西沢幸奏 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's the meaning?
I know, You know
What's the meaning of tears?
どこまでも続く未来へ
不安抱いて
溢れる
ひとりで語りかけながら
本当の声に
気づいた深い夜
いつも誰かの顔が
浮かんで
この弱さを消していく
どんな辛い
明日が私を待っていても
信じてる
この胸の中にあるもの
大事な人がくれた言葉の中に
優しさが
ある限りどこまでも
I know, You know
What's the meaning?
I know, You know
What's the meaning of tears?
振り向いてばかりいるなら
進めないと
気づいた
昨日に手を振り背を向け
柔らかな風に抱かれて
見つめていたのは
理想だけじゃないよ
迷うときもあるけど
いつでも
諦めたくはないから
どんなに身体傷ついても逃げなければ
その手には
大きな希望があるはず
正解なんてどこにもないのならば
考える
ことやめて突き進め
涙の粒が
零れ落ちる度
強くなる
光りが射す
あの空の向こう
何が起こっても
震えてる
夜を越えて
Believe in myself
どんな辛い
明日が私を待っていても
信じてる
この胸の中にあるもの
大事な人がくれた言葉の中に
優しさが
ある限りどこまでも

The significance of crying
To the endless future
Towards a future that never ends
Embracing anxiety
Holding onto fear
Overflowing
To have an abundance of something
As I talk to myself
Speaking to oneself
In the night sky that is blurred by tears
The tears are obstructing the view of the sky
Realizing my true voice
Discovering one's genuine voice
In the deep night
Late at night
Someone's face always comes to mind
There is always someone on one's mind
Making this weakness disappear
Overcoming this sense of vulnerability
Even if there are difficult tomorrows waiting for me
Regardless of what hardships the future will bring
I believe
I have faith
In what I hold dear
In what is precious to me
In the words bestowed upon me by important people
In the words spoken by individuals of great significance
As long as there is kindness
So long as there is compassion

The significance of crying
If I keep looking back, I won't be able to move forward
If I'm constantly thinking about the past, I won't be able to progress
Realizing that
Coming to understand
I waved my hand to yesterday and turned my back
I said goodbye to the past and moved forward
Being embraced by the gentle wind
Feeling the caress of a mild breeze
What I was watching was not just an ideal
The things I was observing were not merely aspirations
Although there are times I get lost
At times, I may feel uncertain
I never want to give up
I don't want to surrender
Even if my body is wounded
Despite any physical injuries
There should be great hope in those hands
There are immense opportunities in one's grasp
If there isn't a correct answer anywhere
Without a correct solution in sight
Stop thinking
Cease deliberating
And rush forward
And charge precipitously
Every time a tear falls
Each time a drop of tear descends
I become stronger
My fortitude grows
Light shining beyond that sky
The light illuminating the sky in the distance
No matter what happens
Irrespective of whatever occurs
Overcoming the trembling night
Conquering a quivering evening
Believe in myself
Having faith in one's sense of identity
Even if there are difficult tomorrows waiting for me
Regardless of what hardships the future will bring
I believe
I have faith
In what I hold dear
In what is precious to me
In the words bestowed upon me by important people
In the words spoken by individuals of great significance
As long as there is kindness
So long as there is compassion
