@@SpectralLumo true
Lyric:
Ever since one fated day
My world’s been fading to gray
Despite the unclouded sky
Staining the Earth with its dye
Afraid of taking the leap
Or to forevermore sleep
With cowardice as my guard
I’ll keep enduring these scars
A spiral without an end
To solitude I’m condemned
Barely able to recall
How full of joy I once was
My life now follows this trend
Of every day that I spend
Staring into a screen
And simply daring to dream
Oh ~ how fucking foolish that I used to be
Why did I ever think forgiveness would be granted to me
Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt
It’s clear for all to see
This is where I’ve always belonged
The future I’ve chased
Of which I’ve dreamt
Begins its slow entropy
A fate so cruely prolonged
Another sunrise to greet
Another taste to defeat
The cycle’s once more disturbed
And time feels all the more blurred
To be alive with no goal
Is slowly draining my soul
If my whole life’s been in vain
I think I might go insane
Say, what else is left
But remaining as a slave to monotony
Say, what is my cause
How long will this nightmare go on
Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt
It’s clear for all to see
This is where I’ve always belonged
The future I’ve chased
Of which I’ve dreamt
Begins its slow entropy
A fate so cruely prolonged
Just let me feel at peace
I wonder if I were to take that one final step
Will the sky let me sleep
Chained inside what I once thought would become my sanctuary
The shackles rust yet never break
Forced to see myself torn
By which path I’ll pursue
Maybe I’ll be reborn
And return as somebody new
And if that were to be
I could make up for everything I lack
So the next time the sky smiles at me
I can smile back
That's sad....I today read the lyrics again and feel heart broken once. And as a Quilldren, I try my best to give my love to Ike Eveland~~
After all that's been happening...these lyrics hit...hard.
I think that last part was foreshadowing mysta's graduation all along. It's terrifying how accurate that last part is 😢.
@@Ayush-kc2vx That's all about their destination, every V-tuber might go on that way some day....
@@debbytu8705 bro i don't wanna think about it. I can't imagine my oshi graduating one day 😢.

Staining the Earth with its dye

1:17 Oh, how fucking foolish that I used to be
(ああ、僕はなんと愚かなことをしたのだろう)
Why did I ever think forgiveness
would be granted to me
(なぜ許しが得られると思ったのだろう)

The cycle’s once more disturbed

2:50 Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt

Of which I’ve DREAMT
(夢見た未来は)
Begins its slow ENTROPY
(ゆっくりとしたエントロピーの始まりだ)
A fate so cruely prolonged
(残酷なほど長引く運命)
3:37 Just let me feel at PEACE
(ただ、安らぎを感じさせてくれる)
3:46 I wonder if I were to take that one final step
(最後の一歩を踏み出せば)
Will the sky let me sleep?
(空は僕を眠らせてくれるのだろうか)
4:05 Chained inside what I once thought
(かつて思っていたものに縛られ)
Would become my sanctuary
(僕の聖域になると思っていた)
The shackles rust
(足かせは錆びつく)
Yet never break
(でも決して壊れない)
4:25FORCED to see my self TORN
(自分自身が引き裂かれるのを見ることを余儀なくされる)
By which path I’ll pursue
(どの道を進むか)
Maybe I’ll be reborn
(生まれ変わることができるかもしれない)
And return as somebody new
(新しい自分に生まれ変わる)
4:45And if that were to be
(そうなれば)
I could make up for everything I lack
(自分に足りないものを補うことができる)
So the next time the sky smiles at me
(だから今度、空が僕に微笑んでくれたら)
I can smile back
(僕は微笑み返すことができる)

そう言って頂けて凄く嬉しいです🥲🥲
頑張った甲斐がありました👍🏻💙💙
has gotta be the saddest, toe-curling, mind boggling, hyperventilating, overdosing, warming, burning, eye tearing, hair pulling, mouth gaping, world changing, revolutionary and eargasmic original song my ears have ever tasted before. KUDOS IKE! 💙
right!
I NEED THIS TO BE ON SPOTIFY!!!!!
definitely omg……my nijien playlist needs to be renewed
Ike's voice is always so clean but still somehow sounds like its breaking. The screams honestly make me shocked because of how aggresive but calm they sound and how perfectly they match the music and lyrics, i swear this man is good at everything 😭
Kel what are you doing here?
