Flowers
船越由佳 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

にぎわう市場は収穫のカーニバル
私は遠い国で今ひとり立ってる
　　夢までの距離知りもせずに
　　わがままに傷ついてたきのうまで
ひろげたこの両手に
空よ空よ降りそそげ
そしてそして花いちめん
いつか胸に咲かせて

すれちがう人は皆喜びのキスして
瑠璃色のパレードはつかの間に過ぎてく
　　泣くことさえ忘れるほど
　　忙しく毎日が流れる
生まれた町から吹く
風よ風よ守ってて
私らしく生きてみるよ
もっともっと自然に

　　生まれた町から吹く
　　風よ風よ守ってて
　　私らしく生きてみるよ
　　もっともっと自然に
ひろげたこの両手に
空よ空よ降りそそげ
そしてそして花いちめん

いつか胸に咲かせて
きっときっと咲かせて

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Flowers" by 船越由佳 speak of the hustle and bustle of a lively market, contrasting with the isolation of the singer, who is standing alone in a distant country. The distance between the singer and her dreams is unknown, and until yesterday she was selfishly hurting. However, she now opens her arms to the sky, asking for the rain of flowers to come down and one day bloom in her heart.

The people passing by are all kissing in happiness and the parade of lapis lazuli passes by in a blink of an eye. The singer is so busy that she forgets to cry, as the days flow by in their hometown's wind. She wants to live more naturally and be protected by the wind blowing from her hometown.

The lyrics refer to the transience of life, as well as the need to remain true to oneself and to find beauty in the everyday. It is a song about hope and the power of nature, encouraging the listener to be open to the beauty of the world.
