あかね云
神野美伽 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

祈りの鐘の音が町に時を告げる
夕日にたゆたう船は明日を目指す
子どもの頃見てたありふれた日々が今は愛しい

忘れられない場所は胸の中にある
まぶたとじればそこはあかね雲ふるさとの空

にび色のひとなみ繰り返す毎日

夢褪せていく心電車に揺れる
ふたり見た夕空こんなにもあなたにいま会いたい
溢れ出すこの想い頬つたう涙
今は届かない声ひと粒の星がにじんだ

忘れられない場所はここに生きている
まぶたとじればそこはあかね雲ふるさとの空

遠く離れていても胸の中にある
風が運んでくれたあかね雲ふるさとの空

The lyrics to "あかね云" by 神野美伽 speak to the nostalgia we often feel for our childhood and home. The ringing of the prayer bell signals the passing of time in the town, and as the ship floats in the sunset, it aims for the future. The singer longs for the ordinary days of her childhood, now cherished and missed. Even though life can feel mundane and monotonous, the memories of home and the "akane clouds" in the sky remain imprinted on her heart.

Every day is the same shade of gray, and her dreams are fading away as she rides the train. But remembering the sunset she once saw with someone special awakens the desire to see them again. Overflowing with emotion, tears roll down her cheeks, and her voice can't reach them, but a single star twinkles through the tears. The memorable place she can't forget is within her heart, and even with distance, the "akane clouds" remain there transported by the wind.

Overall, the song paints a picture of the longing for a place that remains in your heart and the simplicity of the past that you can't return to. The last note of the song ends with a sense of bittersweet hopefulness.
