詩人の旅
茅原実里 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
私が出来るのは 夢を語ることだけ
大きな世界でただひとり
あなたを待ってるわ 運命の出逢いが
明日手に入れると
決めた時初めて
願いを叶える道に立つ
迷いながら 愁いながら
愛を詩にする旅へと誘う 黄砂の果て
風は速く熱く 切り裂かれて
痛みが増す程に 強く強くなれるでしょう
未来を変えながら人は
遙かな終わり無き 夢の重さ知るのね
私も追いかけて力尽きても
気持ちだけ躰抜け出せるよ
遠い空を見れば
こころ羽になって
思いは望みを乗せたまま
叫べるなら 選べるなら
あの丘を越えて新しい場所へと 胸ははずむ
夜の寒さ辛さ 乗り越えれば
輝く朝焼けが 眩しい勇気くれるでしょう
甘い追憶の日々よ
幻はそっと手の中眠る
そしてまた陽が昇るの
迷いながら 愁いながら
愛を詩にする旅へと誘う 黄砂の果て
風は速く熱く 切り裂かれて
痛みが増す程に 私強く強く
もっと強くなれるでしょう
The lyrics of 詩人の旅 tells a story of a journey of self-discovery and pursuing one's dreams despite the challenges and obstacles that come with it. In the first stanza, the singer speaks of their desire to share their dreams with someone they hold dear, despite being alone in a vast world. They believe that fate will eventually bring them to their destined encounter. The chorus speaks of the journey to fulfill one's dreams, recognizing the doubts and sorrows that come with it but pushing through and turning their love into poetry. The journey is compared to a desert, where the wind is hot and fast, and pain can only make one stronger.
The second stanza speaks of the weight of dreams and the knowledge of a never-ending journey. The singer vows to chase their dreams, even if they are exhausted and can only rely on their feelings to push through. The third stanza speaks of the liberation and the lightness one feels when looking to the faraway sky and letting their thoughts and wishes take flight. If given the choice, they would choose to go beyond the hill and head to a new place, with the knowledge that the morning sun will bring a new day full of possibilities.
Overall, the lyrics of 詩人の旅 convey a message of perseverance and determination, even in the face of hardships, and the importance of following one's dreams.
