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.
SURRENDER
LOSTAGE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tokareta hajimari
bou souni mieru no wa
oboeta iki basho
saigo ni dekiru no wa
koko ni wa inai koto
meni utsuru sari kiwa
ame no naka da
mata korobu yo
mado wo sute teikou
hatenai kuusou
kyou ni ashita wo mazeru
kyou ni ashita wo
hitori de asobenai
kyou ni ashita wo
kyou ni ashita wo mazeru
mou nigasu yo

wasuremono kimi wa mou dame to iu
raku na ueni amaeteiru
ijiwaru wo ijiwaru wo
kyou ni ashita wo mazeru

The lyrics of LOSTAGE's song "SURRENDER" explore the concept of accepting the past and moving forward. The first line, "tashika me ni iku no sa," can be translated to mean "I'm heading towards certainty." This sets the tone for the rest of the song, as it becomes clear that the singer has come to accept their current situation and is ready to move forward. The following line, "tokareta hajimari," which roughly translates to "the beginning has melted away," further emphasizes this theme of letting go.
The next two lines, "bou souni mieru no wa oboeta iki basho," can be interpreted to mean that what the singer can see in front of them is the place where they once took a breath. This suggests that they are revisiting a place from their past and that this visit has triggered some reflections on their life. They then state that there is nothing they can do about what has already happened, and they refuse to be defeated or saddened by it.
The chorus repeats the phrase "kyou ni ashita wo mazeru," which means "mixing today and tomorrow," emphasizing this idea of moving forward and not being stuck dwelling on the past.
Overall, "SURRENDER" encourages the listener to come to terms with their past and accept it for what it is, while also focusing on moving forward and creating a better future for oneself.

確かめに行くのさ
解かれた始まり

This sounds so incredible - melancholy, yet energetic and inspirational And I noticed that this was when they still had a 2nd guitarist; pretty cool ;)
