Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 来生たかお's song Ashita Hareru ka express a feeling of uncertainty and nostalgia towards the past and the future. The first verse talks about the disappearance of shining days and the wandering of thoughts that cannot find a path forward. The second verse seems to ask whether it is fate or a decision to give up and accept things as they are. The bridge expresses the desire to cherish memories and fulfill dreams. The chorus speaks of a person who might be hesitant to show their true feelings and a hope to embrace that person one more time. The ending lines express the wish for a sunny tomorrow under the expansive sky.

The lyrics have a melancholic and wistful tone that reflects the themes of the song, which are reminiscence, uncertainty, and hope. The repetition of the phrase "Oh baby you're maybe" in the chorus adds a sense of tentativeness and doubt, while the ending line about the sunny tomorrow suggests a glimmer of optimism. The references to crying, shouting, memories, dreams, and regrets add layers of emotions and imagery that make the song evocative and relatable.
