Salt to Gold

Hi everyone, this is Miay.P. "Salt to Gold" is a song about trying to move forward even while carrying tears and scars. I wanted to treasure my own story — not to be approved of by someone else. If you're holding onto something painful or uncertain right now, I'd be happy if this song could give you a gentle push. Your tears will surely turn into a future that shines.

Lyrics

Japanese original with an English translation. Onomatopoeia, chants, and vocal phrases are kept in romaji to preserve their feel.

午前4時 既読の灰色がやけに blue

4 a.m.; the gray of a 'read' receipt feels so blue.

ため息ひとつで部屋が echo する

One sigh, and the room begins to echo.

強がりの絵文字で隠した bruise

A bruise I hid behind a tough-girl emoji,

でも鼓動は boom それが my truth

but my heartbeat goes boom — that's my truth.

鏡の前で deep breath 涙は drop しても

A deep breath before the mirror; even if the tears drop,

ここから rewrite 私が選ぶ tempo

I rewrite from here — I choose the tempo.

Say my name 私は私で burn

Say my name; I burn as myself.

誰の承認も ticket じゃない

No one's approval is a ticket.

傷ごと shine every lesson I earn

I shine, scars and all — every lesson I earn.

涙の salt が私の flavor になる

The salt of my tears becomes my flavor.

噂のノイズは風みたいに pass

The noise of rumors passes by like the wind.

耳はふさがない でも心には glass

I don't cover my ears, but my heart wears glass.

守りたいものは自分の class

What I want to protect is my own class.

弱さを抱いたまま step never last

Holding my weakness close, my steps never stop.

迷っても good 間違いだって art

Even lost, it's good; even mistakes are art.

置いてきた fear に bye brand new start

Bye to the fear I left behind — a brand-new start.

Say my name 火花は私の turn

Say my name; the spark is my turn.

昨日の私にだけ勝っていたい

I only want to beat the me of yesterday.

欠けたままでも ring は鳴る

Even cracked, the bell still rings.

塩味の涙が未来を飾る

Salty tears adorn the future.

I was broken but not gone

I was broken but not gone,

夜明け前を走る long run

a long run before the dawn.

手放すほどに hands are free

The more I let go, the freer my hands.

抱きしめなおす my story

I hold my story close again.

Say my name 何度でも burn (Say it)

Say my name; burn, again and again. (Say it)

No validation I already learned

No validation — I already learned.

傷ごと shine together we return

I shine, scars and all; together we return.

涙の salt が gold に変わる

The salt of my tears turns to gold.
