Lyric

mercury retrograde

Xinyi Kamiya

I see the words on screen but they’re drifting apart

気持ちとスタンプ mismatch from the start

画面の向こう unread のままで

タイプをとめてる midnight parade

微笑む selfie 裏は anxiety

分かったふりで流れる story

Try to speak out girl, break your silence

だけど胸には quiet violence

Ahh 言葉選ぶほど

君から遠ざかる maze

何がリアルで 何が fake

私は今も Caught in the haze

Caught in the stars

揺れる communication

My thoughts ain't yours

曖昧な intentions

伝えたいことがほどけてく

Can’t fake anymore

In this mercury storm

Yeah 絡まる電波で mixed emotions

想いはエラーで in slow-motion

「会いたい」は deleteしてまた書き直す

本音は backspace で宙を舞う

If you wanna reach me decode this line

でも気づけば心に offline

Try to open up girl, brave and true

だけど言葉は stuck like glue

Ahh 擦れ違いの日々に

本音も消えていく phase

「平気だよ」が一番の lie

気づかない君が cruel and kind

Caught in the stars

ズレる translations

Feelings obscure

不安な reflections

伝えられずに離れてく

Can't hide anymore

In this mercury storm

夜が明ければ clarity, maybe

だけど今は心が lazy

投げ出すのは簡単じゃない

明日には届くかもしれない

Caught in the stars

揺れる communication

My thoughts ain't yours

曖昧な intentions

伝えたいことがほどけてく

Can’t fake anymore

In this mercury storm

Can’t fake anymore…

揺れる心がバグっても

I’ll find my voice

Xinyi Kamiya to Release New Single "Mercury Retrograde" on August 10

Xinyi Kamiya returns with a new single, "Mercury Retrograde", dropping August 10.
Blending elements of alternative R&B, lo-fi, and electropop, the track features an airy, ambient soundscape paired with vocals that delicately reflect emotional turbulence.

In an age of unread messages and unsaid feelings, this song captures the raw reality of Gen Z living through emotional glitches.
Unstable hearts, frozen "read" receipts, and uncertain love
Like Mercury in retrograde, everything seems to move forward while quietly falling out of sync.
Through poetic lyrics and subtle beats, Kamiya portrays a young woman navigating her way through confusion, reaching toward her own emotional clarity.

Artist Profile

  • Xinyi Kamiya

    Resonant echoes that lean into urban solitude - the rising star with layered roots, Xinyi Kamiya Born to a Japanese father and a Taiwanese mother, Xinyi Kamiya is a trilingual artist fluent in Japanese, English, and Chinese. Influenced by her father, who worked as a DJ, she grew up breathing in 1990s Black music from an early age, absorbing it as naturally as air. This rich musical background infuses contemporary urban sounds with deep grooves and a sense of nostalgia. Based in Tokyo, the driving force behind her music has always been "urban loneliness" and a "yearning for connection." Beneath the glittering noise of the city lies an unspoken solitude and emptiness - feelings that her voice quietly yet powerfully slips into, filling the cracks of the heart. Her greatest hallmark is the contrast between a breath-like, delicate whisper voice and emotionally explosive, soaring passages. In the stillness of midnight, her voice gently accompanies the listener, offering a warmth that keeps loneliness from turning into isolation. Wrapped in melancholy and nostalgia, her music transcends language barriers, coloring the nights of people living in the modern world.
