B-Blue
BOØWY Lyrics

The lyrics of BOØWY's song "B-Blue" revolve around the themes of nostalgia, lost love, broken hearts, and hope for a brighter future. The opening lines, "kawaita kaze ni kakikesarete/ saigo no koe mo kikoenai" ("erased by the dry wind/ can't even hear the last voice"), suggest a sense of utter loneliness and despair as the singer feels isolated and forgotten. The next lines, "yugande ku machinami mo/ iro asete" ("the distorted cityscape is also fading in color"), signify the transitory nature of life and how everything changes over time, including the people and places we hold dear.

The chorus, "oh baby true/ sunao ni narezu ni/ oh baby true/ yasashisa ni wa tere te bakari de" ("oh baby true/ unable to be honest/ oh baby true/ always just embarrassed by kindness"), hints at the singer's inability to express their true feelings, especially when it comes to love, and the fear of being vulnerable. The lines "pocket ni tsumekonda yume dake de sugoseta ne/ kono mama de itsumade mo tsuzuku nante" ("just spent time with the dream I held in my pocket/ thinking it would continue forever like this") suggest a longing for the past and acknowledging that sometimes, holding onto our dreams can be a way of holding onto the people we have lost.

The song's chorus also emphasizes the importance of love and the struggles people face when trying to express it. The lines "oh baby blue/ dakiatte ita kedo/ oh baby blue/ chigau ashita wo mitsumeteta" ("oh baby blue/ we were embracing but/ oh baby blue/ we were looking at a different tomorrow") signify the pain of a broken relationship, where people can hold onto each other without really being on the same page. However, the song ends with a message of hope, suggesting that even when we've been hurt or feel broken, we can still find the courage to smile and move on.
