I had recorded an early demo of this tune in the 1990s on a TEAC 4-track cassette recorder playing a Yamaha steel string and later added classical guitar parts. Sadly I lost that tape. So I’ve reconstructed it digitally with new arrangements using my Akai keyboard or scoring it directly into my DAW editor.

A lot of synth guitars and keyboards set to hip hop beats at 85 bpm. 

Hard rainfall audio recorded live in December 2023.

birth.

生まれ落ちた故の
悲しみ 背負い
痛みに人は涙を流す
この世に成る事 慈しみ
果てのない 旅と
人は唱えた

終わるその時に果たされた
数は果たして幾つと
問うては堕ちて
悶え苦しんだその先に
またしても 僕はここへ堕ちた

スライド 見えない
暗い胎動
始まりに堕ちた終点を見た
唱え 籠る
音に捕らわれた
悟ってしまえば何もなかった

close your eyes.
僕は 息をしている　　
close your eyes.　　
明日はまだ暗いまま

生まれ落ちた故の
この意味 背負い
痛みに僕は 何を夢見る
この世に成る事の苦しみ
果てのない 痛み僕は明日へ
息をする事の尊さを
忘れてしまう僕は　愚かと知る
傷 痛み 苦しみの果てに
僕は生まれ落ちた故の尊さを知る

スライド 見えない
暗い胎動
始まりに堕ちた終点を見た
唱え 籠る
音に捕らわれた
悟ってしまえば何もなかった

close your eyes.
僕は 息をしている　　 
close your eyes.　　
明日は まだ暗いまま

定められた意味を
答えを 求め歩め
運命 明日へ繋げ
答えを 求め歩め　

close your eyes.
僕は 息をしている　　
close your eyes.　　
明日は まだ暗いまま
close your eyes.
僕は 息をしている　　　
close your eyes.　　
明日は まだ暗いまま

生まれ落ちたこの瞳に
僕は何を映し 涙を流すか
愛故の悲しみ 温もり抱き
歩み続ける事を 答えとした

birth. / Gama.

Lyrics and english translation

GLEITEN

Ich gleite durch die Straßen 
Nachts, abseits von all den Massen
Du siehst mich nicht, ich sehe dich
Ich folge hier den Schatten
Wir sprechen keine Worte,
Wir sprechen hier in Taten 
Du siehst kein Licht, du siehst mich nicht
Verlaufst du dich - Zerreißt es dich
Du verstehst meine Sprache nicht 
Ich verstehe deine Phrasen nicht 
Hier gibt es keine Rassen, hier Kämpfen nur die Klassen
Spiel weiter mit deiner Macht,
Treibe mehr Geister in die Nacht 

Sie schreiten
Sie schweben 
Bringen eurem Tag das Leben 

Gleiten / glide / Schreiten / glide 
Schreiten, schreiten, glide, glide, glide
Schreiten, gleiten, glide, glide, glide

Hier gibt es keine Schlagzeilen
Nur Zeilen zwischen grauen Zeiten 

Komm wir gleiten
Komm wir gleiten
Komm wir gleiten 
Komm wir gleiten

Komm wir schreiten, 
gleiten, tiefer in die Nacht
Sieh nicht hin, hier haben wir uns umgebracht

Die Kreide, sie ist lang verblichen 
Zuviel Regen, noch mehr dazwischen
Zuviel Chemie in einer sensiblen Biologie
Zuviel Energie in kalter "sic" Dämonkratie
Der Tag erwacht in neuem Licht 
Lass uns gleiten
Sie sehen uns (noch) nicht
Ich ziehe dich, ziehst du mich
Hoch über die Dächer, tief in den Abgrund
Hörte ich betörende Lügen, so kamen sie aus deinem Mund

Ich vergesse nicht, vergiss das nicht 
Vergiss mich nicht, ich vergesse mich
Vergesst mich nicht, vergesse mich 
Vergesst mich nicht, vergesse euch nicht
Vergesst mich nicht, vergiss mich nicht
Vergesst mich nicht, vergiss mich nicht
Vergesst mich nicht, Ich vergesse nicht

Ich vergesse nicht,
vergesse mich 
Ich vergesse dich,
vergesse nichts

GLIDE 

I glide through the streets
At night, away from the crowds
You don’t see me, but I see you
I follow the shadows here
We speak no words,
We speak through actions
You see no light, you don’t see me
If you get lost, it tears you apart
You don’t understand my language
I don’t understand your phrases
There are no races here, only classes fighting
Keep playing with your power,
Driving more ghosts into the night

They stride
They float
Bringing life to your day

Glide / glide / stride / glide
Stride, stride, glide, glide, glide
Stride, glide, glide, glide, glide

There are no headlines here
Only lines between gray times

Come, let’s glide
Come, let’s glide
Come, let’s glide
Come, let’s glide

Come, let’s stride,
Glide deeper into the night
Don’t look, we’ve killed ourselves here

The chalk has long faded
Too much rain, even more in between
Too much chemistry in a sensitive biology
Too much energy in a cold demoncracy
The day awakens in a new light
Let’s glide
They (still) don’t see us
I pull you, you pull me
High over the rooftops, deep into the abyss
If I heard seductive lies, they came from your mouth

I don’t forget, don’t forget that
Don’t forget me, I forget myself
Don’t forget me, I forget myself
Don’t forget me, I don’t forget you
Don’t forget me, don’t forget me
Don’t forget me, don’t forget me
Don’t forget me, I don’t forget

I don’t forget,
I forget myself
I forget you,
I forget nothing

TAKES A LONG LIFE TO GET WISER
AND THEN YOU'LL GROW OLD AND FEEL TIRED
A POT OF GOLD IS IN THE HORIZON
THE RAINBOW WONT SHINE ON YOU,  ANYMORE

TAKE THE ROAD TAKE THE LONG WAY
AROUND WE GO ANOTHER NEW DAY
MAKE BELIEVE IT'S ALWAYS SUNDAYS
AND HIT THE ROAD

(chorus)
EVERYDAY     EVERY-DAY
EVERYDAY     IN EVERY WAY

IT'S SOMETIMES ROUGH IT'S SOMETIMES LONELY
THE ANGRY SKY IT FEELS CRAZY
THE POT OF GOLD IS ON THE HORIZON
THE RAINBOW IT SHINES FOR YOU 

(REPEAT CHORUS)

EVERYDAY I CAN WAIT
I CAN SEE PAST TOMORROW
EVERYDAY I CAN PLAY
IN MY HEAD I THINK I'M DREAMING

MAKE BELIEVE IT'S ALWAYS SUNDAYS
AND HIT THE ROAD

(REPEAT CHORUS)
