Lyric

Before the Dawn

Metropolis

朝陽のない街を駆け抜ける

Running through a city without sunrise

まだここに誰一人いない

No one is here yet

星空はオレンジに染まって見上げても何も映らないよ

The starry sky turns orange—look up and nothing is reflected

まだ鳥も目覚めてはいない

Even birds haven’t awakened yet

だから街に何も音は無い

So the city is silent

感じるのは いつか受け入れる 歓声とライトの輝き

All I feel is the future roar of applause and brilliant lights

走れ!夜明け前の街を 走れ!前を向け

Run! Through the city before dawn—run! Face forward

今はまだ孤独だとしても いつか君は輝けるよ

Even if you’re alone now—you’ll shine someday

夢がかなうかそれは分からない だけど進まなきゃ何も変わらない

Whether dreams come true or not—nothing changes unless you move

闇の中 光を探さずに 自らが輝き始めよう

Don’t seek the light in darkness—start shining on your own

光れ! 自分の力で道を切り開け 君の持つ

Shine! Forge your own path with your strength

その輝きがいつか人を結び付けるだろう

That light of yours will someday connect people

聞こえるだろう 君の後ろから 君に届く声援の音を

You hear it, right? The cheers reaching you from behind

振り向くなよ 前だけを向いて その音を聞くだけでいいよ

Don’t turn back—just look ahead and listen

進め! その声を聴いて 力振り絞れ

Go forward! Draw strength from those voices

誰か言う 諦めの言葉は君に届きはしないさ

Words of giving up won’t reach you

叩け! もう一度立ち上がれ 道を切り開け

Strike! Rise again—pave your way

舞台の上 そこが空っぽでも 君はもう一人じゃないさ

Even if the stage is empty—you’re no longer alone

    Metropolis

This is the debut collection by Metropolis, a home-recording musician based in Japan.

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.
