e;in was hatched into the world by Junichi Yodo (guitar) and Takumi Kouno (drums) as a recording project. Based in Kyoto, they quickly attracted more members, Naosuke Wakahara (bass) and Takayuki Kanazawa (guitar). Once complete, the band began live performances to complement their recordings. Their first self-titled EP came in 2010 and immediately caused a stir in the Japanese independent scene. Going back to the studio after two more years, they released a second ep, carpe diem, in the fall of 2012 which further solidified their place as one of Japan’s up and coming post-rock quartets, alongside Toe and Lite. After another 3 years of song crafting and polishing, 2015’s Season for Reading is finally ready to take the world by storm.
京都にて河野、淀を中心に音源制作を目的として始動。インストゥルメンタルを基調とした、4ピースバンド。2010年に1st EP作成。幾度かのメンバーチェンジを経て2011年2月に現メンバーに落ち着き、音源制作だけに縛られずライブ活動を開始。 現在は当初のサックス、鍵盤、エレキギターによるサウンドからアコースティックギター、エレガットを中心にしたサウンドで楽曲制作し、独特の空気感を持った楽曲を日々作成し続けている。ライブではサウンド面の安定性を考え、エレキギターによるセットで活動、場合によってアコースティックセットでもライブを行う。2012年8月、2nd EP “carpe diem”をリリース 。

e;in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feeling so torn up and I can't seem to find my way
I feel just so alone
God I need You now
Take control of my life
I'm crying out to You now, I'm crying out to You now!
It shines so bright
Show me the way
Save me from destruction
My demons torment my life
Will I ever find the strength to carry on?
The Word of God says I am the salt
But I can't find the courage to speak out
I can't find a way to save myself from this hell
God I need You now
Take control of my life
I'm crying out to You now, I'm crying out to You now!
I can see the light
It shines so bright
Show me the way
Save me from destruction
Save me from myself
Save me from utter annihilation
I can see the light
It shines so bright
Show me the way
Save me from destruction
The light shines in my heart
It's the burning desire to change this world
In the song "Before Lights" by e;in, the lyrics depict a dark and cloudy night, symbolizing a period of emotional turmoil and pain. The singer feels lost and isolated, unable to find their way in life. They cry out to God, pleading for his guidance and control over their life. The repetitive phrase "I'm crying out to You now" emphasizes their desperation and longing for salvation.
The lyrics touch upon the internal struggle the singer faces with their own demons. They wonder if they will ever find the strength to overcome their challenges and carry on. Despite knowing that the Word of God describes them as the salt (a metaphor for their potential impact and influence), they confess their inability to speak out or find the courage to save themselves from this personal hell.
The plea to be saved from destruction and annihilation reveals the depth of the singer's desperation. They long to be rescued from their own destructive tendencies and find a sense of purpose and meaning in life. The reference to the light symbolizes hope and salvation, offering a glimmer of possibility for a brighter future.
