世界は渦を巻く様に泥濘へと沈む
ゆらりゆらり
視界が歪む錯覚の誘うがままに眠って
ゆらりゆらり
鳴り止まない警告音の響き渡る夜
うんざりな状況だけは加速していく
選択肢の無い僕らの未来は
ひらひら掌から零れ落ちて
真っ暗に拡がっていく底無しの沼で
叫ばれた救いの声も無きものとなる
手遅れなこの街ではもう
もがけばもがくほど苦しむだけだから
あなたは少し早めに穏やかに瞳を閉じて
静かに静かに…そう
視界が歪む錯覚の誘うがままに眠って
ゆらりゆらり
ダメになってしまった世界で深みに嵌ってしまう前に
ダメになってしまった世界で深みに嵌ってしまう前に
彼らにはもう従わない
僕たちはもう従わない
彼らにはもう従わない
僕たちはもう従わない
世界は渦を巻く様に泥濘へと沈む
ゆらりゆらり
視界が歪む錯覚の誘うがままに眠って
ゆらりゆらり
そう 穏やかな感覚で僕に沈んで
そっと 安らかな感覚で僕に沈んで
無限に無限に
ダメになってしまった世界で深みに嵌ってしまう前に
ダメになってしまった世界で深みに嵌ってしまう前に

"A melody that illuminates the darkness of the heart-
a sound that unlocks the soul and leads you back to yourself."
later., the long-awaited album by sonic poet Akinobu Nishihara, unfolds as a luminous journey through flickering shadows and fleeting light.
Here, shimmering textures and lyrical depth converge across twelve tracks-including newly reimagined versions of beloved songs "Weather Report"and "Daybreak", as well as the haunting new piece "Monochrome."
With melodies as fragile as glass and sharp as truth, this album captures a world suspended between solitude and hope.
The deluxe pre-release edition, presented as an experiential artwork transcending conventional music, sold out immediately.
More than an album-later. is an encounter. One that lingers, long after the music fades.
