Lyric

City of Sand

YAMARYOOO

沈む足跡 重い足取り

地平に揺らめく陽炎

淡く移ろう 夕暮れは次第に

その身を闇色に広げて西を向く

砂丘を伝う駱駝の群れが彼方に

やがて月は明かりを等しく照らす

次の街まで どれくらいだろうか

幾度歩めばあなたに会える?

乾いた風が頬を撫で

砂を噛む心を冷まして

あぁ、ざらつくこの身を追い越してゆく

藍色のキャンバス ビロードのように

星々が煌めく夜のなか

彷徨う私には美しく映るものほど

侘しさが増すばかり

欠けた器ではこの風景も

取りこぼしてしまう寂しさに

胸を痛めて

次の街まで どれくらいだろうか

幾度歩めばあなたに会える?

乾いた風が頬を撫で

砂を噛む心を冷まして

あぁ、ざらつくこの身を追い越してゆく

This album is a pure "I-Novel," a style of Japanese literature. It is an act of driving a wedge into the present, the dawn of a life still being woven, by exposing that very state through introspective lyrics and sound. The direction of this music is the complete opposite of a world open to the masses, a kind of confessional, raw outpouring of extremely personal feelings.

However, the public is, after all, a collection of individuals other than oneself. When you focus on each person, the emotions expressed by one individual can be seen as universal. In short, personal passions can be deeply relatable depending on how you look at them.

This album is a form of "Syncretism Rock" born from the soul of a modern Japanese person.
