Turning Point
奥井雅美 Lyrics

The lyrics of "Turning Point" by 奥井雅美 reflect on the unpredictability and complexity of life, as well as the importance of unity and resilience in times of hardship. The song starts with the singer acknowledging the sadness and mystery that surrounds the news on TV, which often provide no answers or reasons to the events happening around us. However, the singer also recognizes that facing the reality of life can sometimes lead to confusion and misunderstanding of pain and tenderness. Nevertheless, the singer encourages to hold onto each other's hands, even if it means licking each other's wounds, as they search for some meaning and solace in the midst of the chaos. The chorus echoes a determination to fight against invisible enemies and nightmares fueled by illusions, until the turning point, when they can finally break free from their captivity.

The second verse delves deeper into the complexity of human nature and relationships, which can sometimes lead to self-centeredness and conflicts. The singer challenges the easy way out of becoming indifferent or cynical towards others, as everyone's potential can have both positive and negative consequences. Even those who choose to remain aloof might eventually be held accountable for their inaction. The bridge highlights the importance of being aware of one's own pain, flaws, and limitations, and the strength that comes with embracing those vulnerabilities without being swayed by illusions or mistakes. The final chorus reinforces the resolve to overcome any obstacles and laugh in the face of their Invisible enemies, no matter how desperate the situation might seem.
