MY CONFESSO Track #8

"No Clothes, No Pose" – Track Description
A laid-back jazz-infused boom-bap anthem with a lo-fi chill meets nerdcore vibe, "No Clothes, No Pose" blends soulful sax loops, warm vinyl textures, and deep boom-bap drums with sharp, politically charged lyricism.

The track rides on a smooth, rolling bassline while chopped jazz samples and eerie synth pads set the atmosphere. Poetic yet heavy-hitting, the lyrics expose the sellout of power, corruption in high places, and the awakening of the people. The chant-worthy hook—"No Clothes, No Pose"—hits like a warning, calling out the façade of leadership.

This is revolution wrapped in chill, a cipher over coffee, a riot set to swing rhythms. 🔥🚀

UMI NU KOE (VOICE OF THE SEA)
Lyrics

[Intro – Whispered]
Umi nu uta ya… watashii nu chimu…
(The sea’s song… my heart…)
Chimu nu kanaasa… nankuru nai sa…
(Kindness in heart… all will be well…)

[Verse 1]
Asa nu hikari… yumee kara chii
(Morning light… I rise from dream)
Miyako kara Yaeyama… kazenu oto
(From Miyako to Yaeyama… the sound of wind)
Watashii ya chimu nu uta chui
(My heart carries this song)
Voice of the sea… still callin’ me…

[Pre-Chorus]
Tida nu chikara… nu nakan a tee
(The sun’s power… I carry it in me)
Hajichi yaa… loving soul
(Ancestral markings… modern soul)
Sabira… watashii du nakan shii
(I will go forward… I’m not afraid)

[Chorus – Fuji-style Flow]
Umi nu koe… umi nu koe…
(Voice of the sea… voice of the sea…)
Chimu ni hibiku… watashii nu uta
(It echoes in my heart… it is my song)

We rise again… we rise again…
Tida nu chikara… yaa nankuru nai sa
(The sun’s strength… all will be well)

Nuchi du takara… nuchi du takara…
(Life is treasure… life is treasure…)
Watashii ya tashii… umi nu koe
(I keep walking… to the sea’s voice)

[Verse 2]
Naha nu michi… sanshin nu ne
(Naha’s streets… sound of the sanshin)
Gajumaru shita… warabee warai
(Beneath the banyan… children laughing)
Uya nu uta… watashii chui
(The ancestors’ song… lives in me)
Spirit walkin’… sea and sky…

[Pre-Chorus – Soft Repeat]
Tida nu chikara… nu nakan a tee
Hajichi yaa… loving soul
Sabira… watashii du nakan shii

[Chorus – Layered Repeat]
Umi nu koe… umi nu koe…
Chimu ni hibiku… watashii nu uta
We rise again… we rise again…
Tida nu chikara… nankuru nai sa

Nuchi du takara… nuchi du takara…
Watashii ya tashii… umi nu koe

[Bridge – Spoken Chant + Echo]
Yaeyama nu kami ya chimu ni haitii…
(The spirit of Yaeyama enters my heart)
Miyako nu hi ya… wata nu tee…
(The fire of Miyako is in my hands)
We are the sea… we are the soul
Uchinā chimu… still here…
Umi nu koe… I still believe…

[Final Chorus – Slow Build to Finish]
Umi nu koe… umi nu koe…
Callin’ me home… eternally
We rise… we rise… fire inside…
Tida nu chikara… carry me…

Nuchi du takara… never forget
The ocean sings… we’re not done yet
Voice of the sea… umi nu koe…
Still lives in me… forever we stay…

[Outro – Whispered Fade]
Umi nu koe… chimu nu uta…
Nuchi du takara…
