Lyric

Memento mori (feat. GOMESS)

Toki

炎のように

悲しい眼をしていた君が

瞼閉じて瞳に残る光の全て

捨ててしまえたら

幸せになれるか

レコードは止まり

空は悲しみを暮れない

果てしない夕闇を

彷徨う旅人となり

その隣

君が最期まで大切に守った一つだけが

寄り添い歩めるなら

君には

やっぱり終わりが必要だったんだろうな

もしも寂しくなろうものなら

そうなる前に

抱き締めて温めてあげよう

君はそれを感じられないことを

悔やむきっかけさえない

安心してほしい

悲しいだけの世界はもう終わったんだよ

君を失った僕は

君が失った僕じゃないのだから

輝きとか

存在とか

全てを洗いざらい白に戻して

最期の続きを描き直せるよ

君なら

大丈夫

そう祈る

いつまでも弔いのつもりで詩を書きたくはない

林檎が腐っていたか毒が塗られていたか

なんてどうでもいいから

これからの話をしたい

月日は随分と流れたけれど

このままじゃ何も良くならないんだ

葬儀は君が望んだ通り静かに終えた

まだ墓参りには行けない

あの曲は世に出せなかった

理由は俺も知らない

誰かを責めてもキリがない

それにそんなことじゃ君は笑わない

世界には薄灰色の雨雲がかかっている

君の声を聞きたくて

録音機を再生させる

一緒に歌ってみる

オクターブ違いで二人が重なる

音楽は良いな

ずっと一緒に居られる

使えなかった合鍵

鳴らなかった携帯

君の全てを世迷言にしてしまった世界に

まだ雨は降りそうにないな

それなら俺がやるべきことはもしかしたらって

"RETANUS" - The 2nd Album from Toki

In consistency with Toki's previous work, this album incorporates a worldwide musical stance that defies categorization; weaving melodic house, trap, and hip-hop into dystopian melodies. The album's sound is a melancholic, hardcore, but retains a feeling of fragility in turn with its' theme of 'emotional rebirth'.

'RENATUS' features American rapper BLKZEN, based in Brooklyn, New York; Chinese playwright Afra Cheng, who met and worked with BLKZEN in San Francisco; slam poet GOMESS, who spits unique words from Japan; and keyboardist TAKUMI, from the Japanese band STRIX.

In contrast to the linear intensity of his first album 'ANNIHILATION', 'RENATUS' mixes the heavy with the melodious, in Toki's own interpretation of the 'unconscious mind of humanity'.

In turn, 'RENATUS' will also serve to light the fire for Toki's further work to come.
