手紙
東京事変 - 大人-Adult- Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
独りでにまた研ぎ澄まされて 新しい力を携えるでしょう
確信を持つのは当然なこと 何故なら
あー貴方はもう群青さに甘えずに 戻らない路を選ぶと云っている
私ももう溜め息は漏らさない 美しい貴方の決断がため
大人になった私達には 何時でも答えが要るんだね
「恐い」と 惑っている間にも
祈っているよ 貴方の色が どんなに酷く澱んだって変わらないさ
伝えたこと 遥か遠くで方位を失っても
どうか憶えていて
私はずっと唄っている
昔はもっと 季節の過ぎ行く速度が遅く思えていたのに
近頃 何だか速くなるみたい 為すべきことが山積みになる
大人になった私達には 今直ぐ答えが欲しいよね
途中で迷っている間にも
生命が芽生える
願っているよ 貴方の夢は どんなに濁る世界だって壊せないさ
望んだ侭 突き進んで居て 方位を誤ったら そっと思い出して
背負っても潰されないのは 今日も貴方が生きていると信じていて
疑わずにいるからなんだよ (ほんの些細な理由) どうかお元気で
私はずっと唄っている
The song 手紙 (Tegami) by 東京事変 (Tokyo Jihen) is about an adult who writes a letter to someone dear to them. The first verse describes how the person they are writing to is hiding their hand but their eyes capture something new, and how they will come with renewed strength after being alone. The chorus expresses the fears and uncertainties of adults and their need for answers, and how life passes fast and can be lost if they keep hesitating. The second verse talks about how time seems to move faster as they grow older, and how they need answers more urgently. The second chorus expresses hope that even if the person they are writing to is going through tough times, their dreams cannot be shattered and they should keep moving forward.
The bridge talks about how the author believes that the person they are writing to is still alive and well, even if they are not with them. They express their unwavering support and encourage them to stay strong through whatever struggles they are facing. The final chorus repeats the previous sentiments, emphasizing that even in a world full of uncertainty and change, their love and support will remain constant.
