About This Track

'Why?' by HMLTD is an alternative track from the album 'West of Eden' (2020). The lyrics paint a drenched nocturnal atmosphere, with neon and echoes around an unstable, tilted world, as a voice trembles and seems to be drawn or swallowed by something like the city’s noise. Repeated lines about crossing the sky give the song a restless, transitional feeling, like momentum without arrival.

"Why?" is a track by HMLTD, from the album West of Eden, released 7th February 2020. The track is 2:38 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 9 articles about HMLTD.

Lyrics

Why?

濡れた夜気に

騒ぐネオンの粒

浮かんだ足は

喚きに誘われる

ビルのこだまに

僕は僕は震える

壁紙微かに

端ぎめくれる

傾いたこの世界

今私ああこの空を渡し入れる

今私ああこの空を渡し入れる

今私ああこの空を渡し入れる
