Under the holy lights
I thought I couldn’t fall
One little word, one little slip
Now I’m the headline on your wall
You clipped the moment, froze the frame
Turned my name into a flame
Justice wearing sharpened teeth
Pointed straight at me
Stones from behind a glowing screen
You don’t know what pressure means
I’m burning alive
Feel my insides ignite
Your perfect little justice
Keeps me up all night
I’m burning alive
But I won’t disappear
In the middle of your fire
I’m still right here
When someone falls, we feel okay
At least it wasn’t us today
Put on the mask, call it “right”
Now every word we type can bite
“Disappointed.” Copy. Paste
Righteous anger, no more grace
Truth is — we’re just bored inside
So we watch you burn alive
It’s easier to crucify
Than face the demons in our minds
You’re burning me alive
Call it karma, call it fate
Feeding on the algorithm
Spreading hate
I’m burning alive
Under your spotlight
You love the show
You love the fight
Who’s really falling here?
The one who slipped — or the crowd that cheers?
One mistake
A million stones
Tell me —
Who’s the monster you’ve grown?
I’m burning alive
But I’m still standing
Breathing through the smoke
You keep demanding
I’m burning alive
Still I survive
This fire was yours
But this will is mine
I’m burning alive
Scream it tonight
You can’t erase me
I’m burning alive
Burning!
Burning!
Burning alive!

ACEが放つ今作は、
「愛」「欺瞞」「炎上」という三つの“現代の火あぶり”を描いたダークトリロジー。
1. Gently
優しさの顔をした支配。
静かな言葉で壊されていく心。
叫びも暴力もないのに、
逃げ場のない愛に追い詰められていく。
“End me gently”という衝撃的なラインは、
死を望む言葉ではなく、
「この曖昧な苦しみを終わらせてくれ」という祈り。
静と狂気の境界線を歩く、
最も内面的で痛みの深い一曲。
2. LIAR
社会、成功、正義、そして自分自身。
誰もが“正しい顔”をして生きている世界で、
自分もまた嘘の一部だと認める楽曲。
批判でも告発でもなく、
告白。
“I’m a liar”と繰り返すことで、
他人ではなく自分にナイフを向ける。
そして最後には
“You’re a liar”と観客に突きつけることで、
会場全体を共犯者にする。
攻撃的でありながら、
極めて人間的な一曲。
3. Burning Alive
一つの過ちで世界中から裁かれる時代。
“炎上”という現代の火あぶりを、
中世の魔女裁判のイメージに重ねた楽曲。
バッシングする側と、される側。
どちらが罪なのか。
正義という名の石、
アルゴリズムという火。
それでも最後に残るのは、
「それでも俺は生きている」という宣言。
本作の象徴的トラック。
コンセプト
このシングルは、
愛に焼かれ
嘘に縛られ
正義に燃やされる
現代人の姿を描いている。
敵は他人ではない。
敵は“構造”であり、
そして自分自身。
重くて、痛くて、でも逃げない。
ACEの中でもかなり攻めた作品になってる。
