Lyrics

Game Size

Japanese

空を壊す　黒煙が
無邪気に誘い
降り注いだ　鉄の雨
瓦礫は紅く踊り狂うよ

汚れた知恵の実を
いくつも食べたら
君がいないこの腕で
苦しみだけを抱きしめて

何かを求めて　何かを喪(な)くして
奪い奪われた絶望に
足掻いて　嘆いて　叫んで
それでも
あゝ　僕はこんなにも《生きて》る

Long Version

Japanese

空を壊す　黒煙が 無邪気に誘い 降り注いだ　鉄の雨 瓦礫は紅く踊り狂うよ 汚れた知恵の実を いくつも食べたら 君がいないこの腕で 苦しみだけを抱きしめて 何かを求めて　何かを喪(な)くして 奪い奪われた絶望に 足掻いて　嘆いて　叫んで それでも あゝ 僕はこんなにも《生きて》る 点滅する衝動に　名前をつけたなら 生きるモノと　死ぬモノの 理由に届くのか 何かを願って　誰かを傷つけ 分かり合えず　打ちのめされて 足掻いて　嗤って　叫んで それでも あゝ 僕はこんなにも《生きて》る

Song Production Information

Akiko Shikata

Every year, the remnants of the lost technology that cannot be found anywhere in the world.
The history of the conflicts that still continues, with scars of its glory.

Broken glass, broken world.
A sandstorm of bullets.

A lying body, flowing life.
There is no answer in this world.

I'd be very pleased if you can feel the resistance against being thrown away in a strange small garden, and the tears from this song!

Video Production Information

BEMANI Designers

When you listen to a song many times to visualize its lyrics... Every repeat, it's more intriguing to your heart.
At first, it was a "good song!", but it feels like crying at the end of the song.
Silently around "Gekisou! Cannon racer", it was under construction, and I endured it.

Various situations and negativeness are present, but still "live"! You still do.
I produced this video while feeling a weak, yet powerful "life".
