Sunrise Sunset
奥井雅美 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

すれ違う人達に混じり
がむしゃらにただ歩いてきた
あぁ前だけを見るのが
いつからか怖くてしかたない
星だってつかめたあの頃
夢の中空が大好きで
だけどうつむいてしまうのが
いつからか癖になってる

Don't wanna believe
広い世界生きることって
Sunrise また出会える
長いこの道が続く輝く丘で
もう沈む太陽追いかけなくてもいい
そっと眠ればいい
心から笑える幸せ
見失いかけていたのは何故？
Love 誰だって何より
大切な人を守りたい
それはきっと見えなくても
Sunrise 照らして行く
長いこの道の途中迷わないように
そう誰にもある道しるべ
淋しさをそっと包み込む

Someday,Everyone have
to go faraway...
サヨナラに消えるそれぞれの道
そう涙なんて零せないほど
今を生きるSunrise Sunset

もう沈む太陽追いかけなくてもいい
そっと眠ればいい

The song speaks to many universal themes, including the passage of time, the search for meaning and purpose, and the struggle to find one's place in the world. The imagery of the sunrise and sunset represents the cyclical nature of life and the hope that even in the darkest moments, there is always a new day on the horizon. The singer encourages the listener to embrace the journey, to find strength in their relationships and to never lose sight of the things that truly matter.
