鳥取砂丘
水森かおり Lyrics

The lyrics to 水森かおり's song 鳥取砂丘 describe the desire to escape into the peaceful and comforting surroundings of the Tottori Sand Dunes. The imagery of being surrounded by the smell of the sea and being buried in the sand represent a longing for peace and tranquility, away from the complexities and complications of life. The lyrics also highlight the realization of the depth of love and its importance in life, after having lost it. The line “鳥取砂丘の 道は迷い道　ひとりで生きて　行けるでしょうか......。" translates to "The path of the Tottori Sand Dunes is a wandering path, can I live alone and keep going?" and shows the artist's introspective contemplation about life's challenges and the uncertainty of going forward alone.

The second verse talks about the unexpected way happiness slips out of our fingers, and how love can become a habit that we forget to nurture. The artist wonders if she is somehow responsible for the loss of love and wants to seek answers from the wind on the Tottori Sand Dunes. The final verse refers to the inevitable passing of time, the fading memories that can never be relived, and the tears shed when trying to move on from the past. The artist looks to the stars on the Tottori Sand Dunes as a guide towards a future that may not be visible yet. Overall, the song captures the sense of longing for escape, introspection, and the search for a path forward in life.
