A rhythm section that repeats itself through the noisy feedback. Vocals that vibrate with a hysteric feel lyrically entwining within the deafening sound. And at the end of it all, distortion guitars that paint a beautiful landscape.... It's been a while for a band to appear that can give such an overwhelming view of the world through their sound. That band is lostage. A four piece hailing from Nara.

どうしようもないような事件と
Dou shiyou mo nai youna jiken to
いつもと変わらぬ日々は
Itsumo to kawaranu hibi wa
まるでクソ映画のような
Marude KUSO eiga no youna
出来合いの嘘に溢れてる
Dekiai no uso ni aware teru

崩れていく足音
Kuzurete iku ashioto

聞かせてくれないか旅人達のイメージを
Kika sete kurenai ka Tabibito-tachi no IMEEJI o
風の中舞い踊る息をするのも忘れて
Kaze no naka mai odoru Iki o suru no mo wasurete

煙草の灰が溢れて
Tabako no hai ga afurete
黙って誰かになってる
Damatte dareka ni natteru
箒で掃いたような景色を
Houki de haita youna keshiki o
銀色の眼で追いかけてる
Gin'iro no me de oikake teru

暮れていく日々のこと揺れている陽炎
Kurete iku hibi no koto Yurete iru kagerou

教えてくれないか星降る夜の事
Oshiete kurenai ka Hoshifuru yoru no koto
指を鳴らし続けてる息をするのも忘れて
Yubi o narashi tsudzuke teru Iki o suru no mo wasurete

臭い息を吐いて頬杖と欠伸ばかり
Kusai iki o haite Hoodzue to akubi bakari
している
Shiteiru
いつも
Itsumo

聞かせてくれないか旅人達のイメージを
Kika sete kurenai ka Tabibito-tachi no IMEEJI o
風の中舞い踊る息をするのも忘れて

Kaze no naka mai odoru Iki o suru no mo wasurete
Wasurete

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BLUE by lostage describe a feeling of being lost and trapped in a world that seems fake and predetermined. The first stanza describes events that seem inevitable and days that are the same as always, filled with lies and cliches like a bad movie. The second stanza talks about the sound of footsteps crumbling and asks the listeners if they can imagine the image of travelers dancing in the wind, forgetting to even breathe. The third stanza talks about the overflowing ash of a cigarette and the silence that turns into someone or something, chasing after the silver-eyed view that was swept away like the scenery by a broom. The final stanza talks about the days that are slowly fading away, and the mirages that are swaying, followed by the request to tell them about the nights when stars fell, to keep snapping fingers, and to forget to breathe.
