Lyrics
[Intro — low taiko, shamisen plucks, distant strings]
[LIA — soft, almost smiling]
Velvet on my skin
Steel beneath the flowers
柔らかいだけじゃない
Look closer.
[Beat drops — deep 808s, taiko]
[Verse 1]
Silk tied around my waist
Gold resting on my neck
Every step is delicate
But don't confuse it with respect
For rules I never chose
For boxes made too small
I learned you don't need armor
To be unbreakable
花びらのように
静かに舞って
その奥にある強さ
誰も奪えない
I never had to lose my softness
Just to learn to hold my ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Pretty doesn't mean powerless
Quiet doesn't mean afraid
I can hold a rose
I can hold a blade
優しさも
強さになる
You keep choosing one
Baby, I am both
[Chorus]
Velvet blade
Soft against the skin
Beautiful outside
But there's steel within
Velvet blade
Watch the flowers sway
I don't need to lose my grace
To make you know my name
Silk on my skin
Steel underneath
Sweet in my smile
Power in me
You wanted delicate
I'll show you what you made
A woman can be velvet
And still carry a blade
[Post-Chorus — taiko hits]
Velvet
Blade
柔らかく
強く
Velvet
Blade
I can be both.
[Verse 2]
I don't need a heavy crown
To know the weight I hold
Don't need to make the room go quiet
Just to know I'm in control
Let them underestimate me
Let them see what they prefer
Every time they call me fragile
I remember what I'm worth
美しく咲いて
強く立って
誰かの期待には
もう縛られない
My femininity was never
Something I needed to survive
It's part of why I'm powerful
Not something I have to hide
[Pre-Chorus]
Pretty doesn't mean powerless
Gentle doesn't mean I'll break
There is strength in knowing
Exactly what you'll take
しなやかに
立ち上がる
You keep choosing one
I told you—
I am both
[Chorus]
Velvet blade
Soft against the skin
Beautiful outside
But there's steel within
Velvet blade
Watch the flowers sway
I don't need to lose my grace
To make you know my name
Silk on my skin
Steel underneath
Sweet in my smile
Power in me
You wanted delicate
I'll show you what you made
A woman can be velvet
And still carry a blade
[Bridge — beat cuts, lone shamisen]
[LIA — calm]
I don't want your throne
I built my own.
I don't need your armor
My skin is enough.
弱さじゃない
この優しさは
And if you still can't understand—
That's not my problem.
[Instrumental break — taiko rolls, distorted shamisen, 808s]
[LIA — layered]
Velvet...
Blade...
[Final Chorus — huge strings, taiko and 808s]
Velvet blade
Now you understand
Flowers never needed
Permission where to stand
Velvet blade
Every part is mine
The softness and the strength
Were never opposite sides
Silk on my skin
Steel underneath
Grace in my hands
Fire in me
I never had to harden
To become this way
I was always velvet
I was always the blade
[Outro — shamisen, low strings]
[LIA — soft]
花も
刃も
どちらも私。
Velvet blade.
