Passion
宇多田 Utada Hikaru Lyrics

The first verse of "Passion" by 宇多田 Utada Hikaru is describing memories of the past and the brightness of the future. It's a reflection of how life used to be and how much things change over time. The opening lines "思い出せば遥か遥か" or "omoide seba haruka haruka" can be translated to "if I recall, it's far far away" which implies that the memories being analyzed are in the distant past. The thoughts of looking forward to a bright future are juxtaposed with a timid fear of the unknown ("僕らは少しだけ怯えていた" or "bokura wa sukoshi dake obieteita"). This theme carries on throughout the song.

The second verse of "Passion" shows how memories can be triggered by familiar sights and sounds. The tinted windows are described as (懐かしい色 ni mado ga somaru) or "filled with a nostalgic color". The singer is then asking if facing forward will lead to seeing someone again. This could either be interpreted literally or metaphorically. Either way, the idea of the future continuing to shine regardless of the past is a continued motif.

Overall, "Passion" is a song about growth, change, and reminiscence. It's about how memories can be both beautiful and painful, and how the future is always on its way, regardless of what's happened in the past. The title "Passion" seems to imply a sense of longing or desire for things that are out of reach, yet the song ultimately ends on a sense of nostalgia and reflection.
