Answer For...
BRAHMAN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
頭を下げ昨日と続く過ち抱く
かかる意識を受け「罪」と悶えるなか目を瞑る時
君行く道これと悟る『一人と永久に』
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
日々行く姿を伝えず
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
返すすべなどなくただある心細く開けたる時
朝日を避け追い縋る粗相と泣く
苦しみ断たず全て「白」と化し抱き込む訳
対する理由 対する答え『孤、そして強く』
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
日々行く姿を伝えず
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
枯れ逝くその声聞こえず
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
夢から覚めたと伝える
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
孤高と生きる声聞こえる
The lyrics to BRAHMAN's song "Answer For..." describe the struggles of trying to navigate life's uncertainties and mistakes while feeling alone and unheard. The verses speak to a feeling of urgency and overwhelm, with the singer rushing down a path without clear direction and carrying the weight of their past mistakes. The chorus repeats the phrase "what did you say?" as if to emphasize the isolation and lack of communication they're experiencing - they're not being heard or understood by others.
The second verse adds more layers to the singer's struggles, as they describe feeling helpless and isolated in their struggle. They can't find a way to make things right or communicate their pain, and everything just turns to "white" or nothingness. However, the final line of the verse offers a glimmer of hope: "孤、そして強く" translates to "alone, and yet strong." This could suggest that the singer is finding some strength and resilience in their isolation and struggles.
Overall, "Answer For..." is an introspective and emotional song about trying to navigate life's challenges while feeling unheard and alone. The repeated refrain of "what did you say?" underscores the themes of isolation and lack of connection, while the verses touch on the singer's struggles to find meaning and direction in their life.
