Kahimi sings in English, French, and Japanese (among other languages) with breathy child-like vocals. Her music can be considered ethereal, whispery pop; a number of songs have been written for her by Momus. She also has a strong connection to Cornelius, who collaborated on many early works, and whose trendy Trattoria label released many of her EPs in the mid-'90s.
You are here for a light
カヒミ・カリィ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
if you disapper
the light will disapper
it seems like you are trying
to grab the light
but it's something to
sense and not to touch
the moment you grab it,it's
the palm lf the hand
you are here for a light
you're like a sailor who's
wandering and looking for a
light
but you don't notice the small
light and pass by
you might even shipwreck now
into the big wave
you demand the strong light
that leads you too much that
you lose direction
you are here for a light
someday,morning comes but you
are worm out and
fall into deep sleep
without noticing anything
at that moment you are wrapped
into the ray of
light and sleep in peace
you will realize when you awake
that you were just feeling the
warmness of the light
you are here for a light
you believe that you are
receiving the light
but the truth is
that you might be giving the
life in the light
because once you leave this
atmosphere it becomes just a
space
empty for eternity
the light will disapper too
like the universe without stars
you are here for a light
you believe that you are
receiving the light
but the truth is
that you might be giving the
life in the light
you are here for a light
These lyrics, from the song "You are here for a light" by カヒミ・カリィ, convey a message about the pursuit of light and its transient nature. The song suggests that the "light" represents something desirable or meaningful in life, but it can easily disappear if one is not careful. The lyrics describe the struggle of trying to grasp onto the light, only to find darkness when it is finally obtained. The hand metaphorically represents the futility of trying to possess or control the light, as it slips away once it is grasped.
The lyrics also depict the singer as a sailor searching for a light, symbolizing an individual's search for guidance or purpose. However, they overlook the small lights along the way and risk getting lost in the vastness of the ocean, or in this case, life. The song suggests that the singer demands a strong light, which sometimes leads to losing direction and potentially causing their own downfall.
In the last verse, the lyrics express the idea that the singer may think they are receiving the light, but in truth, they may actually be giving their life to the light. The song implies that once one leaves this earthly realm, the light and all that it represents become empty and meaningless, just like the universe without stars.
Overall, the lyrics carry a sense of introspection and contemplation about the pursuit of meaningful experiences in life and the transient nature of those moments of light.