Hiding from Hero in his closet blasting this banger song so his brother gets confused of where the music is coming from
OMG KEL IM YOUR #1 FANBOY :D
if kel says it it's canon !!!!!!
SO TRUE KEL
ROUGH LYRICS
Ever since one fated day
My world’s been fading to gray
Despite the unclouded sky
Staining the Earth with its dye
Afraid of taking the leap

A spiral without an end
To solitude I’m condemned
Barely able to recall
How full of joy I once was

OH HOW FUCKING FOOLISH
THAT I USED TO BE
WHY DID I EVER THINK FORGIVENESS WOULD BE GRANTED TO ME
Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt
It’s clear for all to see
This is where I’ve always belonged
The future I’ve chased of which I’ve dreamt
Begins its slow entropy
A fate so cruelty prolonged
Another sunrise to greet
Another taste of defeat
The cycle’s once more disturbed
And time feels all the more blurred
To be alive with no goal
Is slowly draining my soul
If whole life’s been in vain
I think I might go INSANE!

BUT REMAINING AS A SLAVE TO MONOTONY
SAY! WHAT IS MY CAUSE
HOW LONG WILL THIS NIGHTMARE GO ON!
Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt

JUST LET ME FEEL AT PEACE
I WONDER IF I WERE TO TAKE THAT ONE FINAL STEP
WILL THE SKY LET ME SLEEP
Chained inside
What I once thought would become my sanctuary
My shackles rust yet never break
FORCED
To see myself torn
By which path I’ll pursue
Maybe I’ll be reborn
And return as somebody new
And if that were to be
I could make up for everything I lack
So the next time the sky smiles at me
I can smile back..
I think the (.....) is; "SKY LET ME" like, "WILL THE (SKY LET ME) SLEEP" but to be honest, i dont know if its right so take it with a grain of salt.
YOU'RE CRACKED FOR THIS thank you
GENIUS
THANK YOUUUU
@@bananawiz2661 OH YES IT SOUNDS SO SIMILAR TO THE SKY LET ME!! THANK YOU SO MUCH
What continues to blow my mind is this entire experience is the creative output of two people. Two people. For a whole-ass original song with animated MV. Madness.
If indiegames and Dasu has taught me anything, it's that things made by one or two people often overshine those done by large groups
@@takebacktheholyland9306 yeah but it takes time though. Trade off
I'm literally crying. I wanna give him everything he's ever wanted. This world doesn't deserve him. We're so blessed that Ike Eveland is here with us.
A ORIGINAL SONG BY NO OTHER THAN IKE EVELAND LETS FRIKING GO! 🥳We absolutely winning in life and living in the right timeline. With the hype this song is getting already i sure is gonna be a absolute banger were we all gonna ascend to heaven listening to the best virtual novelist sing. TYSM in advance for this to Ike and all. 💙7
Edit: Its a banger, a absolute, complete banger. Ike and his team did a wonderfull masterpiece and we blessed to be able to listen to it.
YEAHHHH LET'S GOOOO 💙💙💙💙💙
why did I read the screaming part with Ike's voice? hahah😂
All in agreement, Salute!! o7 💙7
Hi ike, I just wanted to let you know that because of you, I've restarted taking vocal lessons. Back when I was in school, I used to study vocal music because I loved singing so much. However, after that, due to heavy academic workload and life pressures, I gave up on vocal training. I abandoned my dream of pursuing singing.
Although now I have grown up and have a job, I never thought I would start singing again before I met you. You've always encouraged everyone to give singing a try and not to give up on it. So, I gathered the courage to pick up my dream again.
Even though I don't seem to have much talent in singing, I still feel happy when I sing.
Thank you so much for everything you've done for me. You've been there for me through many difficult times, and I'll always be here to support you.
Also, blue light was my favorite song last year, thank you for your incredible work💙
I can just say "BOY SLAY" but I also may be overthinking the lyrics and the mv.. I hope that Ike and everyone in Niji, or even everyone who's following a pattern of being a happy entertainer, actually take good care of their mental state. I hope all of them understand that THEM being OKAY is a priority to the major of the fans. Ike, you make feel alive and I hope you are doing okay. I love you (platonically).
