He Forgot the Century
0:00 / 0:30
NEONVOT official site | https://neonvot.gemki.org A meditation on silence, anger, and care. It asks what remains when empathy is treated as weakness and indifference as strength, when remembering becomes radical. Beneath quiet restraint lives a fierce insistence: that to breathe, to name, to care, is already resistance against forgetting. Each trace—a pencil mark, a breath, a name once written in light—becomes a vote for dignity, a rhythm of survival, until justice sounds like breathing again.

願いの跡が指に残る
[// soft overlap]
Freedom decays when apathy is crowned as heritage,
when care is mistaken for weakness and stored away like dusted glass.
静けさで息を整える
[// harmony]
They name the stalemate peace; it tastes of iron,
the breath of rooms where nothing grows.
希望の名を空に呼ぶ
[// blend]
And the ink fades where women once wrote their names in light,
the script still pulsing under the page. [Pre-Chorus – Vocal B]
[// soft overlap]
They brand indifference as wisdom,
as if sleep were philosophy;
Men who slept through centuries still speak of balance and reason,
polishing the locks on every open door.
Their silence writes laws in invisible ink,
a ballot cast without touch, repeated in every shrug.
[// harmony]
遠くで新しい声がはじまる
We step out of their dust,
carrying the century they refused to finish,
learning again the grammar of care.
手の中の静けさを握る [Chorus – All voices]
[// unite]
We rise in anger, because memory burns clean,
leaving only what can breathe.
One vote of air moves through us, unseen but steady.
それでも、まなざしを上げる
[// echo]
We write the word “future” in the soft metal of breath,
letting it ring between our ribs.
ひとつの呼吸で進む
Until justice sounds like breathing again. [Final Chorus – All voices]
[// blend]
We rise in anger, because memory burns clean.
それでも、まなざしを上げる
We write the word “future” —
ひとつの呼吸で進む
[// unite]
