始発が夜を灯して
遠くに重ねる
触れないまま息をして
傷つけずに
救えない日々の
現在を受け入れて
心揺らして
伝えたいこと 届けたいこと
もっとあるのに 癒えぬアイロニー
悲しさとか 寂しさとか
全て抱きしめ
そして始まる朝だ
終わったことを思い出す
癖はもうやめるよ
頼りない影を
茜色は見透かして
許して
戻らない日々を
理屈じゃなく 言葉じゃなく
触れる温度で 気づく最後に
正しさとか 間違いとか
全て受け止め
そして始まる朝だ
どこかで紡いだあの時間は
忘れてしまうけど
両手で繋いだあの季節は
消えるかな
いつか消えるように

Leadoff
FREAK NOTE
Tokyo-based rock band FREAK NOTE presents their debut single, Leadoff.
Blending a driving alternative rock sound with vivid lyrical imagery and an underlying sense of emotional unrest, the track intertwines distorted guitars and bass with melodic piano lines, while energetic rhythms collide with emotional and fleeting vocals.
Centered around themes of irreversible days and unresolved emotions, Leadoff captures the regret, inner conflict, and youthful impulse of struggling to move forward while carrying the weight of what has already been lost.
Influenced by UK alternative, shoegaze, emo, and guitar rock, the song combines literary lyricism and vivid storytelling with the emotional sensitivity distinctive to Japanese rock music, standing as a defining first statement from FREAK NOTE.
