For Today
絢香-ayaka Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

昨日の長い電話がこたえて
長い夢を見てたような目覚め

もしもあの時「あぁしてれば」なんて
違うもう1人の自分想像して

つまずいて転んで心のままに行こう
何気ない日常に目を向けたら奇跡が

Sunny day ウソみたい僕を照らしてる
テレビ消して空へ

懐かしい人に会った日はなぜか
今の自分見つめ直してる

体の中喜びや怒り
愛も恋も皆同じ流れてる

負けず嫌いな自分も最近少し好きさ
たまにやりすぎて後悔なんかもするだろうけど
Sunny day 明日世界が終わっても
いいさ今を生きる

つまずいて転んで心のままに行こう
何気ない日常に目を向けたら奇跡が
Sunny day ウソみたい僕を照らしてる
テレビ消して wow

"愛してほしい"願望もストレートにぶつけて!
そのくらいの気持ちでいたらいいんじゃない?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 絢香-ayaka's song "For today" convey a message of self-reflection, embracing the present moment, and finding joy and miracles in the ordinary. The opening lines suggest that a long phone call from the past has left a lingering impact, as if waking up from a long dream. The lyrics then ponder the what-ifs of the past, imagining an alternate version of oneself. However, the song encourages moving forward, stumbling and falling, but continuing to follow one's heart and focusing on the miracles that can be found in everyday life. The sunny day metaphor signifies the brightness and positivity that can come from looking beyond the mundane. The lyrics suggest meeting a person from the past triggers a self-evaluation in the present, examining one's emotions, including joy, anger, love, and romantic feelings, and realizing that everyone experiences the same flow of emotions. The song celebrates loving oneself, even the competitive and sometimes regretful aspects, acknowledging that there may be moments of going overboard but ultimately embracing the present. The lyrics close with the suggestion to express one's desire to be loved honestly and straightforwardly, emphasizing the importance of embracing one's feelings without reservation.