Ok all I gotta say is POG
The credits look like a high school group project: only one person did the work
Ikey Wikey our talented blue boy!!! So excited for this 💙💙💙💙💙💙
why this feel like a call out to me😅
@@Lypus-kz7rs are you the one who did the work or.....?
LMAOOOO true
This has been so long coming I can't wait!!!
Lmao 😂
Wait, what the......
Composition, lyrics, arrangement, recording, mixing, mastering, vocals
ALL BY IKE THE MAN OF SEX HIMSELF????????
MAN OF SEX???
the vocal control in this is INSANE. esp at 2:40 jesus christ
Ike I can feel your thoughts and emotions in this song you created. Thank you for sharing your talent to us. I am so happy you are here with us and also so proud of your accomplishments. I am on the verge of crying when I saw the Quilldren (us) in the MV. We are so happy that our existence also made you smile☺️ Otsu👏👏👏
It feels like there is a deeper meaning here.. both this song and Chronos are about being helpless as time advances, and being afraid to end the pain while also fearing what may happen if you attempted to reach out for help.
I may be reading too much into it, but... if i'm not, know you aren't alone, Ike. It may feel hopeless- but as shown in the end of the video here, freedom can be grasped so long as one can take the first step to recovery.
It'll be okay. We won't abandon you to that prison- we'll remain by your side through thick and thin. If anything horrible is happening in your life, or anyone's here for that matter.. just remember the darkest nights always lead to the brightest sunrises.
Stay strong, and you will be able to find the happiness you seek.
Yes I think the same thing and it's like a hidden meaning
Kicking, screaming, gritting my teeth at how fucking amazing it is that he produced this all on his own!!! The harsh and clean vocals!!! The guitars!!! GODDAMN I want to be able to create something like this 😭😭
GOD IKE YOU SPOIL US SO MUCH AAAAAAAAAAAAA LETS GOOOOOOOO
The song is very sad... But then there's a hope, a glimmer of light at the end, you know, some may be too afraid to call it hope but reaching that light alone is a bravery on its own. Thank you for sharing your art that you pour so much of yourself to us, Ike Eveland. Forever grateful to know you 💙
Also kudos to nahusnab who did a fantastic job visualizing the song. There's so much thoughts put into making this possible. I see this song more of a a story in a form of art, so when I see it and listen to it, I try to understand the story. It did touch me and move me in many ways. Sorry for rambling in the comment lol. I really appreciate this masterpiece so much.
I'M SO EXCITED TO HEAR IKE'S ORIGINAL SONG, AND THE QUILLDRENS ARE NOT PREPARED FOR THIS!
Also, Im transcribing the lyrics after the music video ends
it's been 13 days and Blue Light still hits so HARD.... Ikey you really created a masterpiece with your own two hands right there
The fact that Ike himself was behind every step of the making of the song makes it one of the most impressive pieces of work I've ever heard from a VTuber...and the overall quality makes it the most impressive thing I've ever heard from any solo artist in recent memory.
And I won't even mention the fact that I myself have been through the songwriting process more than 300 times over a span of more than 8 years, yet all of the products of every repetition of that cycle combined don't even hold a candle to this.
Also I wonder if Ike perhaps took any inspiration from the Architects--it didn't take long for me to draw parallels in my mind between this song and their song "Death Is Not Defeat"
...I would totally pay to hear Ike do a cover of that song now
Personally, the song itself felt quite deep. Not being brave enough to make that step but neither to brave enough to end everything. Not unlucky enough but neither lucky enough. Watching everything lead to an unwanted ending but not doing anything to stop it. Stuck between decisions and wonder if this is just the way that was meant to be. Enduring everything and understanding that life is just like this but still hoping for a better ending.
