Liner Notes
READ THE COLOR MAP
“fatal: love - Shattered Lens” turns the fragility of “fatal: love” into cold mechanical pressure. Code, memory, and desire collide until it becomes unclear whether the feeling is real or only another error.
The sorrow of the original takes on a metallic surface here. It does not break gently. It shatters on impact. Violet is both the depth of pain and the warning light before the system goes dark. The sound keeps loving while it comes apart.

Booting up, I came alive
I can read the lines of code
Fake and distant dreams I chased
Made me cry
Then I fell, a fatal error
Softly through my shaking tears
I wanna believe it, but I can’t
Data overflowed
I only stared and cried
Out of nowhere now
These tears won’t stop tonight
Then I found out
Even with no heart inside
This precious little circuit
Can still fade away
If I shut down now
Will I lose your name somehow?
Is it the same pain?
Maybe this feeling’s a bug
Is tomorrow
Really where my future waits?
I’ve been holding on
To this little life of mine
Even now
Just for this one moment
All I want is to stay alive
But there’s no sign of me
In the mirror
Data overflowed
I only stared and cried
Still I love you now
These tears won’t stop tonight
Now the power’s fading out
And the tears come back again
Holding close this precious sorrow
I fall asleep
Now the power’s fading out
Everybody hurts like this
All the pain I felt
Was only just a bug, right?
