青春
オフコース Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "Seishun" (青春) by the Japanese band Off Course (オフコース). The lyrics reflect a bittersweet farewell to youth and the familiar town where memories were made. The song begins with the line "Goodbye, young people," expressing the passing of time and the realization that without knowing it, the person has spent many seasons and had several dreams that did not come true. Yet, they are now ready to leave their familiar town, carving their youth and memories as they depart.

The second verse acknowledges the interactions and connections with people encountered along the way. These interactions bring joy and make the person forget their loneliness, but also bring frustration that is held back with tears. As they leave their familiar town, they carry the memories with them.

The chorus expresses the sentiment of leaving behind the hometown like they did in the past, questioning whether they will also abandon this town. It reflects on the dream-filled past and concludes that a single dream is enough to guide their path in life. It emphasizes that one dream can teach them about their own journey. The farewell is not only to the young person but also to their youth, bidding farewell to the memories associated with it.

Overall, the lyrics of "Seishun" convey the conflicting emotions of leaving behind the past and embracing the future, while also reflecting on the experiences, dreams, and connections made during youth.