Be the person you choose to be and the way you choose to succeed, life is too short to grief.
this made me tear up
@@luca_013_ whatever in life that is making you sad, remember that rainbows only come after the rain, I hope everything goes well for you from here on 💙
The meaning of this song, it's too personal. It is exactly what i'm going through. As for the solution.... i don't have it. There is so much i could do, but would it ultimately be worth it at all? I could do one thing, but what is to say that the other isn't better? I could do the most practical thing and commit myself to the job of my choosing, but wouldn't i then loose what makes me me, a person more so than a biological machine? I could commit to doing what i like, but wouldn't that leave me utterly useless? I could commit to an artform for self expression, but wouldn't i then be the same as so many others, enjoyed, but ultimately not remembered? What is the right path to choose? How do i know that it will fulfill me? I don't know....
@@phancanedoo013 I'm sorry to hear that you are going through a really hard time now... I don't know any advice to give to you as it is your own life and not for others to interfere. However, something I wanted to say is that life itself does not have a purpose, but instead, the one who is living it creates the purpose. No one can be forever remembered and when someone passes away, their life, whether meaningful or not, whether the choices were correct or not, can be put into simple words (e.g. "They dropped out of college and worked at a barbers shop, married at 25 and passed away two years ago, what a pity"). You yourself will have to be the one to know the exciting story behind the plain words. Just like no one will be remembered forever, neither their choices being right or wrong will be remembered. The point of life is that you never know what happens and everything is random or unexpected, it would be very boring and painful if you knew the ending to everything, wouldn't it? Nothing is completely right or wrong and if you did what you could, that is enough. We all know that death is the ending then why not try to plot your own story before it happens? This world will be full of hope one day and I wish the very best to you being the novelist of your own life.
This song, combined with its music video, has a pretty consistent ability to make me cry. And I'll tell you, there hasn't been a song that's had that effect on me since Tristam's "Crave," which is 8 years older than this!
Ike did everything himself. What a legend!
What about the animator 😭
@@kenjiroushirabu7842 everything, except animation and art (?) :)
Still impressing!
@@kiyaltee The "movie" was made by nahusnab. It says so at 0:23
"To be alive with no goal is slowly draining my soul"
the lyrics hit me, the emotion, everything
God this song is going to feel even more painful if/when Ike graduates. Interpreting the lyrics as what his experience has been being a v-tuber, and not to mention the chained and rebirth part of the lyrics, it feels heart-wrenching.
Lots of love and support Ike! Hoping for a bright future and nothing but joy for you.
Not the g-word
exactly what i was thinking
Jesus, Ike. These lyrics are grabbing my soul, yanking at it, forcing me to look at myself. Just like a mirror. It's been a while since a song has touched me so deep inside.
THE WOMAN WAS TOO STUNNED TO SPEAK
Ike personality: 🤗🤭💖💕🌼
THE SONG : ⛓️🎸💥
... MARRY ME
Eveland-P、あまりにも天才すぎる！！サビ前の力強いデスボと、サビのキレイな高音のギャップがたまらなく大好きだ〜！！
そして、最後がもう…やばい…！！
Ike is a genius fr. I like how the last note doesn't resolve, it gives you that feeling of moving forward and things not being over yet. A sense of hope and anticipation. Amazing song 👏👏
the emotion ike carries in his voice is unlike anyone else ive heard. like it’s so raw and real that i find myself getting chills or feeling emotional without fail. everytime he sings it’s like he’s telling a story.
