空の青さ
新居昭乃 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ぼんやりと考えた
ああ ちょっと疲れているのかな
また同じ夢をみた
標識のない道が 目の前に続く
Let me go Let me know
ああ 人間(ひと)は なんて弱いんだろう
僕もまた そうなんだ
あきれるくらい 澄んだ青が目に飛び込んだ
この空の色は最初から決まってたんだろう?
ああ 僕は歌い続けるだろう
また同じ夢をみて
Life goes on...
The lyrics to 新居昭乃's song 空の青さ are quite introspective and explore the human condition through the observation of the color of the sky. The song begins with the singer pondering about why the sky is blue, which seems like a simple question but is actually quite deep when considering the intricacies of the atmosphere. The singer then admits to feeling tired and having the same dream repeatedly, which suggests a state of stagnation or perhaps feeling stuck in life. The line "Let me go, let me know" indicates a desire for clarity and guidance in moving forward.
The second verse expresses a sense of vulnerability and how humans are fragile beings. The singer feels this way too and is in awe of the clear blue sky before them. This leads to a contemplation of whether the color of the sky was predetermined or if it just happened. The song ends with the singer expressing a determination to keep singing and dreaming, suggesting a hope for the future despite the uncertainties of life.
Overall, the lyrics to 空の青さ are thought-provoking, and encapsulate the human experience in a poignant way. The song encourages the listener to reflect on their own life and contemplate their place in the universe.
