Rinne
石井竜也 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
人は誰しもが歴史
ここにいるという事はすでに奇跡
長い過酷な運命が
聞こえてくる空の彼方
あなたの中まで染み込んでる
過去は遺跡を残すけれども
未来は自分しか作れない
旅は決して楽しいだけじゃ語れない
だけど立ち上がらなければ
不可解な事 運命の人
弾き飛ばされても立ち上がって
物語より激しい世界
それでも力強く生きて行こう
聞こえてくる空の彼方
あなたの中まで染み込んでる
過去は遺跡を残すけれども
未来は自分しか作れない
The song "Rinne" by 石井竜也 is a powerful tribute to the resilience of the human spirit. The lyrics describe the journey of overcoming difficult times and the importance of taking responsibility for one's own future. The opening line "遠い気の遠くなる時を超えてきた" can be interpreted as the idea of moving past a distant and detached state of mind, one that feels disconnected from the world around us. The following line, "人は誰しもが歴史" suggests that we are all part of a larger historical trajectory, one that we are constantly moving through, and that this journey shapes who we are.
The lyrics go on to express a sense of awe at the miracle of being alive, of being here and now, and this is conveyed in the line "ここにいるという事はすでに奇跡". The song also acknowledges the difficulties we all face in life, but stresses the importance of not giving up in the face of adversity. The lines "旅は決して楽しいだけじゃ語れない だけど立ち上がらなければ 不可解な事 運命の人 弾き飛ばされても立ち上がって" speak to the idea that life is not always easy, but that we must keep moving forward, even when we are knocked down.
Ultimately, "Rinne" is a song about taking charge of one's own destiny, of recognizing that the past is important, but that we must create our own future. This is expressed in the final lines, "過去は遺跡を残すけれども 未来は自分しか作れない", which remind us of the power we all have to shape our own lives and determine our own destiny.
