Creative Inspiration

Songs for the Broken Dream section of Chapter 3 from the novel Seven Reincarnations. This song was composed based on the plot and atmosphere of the novel's chapters. Understanding the novel's content will help in grasping the imagery and emotions the song seeks to convey.

Throughout human history, there's "no future beyond prediction, endlessly skipping, replaying and replaying." Amidst "noisy crowds like ants," who is the one that suddenly turns around to look back?

Music Style

  • Rock: Tracks #11 and #12 primarily use a slow rock rhythm. Especially in #11, the opening sequence kicks off with an epic nuclear explosion as a thrilling start — even if the world is blown to ruins, we still rock!
  • Cinematic: Creates dramatic tension and a sense of visual storytelling.
  • Atmospheric: Enhances spatial depth and sonic ambiance.
  • Struggle: Adds emotions of resistance and inner conflict.
  • Desperation: Conveys helplessness and emotional breakdown.
  • Brooding: Infuses a moody, introspective, and emotionally repressed tone.
  • Emotional: Brings emotional fluctuations that resonate with the listener.
  • Hope: Ultimately adds a touch of hope.

Lyrics

  
[Verse]
Shell's unending demands
Thoughts like swirling dust across sky
Noisy crowds like ants
Mutually deceiving rogue nations

[Chorus]
Want to escape
Even if just a brief respite
Want to hide
Like a trapped beast in a snare
Want to leave
Yet stuck in time-space fog
Who is shouting
Who wants to break free

[Verse]
Hypocritical and absurd history
Crushed mercilessly by fate's wheel
No future beyond prediction
Endlessly skipping, replaying and replaying

[Chorus]
Want to escape
Even if just a brief respite
Want to hide
Like a trapped beast in a snare
Want to leave
Yet stuck in time-space fog
Who is shouting
Who wants to break free

[Bridge]
Delusions, deceptions, greed and desires
Overflowing, boiling in mirages
No direction to flee
Never a heaven to hide

[Chorus]
Want to escape
Even if just a brief respite
Want to hide
Like a trapped beast in a snare
Want to leave
Yet stuck in time-space fog
Who is shouting
Who wants to break free

Only exit lies... lies...

[Verse]
Thoughts like swirling dust across sky
Mutually deceiving rogue nations
Hypocritical and absurd history
Endlessly skipping, replaying and replaying

[Chorus]
Want to escape
Even if just a brief respite
Want to hide
Like a trapped beast in a snare
Want to leave
Yet stuck in time-space fog
Who is shouting
Who wants to break free

[Outro]
Who is shouting
Who wants to break free
Who is shouting
Who wants to break free
Who is shouting
Who wants to break free
...
