LOSTAGE Lyrics

The lyrics to LOSTAGE's song "こどもたち" depict a traveler who is departing from a promised day, leaving with a voice cut off as if in pain. The person's skin is rough, representing dangerous thoughts, while time stands still, like a treasure mountain. The lyrics then question why the singer knew about all this and what they were saying. The singer describes themselves as a knife and their life as a sculpture, suggesting a sense of self-destructive tendencies. They emphasize that they are not far away, but they no longer exist. The lyrics further express a desire to escape to a distant place, asking where to go on a blackout night. The children who move around in that night, with various hair colors and voices, reference the aftermath of a dream where they flew in the sky. The shapes in the dream have been erased and changed. The song repeats the questioning of why the singer knew and what they were saying. Finally, they reiterate being a knife and their life as a sculpture, emphasizing that they are not far away, but they no longer exist.
