Lyric

The Old Van

Metropolis

ねえ旅に出ようか 知らない世界へ

Hey, shall we go on a journey? To a world we've never known

空は星が満ち 流れようとする

The sky fills with stars, ready to flow

古いバンを買い 気ままに行くのさ

Let’s buy an old van and travel freely

少し怖いけど どうにかなるだろう

It’s a bit scary, but we’ll manage somehow

ああ当分 友達には会えないだろう

We probably won’t see our friends for a while

そうしばらく ここに帰るつもりは無いよ

We don’t plan on coming back anytime soon

さあもう出発だ!

Alright, let’s hit the road!

君と俺がいれば

As long as we’re together

深い雪の日もきっと暖かい

Even snowy days will feel warm

深い雪の日を 古いバンが行く

The old van drives through deep snow

二人で景色を眺めて進もう

Let’s gaze at the scenery together and move forward

ああ世界は美しいものであふれて

Ah, the world overflows with beautiful things

想い出はきっと誰かと作るもの

Memories are made with someone special

長いこの旅で何が出来るのかな

What will we achieve on this long journey?

君が指を指す その先に夕日

You point ahead—there, the sunset glows

    Metropolis

This is the debut collection by Metropolis, a home-recording musician based in Japan.
Every track was created entirely at home using only a PC and real instruments.

The album title "Cyberpunk" reflects two sides of the sound:
the digital tones of DTM represent "Cyber,"
while the live performances express the raw energy of "Punk."

From warm acoustic textures to cold electronic beats,
this album weaves a unique soundscape that truly captures the essence of "Cyberpunk."

Take a listen-and experience the world of Metropolis.

Artist Profile

  • Metropolis

    Metropolis is a Japan-based home-recording musician known for blending acoustic instruments with electronic sounds to create a genre-defying sonic experience. All tracks are self-produced -written, composed, arranged, and recorded entirely using a personal computer and home studio setup. The debut album "Cyberpunk" explores a dreamlike world, layering the warmth of acoustic textures with the chill of digital tones - like a city at night, glowing in neon. The artist name "Metropolis" reflects the contrast between light and shadow, analog and digital, and the surreal in everyday life. Metropolis creates music to quietly accompany someone's daily life - sounds that stay close to the listener's heart.
