Believer
貴水 博之 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
時を戻し何を知る?
掴む夢は幻の夢か…
心の深い場所
宿る炎が燃え尽きても
終わらない終われない
繰り返しのゲームのように
あの温もりあの微笑みだ
誰にも消せやしない
愛していたさNo way
届かぬ思いOne-way
解り合えない世界で
生きてゆく術を手に
傷つき描く闇
消えない嘆き
この孤独のBeliever
絶望と希望が委ねられたチカラ持っても
変えたくて変わらない
思いがあることを知った
永遠の未来を創り求め続けるものは
あの安らぎあの香りだけ
もう一度会いたくて
愛していたさNo way
届かぬ思いOne-way
解り合えない世界で
闘いの道の先
光が映す影
ひとりの叫び
この宿命(さだめ)のBeliever
祈りにも似た憎しみが探し続けるものは
あの温もりあの微笑みだ
誰にも消せやしない
愛していたさNo way
届かぬ思いOne-way
解り合えない世界で
生きてゆく術を手に
傷つき描く闇
消えない嘆き
愛していたさNo way
届かぬ思いOne-way
解り合えない世界で
闘いの道の先
光が映す影
ひとりの叫び
この宿命(さだめ)のBeliever
時を止めて
時を戻し何を知る?
掴む夢は幻の夢か…
The lyrics of 貴水 博之's song Believer reflect on the internal struggles of a person who finds it hard to connect with the world around them. The song begins with the lines, "Time stops, time goes back, what do we know? Is the dream we hold just an illusion?" These lines convey the desire to go back in time and try to figure out what went wrong, and question the validity of one's aspirations. The next set of lines, "Even if the flame in the deepest part of my heart burns out, this game of repeating and never-ending will never end," emphasize the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of trying and failing, and the hopelessness that comes with it.
As the song progresses, we see that the singer is trying to find meaning and purpose in their struggle. They are searching for something that they can hold on to, like the warmth and smile of someone they loved, and the peace they felt when they were in their company. But they are also haunted by the past, which they cannot erase, and the feelings they have for the person they loved. The lines "I loved you, no way to unlove, one-way feeling, in this world where we can't understand each other, I hold the key to survival," display the person's desperation to move on but also their inability to let go of the past.
The final lines talk about the struggle of creating a future for oneself, in spite of the pain and suffering one goes through. The lines "Even if I hold the power to hope and despair, I know that my intentions won't change," convey the idea that the singer knows that they will continue to fight for a better tomorrow, but it will not come easily. The lines "From the path of struggle, where the light reflects shadows, a single scream, this fate's believer," signify that the singer will continue to stand tall, even in the face of adversity.
