手をつなごう
絢香 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
笑い声や涙音
みんな生きてる愛する君と
広い海を渡るには
一人じゃ迷ってしまう
一緒に行こう光射す方へ
弱さ分け合ってく
『永遠』って言葉あるのかな
未来を思うと怖くなるけど
ずっとずっと続く夢があるから
手をつなごう
心が叫んでるのに
君は見てみぬ振りをして
前だけ向いて歩いて行くよ
写真の中笑う君、今を描けていた
『伝える』って事は難しいね
声を枯らしても届かなくて
ずっとずっと叫び続ける日もあるけど
思い重なり花開く時
巨大な力が生まれるから
『永遠』って言葉あるのかな
未来を思うと怖くなるけど
ずっとずっと続く夢があるからきっと
この空飛べたら会えるかな
泣いてた自分と君に送るよ
ずっとずっと信じていれば叶うから
手をつなごう
In 絢香's song 手をつなごう (Let's Hold Hands), she sings about the power of connection and love in the face of life's challenges. The song begins with the invitation to listen closely: if we do, we can hear the full range of human emotions - laughter and tears - and be reminded that we are all alive, together. She then alludes to the journey of life as a vast ocean, which can be difficult to navigate alone. It's only by holding hands and moving towards the light that we can move forward.
The chorus of the song returns to the idea of eternity - a concept that is both hopeful and frightening. 絢香 acknowledges the fear that comes when we think about what lies ahead, but reminds us that dreams can last forever, and they are worth holding on to. She encourages us to hold hands with those we love and jump into the unknown together, even if it means we'll be facing some difficult days ahead.
In the final verse, 絢香 introduces the idea of the power of communication -it can be difficult to express ourselves and make ourselves heard, but when our thoughts and emotions connect, something amazing can happen. The force of our combined hopes and dreams can make something big and beautiful happen. The song ends with the image of a shared space - a sky full of limitless possibilities, where we can hold hands and believe that the impossible can be made possible.
