予感
高橋洋子 Lyrics

The lyrics of 高橋洋子's song 予感 convey a sense of emotional vulnerability and confusion in the face of a bright and promising future. The opening line, which translates to "I'm used to loneliness, I've been living with it since I was born," sets the tone for a lament about the hard-won emotional resilience necessary to survive hardship. However, when confronted with the possibility of love and companionship, the singer's heart is "tossed" by the unexpected offer of an outstretched arm. This tension between the safety of solitude and the risk of intimacy is further explored in the chorus, where the singer admits to feeling a mix of strength and melancholy in the face of an overwhelming premonition of love.

Through imagery of light and warmth (such as the "dazzling premonition" and the "warm tears"), the song captures the transformative power of love and the potential for it to "fill up" even the most desolate places. Yet, the final lines acknowledge the fear and uncertainty that comes with this transformation, wondering what might change as a result of opening up to the possibility of love.

Overall, 高橋洋子's song 予感 offers a poignant reflection on the complex emotions that arise in the face of powerful emotions like love and vulnerability.
