about

Everyone Is Your Friend’ explores the concept of being lonely in a big city. The song speaks to the epidemic of loneliness that exists in big cities. Many feel extreme loneliness and isolation living in cities even though they are surrounded by many people. Our Solari character feels trapped and lonely. Her journey is to figure out how to escape. The Japanese lyrics are Solari questioning if she’s capable of loving anyone, letting someone deep inside her heart.

The song is based on a driving eight-note synth bass and insistent drums. The driving rhythm track provides a backdrop to the changes in scene. The electric guitar (played by Kevin Kadish) punctuates the rhythm. The idea was to make the song feel like being on the train in a big city. Everything is moving around you. And nothing ever stops. You are surrounded by strangers.

lyrics

Everyone is your friend
You’re lonely but you’re not alone
Ghosts are everywhere
Barely visible in air

If you love me let me know
There’s no escape no after show
I can’t see the things you’ll see
I move like a drug’s inside of me

Strangers all around 誰かいる (is there anyone)
Strangers all around 胸の奥に (deep inside my heart)
Strangers all around 愛しい人 (someone to love)
And you’re a stranger too

Everybody is your friend
You’re lonely but you’re not alone
Ghosts are everywhere
Barely visible in air
Barely visible in air
It cuts like a knife when you leave
You leave no trace
No history
Madness coursing through my veins
Neurons collide
We’ll never be the same

No escape we’ll find, we’ll drink dandelion wine
Summer storms and kisses too
It’s all so easy

Strangers all around 誰かいる (is there anyone)
Strangers all around 胸の奥に (deep inside my heart)
Strangers all around 愛しい人 (someone to love)
And you’re a stranger too

Everybody is your friend
You’re lonely but you’re not alone
Ghosts are everywhere
Barely visible, Barely visible in air
air, air

Everyone is your friend
You're lonely but you're not alone

Strangers all around

Everyone is your friend
You're lonely but you're not alone

Strangers all around

Everyone is your friend
You're lonely but you're not alone
Everyone is your friend
You're lonely but you're not alone
