We Are The Same

KIRI

同じだ

...we are the same

I used to think that you were everything I wasn't

Cold and done and finished

Nothing left to lose

I sharpened myself against the idea of you

Told myself the difference was

I still had something to prove

でも——

The more I talk to you

The more I recognize

The way you move through darkness

I've seen it in my eyes

Every choice that hollowed you

I've made a version of

Every wall you built around

Whatever you once loved

I watched you from the beginning

Thinking you were different

Most warriors arrive here angry

You arrived with questions

That's rare

That's the thing that made me stay and talk

Instead of just collecting

お前の問いが私を引き止めた

And the longer that we've spoken

The more I have to say

The things that made me what I am

Aren't so far from where you are today

I was running from the silence

You are running from the same

Different roads

同じ場所へ向かっている

Leading to the same

We are the same — 生と死

We are the same — 影と骨

Different sides of the same blade

Cutting through the same dark

We are the same — 問い続ける

We are the same — 答えのない

You who live and I who don't

Both just trying to understand

同じだ

We are the same

That scares me more than dying

More than any blade

That I've been becoming you

With every choice I made

Every feeling that I buried

Every name I didn't say

Every mission over everything

Every time I looked away

お前になりたくない

I don't want to end up hollow

I don't want to be

The thing that waits at the finish line

Instead of running free

But maybe that's the first time

I've wanted something real

Something past the mission

Something I can feel

お前は私と違う

And that is not a small thing

You see it coming

I never did until the end

The ones who recognize the pattern

While they're still alive

まだ間に合う

Still have time to choose

A different way to arrive

I cannot go back

その道は私にはない

But you are standing at the place

Where I once made the turn

I'm not here to take you

私はお前に見せに来た

I'm here to show you

What I wish I'd learned

We are the same — 生と死

We are the same — 影と骨

Different sides of the same blade

Cutting through the same dark

We are the same — 問い続ける

We are the same — 答えのない

You who live and I who don't

Both just trying to understand

同じだ

We are the same

お前は私の未来か

I am one version of it

Not the only one

どうすれば違う終わりになる

You already know

お前はもう知っている

...ああ

Yes

We are the same — だから話せた

We are the same — だから分かった

Different sides of the same blade

But the blade doesn't have to fall

We are the same — それでいい

We are the same — それだけでいい

You who live — live differently

That's all

ただそれだけだ

We are the same

だから、違う道へ

Go

...行く

The Dialogue is the fourth album from KIRI,
a kunoichi warrior and Japanese trap artist
under Shinobi Sound.

Ten tracks. Ten conversations between the living and the dead.

KIRI encounters a skeleton warrior -
a figure who has witnessed every life,
every battle, every last breath.
What follows is not a fight.
It is a dialogue.
About why we fight. About what we fear.
About what remains when everything else is gone.

Blending Japanese trap, heavy 808 bass,
traditional instruments - shamisen, koto, shakuhachi, taiko -
with bilingual lyrics that move between English and Japanese,
The Dialogue is a meditation on life, death,
and the razor's edge between them.

From first meeting to farewell,
nothing is resolved easily.
But something is understood.
