ZUTTO
都はるみ Lyrics

The song ZUTTO by 都はるみ expresses a feeling of wanting to remain as is, without change or interference, just like the untied shoelaces at night. The lyrics convey the idea that the person wants to stay in their own world of loneliness, but despite this, they want their one special person to understand them. They may pretend not to know or acknowledge the person's presence, but they still talk to them about their future plans. The phrase "Heart の字幕" (subtitles of the heart) represents the innermost thoughts of the singer, the words that they don't necessarily speak aloud.

The second verse of the song discusses the mundanity and differences of life between two people. Even if they are together, their dreams and aspirations may differ, and they may feel a sense of loneliness even when they're by each other's side. However, this could be interpreted as simply appreciating the uniqueness of their relationship and its complexities. The chorus repeats the phrase "zutto" (always) several times, perhaps reflecting the singer's desire for something unchanging and constant. The final verse discusses the idea of being free like flying fish, and the confidence in offering that freedom to their loved one.
