Lyric

Mate Shibashi

kneeking Records

待て暫し 風が止むまで

迷いながら 人は進む

五万の語釈を 背負ったままで

笑いながら 罪を知る

マナは宿る 石にも胸にも

幻の世を 夢と呼びながら

学びて思えば 道は近く

遠く探して また帰る

水を得た魚のように

心はまだ泳ぎたがる

手にした夢も 水の泡

それでも また手を伸ばす

待て暫し 旅は続く

汚れのままが 美しい

無為の日々も 意味を持ち

笑い話に 傷を隠す

密やかな夜も 蜜月も

朝になれば 遠い影

無技巧のまま 一筆書けば

最初の一枚が すべてを語る

道は近きにありと知り

それでも人は 迷い続ける

正解を捨てて また恋をする

水屋の音が 胸に残る

南へ向かい また歩き出す

すべて失い なお生きる

心に妙なる火を灯す

待て暫し 鐘は鳴る

無間の先にも 道はある

「む」を閉じれば 「め」が芽吹く

ページは終わらない

旅はまだ 終わらない

    Mate Shibashi

    kneeking Records

Quietly, beneath the sound of turning pages, the words are still breathing.

wait a while is an introspective lyrical work born from the ongoing journey through the dictionary.
Carrying countless definitions upon his back, the human being still hesitates, learns, loves, and continues to walk forward.
This universal human arc is portrayed through a soundscape filled with quiet heat.

Mana. Water. Non-action. Purity. The endless beyond.
Religion, philosophy, and bodily sensation gently intersect, gradually converging into a single aesthetic of waiting.

There is no need to hurry.
Even as we are, imperfect and stained, we are allowed to live beautifully.

Presented by Kneeking Records,
a piece that gazes into the delicate threshold between words and existence.

Artist Profile

  • kneeking Records

    Kneeking Records is an independent music label that translates The Dictionary Journey into sound. The label was founded by Yoshihiro Sato, a calligrapher, a lifelong dictionary traveler, and a former kickboxing world champion. Since 2013, Yoshihiro has been reading dictionaries one page at a time writing, reflecting, and quietly documenting each newly discovered word. In 2025, these accumulated records began to take musical form. The Dictionary Journey is an ongoing exploration. With each passing day, new words are encountered, and their traces continue to grow steadily and without end. Kneeking Records spans a wide range of genres, including Reggae, J-Pop, R&B, Soul, House, Gospel, Funk, Ska, and at times, Punk Rock. While honoring the natural rhythm of language, the label pursues sound that is both refined and deeply listenable transforming the voice descending from calligraphy into music. That is the sound of Kneeking Records.
