Cold Night Lyrics [Japanese]
[Intro]
I don't believe in myself
高く飛ぶ
They think I'm a fool
They think I'm a fool, they think I'm a fool
[Verse 1]
Rain drop, 目を覚ましても
Same old, 何も変わらない
Grow up, mirrorの私に言うの
泣いても変わらないと
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know where to go
叶えたい夢があるのに
あの子みたいにはなれない
慣れない
[Chorus]
I don't believe in myself (But I don't care)
高く飛ぶ (With my new shoes)
They think I'm a fool (I don't care)
I don't care, I don't care
Watch me, this is me
転んだ 数だけ
I've got nothing but this fire
I'll show you what I can do
[Verse 2]
Cold night (Cold night), no light (No light)
Blood from my knee no one ever sees me
Cold night (Cold night), no light (No light)
Blood from my knee no one ever sees me
(Cold night) Yeah (No light) 光ってた
(Blood from my knee no one ever sees me) 諦められないくらいに光っていたんだ
(Cold night) Yeah (No light)この夢だけは離さない
(Blood from my knee no one ever sees me) 転んだって立ち上がって絶対
[Chorus]
I don't believe in myself (But I don't care)
高く飛ぶ (With my new shoes)
They think I'm a fool (I don't care)
I don't care, I don't care
Watch me, this is me
転んだ 数だけ
I've got nothing but this fire
I'll show you what I can do
[Bridge]
What I can do, what can I do
What I can do, what can I do
Cold night (What I can do), no light (What I can do)
Blood from my knee no one ever sees me (What I can do)
[Chorus]
I don't believe in myself (But I don't care)
高く飛ぶ (With my new shoes)
They think I'm a fool (I don't care)
I don't care, I don't care (I don't care)
Watch me, this is me (I'm not who I used to be)
転んだ 数だけ (They said I couldn't, now look at me)
I've got nothing but this fire (Yeah I've got nothing, I've got nothing)
I'll show you what I can do (Just watch, I'll make it)

Cold Night Lyrics [English]
[Intro]
I don't believe in myself
I fly high
They think I'm a fool
They think I'm a fool, they think I'm a fool
[Verse 1]
Raindrops, even when I wake up
Same old, nothing ever changes
I tell the me in the mirror to grow up
Crying won’t change anything
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know where to go
Even though I have dreams I want to achieve
I can’t become like that girl
I’m not used to it
[Chorus]
I don't believe in myself (But I don't care)
I fly high (With my new shoes)
They think I'm a fool (I don't care)

Watch me, this is me
As many times as I’ve fallen
I've got nothing but this fire
I'll show you what I can do
[Verse 2]
Cold night (Cold night), no light (No light)
Blood from my knee, no one ever sees me
Cold night (Cold night), no light (No light)
Blood from my knee, no one ever sees me
(Cold night) Yeah (No light) it was shining
(Blood from my knee no one ever sees me) It was shining so brightly I couldn’t give up
(Cold night) Yeah (No light) I won’t let go of this dream
(Blood from my knee no one ever sees me) Even if I fall, I’ll stand back up no matter what
[Chorus]
I don't believe in myself (But I don't care)

Cold Night Song Meaning [HANA]
“Cold Night” stands as a standout track on HANA’s self-titled 2026 album, released January 24, 2026, through B-RAVE/Sony Music Labels Inc. The song doubles as the opening theme for Medalist Season 2, a sports anime focused on figure skating and personal growth. This marks HANA’s first anime tie-in, presenting a bold shift toward introspective yet emotionally motivational artistry. The song blends rock and pop influences with candid lyricism written and produced by CHANMINA, co-composed with SANGWOO, and embodies both vulnerability and resolve in equal measure.
Song Meaning:
From the outset, “Cold Night” captures an internal struggle between doubt and defiance. Rather than masking uncertainty, the song queasily embraces it—placing the listener in a space where self-belief is fragile, and external judgment feels suffocating. The emotional opening reflects a cold point in introspection: where routine and sameness dull progress and leave one questioning their worth and direction. This establishes the heart of the song—a tension between who you are and who you want to become.
As the track unfolds, the narrative pivots toward a broader confrontation with expectation. There’s an unspoken contrast between inner desire and perceived inadequacy. The lyrics do not shy away from self-critique; instead, they admit to not knowing the next step, evoking the uncertainty many feel when chasing a dream that seems simultaneously urgent and distant. Within this, there’s a profound honesty that resonates precisely because it doesn’t pretense confidence upfront but instead acknowledges how tenuous that confidence feels.
This tension gives way to a pivotal refrain that flips uncertainty into defiant motion. The repeated insistence that external judgments don’t matter reveals a core theme: empowerment through personal authenticity. Rather than bending to the expectations of critics or conforming to a sanitized version of success, the song embraces imperfection and rejection as catalysts for growth. In this context, references to visible setbacks and unseen wounds serve as metaphors for the hidden labor that underpins every breakthrough—those moments of struggle that never appear on highlight reels.
Midway, the imagery of a cold, unlit night reinforces a sense of isolation and solitude. Yet, woven within that darkness is the nascent warmth of determination. The juxtaposition of unseen pain with the decision to stand up again illustrates resilience not as explosive triumph but as quiet persistence. This section humanizes the inner battle, presenting strength not as innate but forged through confronting vulnerability and lingering in discomfort long enough to grow.
By the final passages, the song turns toward transformation. The narrative reframes past self-doubt as a foundation for a new, more confident identity. This evolution isn’t portrayed as sudden but as cumulative—each fall, each whispered moment of self-criticism building toward a fierce internal fire that fuels future flight. The concluding sentiment captures not just a moment of self-assertion but the long arc of becoming, where resilience becomes recognizable in the very scars it leaves behind.
Emotional Core and Themes:
At its essence, “Cold Night” dwells in tension—between self-doubt and self-belief, between isolation and shared experience, and between defeat and renewal. Unlike many pop anthems that rush to upbeat resolution, this song honors the shadowed moments of effort: the nights without light, the wounds nobody sees, the inner voices that doubt. Through those dark frames, it finds heat: a metaphorical fire that propels the protagonist upward. The result is a nuanced anthem of determination that values emotional honesty as much as motivational uplift.
Connection with Listeners:
Because of its candid emotional landscape and metaphor-rich imagery, “Cold Night” resonates broadly. For listeners entrenched in their own journeys—whether athletic, creative, or personal—the song acknowledges the unseen work behind persistence. Its placement as the opening to Medalist amplifies this effect, aligning the track with stories of grit, discipline, and continuous striving against adversity. Fans of anime and music alike find in this song a mirror for their own midnight struggles and dawn aspirations, making it both a compelling narrative accompaniment and a standalone emotional force.
Conclusion:
“Cold Night” is more than a theme song; it’s a narrative of transformation. By pairing unfiltered self-reflection with a drive to rise above doubt, HANA and CHANMINA craft an anthem that feels deeply human and intensely motivational. Its emotional depth lies not in dramatic proclamations but in the quiet resolve found in vulnerability. In doing so, the track becomes an enduring soundtrack for anyone navigating cold nights on the path toward their dreams—illuminated not by external lights but by the internal fire that refuses to fade.
