Lyric

The View From Here (feat. Paper Crane Parade)

Hoshitarou Akeno&the dark side

I've been watchin' from the top

Where the clouds cover mountain peaks

In the valley below

There's a stream

And I see

Everything

But it’s not so clear

When I look at me

The view from here

The view from here

The view from here

Ain’t always what it seems

I’ve been walkin’ down old roads

With my shadow stretchin’ long

Every sign says “keep on goin’”

But I don’t know

Which way’s wrong

Which way’s home

From the ground I fear

What I saw up there

The view from here

The view from here

The view from here

Changes with my feet

There’s a light in a window

When the night comes rollin’ in

Someone laughin’ in the kitchen

Smell of rain

On my skin

I breathe again

Now it’s almost clear

Why I’m standin’ here

The view from here

The view from here

The view from here

Feels like where I should be

Yeah, the view from here

The view from here

    The View From Here (feat. Paper Crane Parade)

    Hoshitarou Akeno&the dark side

"The View From Here" focuses on perspective-not from a distant summit, but from where one stands right now.
Written and composed by Yutaka Sekino, produced by Hoshitaro Akeno, and performed by Paper Crane Parade.

With an emphasis on space and restraint, the song captures a moment suspended between past and future.
Rather than directing emotion, it allows listeners to inhabit the music and discover their own meaning within it.

No conclusions are spelled out.
Instead, the song gently affirms the value of the present viewpoint-suggesting that understanding often begins by accepting where we stand.
