凛として時雨 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

風は蒼で　海岸線を揺らしている
覗き込めば　夜になるの
見上げて　何か見える？

夜の色が海岸線を染めていく
消し忘れた君のカケラの裏を覗き込めば
夜に溶けるよ

「見つけて」誰かが

目を塞いで息を止めてfreezeする
あと少しで居なくなるから

見上げて　何かが見えるよ
「見つけて」誰かが叫んでる

誰かに聞いたよ

見上げて　世界は消えるの
「見つけて」誰かが叫んでる

Overall Meaning

The song "seacret cm" by 凛として時雨 talks about a dark and mysterious night by the seaside. The opening lines set the scene with the wind blowing in a shade of blue and the sea coast rocking to its rhythm. The atmosphere is eerie as one peers into the darkness of the night. A question is asked, "Do you see something when you look up?" as though the answer holds a critical piece of information. As the night deepens, its color stains the sea coast as the singer peeps into the back of the broken pieces of someone they forgot. The singer then reveals that someone is calling out to them to find what they're looking for.

The second verse starts with the singer closing their eyes and holding their breath, indicating that time is running out. They then encourage the listener to look up, and they'll see something, and someone is shouting for them to find it. The chorus is a repetition of the person calling out for someone to find what they're looking for. The song's meaning is ambiguous and open to interpretation. It could be about searching for a lost person or object, or it could be talking about looking for meaning and purpose in a dark and confusing world.
