Lyric

Smile for Me

Seiji Abe

怖いくらい綺麗な顔して笑うのね。

ねぇ、辛いときくらい私を頼ってよ

一人きりでも、あなたは大丈夫だよ

きっと、ね。

小さな手合わせ

目と目を合わせて

瞬きすら忘れて

あなたに溺れてくの

そのまま 沈んでゆくの

私の知らない世界も

都会のネオンの美しさも

教えてくれたね

あなたと見たい景色が

たくさんあるんだけど

これで終わりでも

充分だよ

怖いくらい綺麗な顔して笑うのね

ねぇ、辛いときくらい私を頼ってよ

多分、一人きりでも

あなたは大丈夫だよ

きっと、ね。

柔らかな声が聞こえたから

君の命だとわかるんだよ

壊れた感情が蠢いてる

怖いくらい綺麗な声で笑うんだね

ねぇ、辛い時くらいは僕に全部預けてみて

でも、互いが互いを思うほど上手くいかないね

どうして?ねぇ。

「どこにも行かないでね

もう少しだけ側にいて」

隠せない想いが溢れてしまわぬよう

ポカリと開いた隙間にそっと、

閉じ込めていよう

怖いくらい綺麗な顔して笑うのね

ねぇ、辛いときくらい少しは泣いたっていいんだよ

多分、一人きりだとあなたは壊れてしまうんだよ

それでもあなたの行く末を

ずっとずっと案じてる

簡単に消えない感情が

この体ごと全部支配した

まだ終われない終わってない

夢のつづきを

そばで見てたかった

苦しくない

痛くもない

辛くはない

言えやしない

寂しくないよ少しも私は

どこかでまた

笑ってみせて

    Hallelujah

    Seiji Abe

"Gather together" -
to come together in one place,
to bring scattered things into unity.

In everyday life, countless emotions and events arise.
Little by little, they gather,
eventually shaping a single "heart."

Even when we feel lonely amid various struggles,
we are never truly alone.
And nothing meaningful can be achieved by oneself alone.

"To," and "two."
This is my second self-produced album.

With all of these thoughts in mind,
I named this work "2GATHER-TOGETHER."

This album portrays the many conflicts hidden in daily life,
and the journey toward liberation in the end.

As with my previous work,
I completed every step of the production process on my own.
However, every song was born from inspiration
drawn from encounters and words shared with many people.

If this were true solitude,
this album could not have been completed.
And it is only with you, the listener,
that "2GATHER-TOGETHER" is truly complete.
