You don't have to try hard anymore

For all those who are hurt by the words "do your best."

The ultimate anti-positive song, turning its back on the hustle and bustle of modern society.

This song is a painfully realistic portrayal of the societal pressures that force people to have dreams and hopes, and the loneliness of individuals who are unable to adapt. The song takes a sharp look at the current situation, where pleasant-sounding phrases like "every night will end" and "effort will be rewarded" actually drive people to the brink. It redefines giving up as a shield, not an escape.

Song Concept

The electronic sounds of an intersection, the empty shell of oneself reflected in a shop window.

The lyrics depict the protagonist's deepening loneliness amid the hustle and bustle of the city. This song declares the righteousness of those in the light as deadly poison, and accepts the need to sleep, embracing despair.

In a music scene overflowing with easy-going cheer songs, this song, which encourages people not to stand up and instead remain empty, brings tranquility and peace to those who have reached their limits.
Notable Lyrics
"Righteousness is now a deadly poison / What I want is the silence of the end."
"Giving up isn't running away / Protecting my worn-out self / Because it's my only shield."

Rather than forcing myself to look forward, I embrace the pain I feel now. Slumbering in solitude, unloved and unloving. The song depicts the paradoxical peace of mind that comes from acknowledging that this is the place that "suits" me now.

Comment
"There are nights when the words "If you try hard, you'll make it" ring truest and most cruel. I wrote this song for those who are clutching their knees and feel like they can't walk any further. Rather than forcing them to stand up, I want to crouch beside them and affirm their despair. That's the sentiment I want to convey."
