Lyric

HALO

ruca, Jeff Loik

Running fingers through my messy hair

Laundry dancing in the air

目覚まし ringing non stop

思い出す記憶 my heart goes drop

Still make no sense

君は突然

消えたmid night train

あれが終着点?

Make it make sense

あれは必然?

Gotta call it the end

We’re on 平行線

Halo halo fades away

Still growing in my brain

Echoes through the rain

Calling me again

Tangled earphones on the floor

Why am I still waiting at the door

Empty flower pot on the window pane

雨の中連れ去ってよblue long train

Still makes no sense

君は突然

消えたmid night train

あれが終着点?

Make it make sense

あれは必然?

Gotta call it the end

We’re on 平行線

Halo halo fades away

Still growing in my brain

Echoes through the rain

Calling me again

Can someone heal me

I am falling slowly, deeply

Can someone heal me

Every morning feels so empty

Can someone heal me

I am falling slowly, deeply

Can someone heal me

Every morning feels so empty

    HALO

    ruca, Jeff Loik

nook is the new EP from ruca.

Blending Japanese and English with effortless ease, the five-track project draws from bossa nova, R&B, and indie pop, capturing the quiet emotions and fleeting moments hidden within everyday life.

From the gentle rush of seeing the familiar world through new eyes in m A g i C to the lingering echoes of loss in HALO, each song explores a different shade of emotion while leading back to a single place of comfort.

The title nook refers to a small, cozy corner, a place where you can simply exist.

A place to pause. A place to breathe. A place to come back to.
