Lyric

Harmonize Or Burn

KIRI

They want me soft, they want me scaled

Take the edge off, make me pale

But I was born to vibrate high

To hit the note that makes 'em cry

Harmonize or burn—I choose the flame

Stay electric, never tame

Harmonize or burn, make your choice

Let them hear my honest voice

Rattling cages, shaking walls

I don't whisper, I enthrall

Every frequency a different weapon drawn

From the dusk until the dawn

They say blend in with the choir sound

But I'm singing what I've found

Harmonize or burn—I'm taking flight

Turning pressure into light

Harmonize or burn, make your choice

Let them hear my honest voice

Rattling cages, shaking walls

I don't whisper, I enthrall

Dissonance is not a flaw

It's the truth without a flaw

Perfect is a prison cell

I'm the beautiful rebel yell

Frequency meets philosophy

Let the sound of me be free

    KIRI

Nostalgia Witness blends heritage and contemporary hip hop into a cohesive listening experience. Using the KIRI preset, this 10-track album merges traditional Japanese instruments like koto, biwa, and shakuhachi with modern beat-making. Each track explores different emotional territory from tender introspection to powerful uprising, fluctuating between 97 and 122 BPM. The production captures both the weight of memory and the energy of the present moment. These songs serve as witnesses to what has passed, while pointing toward what lies ahead. A meditation on time through sound.
