I washed ashore on the ripples of my memory Tipping on the edge on a mortal island And my mortality seemed greater The accosted sailor had saved me in a fit He saw me with a nightlight I call it a large lantern Simple really if you wonder how many people Would never find among the flora and fauna Understanding the flow of the universe And I found my peace already Or I thought it was better than changing my rhyme each verse That's why the free verse is like this When you look at the things you observe But, you miss something in them and the going gets tough The lugubrious streets are something imprinted So, I kind of glad that the sailor changed my mind about the reverse And the fate I had was maybe changed by a Godly act And my human luck Or it was just the flow of the universe that I landed upon And islands were just a part of the metaphor That was lucidly my life Liberating myself from these lintels and circumstances, it's hard to forget that ballad The song of poetic device like assiduous alliteration of the streetlamps Sequacious sundry of people and the contingent of the serried three People on a lone boat occupied the place And burned the forests down to an ashen pile These sailors had come looking for old gold
As there was not much time to feel sorry I held back my words and felt I had left the world without words
I discovered Seba Jun in late 2009 when I started highschool, kind of casually inundated this music but didn't learn of his death until a few years after. It made me sad then, but hearing this "new" release today made me tear up a bit. It gives me a feeling as if this was his final departure song.. an untitled, bittersweet little song left for us to remember him by. Rip Nujabes, you will never be forgotten.
