いつの日か
米倉千尋 Lyrics

The song "いつの日か" by 米倉千尋 has a nostalgic and reflective tone, as it talks about a longing to reclaim lost innocence and happiness from childhood memories. The lyrics describe the feeling of leaving behind those happy memories of innocent youth, and the desire to regain those carefree days. The song talks about the courage to overcome difficulties, and the importance of not forgetting the determination one had as a child.

The first two lines talk about how the singer feels as though they have left behind their childhood memories somewhere far away with a tinge of sadness. The next two lines express the longing to regain the carefree smile which represents the happiness they had in their childhood. The singer then talks about being confused and finding themselves in front of unfamiliar stairs but with the hope of finding something on the other side. The next verse talks about never forgetting the shining purity of youth and urging oneself to be encouraged in tough times since everyone is alone ultimately.

The chorus talks about the feeling of emptiness that engulfs the singer after being too excited and the realization of how much they long for human contact. The singer then opens an album and finds that their dreams still overflow, giving hope for the future. The bridge talks about the strength of one's heart; it may be wounded, but it doesn't break. It ends with the singer acknowledging that although one may encounter voices that blame them from time to time, they need to keep moving forward, and the path ahead will become clear.
