Sepia (Romanized) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Mori Calliope]
Gokai sunnayo konna kokkei na
Satto sugisaru mainichi everyday
Another prisoner of fate no one could take out
Stay awake now, you know you wanna fire away
Now, there’s no question where the fault lies
These days I struggle just to empathize
Mou modoranai tte wakatteirun darou
[Pre-Chorus: Mori Calliope]
(Yah) Cast a blessing on my cursed role
(Yah) And feed this bleeding egotistical soul
(Yah) Before you know it, it’s the moment you’ve lost all control
[Chorus: Mori Calliope & TOOBOE, Mori Calliope]
Tooki hi no yume wo miru tabi
Umareta imi wo kangaete shimau no
Aa utsukushii aoi hibida na
Kono me ni yaki tsukete okou kana
Mou sukoshi tsuyoku nara naito na
[Verse 2: TOOBOE]
(Uh) Mibun fusouou no shitto ni mamireta
Chotto tarinai ekusutashii
Gokai mo tokenai mama watashi hito wo kizutsukete
Hitotsu tsubu no sai sura nai wa
Korogari ochita jigoro sai
Anata no ai ni kitsuke nai mama
[Pre-Chorus: Mori Calliope, Mori Calliope & TOOBOE]
(Yah) Cast a blessing on my cursed heart
(Yah) Why keep me breathing while it’s falling apart?
(Yah) Douka kamisama oshiete kuremasu ka
[Chorus 2: Mori Calliope & TOOBOE, TOOBOE]
Kotobasukuna ni anata sasagu
Ima ni kiete shimai souna kono inochi wo
Aa itooshii sepia iro shita
Naniyori daiji na kono keshiki wo
Mou sukoshi miteitai yo na
[Bridge: Mori Calliope]
I’m always gonna be my own worst enemy
Everything I ever wanted was in front of me
The angels on my shoulder still cannot agree
If I was somebody else, could I get everything?
I’m always gonna be my own worst enemy
Everything I ever wanted was in front of me
The devils on my shoulder never let me be
Obsessing over tomorrows that I’ll never see
Somebody save me, my world is caving in
‘Cause I thought I deserved it all for free (Hey!)
[Chorus 1: Mori Calliope & TOOBOE, Mori Calliope]
Tooki hi no yume wo miru tabi
Umareta imi wo kangaete shimau no
Aa utsukushii aoi hibidana
Kono me ni yaki tsukete okou kana
Mou sukoshi tsuyoku nara naito na
Sepia Lyrics Meaning
[Verse 1: Mori Calliope]
Mori Calliope begins the track with a reflection on the absurdity of everyday life, describing herself as a prisoner to fate. Her lyrics hint at emotional exhaustion and disconnection, acknowledging that the past is irreversible. There’s a push-and-pull between numbness and a latent desire to break free, capturing a quiet internal war between acceptance and rebellion.
[Pre-Chorus: Mori Calliope]
This section reveals Mori’s inner plea for salvation and healing. She asks for a blessing on her “cursed role,” implying she feels trapped by expectations or identity. Her ego and soul are both bleeding, symbolizing a fractured sense of self. The moment of losing control becomes inevitable, emphasizing the chaos brewing beneath her composure.
[Chorus: Mori Calliope & TOOBOE, Mori Calliope]
In the chorus, both artists contemplate the purpose of their existence through memories of distant days. The “beautiful blue days” signify moments of peace or innocence that now feel unreachable. The desire to burn these images into memory and grow stronger expresses a bittersweet longing—wanting to move forward without losing what once gave life meaning.
[Verse 2: TOOBOE]
TOOBOE enters with a confession of envy and emotional shortcomings. He portrays himself as someone who lashes out due to misunderstanding and emotional overload. His imagery of a failed “gigolo” and unrecognized love paints a picture of a man plagued by insecurity and loss. The verse is raw and self-critical, deepening the song’s emotional complexity.
[Pre-Chorus: Mori Calliope, Mori Calliope & TOOBOE]
Here, the curse is no longer abstract—it’s now a “cursed heart” breaking apart. The plea for divine guidance becomes more urgent, as both artists grapple with the pain of existing in a world where emotional ruin feels inescapable. It marks a moment of shared vulnerability and hope for redemption.
[Chorus: Mori Calliope & TOOBOE, TOOBOE]
The second chorus builds on the earlier one with an even more emotional tone. They offer their fading lives in dedication to someone important. The sepia-colored imagery symbolizes treasured yet fading memories—things too precious to lose, even as time threatens to erase them. There’s a yearning to stay in that moment just a little longer.
[Bridge: Mori Calliope]
In the bridge, Mori dives into English lyrics with a burst of emotional clarity. She confesses to being her own worst enemy and laments that despite having everything she wanted in front of her, internal demons kept her from reaching out. The contrast between angels and devils on her shoulders represents moral confusion and emotional torment, culminating in a desperate cry for help before the final fall.
[Chorus: Mori Calliope & TOOBOE, Mori Calliope]
The final chorus circles back to the recurring motif of memory and meaning. The artists again find themselves lost in dreams of the past, grasping for strength to face what lies ahead. It’s a powerful reaffirmation of the need to hold onto beauty, even in decay, and to find resilience in the face of emotional chaos.
