いつか壊れた街灯の下で
声にならない嘆きを抱えた夜
沈むように眠る自分と
どうしようもなく浮き上がりたい自分が
絶え間なく衝突している
右手には消えかけの光
左手には消し去りたい現実
絡み合う視界の奥で
“もういいんじゃない”と囁く影が
私を綱引きの真ん中に立たせる
渇ききった希望の種が
ひび割れた大地を染み渡るように
ゆっくりと、しかし確かに
秘密の芽を宿す瞬間がある
「終わりにしてしまえ」と叫ぶ心と
「ここで終われない」と足掻く魂が
同じ胸の中で渦を巻いている
この曖昧な現実は夜の底
けれど、どこか遠くかすかに灯る
そこへ伸ばした指先が見つけたのは
かろうじて息をしている
わずかな希望の輪郭
信じたものが幻なら
信じなかったものは何だったのか
突きつけられた矛盾の答えを
誰も持たない
だからこそ探し続けてしまう
ほつれた糸を結び直すたび
ほどける音が耳に残る
けれどその繰り返しの先に
見えない色があると信じたい
何度も立ち止まる鼓動に
罅割れた祈りを与えながら
失くしそうで失えない
その理由さえ
名付けることができないまま
生まれ変わる夜明けを待ちわびながら
「このまま沈んでいくのか」と問う声と
「いつかは浮上するはずだ」と問う声
同時に鳴り響く残響の底で
それでも背中を押してくれた微かな風
目を凝らせば瞳に映る景色が
確かに歪んだままで
それでもここから
歩き出す自分がいる
闇の中、かすかに笑う月の裏に
見えない翼を広げる
この胸に刻まれた痛みと共に
まだ名もない朝を呼び起こすために
闇の中、かすかに笑う月の裏に
見えない翼を広げる
この胸に刻まれた痛みと共に
まだ名もない朝を呼び起こすために

Breathing the Abyss
Check No Apple Juice
The "night you just want to end" and the "morning you still want to live through" fight for the same heart.
Breathing the Abyss" is a work that uses symbolic images and words to depict a human being sinking into the depths of despair, but never letting go of hope.
Desolate motifs such as broken streetlights and cracked earth symbolize the breath that seems to be interrupted in the midst of suffering, and the "reverberations" that can be heard if you listen carefully shake the depths of your heart.
However, they are more than mere metaphors; they conceal "seeds of hope" and "slight buds" that continue to shine faintly in the corners of our vision.
As the title "Breathing the Abyss" suggests, even when enveloped in deep darkness, we never lose sight of the will that still breathes.
By weaving in multiple layers of metaphors that cannot be grasped in a single reading, this is a piece that has been meticulously crafted so that the listener/reader can return to it again and again to find new interpretations.
At the boundary where hope and despair exist at the same time, what kind of breath or light will you feel?