Lyrics (not so sure at 3:53 btw)
Ever since one fated day
my world's been fading to gray
Despite the unclouded sky
Staining the Earth with its dye
Afraid of taking the leap
Or to forevermore sleep
With cowardice as my guard
I'll keep enduring these scars
A spiral without an end
To solitude I'm condemned
Barely able to recall
How full of joy I omce was
My life now follows this trend
Of every day that i spend
Staring into a screen
And simply daring to
DREAM
OH HOW FUCKING FOOLISH THAT I USED TO BE
WHY DID I EVER THINK FORGIVENESS WOULD BE GRANTED TO ME
Sealed
Within an embrace of chilling contempt
Its clear for all to see
This is where I've always belonged
The future I've Chased
Of which I've Dreamt
Begins its slow entropy
A fate so cruely prolonged
Another sunrise to greet
another taste of defeat
The cycle's once more disturbed
And time feels all the more blurred
To be alive with no goal
Its slowly draining my soul
If my whole life's been in vain
I think i might go
I N S A N E
SAY
WHAT ELSE IS LEFT
BUT REMAINING AS A SLAVE TO MONOTONY
SAY
WHAT IS MY CAUSE
HOW LONG WILL THIS NIGHTMARE GO ON
Sealed
Within an embrace f chilling contempt
Its clear for all to see
This is where I've always belonged
The future I've Chased
Of which I've Dreamt
Begins its slow entropy
A fate so cruely prolonged
JUST LET ME FEEL AT P E A C E
I WONDER IF I WERE TO TAKE THAT ONE FINAL STEP
WILL THE (sky? Not sure) LET ME SLEEP
Chained inside
what I once thought would become my sanctuary
The shackles rust
yet never break
Forged
To see myself torn
By which path I'll pursue
Maybe I'll be reborn
And return as somebody new
And if that were to be
I could make up for everything I lack
So the next time the sky smiles at me
I can smile back
THANKK YOUU WE NEED THIISSSS
holy shit, he really just said "let me do everything myself" this is such an amazingly composed, mixed and mastered song!! insane skills, sasuga ike eveland
I tried singing this song today, and my throat didn't die, but that's besides the point. Ike, you were the one that gave me courage to do my first metal song, which is this one. My gratitude for that is immeasurable, and the video kind of sucks in the metal parts, since the ending parts of the metal go on for a lot longer. Now this isn't about me, but you. Thank you for giving this song to all of your fans Ike, it truly is a pleasure to our voice, ears, and eyes.
กรี้ดมันออกมาค่ะ!!! ผู้ชายคนนี้คือเทพพระบุตรชัดๆ!!! ขอบคุณที่เกิดมานะคะสุดหล่อ😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🛐🛐🛐🛐
"Another sunrise to greet, another taste to defeat" god I love that line
OMG ORIGINAL SONG AAAAAAAAAA
the credit is absolute insane!!
composition, lyrics, arrangement, recording, mixing, mastering, vocals all from the same person……?? OH MY FRIKING GODDDD
2:41 ここ好きすぎる
IKE-P天才すぎてすごい…
I needed a lot of time to let this song sink in because it plunged my mental state into a dark place. Like a painfully slow, inevitable caress, guiding my line of sight to look straight at the horrifyingly endless void deep inside me. I never acknowledged it, in hopes of "faking it until I make it". Instead, it's...a fate so cruelly prolonged. That lyric hit me very hard.
Even it makes my heart sink every time, I can't help listening. Despite the dark meaning, your songs always put up a fight despite the odds. Always. Please keep fighting. I know you keep saying lyrics are not where your strength lies, but the INCREDIBLE attention to detail cannot escape my ears. How you make the piano sound like a cry in a big empty room. I am scared to say anything more because I am not good in music but there is so much more.
Thank you for your very thoughtful musical skill, Ike Eveland.
もう声が楽器なんよ
底のない海でどうしようもない感情と溺れていくみたいで好きだ……かっこいいのに儚い
Your voice is your instrument now.
I like it like I'm drowning in a bottomless sea with helpless emotions. ...... cool yet fragile
Praying everyday for the streaming services release
REAL
IKE NEVER DISAPPOINTS
It's been 7 months, and i am stll incredibly hooked up Ike your songs make my heart so full of warmth I really love them !
WHY AM I ONLY HEARING THIS NOW THIS IS THE KIND OF MUSIC THAT I LOVE 😭😭
Hi, Ike
I'm a new fan and didnt watch any vtubers before you. But my friend said there was an EN vtuber who did covers of heavy rock songs and can do metal scream. I love metal music, so I decided to check you out. I really like your songs. I'm watching your past streams and enjoy them too. Please keep up the good work!
just some recommendation and please brush it off if you dont like, but since you like metal i really recommend Kagami Hayato from the JP side, he is one of Ike’s idols and they actually did some covers together, Mayday on this channel and T.Y.R.A.N.T on Kagami’s (you can find it in Ike’s “things i helped with” playlist).
