I had a map but the ink ran dry
North was south and the stars went shy
Every step felt like a lie
Oh why
The trees they whispered secrets low
But I forgot which way to go
My broken compass spins around
Lost and found
Lost and found
Chasing echoes through the ground
My broken compass spins around
The river laughed and pulled me in
Its current thick like forgotten sin
But I swam till I felt my skin
Grow thin
The wind it howled
A voice unknown
But still I walked this road alone
My broken compass spins around
Lost and found
Lost and found
Chasing echoes through the ground
My broken compass spins around

Title: BROKEN COMPASS
Genre: Folk / Alternative
Lyrics & Music: Tetsuhide
"The map has blurred, the compass is broken. Still, I keep walking."
A folk ballad that traces lost memories and wavering emotions through gentle guitar and poetic lyrics.
Motifs of nature-forests, rivers, and wind-symbolize both confusion and hope.
The refrain "Lost and found" echoes in the listener's heart like a distant call.
Set against the backdrop of Gifu's landscapes and philosophical reflections, this song is a gift to modern-day wanderers.
