Dark Matter (Acoustic)
[Instrumental Intro - 32 bars, no lyrics, immediately aggressive tone, fading into a more somber tone for the verse] [Verse 1 – Japanese (romanji)] Sabishisa ni oborete Kowareta koe ga sakebu Kabe ni utsuru kage wa Ore dake o nagameteiru Yoru ga mune o sasu Kaze wa kotae o motanai Te o nobashite mo mada Kūhaku dake ga nokoru [Pre-Chorus – English] I keep searching through the silence, For the one who’ll call me home. Someone to catch me when I’m falling, Someone to say I’m not alone. [Chorus – English] I need a heart to beat beside me, A voice to break the quiet air. I’m tired of ghosts inside me, Of loving shadows that aren’t there. I need her warmth to fill my hollow, To stand with me through fire and rain. To whisper “I love you” tomorrow, And shatter silence — make me feel alive again. [Verse 2 – Japanese (romanji)] Jibun o ushinatte Koe sae kie kakete Hakanai negai wa mada Yami no naka de moe tsuzuku Kizu darake no kokoro Kakenukeru oto mo naku Kiete yuku omoi ni Hikari wa mada tooi [Pre-Chorus – English] I’m still waiting in the ruins, For the light to break the sky. I just need her arms around me, To remind me I’m alive. [Chorus – English] I need a heart to beat beside me, A voice to break the quiet air. I’m tired of ghosts inside me, Of loving shadows that aren’t there. I need her warmth to fill my hollow, To stand with me through fire and rain. To whisper “I love you” tomorrow, And shatter silence — make me feel alive again. [Instrumental Breakdown – 32 bars] (Distorted guitars + record scratches + heavy drum syncopation. Gradual buildup with layered screams and echoing whispers of “Dark Matter… Dark Matter…”) [Bridge – 8 bars | Alternating Japanese/English] Kimi no te ga fureru toki (My heart starts to breathe again) Kowareta toki o tsunaide (You’re the calm inside my pain) Kurai sora no mukou ni (You said “I love you,” it’s real) Sono koe de, subete ga (That’s the way this void will heal) [Chorus – English] I need a heart to beat beside me, A voice to break the quiet air. I’m tired of ghosts inside me, Of loving shadows that aren’t there. I need her warmth to fill my hollow, To stand with me through fire and rain. To whisper “I love you” tomorrow, And shatter silence — make me feel alive again. [Final Chorus – English] I need a heart to beat beside me, A voice to break the quiet air. I’m tired of ghosts inside me, Of loving shadows that aren’t there. I need her warmth to fill my hollow, To stand with me through fire and rain. To whisper “I love you” tomorrow, And shatter silence — make me feel alive again. [Instrumental Outro - 32 bars fading out with a single, long and drawn out scream.]
