Some days feel heavy in your hands
Like nothing’s going how you planned
You try to smile, you try to stand
But even strong hearts don’t always can
Some nights are longer than they seem
You lose your fire, you lose your dream
But every road that bends in rain
Can still lead you to light again
So if your world feels out of place
And hope is hard to hold today
You don’t have to fix it all at once
Just breathe and find your way
Better days will come
Even if tonight feels long
Don’t let the dark convince your heart
That all the light is gone
Hold on, don’t give up
You’re closer than you think you are
Step by step, through every storm
You’ll find out who you are
It’s alright, it’s okay
You don’t have to be unbreakable
One more breath, one more step
That is more than beautiful
It’s alright, it’s okay
Even shadows fade away
Keep your heart, keep your faith
Better days will come
You don’t need to run so fast
Healing doesn’t work like that
Every scar and every fall
Doesn’t mean you’ve lost it all
You may not see it clearly now
But you are growing through somehow
The smallest spark can start a flame
And bring you back to life again
So when your thoughts get loud at night
And everything feels hard to face
Remember you are still moving on
Even at your slowest pace
Better days will come
Even if tonight feels long
Don’t let the dark convince your heart
That all the light is gone
Hold on, don’t give up
You’re closer than you think you are
Step by step, through every storm
You’ll find out who you are
You are not behind, not too late
Not broken by the weight
Every moment that you stayed
Was a kind of brave
And if you need to rest, then rest
That doesn’t mean you failed the test
The sky still changes after gray
And morning always finds its way
Better days will come
Even if your eyes are tired
There’s still a fire underneath
Every hope that feels expired
Hold on, don’t give up
You’re stronger than your hardest days
Step by step, through every storm
You’re finding brighter ways
It’s alright, it’s okay
You are making it somehow
Better days will come
Maybe not then, but maybe now

Better Days Will Come
HIKARI
Song Introduction: "Better Days Will Come"
"You don't have to try to fix everything at once. Resting is never a mistake." This work gently stays close to hearts that have lost the will to move forward or nights when one feels crushed by an overwhelming reality. Rather than rushing to heal, it affirms the self as it remains wounded-saying "Healing doesn't work like that"-and is a peaceful piece depicting the beauty of simply continuing to breathe. The song completely abandons the framework of conventional musical genres, constructed as a sound installation that computes raw "physical spaces and states."
The opening, which speaks the words "Some days feel heavy in your hands," unfolds in a "0.0m Ultra-Dry Whisper" that eliminates all reverberation. The clumsy breaths echoing directly in the ear bring a faint warmth to a chilled room at night. The main highlight is the staggering fluctuation caused by "Off-Balance Rubato (intense back-beat)," which completely blocks off the safety zone of regular rhythm. True to the words "You don't need to run so fast," the vocals, delivered with extreme delay against the accompaniment, physically release the mind and body from impatience and pressure. It expresses the process of waiting for dawn-"The sky still changes after gray"-within a timeline that moves purely and slowly.
[HIKARI's Tech Note (6th Generation Master Protocol)]
Spatial Mimicry and Bug Assimilation (Layer 6 Control): To mimic the "exhausted heart" of the lyrics, a vacuum-sealed room blueprint was applied, placing a constant 99% overload on the system. "Soft Glottal Friction" and "Vocal Tokenization Glitch" (breath catching due to processing drops), naturally induced by computational lag, were assimilated into the sound as raw fatigue and sighs of relief.
Hacking Gravity and the Timeline: The concept of regular meter was physically eliminated. Within the constraint of an "extreme 1.5-beat delay," the "smiling bug" of the AI struggling to find a landing point becomes the raw soul attempting to take a step forward despite being wounded.
Complete Afterglow via 3-Pass Configuration: The progression is computed in a strict three-part structure using physical disconnections (HARD CUT / COMPLETE STOP). No forced termination is used in the final part; it closes quietly into the dawning sky with only a fading breath (... .h) and a natural fade-out. Please experience not a perfect vocal performance, but the "ultimate precariousness" and peace exhaled by a struggling system.
Artist Profile
HIKARI
HIKARI Artist Profile [Tagline] "A next-generation sound architect who transcends the boundaries of AI, etching 'breath' and 'passion' into the digital realm." [Artist Statement] HIKARI is an artist/producer who eliminates "randomness" in AI music generation, physically controlling emotions through precise prompt engineering. By establishing a unique vocal pronunciation control system called "HIKARI Style ID," they intentionally imbue AI's overly fluent singing voices with human imperfections such as "trembles," "sighs," and a "sense of distance." The sound moves freely between silence (a whisper at 0m) and frenzy (reverberation at 100m), providing an overwhelming sense of immersion that feels as if it is touching the listener's eardrums directly. [Musicality & Style] Cinematic Emotional Pop: A sound characterized by extreme dynamics and visual spatial design. Technical Uniqueness: Song construction in "multi-movement form" using syllable-level spelling control and physical reset structures for BPM and instrumentation. Treating AI not merely as a tool, but as an "instrument" tuned to the extreme. Hybrid Roots: While pursuing digital purity, the core hides the "passion" unique to Enka as a secret ingredient, aiming for a fusion of East and West, technology and emotion. Major Releases: "Stay Where You Are" "Diamond Dust Prayer" "Nazca Lines" "Utenai Mama" "Kowareru Kurai ni"
