🎧 To You Who Carried Loneliness and Never Ran Away (Ver.2 Cover)
— A hymn to you who did not make yourself a sacrifice —
At times, we are taught, driven by the desperate wish to be loved and not abandoned, that **”sacrificing yourself = good”**.
Especially for those raised incult-like dysfunctional familiesorfamilies plagued by emotional abuse,it can become a way of turning themselves into an “object of fear” in order to protect“a parent’s mood,” “family balance,” and “the peace on the surface”. (Being afraid to value yourself. There was a time when I, too, became like that.)
To keep that going and forget your true self is, in a very real sense,psychological devil worship―― — days spent quietly offering yourself up at the altar of the heart, inside the belief that “hurting and giving yourself to someone else without realizing it is the right thing to do.”And the path that makes you believe that is right….
◆ That is why choosing loneliness was an act of rebellion
For you who grew up in such an environment, to have lived on, “without running away” and “while protecting yourself,”
is not the kind of casual “loneliness” people talk about in society. It isa courageous departureandproof that you placed yourself on your own side.Even if no one understands you,
you chose “to live alone rather than kill yourself in the crowd”— that is a kind of spiritual revolution.◆ This song is a prayer in sound for someone like you
**『To You Who Carried Loneliness and Never Ran Away (Ver.2 Cover)』**
was created precisely for the person who made that choice. The female vocal’s voice
reaches toward the pain inside you more delicately, more sharply. This song carries a “quiet strength” within its tenderness.
It resonates with your choice to “not kill yourself.” ◆ Merely surviving in a cult-like household is something worthy in itself
“It’s your fault”
“If you just endure it, things will work out” “As long as you read the room” After being bombarded with such messages day after day,
and being unconsciously made to believe “it’s my fault,” “valuing yourself” and “not running away” become an unimaginably difficult battle. But you did not run away.
Even with a heart that was about to break, you still held on to “yourself.” This song celebrates you.
