November
ヒトリエ / wowaka Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

こっそりと閉じた瞼
灯りを探している
頬を伝ってく風は
何処に向かう
何処に向かう

背高草に隠れた
汗ばんだ夢の匂い
空に飛ばした言葉は
此処にはない
此処にはない

もう一回と思ったのだ
何処へ行くあても無いのだけど
泣きたくて笑ったのだ
なぜかいつも笑えたんだ

もう一回と思ったのは
此処にいるわけにいかないから
寂しくて唄ったのが
これが僕と思えたんだ

ユラユラと踊るかのように
夜は浮かぶばかり
光を梳かすように
揺れた
揺れた
揺れたのは

カラカラと巡る季節が
あなたと横並び
あたしの眼の奥に
触れた
触れた
触れたのだ

もう一回と思ったのだ
何処に行くあても無いのだけど
泣きたくて笑ったのだ
なぜかいつも笑えたんだ

わかりきったことでも
わかりきることはできない
ふらふらの足取りは
何処に向かう
何処に向かう

ひとりきりで唄っても
忘れられる気はしないな
こっそりと閉じた瞼
此処ではない
此処ではない

浮かべた言葉は
音も無く弾けた
あたしが恋した
色の無い街並み

もう一回と思ったのだ
此処にいるわけにいかないから
寂しくて唄ったのが
これが僕と思えたんだ

ユラユラと笑うかのように
夜が浮かぶばかり
光を梳かすように
揺れた
揺れた
揺れたのは

カラカラと巡る季節が
あなたと横並び
あたしの眼の奥に
触れた




触れた
触れたのだ

Overall Meaning

The Japanese song November by ヒトリエ / wowaka depicts a person who is searching for something in the dark with closed eyes. The lyrics reveal their sense of confusion and uncertainty about their life's direction as they try to find a way forward. They feel lost and have no idea where they should go. The winds blowing on their cheeks seem to be urging them on, but they don't know where they're going. They're trying to find some light in the darkness, but the words they send out seem to disappear into nothingness.


In the second verse, the lyrics describe the scent of a sweating dream hidden in the tall grass. The person sent their words up into the sky, but they didn't go anywhere; they remained with the person. The lyrics suggest that the person is trying to hold on and move forward by looking for a destination, but in reality, they haven't even figured out where they're going.


However, the chorus uplifts the person's spirit as they realize their ability to laugh in the face of their struggles. They want to laugh, cry, and smile again, so they start to sing. Although their situation is lonely, they've found solace in their music, and it's become a part of who they are. They keep moving forward, not sure where they're headed, but they're taking one step at a time.
