今を描こう
石井竜也 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
生きて行くことは
朦朧として見えない道を 探し歩く
ああいうものなのか
愛というものは
二人とも離れることなんて
思いもしなかった
君がいない部屋の中は
残されたまま
置かれてた写真を伏せてみても
そういうことなのか 今頃気付いた
理想を追いかけることより
今を描く
もう二度と来ない 季節は過ぎて
思い出だけが窓に映り
潤んだりして
いつものように何気ない日々
過ごそうとしても虚しいだけで
紛らわそうと
街を歩いても思い出ばかりで
君がいない部屋の中は
まるで火の消えたランプの様で
残されたまま
置かれてた写真を伏せてみても
いつものように何気ない日々
過ごそうとしても虚しいだけで
紛らわそうと
街を歩いても思い出ばかりで
思い出ばかりで...
These lyrics from the song "今を描こう" by 石井竜也 explore themes of love, loss, and the bittersweet realization of the present moment. The singer reflects on the nature of life and the unexpected paths it can take, questioning what it truly means to live. The line "生きて行くことは 朦朧として見えない道を 探し歩く" suggests a sense of uncertainty and searching for direction in life, as they navigate through unclear paths and emotions.
The lyrics also delve into the complexities of love and separation, as the singer expresses disbelief at the idea of drifting apart from a loved one. The line "君がいない部屋の中は まるで火の消えたランプの様で" paints a poignant image of emptiness and longing, emphasizing the absence of the person they once shared their life with. The act of covering up a photo left behind symbolizes a desire to shield oneself from painful memories.
As the song progresses, the singer experiences a moment of realization, contemplating the contrast between chasing ideals and embracing the present moment. The line "理想を追いかけることより 今を描く" suggests a shift in perspective towards focusing on the present and cherishing what is within reach. The passage of time and the fleeting nature of seasons are acknowledged, with a sense of nostalgia and reflection on memories that linger like reflections in a window.
The final verses convey a sense of loneliness and emptiness that lingers in the absence of a loved one, despite attempts to distract oneself with mundane daily routines or by walking through familiar streets. The repetition of the imagery of a extinguished lamp and memories reflected in windows reinforces a sense of longing and a struggle to come to terms with the past. The song captures the universal experience of grappling with loss, memory, and the complexities of love, while ultimately finding solace in embracing the present and accepting the transient nature of life.
