最後のエデン
美郷あき Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

遠い闇が燃える燃えて沈む欠片に
力疼く焔(ほむら)
誰を求める…この手
叫ぶ君の心知らぬままに立ち去り
忘れておくれ
望むだけじゃ無理、と。

まだ痛みに狼狽える

赤い赤い羽が落ちる受けとめて
どうか逃げないで
全て失う定め持ちながら

希望が未来を焼き尽くしても
いつの日にかまた甦る
輝く故に見失う夢
命飛ばせ最後のエデン

衝動。
又は絶望。
「弱キ者名ヲ名乗レ」
暗い。
暗い?
知らない。
誰の事だろう…私?
君は胸の光君をきっといざなう
終わりにしよう
願う場所は彼方

あの美しい楽園は
病める朽ちる骨を砕くハルモニア
醒めて気がつくの
意味は不条理を越えた怒りだと

優しさ信じて抱きしめるほど
いつの間にか孤独になるよ
瞳が罪を忘れない為
永遠(とわ)に語れ悲劇のアリア

希望が未来を焼き尽くしても
いつの日にかまた甦る
優しさ信じて抱きしめるほど
いつの間にか孤独になるよ

輝く故に見失う夢
命飛ばせ最後のエデン

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of 美郷あき's song, 最後のエデン, describes a dystopian world filled with darkness and pain. The opening line "遠い闇が燃える" (The distant darkness is burning) suggests that the world is coming to an end, and the singer is searching for someone to hold onto. The line "叫ぶ君の心知らぬままに立ち去り忘れておくれ" (I am leaving without knowing your heart, please forget me) suggests that the singer has given up on finding a solution and is accepting their fate. Despite this, they encourage the listener to keep hoping and dreaming, even if it means losing everything in the end.

The song also explores themes of loneliness and despair. The line "優しさ信じて抱きしめるほどいつの間にか孤独になるよ" (The more you believe in kindness and embrace it, the more you become lonely) suggests that the singer has lost faith in humanity and is struggling to find hope in a world filled with darkness. The chorus, "希望が未来を焼き尽くしてもいつの日にかまた甦る輝く故に見失う夢命飛ばせ最後のエデン" (Even if hope burns out the future, it will one day revive. If dreams are lost because of brightness, fly with life for the last Eden), provides a glimmer of hope for the listener to hold onto amidst the chaos.
