Lyric

Drift and Drag

YAMARYOOO

沈みゆく刹那の色彩に

従うよう私は

橙と紫に心を打たれて

明くる日に向く家路の最中で

ゆくりなくも私は

止めどなく溢れる焦燥に駆られて

満ち足りた様相の人々と

街中の喧騒に一抹の不安を覚える

この想いに今、名をつけて

夜が落ちる 言葉もなく

藍色に染まる空に憂いを覚えてまたひとつ

時計の針が急かす そうしてまた

引き戻される日常に

繰り返される日々の演目に

飽きが来れど草木は

色付き始め鮮やかな色に染まる

歩を散らし巡る思考のなか

未だ解は得られず

堂々巡りの果てに足は止まって

幾度も歌を歌えども

向かい風に吹かれては

言葉もなく消える

泡沫のような曖昧な焦燥

声は掠れ 言葉にならず

月へ吠える野良犬に

自身を重ね

夜に落ちた 言葉を探し

漆黒に染まる空に憂いを覚えてまたふたつ

時計の針が急かす そうしてまた

引き戻される日常に

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.
