Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Jikan ga mou oitsuka nai
Kizutsui te mo, tsuraku natte mo
Mada tachitsuzukeru guuzou
Shizumu sora, kagayaku gin iro
Ima, genkai no mukou de hikaru Starlight
Tada kimi no sono negai o kanae tai Starlight
Zutto soba ni iru nani ga okiyou tomo
Daiji na koto ga ou sugi te
DATA ga katazuka nai
Dore dake fuan ga tsunotte mo
Mada shinji te iru guuzou
'Koko ni iru'? riyuu wa naku te mo
Ima, souzou no mirai ni egaku Starlight
Kono kimochi wa uso ja nai kara
Tada kimi no motsu kanou sei sasae tai Starlight
Nige tari shi nai nani ga okiyou tomo
Fui ni miseru yasashi sa
MEMORY ni mada nokoru egao ga
Katarikake te iru
Ima, genkai no mukou de hikaru Starlight
Shinji nai to todoka nai mirai
Tada kimi no sono negai o kanae tai Starlight
Zutto soba ni iru
Nani ga okiyo u tomo
The lyrics of "Starlight" by イオナ(CV.渕上舞) talk about the struggle of maintaining hope and faith despite difficult and trying times. The singer acknowledges that they often think about someone they care deeply for, but they feel as though time is slipping away from them, and they cannot seem to catch up. The pain and bruises they have suffered prolong the agony, but they still stand tall and carry on. Through the "Sinking sky," and "shining silver," the singer finds hope in the distant "Starlight," that shines beyond their limits.
The singer further mentions how important the person they think about is, yet how information overload often overshadows the value of things that truly matter. They also mention how sometimes, there is a build-up of anxiety and uncertainty, yet they still hold on to the hope that they can move forward. Despite having no tangible reason for staying "right here," they still believe in the future they envision and realize that this hope is not a mere fantasy. The "Starlight" they see can ultimately lead them to their goals, and they will not give up on supporting the person they hold dear.
