雨が窓を叩く音だけ
途切れた未来を数える時計
幼い日の夢はどこへ
掌から零れ落ちた砂
何度も立ち上がろうとしても
膝をつく度見えない鎖
頑張れなんて響かない
世界はただ通り過ぎる
胸に抱えた絶望の影
失くしたもの重すぎて
凍えた心に問いかける
この痛みが生きた証
冷たい社会の隅で
震える孤独でもいい
きっと夜明けは来ると
砂の城で祈る
ニュースの光眩しいだけ
私は影のように溶ける
期待なんて捨て去った
諦めのコート纏う
ガラス越しの他人の幸せ
羨むことにも疲れた
誰も私を理解しなくていい
ただ静かに傷を撫でる
胸に抱えた絶望の影
失くしたもの重すぎて
凍えた心に問いかける
この痛みが生きた証
冷たい社会の隅で
震える孤独でもいい
きっと夜明けは来ると
砂の城で祈る
道標なんて要らない
迷ってもいいんだよ
壊れた私のままで
ここが居場所なの
胸に抱えた絶望の影
貴方だけは知っていて
凍えた心に問いかける
この痛みが生きた証
冷たい社会の隅で
震える孤独でもいい
私たちは一人じゃない
砂の城で祈る

Sand Castle Prayer
raruminn
"Sand Castle Prayer" is a ballad/message song that realistically depicts the coldness and unfulfilled loneliness of modern society, while strongly longing for the "proof of life" and "hope" that certainly exist amidst despair.
The sound of rain tapping against the window, sand spilling from the palm of one's hand, a world where words like "hang in there" don't resonate. This song poignantly portrays the "I" who kneels in the face of this harsh reality and carries the "shadow of despair" in his heart.
In particular, the chorus's lines "This pain is proof I'm alive," and "Even if I tremble alone in the corner of a cold society, I'll pray in my sand castle, knowing that dawn will surely come" symbolize the flame of prayer, as fleeting as a fragile sandcastle, yet never extinguished.
In the final chorus, the lonely "I" discovers the presence of "you," elevating the message of hope to "we are not alone."
Song Highlights:
Relatable lyrics that frankly describe loneliness and pain.
[Please describe the specific sound characteristics of the song. Examples: a moving melody line, powerful yet delicate vocals, dramatic string arrangements, etc.]
True strength and healing can be found in accepting that "this is where I belong, even as I am, broken."
Artist Comment
[Rarumin] shared the thoughts she put into the song.
"Sand Castle Prayer" is a song that expresses the helplessness and loneliness I once felt. Even if no one understands me, even if no one tells me to do my best, I believe that pain itself is proof of life, and I continue to build a little hope (sand castle prayer). I hope this song can be a quiet place where you can feel "not alone" if you're currently hitting a wall or feeling lonely.
