Announced in late May of 2024, “Dystopia”, was announced to be the ending theme song for the Japanese news television program news zero, but there was no official release date.
Several months later, in October of 2024, front man TAKA released a snippet of the song on the band’s Instagram, attached...
[Verse 1]
Tryin' to find some inner peace
Apocalyptic tendencies
We blame it on a whisper
For the shame that's in our system
[Verse 2]
Pain in all our yesterdays
And fears that keep us wide awake
We're looking for a reason
When did we become the heathens?
[Pre-Chorus]
My colors bleed, I'm turning blue
You say "God speed", I'll follow you
We got no place to go and nothing to lose
[Chorus]
Find euphoria in dystopia
Let our souls become the magnets
No running from the sadness
Find euphoria in dystopia
Where there's love and understanding
No running from the sadness
[Verse 3]
I'm gonna' make it through, it's just a phase
Not giving up, not in my darkest days
I'm holding on to my faith
No more getting in my own way
[Pre-Chorus]
My colors bleed, I'm turning blue
You say "God speed", I'll follow you
We got no place to go and nothing to lose
[Chorus]
Find euphoria in dystopia
Let our souls become the magnets
No running from the sadness
Find euphoria in dystopia
Where there's love and understanding
No running from the sadness
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Dystopia
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Dystopia
[Bridge]
Connecting you and I
It's only up
And I'm still holding tight
[Chorus]
Find euphoria in dystopia
Let our souls become the magnets
No running from the sadness
Find euphoria in dystopia
Where there's love and understanding
No running from the sadness
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Dystopia
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Dystopia
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Dystopia
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
