Edge of Illusion Front Cover

Lyric

Scales (English ver.)

koutAI

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.
