The word “reki” has a double meaning in Japanese. It can either mean “pebble” or “to be run over”. After being in a car accident, I wrote this song with this title in mind which was influenced by the Japanese anime “Haibane Renmei” which speaks of a girl that has two possible future paths and has this name with two possible meanings. She becomes Reki (轢, to be run over), should she fail to escape her tragic fate. If she overcomes her failures, she remains Reki (礫, pebble) and becomes a stepping stone in a path for others to follow. I felt that this was an appropriate title to perhaps portray how I was feeling during the time of the accident.
