なないろスコア
霜月はるか Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
溢れそうな想いを 書き留めた手紙(スコア)
勇気を出して 君にそっと手渡した
上手く伝わるかな 自信なんてないから
いつだって期待と不安に揺れてる
やがて耳に響いた 君の演奏は
ちっぽけな想像を 軽く飛び越えて
箱庭の世界に繋がれた旋律(メロディ)を
行き先を委ねるのは 少し怖いけど
まだ見ぬ空の色を わたしは知りたい
一緒に旅をしよう なないろの景色へ
モノクロの音が色付いてく
変わること恐れるより 楽しんだ方がずっと
幸せだと気付いたんだ
たくさんの音たちを 書き留めた譜面(スコア)
ありのままのわたしを ぎゅっと詰め込んだ
箱庭の世界の自分だけの旋律(メロディ)は
君の声に乗せて 羽ばたくよ 彼方へ
行き先を委ねながら 自分の信念(こころ)は
守れるしなやかさも 持って生きたい
今胸に抱いた なないろの欠片を
ひとつまたひとつ 記してゆく
誰の手に手渡しても 変わらない想いがある
それがきっと"わたし"なんだ
繋がりめぐり逢う なないろの音色が
これからの未来 拓いてゆく
託すこと 貫くこと バランスを取りながら
歩いてゆこう
この場所に集った なないろの絆で
新しい景色 探しに行こう
変わること恐れるより 楽しむことが
わたしの"音楽"だと気付いたんだ
The lyrics to "なないろスコア" by 霜月はるか is about the power of music and how it can bring people together. The song starts with the singer writing a letter expressing their overflowing emotions and then passing it on to a person they care about. The singer is unsure if this message will be conveyed properly because they lack confidence.
The second verse talks about the recipient of the letter playing music that exceeds the singer's imagination, and the melody of the music takes the listener to faraway places. The singer is willing to surrender themselves and explore new sights with the recipient because they are more interested in enjoying life than being afraid of change. In the bridge, the singer writes down their thought process and their unwavering feelings that they will not change regardless of whoever they pass them onto.
The chorus repeats the title, "なないろスコア" which can be interpreted as a score of seven colors, a poetic expression for the different emotions in life. The music and friendship of the people around the singer are like a pallet rich with colors that they can imagine and create a new world with. The song ends with the singer deciding to move forward with their music while cherishing the connections they made since everyone has a unique story to tell.
Overall, the lyrics of "なないろスコア" encourage listeners to take action, accept change, and seek out new adventures while finding harmony in music and friends.

Stars off with a couple of nice rock songs. Suddenly, track 6, rocking some opera metal. And track 8 becomes an electronic rock track. That's pretty legit yo.
