Running on the rails they laid for me
Finding comfort in tomorrow's guarantee
Fragments of a dream, all covered in rust
Pretending not to see, as it all turns to dust
Then out the window, a ship in the storm I saw
Sailing so recklessly, laughing at it all
So which side am I on now? At the end of this road
A place where stability and freedom cross
The sound of hard rain beating on my soul
Still swaying, still swaying
Just as I'd grown used to the weight of the chains
I only got better at excuses to avoid the pain
Telling myself, "This is reality"
But the beast I thought I'd tamed begins to ache inside of me
Covered in mud, they still reached for a rainbow
The look in their eyes is burned in me, won't let go
So which side am I on now? At the end of this road
A place where the light and the shadow cross
The sound of hard rain beating on my soul
Still swaying, still swaying
Is this fire burning in my chest just a fake?
Or is it simply not done burning yet...?
Which side are YOU on now!? At the end of this road
The light or the shadow, which one will you choose!?
The sound of thunder that shakes my very soul
There's no turning back, no turning back now
Swaying... and fading

Scales (English ver.)
koutAI
The album "Edge of Illusion" is a concept album that chronicles a profound quest for the soul, beginning with the collapse of self-identity. Through an intense soundscape blending alternative rock, post-hardcore, and heavy metal, it expresses the conflict of wavering between dualities: reality and illusion, light and shadow, stability and freedom. The narrative hinges on the "Scales", a symbol of choice, which branches into two different "Answers." However, the album suggests that no matter which path is taken, the shadow of "Regret" for the unchosen future always follows, deeply questioning the nature of human decision-making. This is a record of the soul, dedicated to all listeners who wander the border of illusion in search of their own truth.
