Dustcell - 過去の蜃気楼 / Mirage Of The Past

In a world filled with pretense and borrowed expressions, it's all too easy to get swept up in the mirage of the past. We often find ourselves pretending to like certain things, going through the motions without truly experiencing them. It's like sitting in a concert, nodding along to the music everyone else loves, while secretly despising it. We become drunk on the borrowed phrases and ideas of others, losing our own voice in the process.

But there's a deeper longing within us, a desire to break free from the web of pretense and embrace our true selves. It's in those moments when we find the courage to speak with our own words and our own voice that we discover the true joy of singing. However, as time goes by, fear starts to creep in. We become scared of expressing ourselves authentically, fearing that we might fail or be judged.

The Empty Heart and the Yearning for More

As we navigate through the shimmering summer of life, something feels missing. Our hearts ache for something more, something real. We find ourselves surrounded by mirages, illusions of happiness and fulfillment, but behind our closed eyelids, it all becomes blurry. We realize how weak we truly are, shrouded in the worst kind of sky - a sky that lacks purpose and meaning.

Words, no matter how hollow or empty, hold some value for those who wield them. Some people use words to elevate themselves, speaking as if they know everything. But in a way, this pretense has also saved us. Our pathetic yet funny nature allows us to navigate the complexities of life with a certain charm. It's the way we've lived until now, not always being honest with ourselves and others. Sometimes, we just want to sleep and escape the demands of the world.

The Songs That Save Us

In these moments of vulnerability, we turn to the songs that save others. We find solace in the melodies and lyrics that speak to our souls. These songs have the power to move us, to remind us of the beauty and authenticity we long for. They offer us a glimpse of hope, a promise that tomorrow or someday, we can find the strength to be true to ourselves.

But convincing ourselves is no easy feat. It takes courage to break free from the mirage of the past and embrace a new future. We must confront our fears and challenge the illusions that surround us. Only then can we truly move forward. The mirage that once held so much power over us becomes nothing more than a faded memory. There are no tears left for what was lost; instead, there is a newfound determination to live a stronger, more authentic life.

Embracing the Inviting Parabola

With each passing day, we step into the embrace of an inviting parabola. It's a curve that represents growth, learning, and self-discovery. We no longer cling to the lies of the past but instead choose to embrace our truth. We say goodbye to days filled with pretense and welcome a future where we are stronger and more genuine.

The mirages may still exist, but they hold no power over us. We see through their illusions and choose to live our lives with authenticity and purpose. The wind that once carried us towards empty desires now lifts our hair with a sense of freedom. We recognize that this life is too short to be wasted on lies and borrowed phrases.

So let us walk forward, hand in hand, into the warmth of a new day. We may stumble along the way, but the songs that saved us will guide our footsteps. Together, we can create a world where mirages are nothing more than distant memories, and our voices resonate with truth and resilience.
