hi

Trail of Light

Happy (late) Halloween, nerds.

I wanted to be annoying and put my "Halloween-y" song out on the 31st, but unfortunately it still isn't coming out how I imagined.

Truthfully, I wasn't sure if I should put this out considering my Z-A songs are all anyone wants to talk about with regards to my work lately, but at the same time, it made perfect sense to put it out now. (I actually wanted to put this out to coincide with Z-A's release but it did not happen due to my own stupidity.)

I'll go into more detail when the album comes out, but I also said I was gonna put out at least one new "personal project" song this year so no one can be mad at me for not delivering on my promise.

Huge thanks to the good sis Mariko Takahashi for being the angelic voice on the track. Thanks as well to my "focus group" who listened to the 10+ iterations of this song that I made, and bullied me into keeping that piano bit in.

Japanese, Romaji, and English lyrics are included if you're interested. Please let me know if there are tech issues and I'll probably do something about it idk. I hope you like it.

- Eve

日本語
駆け抜けた夜の向こう
響く鼓動が答えを探す
嵐の声を背にして
誓いだけが残る

冷たい雨が打ちつけても
消えない光があるから

走り出せ稲妻のように
恐れを超えて今を刻む
導いて闇を裂く奇跡
君がいれば迷わない

揺れる影交じわる夢
未来はまだ形を知らない
けれどこの瞬間だけ
永遠より強い

滲む空に手を伸ばして
信じる力を重ねて

走り出せ稲妻のように
恐れを超えて今を刻む
導いて闇を裂く奇跡
君がいれば迷わない

光と影が溶け合う時
私たちは一つになる

雷鳴の中でも
君の明かりは消えない

走り出せ稲妻のように
この世界を照らす願い
導いて闇を裂く奇跡
君の光で帰ろう

Romaji
Kakenuketa yoru no mukou
Hibiku kodou ga kotae o sagasu
Arashi no koe o se ni shite
Chikai dake ga nokoru

Tsumetai ame ga uchitsukete mo
Kienai hikari ga aru kara

Hashiridase inazuma no you ni
Osore o koete ima o kizamu
Michibiite yami o saku kiseki
Kimi ga ireba mayowanai

Yureru kage majiwaru yume
Mirai wa mada katachi o shiranai
Keredo kono shunkan dake
Eien yori tsuyoi

Nijimu sora ni te o nobashite
Shinjiru chikara o kasanete

Hashiridase inazuma no you ni
Osore o koete ima o kizamu
Michibiite yami o saku kiseki
Kimi ga ireba mayowanai

Hikari to kage ga tokeau toki
Watashitachi wa hitotsu ni naru

Raimei no naka demo
Kimi no akari wa kienai

Hashiridase inazuma no you ni
Kono sekai o terasu negai
Michibiite yami o saku kiseki
Kimi no hikari de kaerou

English
Beyond the night I ran through
The beating heart echoes, searching for an answer
With the storm’s voice upon my back
Only our vow remains

Even if cold rain lashes down
There is a light that will not fade

Run like a bolt of lightning
Overcome fear and carve the now
A miracle guiding us through the darkness
With you here, I will not be lost

Shaking shadows blend with dreams
The future still doesn’t know its shape
Yet in this single moment
We are stronger than eternity

Reach out to the blurring sky
Stack the power of belief

Run like a bolt of lightning
Overcome fear and carve the now
A miracle guiding us through the darkness
With you here, I will not be lost

When light and shadow melt together
We become one

Even in the midst of thunder
Your light will not vanish

Run like a bolt of lightning
A wish to illuminate this world
A miracle guiding us through the darkness
Let’s return, guided by your light
