SEVEN YEARS AFTER
プリンセス・プリンセス Lyrics

SEVEN YEARS AFTER by プリンセス・プリンセス is a heartfelt song that speaks of nostalgia, regrets, and the passage of time. The first verse depicts the singer's attempt to catch their breath after running up a hill, and marveling at how everything still looks the same as it did seven years ago. The second verse speaks of the sadness that grips them at night, causing them to even resent the fact that they ever met the person they loved, but their heart beats faster as they reminisce about how bright it once seemed. The chorus is optimistic: the winds of time will heal the wounds of love and bathe them in a sweet and gentle light. The singer remembers throwing away a silver ring that has now become a star, and they acknowledge that the happy memories of what was once the most brilliant days shine in their heart.

In the third verse, the singer dons a well-worn hat, reminiscent of the times they spent with their lover as a child. They were once kind of selfish and prone to jealousy, which would sometimes lead to childlike arguments. Now, they are in love, and they are happy, grateful for the past, and come to the conclusion that they will probably never experience a love that is as passionate as what they had with their previous partner. The winds of time, however, continue to blow, and even still, the days spent with that person still shine brightly in their heart.

Overall, the song speaks of how time can change a person, but it also points out how some things never change. The sweet and painful memories of the past will continue to shine in our hearts, and we must learn to cherish them, even as the wind carries us away towards new experiences.
