Thank You For Everything
岩田さゆり Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

明けない夜などないなんてウソで
一人で生きて行けると思った
君の笑顔は痛いほどしみこむ
すてたはずの信じる心に
知らないフリをしてくれた君の
優しさ全部受けとめたい
So Thank You For Everything
今動きだした

届けてほしいよ忘られぬこの思い
So I Can't Forget Everytime
重ねあわせて始まる
ありがとう My Best Friend
側にいてくれる勇気
君と出会った夕焼け帰り道
ひとりじゃないって思い始めた
ありがとうをくれた君の笑顔が
まぶしすぎて目をとじてこぼれた
信じることは弱さなんかじゃない
今このトキメキはなしたくない
So Thank You For Everything
ここから変わり始める
真っすぐな道などないと気づいた強さ見つけた
So I Can't Forget Everytime
つないだらはなさないで
ありがとう My Best Friend
一緒に歩いて行ける
So Thank You For Everything
夢の終わりは
いつも同じ場所で消えるとしても
So I Can't Forget Everytime
いつもひとりじゃない
ありがとう My Best Friend

いつも君がいたね
いつも君がいたね

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 岩田さゆり's song "Thank you for everything" convey a deep sense of appreciation towards a friend who has provided comfort and support during difficult times. The opening lines suggest that the singer has been going through a tough time, but their friend's kindness and smile have helped them through it. The singer expresses gratitude for the friend, acknowledging that they "pretended not to know" certain things in order to spare the singer pain. The phrase "すてたはずの信じる心に" (stoicaru hazu no shinjiru kokoro ni) can be translated as "in my heart, which I thought I had abandoned my beliefs in", further emphasizing the depth of the singer's emotional turmoil.

As the song progresses, we see the singer acknowledging the strength they have found through their friendship, realizing that the only way to move forward is to accept the challenges and uncertainties of life. The lyrics "真っすぐな道などないと気づいた強さ見つけた" (massugu na michi nado nai to kizuita tsuyosa mitsuketa) mean "I realized there is no straight path in life and found strength". The closing lines express a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past, but also convey a sense of comfort in knowing that the friend will always be there for them, even if only in memory.

Overall, the song expresses the idea that the most meaningful things in life are the connections we make with others, and the support and love we receive from them. It is a beautiful tribute to the power of friendship and the importance of expressing gratitude.