And if you are interested in more EN corpo metal-loving vtuber, Banzoin Hakka from HolostarsEN is one amazing dude
If you like ike you should definitely check out hakka from holostars en. He is also a metal singer and he writes his own metal songs just like ike.
LITERALLY PROUD OF YOU MAN
This piece is incredibly powerful, I hadn't notice that Ike was the one to compose and create the lyrics for it -- and I couldn't help but want to express the affections that I've felt throughout this five minutes. The power in Ike's voice is, of course, an extremely important aspect to the experience -- but more for me was the lyrics, the composition itself. The initial strings that filter into the rock style, the calm to the chaos. My interpretations are perhaps over analysis of the overall piece, but nonetheless one that I wanted to express -- initially is the feeling of creeping dread, as anxiety usually comes in. The tightening of the chest and the body reacting the mind is typically felt but not visible, as most emotions are. The blue light of the screens do feel quite blinding many times, staining our eyes with light that was never meant to be used for, and the shackles of the creeping symptoms of imposter syndrome pulling in.
The point that got me to tear up silently, was the very end. The lack of completion, because for Ike, there is no written ending. As true to his position as a novelist, one's story isn't prewritten, it's filled with the experiences, emotions, cognitions, and all other senses that we feel as humans throughout our life. The endless dread and anxiety will always be there, unfortunately, however it's up to the individual to see if one is willing to find peace with it. Be proud, keep your chin up, and express who you are most comfortable being -- because when one sees others in a comfortable position, one can't help but feel the same sense of comfort in their own way.
To Ike, thank you for this powerful piece, and I look forward to the continuation of your journey dear c:
1:14 はい、最高です。ありがとう神様。生きててよかった。
I love how this mans just so calm and happy all the time then in his covers and songs just-
*inner demons released*
This is whole song is so fucking deep and fantastically executed while being an absolute BANGER - seriously, the arrangement, the visuals, your fantastic vocals…?! I am living for this, it’s just too damn good! Kudos Ike, I hope you’re nothing short of fucking proud of yourself, this is a masterpiece! ♥️
Sasuga Ike Eveland, this never disappoints
Edit after premier: SHEEESH HE POPPED OFF, can’t wait to stream this
Ikey, I think you are a wonderful and talented man. The song is so good… but the lyrics… I was feeling like that 3 years ago. Now, I overcame severe depression and I'm controlling my anxiety really well. I found my purpose in this world and even if there’s negative points in everything, there are also good point on everything and everyone 'cause that’s how life is. If it was perfectly fine we wouldn’t be brave, empathetic, humble, or even intelligent. I changed the title of my past. It was "trauma" but now is "experience". I'm really happy now, Ikey. And I know that you’ll feel like this one day. Keep working hard. Keep getting out of your comfort zone. Put your time and energy in stuff that are REALLY worth it. You won’t see the rainbow right away, sweetheart. It will take a while, maybe more or less than my experience. But it will come, Ikey. I thought it wouldn’t but it did 'cause I decided to keep living, 'cause I kept working hard and did things the right way. We love you, Ikey. We really do!
And for the Quilldren who feel like this, the message is for y’all too and whoever reads my text. Everything’s going to be ok. 🐛🦋
And I'm sorry if I wrote something wrong. My first language is the spanish.
I wish this was on spotify so that I can listen to this repeatedly HAHASGSHA this is so addicting I keep coming back here
SAMMMEEE I WISH AS WELL
NO WAY!!! HE ACTUALLY MADE AN ORIGINAL SONG?!?! I CANNOT WAIT TO BE AT THE PREMIER!!!
all of ike's songs give me chills
Ike just can't stop. I love him so much.
I just want to sing this song alone in a soundproof room and screm every word it says SO LOUD till my voice is gone for a whole week.
This is how i feel whenever i listen to this song.
Ike...
You made a masterpiece...
I never listen to this genre of music...
Now i listen to it only with your voice...
Prayage 🙏🏻.
Amen.
I'm back listening to this gem. Just let me feel at PEACE!!!
