霜月はるか Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
月の夜 語り合った 小さな夢たち
叶えようと 微笑んだね
揺れる火を囲みながら そっと交わした約束は
今でも忘れない 瞳輝かせた時を
大切な思い出だね
どこまでも続いて行く キミとの旅路を歩くよ
心に降る雨に 傘を差し出すから
水たまり飛び越えたら 笑顔の明日を探しに行こう
見上げた空 七色の虹を描いた
木漏れ日に包まれてた 優しい時間に
安らぎを見つけていたね
金色に輝くような 大事な時を過ごしてた
どんなにつらい時だって 必ずそばに居る
キミのこと見守るから
どこまでも続いて行く キミとの旅路を歩くよ
喧嘩した夜さえ 今は笑い飛ばそう
ひとすじの流れ星が 託した願いを叶えるように
時を越えて 天の川に橋をかけた
いつまでも続いて行く キミとの未来を描こう
踏みしめた土には 新しい道が始まる
水たまり飛び越えたら 笑顔の明日を探しに行こう
雨上がりに見上げた空 輝いてる
日の光が照らしている 七色に輝くRainbow
The lyrics to 霜月はるか's song 'Rainbow' speak of a journey with a companion - possibly a lover, that has been filled with ups and downs, but the singer is willing to walk through it all, come rain or shine. They reflect on the little dreams that they shared, sitting beside a fire and making promises that they never forgot. They cherish the memories of a time when their eyes sparkled with joy. The singer recalls how they found solace in gentle moments, basking in the warmth of the sun and seeking shelter under the moon. They promised to stand by each other even in difficult times.
The song is uplifting in its message of hope, that no matter how rough the road ahead might be, they have each other and are willing to forge a path together. They want to create their own future, one filled with new beginnings and the excitement of the unknown. A future where they can cross bridges over the Milky Way, and paint rainbows in their sky.
Overall, the lyrics of 'Rainbow' are empowering, as they encourage listeners to never give up on their dreams, no matter how difficult the journey, and to always have someone to share it with.
