Lyric

Et in Arcadia ego

aruga

Everyone laughed at me

I was 16 years old floating in my tears

I always thought about dying before

You picked up the pieces of my life

We had a world just the two of us

I felt like we could build castle in the sky

We used to dance all night long

And I knew the smell of cigarettes for the first time

We had nothing we could call home

We were making plans to leave this fucking town

You never scoffed at the dreams I told

And just looked up at the stars

The day you left without me

Then this world was swallowed up in gray

I’m chasing light of your insides

My minds are troubled by the dark

I’m just a silhouette

Everyone laughed at me

The stranger girl said

You’re the lucky one

Cause you’re still breathing

We are the wild youth

I kissed her for the first time on that night

When I close my eyes my dirty lungs heaved

The weight of my brain caused heat

Horizon dyed red

I’m walking on the line

The day you left without me

Then this world was swallowed up in gray

I’m chasing light of your insides

My minds are troubled by the dark

But words you left brightened me up

I’m just your silhouette

    E

Third single "Et in Arcadia ego" to be released in August 2023.
Unlike the previous album, which was completely self-produced, this album was mixed and mastered by Kensei Ogata and recorded at STUDIO CRUSOE in Tokyo.
The album artwork was done by Morisakorisa, an oil painter who is currently an art student, as in the previous album.
This work is a delicate and cruel depiction of sensitive adolescence, which is often depicted beautifully, in the manner of aruga.
The title, "Et in Arcadia ego," is an oil painting by the 17th century painter Nicolas Poussin, which inspired the creation of this work.
This work also incorporates a shoegaze sound and skillfully incorporates lyrical melodies and storytelling lyrics into the world of the music.
The band has garnered increasing attention through their appearance at last year's Ringo Music Festival, playlists, and a series of single releases, and now a music video for the song, a first for aruga, is scheduled to be released on YouTube.