The part at 3:37 goes so hard it’s crazy. The whole song is amazing
Holy shit I wish all the quilldren could give you one big hug. You really do mean a lot to us. You never fail to put a smile on our faces and you’re so sweet, funny, and caring. I know that may be what you put on for the screen, but from what we’ve all seen, you really do care about everyone. Your friends, your loved ones, and, in a different way, your quilldren. I know whichever “path” you choose to take, you’ll end up in a good place. One befit for nothing less than a king like yourself.
This was an absolute banger of a song. The lyrics make me hope you’re doing ok, but they definitely make this song such a good one. You can feel the amount of emotions and meaning that all of the lyrics work to convey. Thanks for your hard work Ike 💙💙💙

One of the most talented people of all time
This song is so incredibly underrated
ike’s voice duality still surprises me
Lyrics (taken from the Lyrical Nonsense Website)
Ever since one fated day
My world’s been fading to gray
Despite the unclouded sky
Staining the Earth with its dye
Afraid of taking the leap
Or to forevermore sleep
With cowardice as my guard
I’ll keep enduring these scars
A spiral without an end
To solitude I’m condemned
Barely able to recall
How full of joy I once was
My life now follows this trend
Of every day that I spend
Staring into a screen
And simply daring to dream
Oh, how fucking foolish that I used to be
Why did I ever think forgiveness would be granted to me
Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt
It’s clear for all to see
This is where I’ve always belonged
The future I’ve chased
Of which I’ve dreamt
Begins its slow entropy
A fate so cruelly prolonged
Another sunrise to greet
Another taste of defeat
The cycle’s once more disturbed
And time feels all the more blurred
To be alive with no goal
Is slowly draining my soul
If my whole life’s been in vain
I think I might go insane
Say, what else is left
But remaining as a slave to monotony
Say, what is my cause?
How long will this nightmare go on?
Sealed within an embrace of chilling contempt
It’s clear for all to see
This is where I’ve always belonged
The future I’ve chased
Of which I’ve dreamt
Begins its slow entropy
A fate so cruelly prolonged
Just let me feel at peace
I wonder if I were to take that one final step
Will the sky let me sleep?
Chained inside what I once thought
Would become my sanctuary
The shackles rust
Yet never break
Forced to see myself torn
By which path I’ll pursue
Maybe I’ll be reborn
And return as somebody new
And if that were to be
I could make up for everything I lack
So the next time the sky smiles at me
I can smile back
Easily one of the Peak EN original 😭
THIS IS SUCH A BANGER OMG. AND IKE MADE IT ALL BY HIMSELF??? ITS SUCH A GREAT SONG. THE LYRICS HAVE SUCH DEEP MEANING AND I LIVE FOR IT. HIS VOCALS ARE SO GOOD TOO. IKE DID GREAT ON THE SONG!!! THANK YOU IKE FOR SUCH ETHEREAL FOOD
I'M SPEECHLESS WHAT IS THIS MELODY 🔥🔥🔥
I'm so glad Mr.Eveland here is my introduction to heavy metal and I'm loving it
EDIT: THIS WAS DEFINITELY A CERTIFIED BANGER HOLY HELL LISTENING TO THIS ON LOOP AS WE SPEAK !!
LETS FREAKING GOOOOOO, ON THE FLOOR IN TEARS, THIS IS GONNA BE ANOTHER CERTIFIED BANGER
ALL NIJI ORIGNAL SONGS ARE ALWAYS A BANGER OMGGG
Legit one of my favorite songs ever now, the mixing is IMMACULATE, the singing is perfect and super melodic, the guitar, bass and drums sound so fucking powerful (+ the playing is amazing), and the song is very emotional with just enough variety and that half time legit made me cry
Even without trying to get technical (I'm a noob), this is an absolute banger
this song is so catchy like it’s been stuck in my head all week omg
Found this while listening to the song “Dupe - Balling” 🫡🫡
I could hear the sadness in his voice when singing part of the ending. No matter what fate you have, we'll always be here for you no matter what, we're proud of you ike and we hope that you'll see the happiness you bring in everyones lives including mine 💙
I was not expecting to get slapped with so much emotions and realism with this... Ike's talent knows no barrier, congratulations on this amazing song 💙 I will now keep on ugly crying while listening to the song on repeat
I ALWAYS COME BACK TO THIS SONG. I FEEL IT SO MUCH AAAA
