空
大黒摩季 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
部屋の隅のグリーンも元気だし
でも 夢見てた友達が諦めて収まった
勇気づける心のどっかでホッとしてたりして
今なら 海へ向かうバスに間に合う
今度だけは見過ごしちゃいけない気がする
青い空の下でもう一度
つばさを広げて
一度しかない life
そうだよね もったいないよね
愛されていたいよね 本気で愛してみたいよね
小さなブランコが揺れてる
でも あの人はワタシの運命のひとだろうか?
本当はわかってるクセに 不安で面倒で
いつだって近所の公園で迷ってばかり
傷つけたくない じゃなくて傷つきたくないだけ
赤い空見上げていつまでも
熱い風に吹かれて
こんなに自由なのに
飛ばないなんて 悲しいじゃない
今なら 海へ向かうバスに間に合う
今度だけは見過ごしちゃいけない気がする
青い空の下でもう一度
つばさを広げて
一度しかない life
思うように生きてみよう
赤い空に抱かれてどこまでも
風を追いかけて
歩き慣れた道に背を向けて走ってみよう yeah
La la la la, la la la la, la la la la la
The lyrics of 大黒摩季's song 空 speaks of a desire to shine and always smile. The singer talks about how even the green plant in the corner of the room has vitality, and yet, sometimes the people she grew up with let go of their dreams and settled. The singer finds solace in the thought that their encouraging hearts might have given up, but now, she feels that she cannot let opportunities slip by and should catch the bus to the beach.
The lyrics induce the feeling of wanting to spread one's wings under the blue sky at least once in life. The song speaks to people who find themselves lost or hesitant because they don't want to hurt anyone intentionally or unintentionally. The singer encourages the listener to take a step towards their dreams and embrace their freedom. She urges to run towards the still-clear sky, chasing the wind, and leave the familiar paths to explore what life has to offer.
