化石の森
柏原芳恵 Lyrics

The lyrics to 柏原芳恵's song 化石の森 speaks about the isolation of the city despite its vastness. The opening lines describe the city as being made of glass, where the stars cannot be seen, and it becomes an unknown wilderness. The concept of freedom, which is associated with the city, is observed to be ineffective as it eventually turns to bones, which implies that the city's freedom is lifeless like fossils. However, the song reminds us that everyone was born in this city for the purpose of loving and being loved, which is the warmth that people search for. People will forever try to find the meaning of life, which will always prompt them to ask questions.

The second verse of the song speaks about memories that are associated with tears, which are like a labyrinth where things cannot return to their original state. These memories are associated with yesterday when one was lost, leaving only the dream incomplete. However, people try to throw away their sorrow and focus on tomorrow, which they attempt to catch. The meaning of living and its peculiarities is mysterious, and while the time passes, people will always beckon.
