Like a river
A mellow, lo-fi urban hip-hop track. The tempo is around 70-80 BPM, creating a relaxed groove with a slight swing. The drum samples feature a dusty sound, including a powerful kick, a sharp, muted snare, and subtle hi-hat variations. Record and tape noises are also used. The instrumentation features warm Rhodes piano chords, lazy, jazzy electric piano progressions using 7th and 9th chords, a smooth sub-bass, and lo-fi guitar picking with reverb and delay scattered throughout. Ambient layers of distant city noise, rain, and breeze are also present. Female vocals: Soft, intimate, and subtly breathy. A restrained singing style that expresses nuances of emotion. An intimate, personal, whispering style. Japanese and English are blended naturally. Rap part: A relaxed, somewhat flowing rap style that blends naturally with the beat. An introspective tone is maintained.

夜の隙間に 溶けていく
Melting into the silence of the night
静かなビートに 心預ける
I lay my heart on a quiet beat
流れていく この瞬間も
まるで川のように
Like a river
Everything fades and flows away
すべては移ろい 流れていく
ひとときも留まらない
Nothing ever stays the same
この流れの中で
In this current, I walk again
私は今日も歩いている
I let it go
揺れる記憶 遠くかすんで
Shaking memories, hazy in the distance
静かにほどけてく
Gently unraveling
fade away
I don’t need a reason why
ただ今だけを feel alive
歩いてきたこの道は
This path I have walked
振り返れば ひとつの川みたいで
Looking back, this road feels like a river
それが何なのか
考えても still I don’t know
それでも何かが
胸の奥に残ってる
Something lingers deep inside my heart
消えずに still in my head
It's okay, I’m still breathing
やさしい風が now I’m healing
静かな空に 溶ける想い
I close my eyes, feel the glow
すべてがまた巡っていく
like a river, soft and slow
いつか海に溶けていくのかな
I wonder if it will eventually melt into the sea.
いつか海に溶けていくのかな
I wonder if it will eventually melt into the sea.
Rap
Late night city, I’m drifting slow
足音だけが響く echo, echo
No map, no plan, just let it ride
この流れの中で I confide
Broken days and sleepless nights
過去も未来も in the haze
Still I’m walking through this maze
I don’t stop, I don’t chase
ただ今を見つめてる
揺れてる低音 feel the bass
Life goes on, like a stream
迷いながら still I dream
Hook
Like a river, I flow tonight
どこへ行くのかも don’t need to know
ゆらり揺れて it’s alright
このまま身を任せて just let it flow
歩いてきたこの道は
This path I have walked
振り返れば ひとつの川みたいで
Looking back, this road feels like a river
それが何なのか
考えても still I don’t know
それでも何かが
胸の奥に残ってる
Something lingers deep inside my heart
消えずに still in my head
いつか海に溶けていくのかな
I wonder if it will eventually melt into the sea.
いつか海に溶けていくのかな
I wonder if it will eventually melt into the sea.
静かな空に 溶ける想い
I close my eyes, feel the glow
すべてがまた巡っていく
like a river, soft and slow

「Like a river」 English lyrics
Melting into the silence of the night
I lay my heart on a quiet beat
This moment is also flowing away
Like a river,
Like a river
Everything fades and flows away
Everything is changing and slipping away
Nothing ever stays the same
In this current, I walk again
I’m still walking today
I let it go
Shaking memories, hazy in the distance
Gently unraveling
Fade away
I don’t need a reason why
I just feel alive in this moment
This path I have walked
This path I have walked
Looking back, this road feels like a river
Looking back, this road feels like a river
What it really is
I still don’t know, no matter how hard I think
Even so, something
Lingers deep inside my heart
Never quite disappears
Still in my head
It’s okay, I’m still breathing
A gentle wind is healing me now
Memories dissolving in the quiet sky
I close my eyes, feel the glow
Everything begins to turn once again
Like a river, soft and slow
I wonder if it will eventually melt into the sea
I wonder if it will eventually melt into the sea
Late night city, I’m drifting slow
Only my footsteps echo, echo
No map, no plan, just let it ride
In this flow I confide
Broken days and sleepless nights
Past and future blurred in the haze
Still I’m walking through this maze
I don’t stop, I don’t chase
I’m just watching this moment
I feel the bass swaying gently
Life goes on, like a stream
While wandering, still I dream
Like a river, I flow tonight
Where I’m going, I don’t need to know
Gently swaying, it’s alright
Entrusting myself to this flow, just let it go
This path I have walked
This path I have walked
Looking back, this road feels like a river
Looking back, this road feels like a river
What it really is
I still don’t know, no matter how hard I think
Even so, something
Lingers deep inside my heart
Never quite disappears
Still in my head
I wonder if it will eventually melt into the sea
I wonder if it will eventually melt into the sea
Memories dissolving in the quiet sky
I close my eyes, feel the glow
Everything begins to turn once again
Like a river, soft and slow
