Halt
exist†trace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
選べない 行き先に 戸惑うも 恋い焦がれ
祝福の歌が舞うこの部屋に繋がれた
静寂はもうすぐそっと肩に手を置くのでしょう
このまま宙に浮かんで 息を止めて消えるまで
Despair un,dis,nor 迷わず 行けるなら何も言わないで
いつの日か 来るべきに 受け入れた はずだった
思い描く あの人は 降り積もる 雪の様
お別れの歌が舞うこの部屋に繋がれた
冷たい涙はそっと肩に手を置くのでしょう
このまま宙に浮かんで 息を止めて消えるまで
Despair un,dis,nor 忘れて 開かれた扉反ける
Despair un,dis,nor 迷わず 行けるなら何も言わないで
The lyrics to exist†trace's song Halt describe a moment of indecision and confusion as the singer is faced with a choice of where to go. The first two lines describe the feeling of being too close to the door of time to make a decision on where to go. However, they are filled with an intense desire for love and romance. The second two lines describe the singer's situation as they find themselves in a room surrounded by the blessings of others, but also in silence. This silence will soon be interrupted by the touch of a foreign hand on their shoulder.
The next section of the song describes the singer's despair and perhaps their feelings of being lost or forgotten. They beg to forget the past and to open the door before them to move forward without hesitation. They do not wish for any words of encouragement, but rather to be able to go without any hindrance. The next verses describe a lost love, someone who they had accepted would come in the future. This person is depicted like falling snow, beautiful but cold. The final lines repeat the earlier refrain, with the singer describing the song of parting now in the room, with tears once again soon to come.
Overall, the lyrics to Halt are very emotional and intense, describing indecision, fear, and loss in equal measure. The use of imagery, such as the snow and the silence, helps to create a vivid depiction of the singer's feelings. The desire for love and romance is also very prevalent, with the singer's love and search for it being a central focus of the song.

Jyou's voice makes me happy... her and Waka (Danger Gang's vocalist) are just pure win covered in win sauce with crushed win sprinkled on top, garnished with fresh picked win.
