winding road
????? Ayumi Hamasaki Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

飛び方忘れた鳥のように
歩き方を忘れた僕は
ただひたすら走り続けた

長かったような短かったような
そんな道のりを今
振り返って眺めてみる
そうこれが僕の選んだ道

ねぇ僕が残して来た足跡はさ
いびつで泥だらけだったりするよ
ねぇだけど少しも悔やんでなんかないよ
心から誇りに思ってるんだ

そうこれが僕の選んだ道

ねぇ僕が残して来た足跡はさ
いびつで泥だらけだったりするよ
ねぇだけど少しも悔やんでなんかないよ
心から誇りに思ってるんだ

ねぇ今もうまくは生きれないよ
そんなに器用な僕じゃないんだ
ねぇだけどひとつだけ言えるとしたら
これからも胸を張ってこの道を行くさ

飛び方忘れた鳥はいつか




もう一度はばたけるだろう
僕が歩き出せたように

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song 'Winding Road' by Ayumi Hamasaki is filled with powerful messages, and it talks about the journey that one undertakes in life. The opening lines, "Like a bird who forgot to fly, I forgot how to walk, and just kept running tirelessly" speak of how one can be so consumed with the process of staying afloat and surviving that they forget to live. The journey becomes a blur, and before one knows it, they are merely going through the motions of life without direction.


The refrain, "This is the path I have chosen for myself," shows that even though the journey may have been long and twisted, there is a sense of pride in knowing that this is the path you have taken, and that one has left their own unique mark on it. The lines, "Hey, the footprints I left behind are sometimes crooked and covered in mud, but I don't regret anything. I am truly proud of them," further emphasizes this point.


Towards the end of the song, there is a sense of hope, that even though one may stumble and fall along the way, just like the bird that forgot to fly, they can pick themselves up again, and take to the skies once more. The lines, "The bird that forgot how to fly might be able to take flight once more, and just like that, I started walking," speak of the resilience that one can have in the face of adversity and how it can inspire others to do the same.


Overall, the song 'Winding Road' is a powerful anthem that speaks of the struggles and triumphs of life and the importance of staying true to oneself, even in the face of the unknown.
