What do you do recently?
また、見過ごした?
NO, I will not look
slow motion (Gradation)
ふと振り向いたら
じっと見つめてた
僕をなぞるその目で
on from the bottom

鮮やかに色づけたい?
軽やかに踊ろうよ
そう今だけは
We will dance now 嫌な事は
We will dance now 忘れてさ
I can do it If I wish to
Give it a try

だってEven if I care
ずっとI will not change
君もなぞられるその
all of your heart
誰だってそうだから
一人じゃないんだよ
そうこれからも
I will dance now いつだって
I will dance now 支えてる
I can do it if I wish to
Give it a try

We will dance now 嫌な事は
We will dance now 忘れてさ
I can do it if I wish to
Give it a try
I will dance now いつだって
I will dance now 支えてる

I can do it if I wish to
Give it a try

Overall Meaning

The song "One's Shadow" by Nobuo Kuramatsu (村上信五) is a motivational song that encourages listeners to keep moving forward, even in the face of difficult times. The lyrics evoke a sense of self-doubt and anxiety, asking "What do you do recently? Have you missed anything?" before asserting "NO, I will not look". The key message of the song is that, no matter what obstacles we may face, we should keep dancing and pushing forward, never losing sight of our dreams.

The imagery used in the song is particularly interesting, with the use of slow motion and gradation suggesting a sense of time passing and emotions shifting. The line "on from the bottom" also suggests a sense of starting from a low point and working our way up. This is further reinforced by the lines "Do you want to color vividly? Let's dance lightly", which suggest an active and colourful way of moving forward.

The song also includes a sense of camaraderie, with the line "Everyone is like that, so you are not alone" reminding listeners that they are not alone in their struggles. The repeated refrain "We will dance now, forget the things we hate" is also a powerful reminder to live in the present and not let past traumas hold us back.

Overall, "One's Shadow" is a beautifully written and inspiring song that encourages listeners to keep pushing forward no matter what challenges they may face.
