[Verse 1]
Shadows fade when the lights turn on
And every scar is a stage I'm drawn on
Balancing the highs and lows
Dancing through the ebb and flow
Falling down but I rise again
Turning losses into wins
Life's a rhythm, fragile, free
Every misstep shapes the key
[Chorus]
Step by step I keep climbing higher
Fall through the dark but I spark that fire
Step by step hear the voices sing
Balance the pain, let the beauty ring
Step by step I rise higher, oh
Fall through the dark but I spark that fire
Step by step hear the voices sing
Balance the pain, let the beauty ring
[Verse 2]
Every stumble, every fall
Teaches me to stand up tall
Grace is found in broken lines
Shining bright through borrowed time
Tears become the songs I write
Failure paves the path with light
I'm still moving, kiss the skies
Truth revealed before your eyes
[Chorus]
Step by step I keep climbing higher
Fall through the dark but I spark that fire
Step by step hear the voices sing
Balance the pain, let the beauty ring
Step by step I rise higher, oh
Fall through the dark but I spark that fire
Step by step hear the voices sing
Balance the pain, let the beauty ring
[Bridge]
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Keep on rising
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Never falling
[Verse 3]
Life is a tightrope, sharp like a knife
Scars cut deep but they sharpen my life
Every scar's ink, I'm the author, I'm the pen
Turning breakdowns to breakthroughs again
Balance on the edge, yeah, I fight to survive
Fall a hundred times but I'm still alive
Dreams in my chest, they refuse to die
Crash and burn but I learn to fly
Every move's a fragile art
But it's written on my heart
On this stage I claim my place
Falling forward with the grace
[Chorus]
Step by step I keep climbing higher
Fall through the dark but I spark that fire
Step by step hear the voices sing
Balance the pain, let the beauty ring
Step by step I rise higher, oh
Fall through the dark but I spark that fire
Step by step hear the voices sing
Balance the pain, let the beauty ring
[Outro]
Step by step I'll rise
Through the fire
Touch the sky
Keep on dancing

Ballerina (feat. Lia & VIVI ZERO)
yagi a.k.a goat
Ballerina is a song about the opposing forces that shape life
good and bad, kindness and cruelty,
sunny days and rainy ones.
Life is never perfectly balanced,
yet it continues to move forward through constant contrasts.
This song carries a simple but powerful message:
no matter the circumstances, you are the main character of your own life.
Through LIA delicate, emotionally restrained vocals and
VIVI ZERO clear-eyed, grounded rap,
Ballerina becomes a piece that quietly accompanies each listener on their own journey.
Artist Profile
yagi a.k.a goat
An enigmatic music producer based in Tokyo. With a distinctive presence and a one-of-a-kind sonic vision, he has earned the trust of artists drawn to his creative instincts. A man of few words, GOAT is known for transforming the atmosphere of a studio in an instant through his sharp ear and decisive judgment. Rooted in the R&B, hip-hop, and dance music of the 90s and 2000s, he blends the spirit of those eras with a modern sensibility. His signature sound features sample-rich production, heavy beats, smooth R&B lines, infectious dance grooves, and delicate soundscapes that capture the solitude and energy of city life. While his music often evokes a sense of nostalgia, it is never simply a recreation of the past. By reshaping timeless textures through his own perspective, GOAT elevates each artist's individuality and brings their creative world into sharper focus. Much about his identity remains shrouded in mystery, yet every track he produces carries a sense of real, living emotion. Transcending the boundaries of genre, his music leaves a lasting imprint on the hearts and memories of its listeners. The name GOAT carries two meanings: "Greatest Of All Time" and the animal itself, reflecting both his quiet confidence and sense of humor. His sound embraces the loneliness of late nights, the silence before the first train, the energy of the dance floor, and the hearts of young people moving forward while still unfinished.
