Background[]
"Lower one's eyes" is an original song by nulut. It was commissioned for the unit 25-ji, Nightcord de. from the game Project SEKAI COLORFUL STAGE! feat. Hatsune Miku. This song can be viewed as the spiritual successor to "Fixer" in terms of style. An Another Vocal of the song featuring Hatsune Miku Dark was made available in the game on the songs release, however, it is not available on any streaming platforms.
This song is told from the maid's standpoint and her complicated feelings towards her teacher (the witch). Consumed by greed and her lack of faith towards the latter, the maid makes a deal to betray the witch, which ultimately leads to the latter being arrested and burnt at the stake.
This song is commonly interpreted to be an allusion to the story of Judas and his betrayal of Jesus. Various details in the MV are most likely inspired by Osamu Dazai's work 駈込み訴え (Kakekomi Uttae), which tells the tale from Judas' point of view.
This song has entered the Hall of Legend and exceeded over 20 million views. Hence, this is nulut's most notable song, alongside Fixer, and one of flower's most notable songs.

Lyrics[]
| Japanese (日本語歌詞) | Romaji (ローマ字) |
|---|---|
| そう簡単な祈りだった 端から | sou kantan na inori datta hana kara |
| 段々と消える感嘆 | dandan to kieru kantan |
| 今から緞帳が上がるから | ima kara donchou ga agaru kara |
| 静かな会場を後にさよなら | shizuka na kaijou o ato ni sayonara |
| 言いかけていた事が一つ消えてまた増えて | ii kakete ita koto ga hitotsu kiete mata fuete |
| 背中に後ろめたさが残る | senaka ni ushirometasa ga nokoru |
| 従いたい心根を吐き出さぬように込めて | shitagaitai kokorone o hakidasanu you ni komete |
| 胸の中が澱のように濁る | mune no naka ga ori no you ni nigoru |
| 受け止めたいことが自分さえ抱えられず | uketometai koto ga jibun sae kakaerarezu |
| 持て余したそれを守っている | moteamashita sore o mamotte iru |
| 霞んだ声はからからに喉を焼いて埋め尽くす | kasunda koe wa karakara ni nodo o yaite umetsukusu |
| 何を言うべきか分からなくて | nani o iubeki ka wakaranakute |
| 感じてたものが遠く放たれていた | kanjiteta mono ga tooku hanatarete ita |
| 同じ様で違うなんだか違う | onajiyou de chigau nandaka chigau |
| 何時まで行こうか 何処まで行けるのか | itsu made ikou ka doko made yukeru no ka |
| 定かじゃないなら何を想うの | sadaka janai nara nani o omou no |
| 僕らが離れるなら 僕らが迷うなら | bokura ga hanareru nara bokura ga mayou nara |
| その度に何回も繋がれる様に | sono tabi ni nankai mo tsunagareruyou ni |
| ここに居てくれるなら 離さずいられたら | koko ni ite kureru nara hanasazu iraretara |
| まだ誰も知らない感覚で救われていく | mada dare mo shiranai kankaku de sukuwarete iku |
| 平穏とは消耗を以て代わりに成す | heion to wa shoumou o motte kawari ni nasu |
| 実際はどうも変わりはなく | jissai wa doumo kawari wa naku |
| 享楽とは嘘で成る | kyouraku to wa uso de naru |
| 「綻ぶ前にここを出ていこうか」と | "hokorobu mae ni koko o dete ikou ka" to |
| 都合の良い願いを同じ様に同じ様に呟く | tsugou no ii negai o onajiyou ni onajiyou ni tsubuyaku |
| 何処から聞こうか 何を見失うか | doko kara kikou ka nani o miushinau ka |
| 定かじゃないから此処を動けない | sadaka janai kara koko o ugokenai |
| 僕らが疲れるなら これ以上無いなら | bokura ga tsukareru nara kore ijou nai nara |
| その度に何回も逃げ出せる様に | sono tabi ni nankai mo nigedaseruyou ni |
| 心が守れる様に 奪われない様に | kokoro ga mamoreruyou ni ubawarenaiyou ni |
| 互いに託して 身体を預けてよ | tagai ni takushite karada o azukete yo |
| 君と泣く 君と笑う 君と怒る | kimi to naku kimi to warau kimi to okoru |
| 君と歌う 君と踊る 君と話す | kimi to utau kimi to odoru kimi to hanasu |
| 何時まで続くだろうと同じ様に同じ様に呟く | itsu made tsuzuku darou to onajiyou ni onajiyou ni tsubuyaku |
| いま忘れないよう刻まれた空気を | ima wasurenai you kizamareta kuuki o |
| これから何度思い出すのだろう | kore kara nando omoidasu no darou |
| 僕らだけが | bokura dake ga |
| 僕らが離れるなら 僕らが迷うなら | bokura ga hanareru nara bokura ga mayou nara |
| その度に何回も繋がれる様に | sono tabi ni nankai mo tsunagareruyou ni |
| ここに居てくれるなら 離さずいられたら | koko ni ite kureru nara hanasazu iraretara |
| まだ誰も知らない感覚で僕の生きているすべてを確かめて | mada dare mo shiranai kankaku de boku no ikite iru subete o tashikamete |
| 正しくして | tadashiku shite |
