The future that I drew as a kid
Pages filled with dreams and hopes
Looking at myself right now
How close did I ever get to those?
I came this far with expectations
Footsteps that looked so clean and straight
Yeah… I made it to this place
But only up to here
Deep inside the feelings I buried
What I truly wanted to do
It was right there in front of me
But I left it all back there behind
Time keeps moving on, leaving it untouched
Behind the smiles I always wore
Words I still can’t say out loud
The view my younger self once saw
Can I reclaim it somehow now?
I stopped and looked up at the sky
If I still believe it’s not too late
Then this is where I start again
Beyond the feelings I set free
What I’ve always wanted to be
I’ll go and take it with my own hands
Holding what I once left behind
A brand new time begins to move
If I could meet who I was that day
There’s something I would say
“It’s way too early to give up”
I swear I heard that voice inside
Beyond the feelings I set free
What I truly wanted to do
Blending past and future together
I’ll take it all back with my hands
Even the days I couldn’t outrun
I’ll turn them into meaning now
This dream is not over yet
My story starts from here
They’re not left behind
Those dreams from that day
All the time I was lost
I’ll hold them close

Dreams Left Behind
ACE
The First Star / Dreams Left Behind は、
ACEが“過去”と“これから”の狭間に立ち、
静かに夜空を見上げた瞬間を切り取った両A面作品である。
人は生きていく中で、
失うものと、置き去りにしてしまうものを必ず抱える。
それは誰かの死であり、叶えられなかった夢であり、
あるいは、まだ言葉にできない感情かもしれない。
このアルバムは、
それらを無理に美化することも、
なかったことにすることも選ばない。
喪失は喪失として、
後悔は後悔として受け入れたうえで、
それでも人は前を向けるのか――
その問いに、音楽で向き合った記録だ。
夜の底に取り残された夢と、
遠くで確かに輝くひとつの星。
その距離は決して近くない。
だが、見失っていない限り、物語は終わらない。
Another Centuries Episode
それは、次の時代へ踏み出すための静かな決意。
過去を背負ったまま、それでも歩き続ける者たちのための音。
