Countdown Fault

這是倒數專輯的第四夜——《Fault》，一首寫給所有曾在深夜裡，反覆咀嚼自己過錯的靈魂的歌。12月28日，當新年越來越近，我們也越來越容易陷入對過去一年的回望與自省。這首歌，就是試圖去捕捉那份最誠實、也最痛苦的情感——關於「過錯」。

這首歌的靈魂，藏在它的日語歌詞裡——「有些傷痕，不屬於任何人 / 有些日子，無法去追問是誰的錯」。這是一種充滿東方智慧的和解。而英文歌詞中的Chorus，更是對“Fault”這個概念的終極反思：「過錯，或許只是穿著痛苦外衣的一堂課 / 如果破碎是我們學會重新站立的方式，那便沒有所謂的過錯」。這不是在為錯誤開脫，而是在尋找一種超越指責的、更具建設性的視角。

從那些“被整齊折疊起來，直到卡住我們喉嚨的錯誤”，到“存在於每道牆壁裂縫間的真相”，再到將過錯比作“像河水一樣塑造我們”的力量，我希望用這些充滿詩意的意象，去引導聽眾從自我鞭笞，走向自我和解。Bridge裡的那句「我們在這個寒冷季節失去的 / 將會讓我們在下一場雨中，變得更為堅強」，是我對這首歌的最終註解。謹以此歌，獻給所有曾被過錯束縛的靈-魂。願我們都能學會，不再追問是誰的錯，而是去感謝那堂讓我們變得更強大的、名為“過錯”的課。

誰のせいでもない傷もある
誰のせいかを問えない日もある
Whose fault
Is fault just a lesson that is dressed in pain
No fault
If breaking is the way we learn to stand again

We carry words we never said
Like stones inside a coat
Mistakes we fold up neatly
'Til they're catching in our throat
The year is nearly over
And I see what I have missed
The moments I kept silent
The hands I should have kissed

A fault begins so quietly
A crack that starts to spread
Until it's all you listen to
Inside your weary head

誰のせいでもない傷もある
誰のせいかを問えない日もある
Whose fault
Is fault just a lesson that is dressed in pain
No fault
If breaking is the way we learn to stand again

I replay every argument
Not out of spite, but need
To find the truth beneath the words
Where pride refused to bleed
I've blamed myself too quickly
And others for the fall
The truth is in the spaces
Between the cracks in every wall

Maybe the fault was silence
When a single word could save
Maybe the fault was cowardice
When we needed to be brave
Fault shapes us like a river
Breaking stone, grain by grain
What we lose in this cold season
Will make us stronger for the rain

誰のせいでもない傷もある
誰のせいかを問えない日もある
Whose fault
Is fault just a lesson that is dressed in pain
No fault
If breaking is the way we learn to stand again
