The Mirror of Shame
0:00 / 0:30
NEONVOT official site | https://neonvot.gemki.org This song calls out a climate where power hides behind morality and tradition, reviving exclusionary nationalism and blurring politics with religion. It speaks to the disorientation of seeing society slip backward while being told it is moving forward. Singing and dancing become resistance, a refusal of silence and a way to remember dignity. From that tension rises a steady insistence on empathy and the will to keep speaking in one’s own voice.

光がまだ 揺れている
[// soft overlap]
They trade faith for faces, and faces for fame, painting virtue in borrowed gold.
胸の奥で 風を探す
[// harmony]
Truth sleeps beneath the altar of order, silence polished as grace.
The promise bends like glass beneath a false sun.
We breathe, still, through the cracks of prayer. [Pre-Chorus – Vocal B]
[// blend]
They crown obedience with flags, choreographing loyalty as grace.
Belief turns to broadcast, each echo buying another lie.
They march beneath the myth of dawn, worshipping the dusk of empire. [Chorus – All voices]
ただ 歩くように 声を出す
We resist with pulse, with trembling hands, with breath unpriced.
[// unite]
水面のように 歌う [Bridge – Vocal C]
[// echo]
We rise not as victors, but as those who remember the pulse within ruin.
Language returns, luminous and raw, a wound turned seed.
手をかざす まだぬくもり
Freedom hums like rain over waking ground.
空のすきまに 祈りを放つ
We dance again, calling silence home. [Verse – Vocal A]
[// soft overlap]
風がまだ 動いている
They sell devotion as power, and power as prayer, twisting both into profit and pride.
息をととのえ 沈黙を聴く
[// harmony]
Justice drowns beneath the banners of faith, as if the nation forgot its name.
The law is a mask carved by mirrors of vanity, polished with fear and fame.
We breathe, still, against the gold-painted noise. [Pre-Chorus – Vocal B]
[// blend]
They call obedience patriotism, but it is only the choreography of control.
Faith becomes theater, applause becomes order, and no one dares to laugh.
They preach the empire’s ghost as a gospel of progress. [Chorus – All voices]
ただ 踊るように 足を出す
We protest with breath, with rhythm, with trembling air.
[// unite]
光を抱きしめるように 歌う [Final Chorus – All voices]
[// echo]
We rise not in hatred, but to remember what breath means.
Language returns, trembling, to its human mouth.
手を重ねる まだ生きている
Freedom hums like a small bird under broken flags.
[// harmony]
遠くで 祈りのように
We dance again, naming silence as beginning. NEONVOT official site | https://neonvot.gemki.org
