Where the Moon Feels Warm / 月が温かい場所
KAGEKŌ · Dark J-Rock Ballad · Mixed EN/JP
Mood: Vulnerable, Warm, Hopeful

[MALE][VERSE]
(spoken-sung, raw, quiet)
Legs over the edge, city lights below
冷たい風が
Neon bleeding into the dark
Same moon that watched me steal that guitar
Same moon that saw me bleed in the alley
I thought it was cold
I thought nothing could change
The roof used to feel like the loneliest place
But tonight there's a warmth I don't understand

[FEMALE][CHORUS]
(warm, reaching)
I found you here, ここにいたんだ
Sitting in the dark like you always do
I don't need a reason, 理由なんていらない
I just need to sit beside you
The moon's the same moon, 変わらない月
But you're not alone tonight
屋根の上で, hand in mine
Where the moon feels warm, 月が温かい場所

[MALE][VERSE]
(cracking open, vulnerable)
I don't know how to say this, 言葉にならない
I've spent my whole life building walls
Bricks made of silence and broken glass
And you just walked through them
Like they weren't there
You asked me once what I'm afraid of
震える声で
I'm not afraid of the dark
I'm afraid of what happens when someone stays

[DUET][CHORUS]
(voices weaving together)
We found each other here, ここで出会った
Sitting in the dark like we always do
(Male) I don't need a reason
(Female) 理由なんていらない
(Both) We just need to sit beside each other
The moon's the same moon, 変わらない月
But we're not alone tonight
屋根の上で, hand in mine
Where the moon feels warm, 月が温かい場所

[MALE][BRIDGE]
(soft, almost spoken)
The moon used to feel cold when I was a kid
Like it was watching but didn't care

[FEMALE]
(whisper, tender)
And now?

[MALE]
(voice cracking, raw)
Now it feels warm

[MALE][SCREAM]
(yell, breaking open)
I spent my whole life running from the light!
Because I thought the dark was all I deserved!
You showed up and proved me wrong!
影と光が出会う夜!

[DUET][CHORUS]
(building, triumphant)
影と光が, one roof, one moon, two souls
I found you here, ここにいたんだ
And I'm never letting go
(Female) The roof isn't lonely anymore
(Male) 月が温かい場所
(Both) Where the moon feels warm

[FEMALE][OUTRO]
(breathy, fading to silence)
Where the moon feels warm...
月が温かい...
Warm...
