often like to look at the winter sky, and I added this phrase because I like to point at Orion and make a gesture as if I'm shooting it. There is no particular deep meaning.
