WISH
Arashi [嵐] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
人々は寄り添い合う
輝きの中へ僕は君をきっと
連れて行ってみせるよ
恋は届かない時を経験するうちに
強くなってゆくものだね
切ない胸さえ
振り向いてはくれないみたい
手厳しい君さ
過ぎてく季節を
美しいと思えるこの頃
君がそこにいるからだと知ったのさ
今こそ伝えよう
街に愛の歌流れはじめたら
人々は寄り添い合う
輝きの中へ僕は君をきっと
連れて行ってみせるよ
やさしい男になろうと
試みてみたけど
君はそんな僕じゃまるで
物足りないんだね
風当たり強い坂道ものぼって
行けばいい
二人で生きてゆけるなら
僕が君を守る誓おう
街に愛の歌流れはじめたら
人々は微笑み合う
鐘の音響く時僕は君をきっと
強く抱きしめている
街に愛の歌流れはじめたら
人々は愛を語る
輝きの中へ僕は君をきっと
連れて行ってみせるよ
君を愛し続ける
The lyrics of Arashi's song "WISH" explore the theme of love, which begins when the streets are filled with the melodies of love songs. The start of this new chapter in the air creates an atmosphere of togetherness, and the singer promises to take their loved one into the midst of the glimmering sparkles, no matter what it takes. The song talks about how love grows stronger even if we go through experiences of not being able to reach it, and it is through these struggles that we become even more resolute to protect and cherish the ones we love.
The singer, who has experienced such a phase, reveals the pain of not being noticed by his beloved, and how he keeps trying to be the man that best suits her but is unable to win her heart because she is a tough cookie. However, even after all the heartbreak and hardships, he can find beauty even in the trying moments, knowing that his beloved is there. The song concludes with the singer's promise to be the one who protects his partner through thick and thin, no matter what lies ahead.
