Countdown To

這是倒數專輯的第二夜——《To》，一首寫給所有曾在我們生命中，留下印記的人的感謝信。12月30日，在新年的前夕，這是一個最適合回望與感恩的時刻。這首歌，就是試圖去捕捉那份最溫暖、也最深刻的情感——「致 (To)」那些塑造了我們的父母、朋友、愛人，以及所有過客。

這首歌的靈魂，藏在它的日語歌詞裡——「因為有你們在，我才能走到這裡 / 留在我心中的每一個名字，都是寶物」。這是一種充滿感激的告白。而英文歌詞中的Chorus，更是將這份感謝，化為一連串的倒數：「倒數，致那些在風暴中為我舉起燭火的臉龐 / 倒數，致那些始終溫暖我的聲音 / 倒數，致我所愛的人們 / 你們，就是我這一年的意義所在」。這不是一個人的獨白，這是一場獻給“我們”的頒獎禮。

為了與專輯中的其他歌曲徹底區分，我刻意避免了所有慣用的意象。從將朋友們比作“看穿我盔甲裂縫”的人，到將生命中的過客形容為“圍繞我這顆星星運行的行星”，再到將逝去的愛視為“即便帶來痛苦，也依然珍貴的課題”，我希望用這些全新的、充滿原創性的詞語，去構建一個充滿溫情與智慧的空間。Bridge裡的那句「你們在不知不覺中塑造了我 / 用每一次問候、每一次懇求… 你們都給了我一部分的你」，是我對這首歌的最終註解。謹以此歌，獻給所有曾在我們生命中留下光和熱的靈魂。如果明天會是一個全新的黎明，那也是因為，我們正站在你們為我構築的基石之上。

あなたたちがいたから、ここまで来れた
心に残る名前は全部宝物
A countdown to the faces
Who held the candle through the storm
A countdown to the voices
That always kept me warm
A countdown to the ones I love
You are what this year was for

The calendar is fading
And I'm standing at the ledge
Looking back at every chapter
Every word on every page
Some days felt like drowning
Some felt like I could fly
But every single journey
Was reflected in your eyes

I never walked alone
Though I often felt I did
'Cause every quiet kindness
Was a compass that you hid

あなたたちがいたから、ここまで来れた
心に残る名前は全部宝物
A countdown to the faces
Who held the candle through the storm
A countdown to the voices
That always kept me warm
A countdown to the ones I love
You are what this year was for

To my parents — for the patience
When my own had run so low
For the simple, steady wisdom
That helped my spirit grow
To my friends — the ones who answered
No matter when I called
You saw the cracks inside my armor
And you loved me through them all

To the love I had to leave
Your imprint still remains
A lesson isn't lesser
Just because it brings you pain

I didn't become myself alone
It took a hundred wins and scars
And all the people who were planets
Orbiting around my star
You shaped me without knowing
With every hello, every plea
Every hug, every argument
You gave a piece of you to me

あなたたちがいたから、ここまで来れた
心に残る名前は全部宝物
A countdown to my people
The ones who knew my truth
A countdown to the lessons learned
From the ashes of my youth
A countdown to the ones I love
This year belongs to you

If tomorrow brings a new dawn
It's on the ground you built me on
