Lyric

You don't have to try hard anymore

raruminn

交差点青に変わる音

ひどく耳に刺さる

誰も彼も明日信じ

急ぎ足ですれ違う

ショーウィンドウ映り込み

抜け殻のような私

なりたかった自分など

もう思い出せない

頑張れば報われるとか

明けない夜はないとか

光の中の人々の

綺麗事が喉詰まる

正しさは今猛毒

欲しいのは終わりの静寂

もう頑張らなくていい

心が砕ける音して

冷たい世界振り向かず

夢も希望も手放して

空っぽのままでいい

絶望抱きしめて眠れ

努力足りないせいか

弱さが罪なのか

弾き出された歯車

路地裏で錆びつく

助け求めてもただ

困った顔されるだけ

大丈夫の裏側に

無関心気づいてる

期待するから傷つく

心殺して生きてた

人形になればいいと

痛み消えると思った

涙だけが流れて

冷たい床に垂れる

もう立ち上がらなくていい

膝抱えたままでいい

社会のノイズに耳塞ぎ

諦めることは逃げじゃない

擦り切れた自分守る

たった一つの盾だから

生きる意味なんていらない

探すフリもしなくていい

この深い闇の底が

今の私にお似合い

誰にも愛されなくていい

誰かを愛せなくていい

悲しみだけが友達

孤独の中でまどろむ

    You don't have to try hard anymore

    raruminn

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."
