Comment from Nauru
This was my first opportunity to write lyrics specifically for a TV series. Growing up, the world of theater was like an oasis to me. Writing and singing lyrics inspired by that world feels like a dream come true. Just imagining it gets me excited. To rock, to be rocked, to leave something behind. Some nights, I fall asleep immersed in the lingering feeling. Some nights, I want to forget everything, even the shadows, and drift off to sleep. When emotions make your heart race, you realize how difficult they are to control. I resonated deeply with Aoi’s frustration with unmanageable emotions and her search for answers to love, which I tried to reflect in the lyrics. I created a place where you can come when everything feels overwhelming, a place where you can let your emotions overflow. I hope this song helps you collect the lingering memories of each day and make them your own, only to sometimes emerge with clarity and stir your heart again.
