Lyric

Sand Castle Prayer

raruminn

雨が窓を叩く音だけ

途切れた未来を数える時計

幼い日の夢はどこへ

掌から零れ落ちた砂

何度も立ち上がろうとしても

膝をつく度見えない鎖

頑張れなんて響かない

世界はただ通り過ぎる

胸に抱えた絶望の影

失くしたもの重すぎて

凍えた心に問いかける

この痛みが生きた証

冷たい社会の隅で

震える孤独でもいい

きっと夜明けは来ると

砂の城で祈る

ニュースの光眩しいだけ

私は影のように溶ける

期待なんて捨て去った

諦めのコート纏う

ガラス越しの他人の幸せ

羨むことにも疲れた

誰も私を理解しなくていい

ただ静かに傷を撫でる

胸に抱えた絶望の影

失くしたもの重すぎて

凍えた心に問いかける

この痛みが生きた証

冷たい社会の隅で

震える孤独でもいい

きっと夜明けは来ると

砂の城で祈る

道標なんて要らない

迷ってもいいんだよ

壊れた私のままで

ここが居場所なの

胸に抱えた絶望の影

貴方だけは知っていて

凍えた心に問いかける

この痛みが生きた証

冷たい社会の隅で

震える孤独でもいい

私たちは一人じゃない

砂の城で祈る

    Sand Castle Prayer

    raruminn

"Sand Castle Prayer" is a ballad/message song that realistically depicts the coldness and unfulfilled loneliness of modern society, while strongly longing for the "proof of life" and "hope" that certainly exist amidst despair.

The sound of rain tapping against the window, sand spilling from the palm of one's hand, a world where words like "hang in there" don't resonate. This song poignantly portrays the "I" who kneels in the face of this harsh reality and carries the "shadow of despair" in his heart.

In particular, the chorus's lines "This pain is proof I'm alive," and "Even if I tremble alone in the corner of a cold society, I'll pray in my sand castle, knowing that dawn will surely come" symbolize the flame of prayer, as fleeting as a fragile sandcastle, yet never extinguished.

In the final chorus, the lonely "I" discovers the presence of "you," elevating the message of hope to "we are not alone."
Song Highlights:
Relatable lyrics that frankly describe loneliness and pain.
[Please describe the specific sound characteristics of the song. Examples: a moving melody line, powerful yet delicate vocals, dramatic string arrangements, etc.]

True strength and healing can be found in accepting that "this is where I belong, even as I am, broken."

Artist Comment
[Rarumin] shared the thoughts she put into the song.

"Sand Castle Prayer" is a song that expresses the helplessness and loneliness I once felt. Even if no one understands me, even if no one tells me to do my best, I believe that pain itself is proof of life, and I continue to build a little hope (sand castle prayer). I hope this song can be a quiet place where you can feel "not alone" if you're currently hitting a wall or feeling lonely.
