Pain is a vital part of our lives
And part of developing a special set of senses
A perfect way to treat pain
As a whole is by doing what we love to do and find our true self
But for some, pain cannot be considered as a source of discovery
Since it can just complicate matters going forward
The world you have once loved is no longer yours
But that is the very song that haunts him night and noon
Let him will! In the midst of
His madness, his voice rises above
The noise of the sea and the storm
It is the song he sung for her in Galle
How long a time has passed since that summer afternoon and sunset, and his voice
That not happened on better ears
Than those of the voyageur
Pain is a vital part of our lives
A perfect way to treat pain and find our true self
The world you have once loved is no longer yours

BORDERLINE
Keiichiro Shibuya
'BORDERLINE', the second single from Keiichiro Shibuya's new album ATAK027 ANDROID OPERA MIRROR, heads more assuredly towards the digital realm, using lyrics generated by GPT software. "Pain is a vital part of our lives," sings Shibuya's android starlet. "The world you have once loved is no longer yours." It's a chilling performance that crystallizes Shibuya's notions on the tenuous relationship between life and death, human and automaton, with the phantasmic words spiralling around, touching piano phrases and brassy swells.
