SCARLET KNIGHT
水樹奈々 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
「守るものがありますか?」言葉よりも素直な涙
隠しきれない overflow
「信じるものがありますか?」
壊れそうな未来を何度も閉じ込め 心凍らせていた
想像が現実をいつの日か追い越して
幻の海泳いでた ずっと
今すぐ君に届けたい 嘆きの空を貫いて
夜が見せる星の鏡 真実を照らしていくよ
緋色の鍵 こだまする
僕の鼓動はもう止められないから
「大切なものがありますか?」
その温もり 髪を伝う優しさ 僕だけが知ってる
特別じゃなくてもいいんだ
すぐ傍にある いつも通りの笑顔 それが僕の特別
やっと見付けた 本当の気持ち
「君がいる」ただそれだけで強くなれるよ
不思議だね 解析不能な感情 僕の世界包んでいく
君の声を聞かせて
繋がる視線の先に 永遠の約束
響き合う 君と endless world
今すぐ君に届けたい 嘆きの空を貫いて
夜が見せる星の鏡 儚い記憶さえ 抱きしめる
僕がいるから いつだって隣においで
呼応する二人の願い重なって
あしたを動かしていくよ
僕等の鼓動はもう止められないから
Scarlet knight
The lyrics to 水樹奈々's song SCARLET KNIGHT portrays a journey of self-discovery and determination to keep moving forward. The singer starts by asking if there’s anything worth protecting and believing in, while tears reveal more than words. The overwhelming feeling inside cannot be contained, and it takes over, making it hard to move. The dream in the singer’s small hand seems too much to bear, but imagination pushes them forward, beyond the reality they know of. An imaginary sea is crossed, and the singer’s heart echoes loudly, propelled by the desire to keep moving forward.
As the journey continues, the singer reflects on the importance of the people around them, and how the people they hold dear make them stronger. They learn that love and warmth are essential elements of life and that true strength is found in the bond that is shared with those around them. The singer is grateful to have discovered this feeling and the truth behind the words "you are always next to me." They find it comforting to know that they are not alone and never will be.
Towards the end of the lyrics, the singer realizes that the endless journey with their loved ones will continue. Their voices and the looks they share connect them to an infinite world, and no matter what happens, their heartbeat will continue to guide them.

This concert is way different from the rest, but I love it. Mizuki you're #1of best j-pop singer. Scarlet Knight is my favorite song that you have ever sang. Beauty is what all your songs are, you are now Queen of the Cresent Moon or Full Moon.
