LITE - "Nomad"

[ Spiral ]

あの時　私
その時　あなたごと
知っていた　ならなんて
贅沢な事でしょう

飴を溶かす間に
シルエット　蠢いて
知っていたことなんて
噛み砕かれてしまうから

よもや一瞬のまばたきが
あはれ一生の出来事
重ねた素っ頓狂
フィルムが焼き切れるほど　プレイバック

あの時　は無し
その時ほどの事
繰り返すなら
なんて贅沢な事でしょうよ
 
あの時　私
その時　あなたごと
知っていたなら　なんで今
知っていたならなんて

あの時　私
その時　あなたごと
身についたもの全て
いらなくなってしまったの
プレイバック

あの時　は無し
その時ほどの事
繰り返すなら
なんて贅沢な事でしょうよ

あれら一瞬のまばたきと
そして一生の出来事
重ねた素っ頓狂
フィルムが焼き切れるほど　プレイバック

あの時　は無し
その時ほどの事
繰り返すなら
なんて贅沢な事でしょうよ

あの時　私
その時　あなたごと
知っていたならなんて
贅沢な事でしょう

Synthetic Dream

Third and final single from Mosaica.

For this one I went for a more uplifting theme; I wanted to make something that addresses the current doomerism/hopelessness I notice in a lot of people my age.

While I do fully understand that we face a lot of pressing, serious issues in society today (whether political, social, environmental, etc), a lot still seem to have very defeatist/fatalistic attitudes about them and the outcomes they may bring.

I'm not trying to promote some kind of naive optimism, like a "sit back, everything will be fine!" sort of message, because obviously things don't work like that; part of hope is working towards change. Without change, you're just daydreaming. It's very important to understand the severity of the challenges we face today and actively work towards fixing them, even if it involves fighting for change or dismantling the systems keeping us from getting there.

But at the same time I want people to try and look forward to a better future, and leave the doomer/"we're fucked" mentality behind, because if you think things are irrevocably fucked, then you won't be motivated to try and do anything about them.

I know this is gonna get some eye rolls, and I know this shit has been preached like a thousand times by dozens of different people, but I mean it with 100% sincerity.

just don't be a doomer, man
