SAKURA
清木場俊介 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

キミを見たのは夜の悲鳴の中
足をフラつかせた
ボクを見て笑った
ついておいでよと
キミの手を引いて
重いドアを開けて
ボクの部屋へおいで
優しい風は今ボクらを包んでる

そんな気がしてたよ
うす明かりが照らす
小さな部屋でまだ
キミが来るのを待ってる
さくら... さくら... 君に触れたい
さくら... さくら... 君に逢いたい
キミが消えたのは朝の無音の中
無理に笑顔を作り
ボクの部屋を去った
曇る空の下で一人たたずんでる
空も泣いてくれる?
砂ぼこりが舞ってキミの後ろ姿
探して雨に打たれる
さくら... さくら... 君に触れたい
さくら... さくら...
君に逢いにゆくよ...

さくら... さくら... 君に触れたい
さくら... さくら...
君に逢いにゆくよ...
さくら... さくら... 君に触れたい

さくら... さくら...
君に逢いたい。

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 清木場俊介's song SAKURA describes the singer's love for someone and their desire to be with them. The song starts with the singer meeting their love interest in the midst of a night where they can hear screams. Despite feeling unsure and unsteady, the singer follows their love interest and they both end up in the singer's room. The gentle wind seems to surround them and the singer is filled with the anticipation of their love interest's arrival. However, the song takes a turn when the singer's love interest disappears in the quiet of morning, leaving the singer alone in their room. As the singer stands under the cloudy sky, they wonder if even the sky is crying for them. They search for their love interest, who they see disappearing in the rain.

The song expresses the bittersweet yet hopeful emotions that come with love. It shows how the singer's feelings fluctuate from instability upon meeting their love interest to a calm and gentle feeling when they are together. The song's title, SAKURA, also adds to the emotional depth of the song, referring to the Japanese cherry blossom that symbolizes both beauty and transience.
