"Hurdle" is a message song that portrays the strength to keep moving forward without breaking, even while carrying unfulfilled dreams and pain.
As symbolized by the phrase "a spirit quietly polished deep within the heart," the lyrics honestly express the inner strength of human beings and the determination to follow one's own path without giving up on dreams.
Musically, the song is built around a gentle piano melody that gradually unfolds, balancing delicacy and strength throughout the arrangement.
Starting from a calm and emotional introduction, the vocals and rhythm gain presence as the song moves toward the chorus, naturally lifting the listener's emotions.
In the latter half, the increased intensity and texture of the snare emphasize the will to step forward and continue on.
Believing in tomorrow despite a reality that does not always go as planned is one of the consistent themes in Sumasa's work, also reflected in "Chill Night."
The title "Hurdle" symbolizes the growing pains of becoming an adult, while also representing the resolve to overcome obstacles ahead and run forward relentlessly toward the future.
It is a song that conveys quiet hope and steady progress.
