File:Sarina - Melancholy Roads (No More) -- Official Music Video

After years of being isolated and lonely, opening my eyes to the community, family and friends around me showed me that I wasn’t alone and never was. 🔴 Streaming/Download: https://orcd.co/mrnm - This song is a counterpoint to “Yuu-utsu na Michi” (Melancholy Roads) both thematically and musically, the lyrics carried by a slow, heartfelt and emotionally raw melody that is mostly piano with accompaniment from violins, viola and cello. It’s about opening your eyes and recognizing community, family and friendship after years of self isolation, based on my own experience. For a long time, I let my dreams, my ambition, be my only companion, but I think there is a strength that comes from confronting our darkness and making a conscious decision to say “I am more than this, and I am not alone." and I hope to share this message with others who are struggling or have struggled with this too.

Lyrics - Languid like a lucid dream But swift in brutal taking Opening my eyes it seems Was something I’d mistaken I never let up down my guard I earned the spot I sat in My throne was made of broken shards Got used to blood and pain

And I if I close my eyes I see stars they Shine Brighter than I ever thought they’re Mine They want to spread my wings and fly

And now these melancholy roads don’t know The way I’m meant to go I’m veering off the path that kept me always on my own I’m wandering through a wonderland my eyes are filled with awe Those roads I walked alone but now you follow

Sky my guide can’t tell apart The dream from what I’m making In time I learned the truth of stars They shine because they’re burning

It takes a thousand years, I learned To see how bright they’ll go If I have to wait than I can wait a thousand more

Cause I If I close my eyes I see them all they Shine Brighter than I thought because they’re Mine I spread my arms out wide so I can Fly, fly

And now these melancholy roads don’t know The way I’m meant to go I’m veering off the path that kept me always on my own I’m wandering through a wonderland my eyes are filled with awe These roads I walked alone but now you follow

Yes these melancholy roads don’t know the way I’m meant to go They kept me on a path that’s safe by keeping me alone This wonderland I wander on with fear inside my bones But dreams are worth the pain without the sorrow

Yes these melancholy roads don’t know The way I’m meant to go I listen to stars that never leave me on my own I’m dancing through a wonderland my eyes are filled with awe These roads I walked alone but now you follow
