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

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.
