Call of Silence
澤野弘之 Lyrics

The lyrics to "Call of Silence" by 澤野弘之 are a testament to the power of love and the strength that it gives even in the face of adversity. The song begins with a poignant reminder of the pain of unrequited love, as the singer asks, "Don't you think 'bout me enough?" The line speaks to the longing that we all feel at some point in our lives, that desire for someone to notice us and care about us in the way that we care about them. Despite this pain, the singer is resolved to stay by their loved one's side, even if it means sacrificing themselves. "I won't run 'cause I'm reticent" is a powerful statement of solidarity and loyalty, highlighting the depth of the singer's commitment to their loved one.

As the song progresses, we see the singer's love transform into a source of strength and inspiration. They declare their unwavering support and encourage their loved one to fight on: "So cry no more, oh my beloved/Go ahead, be proud and fight it out." The language here is both gentle and empowering, conveying a sense of tenderness and care while at the same time instilling a sense of determination and courage. The final lines of the song shift from addressing the loved one directly to speaking more broadly about the impact that their struggle will have on others. The image of a "rising star" guiding us "home" speaks to the universal human desire for guidance and direction, and the idea that even in the darkest moments, there is always a light to follow.
