パノラマ
水樹奈々 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

重なり合う記億の影
空高く翼は舞い上がる
過ちさえ許せたなら
永すぎた夜は明けてく

深い霧の迷路悪魔の囁きに
かき乱れ見失い強い力に溺れてく
偽りの vision に踊らされとまどい

運命に抗う汚れ知らない黒い羽の天使

儚いこの身捧げ
生きている証を確かめに行く

君の中で続いている
幻はこの手で断ち切って
凍りついた涙の跡
消えていく痛み抱きしめ

蝕まれたココロ解けないパズルみたい
暗闇が広がり時と共に風化してく
欲望の秤に繋がれた鎖は
後戻りできない大きな流れに溶けていくから

白い光射して
裏切りに閉ざした魂解き放つ

僕の中で響いている
揺るぎない想いは甦り
「操られた人形じゃない」と
手をかざし明日を掴むよ

甘く誘う白い天使
舞い降りて悪戯に微笑む

君の中で続いている
幻はこの手で断ち切って

世界中でただ一人の
君と行く未来信じて

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 水樹奈々's song パノラマ is a tale of fighting against fate and finding the strength to overcome challenges. It begins with the shadows of the past overlapping, as the singer takes flight with their wings high in the sky. The lyrics ask, "If only mistakes could be forgiven, then the long night will come to an end." The singer finds themselves lost in the labyrinth of deep fog and the whispers of demons, drowning in powerful forces. Despite a false vision, the singer struggles against fate and emerges as a black-winged angel, free from impurities.

Through the lyrics, the singer dedicates their fleeting existence to finding a sense of purpose, to ensure that they have lived. Amidst the puzzle-like complexities of their corroded heart and the fading darkness, the singer is imprisoned with the chains of desire and unable to go back.
