光
石井竜也 Lyrics

These lyrics are from the song "光" (Hikari) by 石井竜也 (Ryuya Ishii). The song reflects the melancholic atmosphere of a city at dusk, where the sun is setting and the streets are painted with its fading light. The lyrics describe the weariness and slow pace of people's footsteps, amidst the noise and illuminations of the city. The passing cars and furrowed brows of the passersby contribute to the scene. The singer sits on a bench at the station, squatting down, reading a discarded newspaper, while tragedy and madness are being reported, carried away by the wind. In this fleeting life, time passes by, and the only desire is to have a moment of respite and light in this place.

The second verse talks about escaping from the realities of life, where no one pays attention to the hazy sky above. While everyone is concerned about their own troubles, they are preoccupied with cleaning up other people's messes. The lyrics suggest that even if one thinks about how to help, it feels like a fruitless endeavor. Unbeknownst to them, they themselves are being distorted and twisted. The desire remains the same - to have a moment of light in this place.

Overall, the song portrays a sense of disillusionment and longing for a moment of solace and clarity amidst the chaos and hardships of life.
