Never Forget the Music


Hey, this is a totally new style, and my longest ever.
Atarashi
Never Forget the Music
My world has come to a standstill,
I don't know where to go.
Everything moves according to a constant drill,
I am tired of submitting to the flow.
Everything that I always do makes me feel bored,
In everything I have never done, I've lost the hope.
Frustrating to not know what the future holds,
There's emptiness behind every closed door.
Everything that I've worked for slips right out of my hands.
Wondering about whether it is another wild goose chase.
Standing in a desert and seeing nothing but endless sands.
Having no confidence, because everything always fails.
The fast paced world chucks you out,
The moment you falter or step away from the crowd,
As if it can't even forgive a moment of doubt.
And once you were fooling around like everything counts.
And asking yourself, when did I grow so cynical?
"The moment I learnt to hide my anguish with a laugh.
When I grasped how to make fun of my heart."
And hearing that answer shatters your foundation.
I tried to fly, but I couldn't escape the shackles...
But I see it darkness closing onto me,
It engulfs me and I can't do anything,
This is all until when I notice...
A broken chandelier beams through the crack,
And I thought I checked all the doors and maps.
Oh yes, I can see it now, it is right in front of me,
Can you feel it too? The dewdrops reflects the light for me to see.
All the walls and the chains turn to ashes,
Because of my confusion, the vision is still a bit hazy,
I see the future in flashes.

It isn't just my imagination, it will stay.
The rains pouring over my face, I exhale a sigh,The puddles, the dampness, the chill, I'll never curse it now.
The smell, the sound, the high, I'll never lose it now.
Oh yeah, you should see it, it's a beautiful view.
Making decisions, yeah, I'm trying to do that!
Facing the stuff, yeah, I am up for the challenge!
I'll try my best to fight, until and unless it comes out right,
'cause I know that I can walk up the distance.
If you hate the silence that haunts the street,
Why don't you sing your own music?
If you're afraid it isn't perfect, know that it'll never be,
But it won't let you slow down that easily.
Oh yeah, never give up, move faster than the world.
Build your pace, and don't let your dreams get away.
And next time your world comes to a standstill,
Don't forget the music.
Never forget singing, never forget the music.

I have a recording of me singing this with imagined background music, so that the sound never gets lost. Anyways, the sudden mood change was because of listening to my one and only idol, YUI. Pic from Pixabay, so is a public domain image.
