Project description
《Rebirth》
In the underground world, everything was carefully controlled.
People had grown used to silence—used to suppressing their voices, their emotions, even their desires. There was no conflict, but there was also no longing. Only perfect order and the quiet hum of routine.
But Lyra was different.
Inside her, a faint but persistent sound stirred—like a low vibration from something long forgotten. She couldn’t explain it, only that something inside her was quietly burning, waiting to break free.
One day, she began to compose.
The music wasn’t meant to please anyone. It wasn’t rebellion.
It was survival.
Her melodies became cracks in the silence, and through them, buried feelings surged out like a flood. Lyra’s music echoed through the underground, awakening something in those around her—their own long-lost heartbeats, their own hidden voices.
It wasn’t an escape.
It wasn’t resistance.
It was a return to something real.
By the end of her music, Lyra was reborn—not as a number in a system, but as herself:
A soul with fire and sound.
When a world maintains order through silence, true life quietly withers.
Lyra’s music was not a cry of rebellion, but a whisper from the soul—a longing for genuine existence.
She reminded people that to live is not merely to function, but to feel, to yearn, and to create.
Rebirth is not an escape from control, but an awakening of the inner voice—a return to one’s true self.
Through this piece, I hope to awaken awareness of oppressive states—
to offer an escape, a breaking free through music.
Let the melodies become a pathway for liberation,
releasing the soul from silent constraints.
May the music lead us to feel again, to breathe again,
to awaken from the quiet and move toward true freedom.
