ともす灯 やどす灯
スカート Lyrics

These lyrics, from スカート's song ともす灯 やどす灯, depict memories from a past day that are seeping through the gaps between one's fingers. The singer hesitates to bring color to their lips, perhaps suggesting a reluctance to express or confront these memories. They try to hold back the memories, as they fear they cannot return to that time once they fully remember it. However, the body continues to be haunted by the uneasiness that remains even now.

In order to prevent sorrow, the singer tries to forget those lingering spirits of that particular day. The night wind feels particularly lonely, and even though the singer tries to catch the shadows as you tell them to, outside it is raining, the rain filling up their palms. But because you sing, they won't lose their way anymore.

Overall, these lyrics seem to explore the struggle of holding onto and letting go of memories. The singer tries to forget and mask the pain associated with those memories, but the uneasiness still lingers within them. The presence of another person, who sings and gives them comfort, brings hope that they won't lose their way despite the loneliness and rain surrounding them.
