Little Explorer
原田ひとみ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
翼広げて
消えるあの日 残る声が
刻まれた記憶 揺らいで
壊れかけた籠に 暗い闇が絡めた
鎖を解き放てば
そう 遠く遠く果てなく
手と手とりあえれば 明日変えていける
心の奥に宿した 希望の光照らす勇気
宇宙(そら)に届けて
夢みたこと 覚えている
伝えたい気持ち 信じて
嘘の向こう側に 隠されてた真実
この手に受け止めれば
浮かび上げるその世界を忘れたくないから
涙見せはしない
いつかきっと辿り着ける
ふたり描いたその未来へと
時を繋げて
The lyrics of 原田ひとみ's song little explorer speak of taking flight towards one's dreams and overcoming the pains of the past. With lyrics like "強く想い巡らせ" ("strength in thoughts circulating") and "翼広げて" ("spread your wings"), the song encourages listeners to embrace their aspirations and soar above any obstacles in their way. This sentiment is reinforced in the chorus, which speaks of reaching out for a better tomorrow and changing the future with one's own hands.
The second verse speaks to the idea of facing one's past and coming to terms with it. The line "嘘の向こう側に 隠されてた真実" ("the truth hidden beyond the lies") speaks to how difficult it can be to uncover the truth when it has been buried under the weight of pain and suffering. However, the line "この手に受けとめれば" ("if I accept it with these hands") seems to suggest that by facing the darkness head-on, one can embrace the light and move forward.
