don't decide

This track is a profound blues song that uses a heavy, gritty sound to depict the structural sin of "postponing problems" during Japan's "Lost Thirty Years" (Heisei Era) and the anger and emptiness felt by the generation forced to pay the price. The title is the straightforward "Heisei Midnight Blues."

Beginning with the lyrical image of ice melting in a glass and a century's worth of time passing, the song launches into a stinging interrogation of past leaders who chose immediate comfort at the expense of the future. It focuses on the "cowardice" and "guilt" of the "captains" who partied on the deck, knowing the ship was sinking, whispering, "The next generation will fix it."

The desperate question, "Ah, tell me, how did it feel to not make a decision?," serves as a judgment on the generation that looked the other way. The emotional guitar solo expresses the layered despair and the sound of the "rusted chains" that still bind the present.

The outro's line, "We're still singing your blues," is a quiet declaration of resolve from the current generation: they inherit the negative legacy but resist and seek awakening by continuing to sing the truth of their reality.
