Lighting
Bahashishi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

いつもより朝日が何故かキレイに見えた

こんな心地いい朝に今まで読まずにいた
あの本のページをヒラヒラ捲ってみる
そこに書いてあった言葉胸にささる

「何を信じればいいか分からなくなったなら
まずは自分を信じて」心に温もり一つ

朝日の光やがて晴天に移り変わる
大きく深呼吸両手上げ伸びをするの
これまでもこれからずっと側に居続ける
私という人間を信じてあげようと

そう思った瞬間にこの空の光がね
もっと強く見えてゆく私も強くなってゆく

そう思った瞬間にこの空の光がね
もっと強く見えてゆく私も強くなってゆく

私も強くなってゆく

私も強くなってゆく

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bahashishi's song "Lighting" convey a message of self-belief and self-empowerment. The song begins with the singer noticing that the morning sun looks particularly beautiful and decides to open a book that they have been ignoring until now. As they flip through the pages, they come across a quote that resonates with them: "If you don't know what to believe in, start by believing in yourself." This quote gives them a sense of warmth and comfort.

The singer then goes outside and takes a deep breath, feeling inspired to believe in themselves and to always stay by their own side. They realize that as they start to believe in themselves, the light in the sky also seems to become brighter, symbolizing their own growing strength and empowerment.

The message of this song is simple yet powerful: believe in yourself, and you will become stronger. The peaceful and uplifting melody, combined with the thoughtful lyrics, create a sense of hope and encouragement that inspires listeners to embrace their own inner strength.
