沈丁花
石川さゆり Lyrics

The first verse of the song speaks of a wet and rainy environment where the singer finds the jinchoge, also known as daphne flowers, wet and leaning. This image can be interpreted as a metaphor for a relationship that has been strained by a heavy atmosphere or circumstances beyond the singer's control. The second line implies the presence of someone who is not allowed to be with the singer, and they can only secretly walk the hillside. The third and fourth lines reveal a feeling familiar to everyone who has ever been in love - the fear of making a move as they consider themselves an indecisive person and are hesitating to take action. Even though the two are together, they are still lonely. The setting is at dawn on an alleyway not where things look beautiful, but where its endings and corners seem to meet.

The second verse describes more of the environment while highlighting the jinchoge again. It signifies the purity of feelings and passion that the singer has, such as the white color of the petals that spill onto the street where the place they walk like a path to the harbor. The lines express the feeling that love goes against what they believe is right, and yet they hold a burning desire in their heart. They confess their inability to forget the person they are with, and this deepens their emotions. The third and fourth lines speak of the intensifying emotions that the relationship brings about. When the singer sees light and hope as the clouds break, they are already near the end of the path.

Overall, this song is a beautiful representation of a person's inner struggles with their emotions, hope, and the constant fear of taking risks in love. The jinchoge, in particular, serves as a recurring symbol of purity and the intense energy that strong feelings entail.
