鋼の森
工藤静香 Lyrics

The song "鋼の森" tells the story of someone who is trying to break free from their struggles in life. They are determined to overcome any obstacles that come their way, even if it means risking their own well-being. The metaphor of the "steel forest" and "iron trap" represent the difficulties in their life, and their determination to break free from them. The person's wings may be damaged, but they refuse to let that stop them from flying high and reaching their dreams. They encourage themselves to breathe peacefully and without regret, and although the truth may sometimes disappear without being spoken, they believe that eventually, the future will open up new opportunities. The chorus emphasizes the idea of collecting stardust to shine a light on the people they care about, even if it means sacrificing themselves.

The second verse talks about someone who has struggled to reach their goals and has finally achieved them. They may face relentless challenges along the way, but they refuse to be contained by any setbacks. The metaphor of the "back fin" represents their uncontainable spirit. They believe that the journey is just as important as the destination and that the end result can sometimes be bittersweet. Despite the obstacles that arise, they persevere, even if it means facing sadness and tears on their way to greatness. The chorus reiterates the idea of collecting stardust to guide those they love towards a brighter future.
