Walking through the wavering storm
Crying, laughing along the way
But at times, the clouds come in my way
I need to pause
I need to breathe
Yet the stars keep shining above
I smell the beacon stronger
I can never sing a song about the world
Run, run till the end
Far, far till the end
I can never sing a song about the world
Run, run till the end
Far, far till the end
I want to sing about our happy ending
Willow willow make some shade on our way ahead
So I can keep our safe zone
We want to see the world better
Even if I hide in the crowd
It won't end soon
This life will go on
Even if I slip into the emptiness
It won't end soon
This life will go on

Dear,
Black Boboi
"Black Boboi's first album in five years, Sepia, is an alternative pop record that traverses trip-hop, techno, and ambient textures. The album was inspired by a fictional apocalyptic novel composed through a series of "correspondence letters" exchanged between the three members.
Upon finishing the final track, the listener is left with a profound sense of weight-much like the lingering feeling after watching a cinematic masterpiece-evoked by its free-form sonic imagery and lyrical world.
In a modern society radically transformed by technological innovation, where the traditional "givens" of ethics and morality no longer seem to apply, the expression Black Boboi releases today embraces the nostalgic (=Sepia) while simultaneously questioning how we will confront the future."
