Dream and Deeds
This track captures my journey of transformation — from working a full-time job to finally pursuing the things I truly love.
The road is long, with voices of support and doubt along the way. But the greatest lesson I’ve learned is to embrace my imperfect self, stand firm against criticism, and push through every obstacle to keep moving forward.

Lyrics (Translation by AI)
The Milky Way drifts across the cosmos
After clouds disperse, the sky comes into view
The lights at the horizon shift as always
Rumors circle across the sky
Lost, breathing beneath hidden light
Watching time transform through centuries
What you think today must heed destiny—In search of truth, your path is fated that,
A lifetime sustained only by grit
Unable to bear the bitterness, defiance rises—I once talked a load of nonsense
Lingering in ideals, climbing miles of long roads,
I only wish today I could just recover, and board the plane once more.
Breathing out, a gasp to change the air,
Time slips away like bubbles in the stream—yet in effort, I remain.
Circling the ideals, forged into greatness,
And if I cannot yet succeed, in the moment I hold on,
I must grasp the chance.
By chance, in this world I meet vitality
As wished, the sky draws near perfection
Watching the full moon illuminate all the earth
All that life may dream must follow destiny—In the darkness, you make your decision.
A lifetime sustained only by grit
In a breath, I’ve rolled across a thousand miles, seeking the world again.
Wagering on ideals, through endless roads,
I knew today I might be renewed, another chance to rise.
In this life, I once could not help but resent the weather,
Turning back, I say goodbye to that shadow. Beneath day and night,
Lingering in ideals, betting on tomorrow’s fortune,
Still able to grasp what is right—At the moment of ascent,
I glimpse opportunities.
Stepping back, I let down and see the dawn arrive,
No longer needing to endure, gazing upon the sea of stars — Ha~
This life may yet embrace blessings (the sky near perfection),
Grateful for heaven’s breath of encouragement, as fate meets the world.
Opening the journey, treading miles upon miles
Echoing bells resound in embrace (absorbing fresh vitality).
All my life, I’ve held good spirit,
Willing to lay down uniforms without restraint. Beneath the universe,
Soaring with ideals, unfolding a new legend of the age.
You can achieve it—at this moment of bloom,
Seize the chance again,
And seek the truth once more.
