Bank Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
風の香り 変わりはじめてた
緑はやがて 褪せてゆくけど
幹は今も 嵐に耐えてる
そこに立ってる
誰もが痛み抱いて
迷いも消えなくて
この地球は淋しさ溢れていて
あなたをただ 愛してるだけ
ただそれだけで生きて行けると
ぼんやりと思ってたら
何だか勇気が湧いてきてた
それは気持ちに 羽根が生えた様に
空を飛んでく
水平線の見えない
この街に生まれて
そして死んで行っても
あなたがいれば 全てを感じる
枯れ葉落ちてく
木枯らしが吹いてく
長い冬を越えて
自分の中 春が訪れて 夏は来る
永遠の緑は 心に広がってる
そう信じていたい いつの日にも
どんな時でも
evergreen with you
The song "Evergreen" by Bank Band is a beautiful melody about the strength, endurance, and steadfastness of love. The lyrics evoke a strong image of nature - the changing seasons, the rustling of leaves, and the wind carrying the fragrance of the earth. The verse describes the transition of time - the fading greenery and the unyielding resilience of the tree trunks. The chorus of the song presents a contrast between the harsh realities of the world and the simplicity of love. The world is full of pain and confusion, but love remains a constant. The singer expresses a strong conviction that love can be one's respite, and that true love can sustain someone through life's journey. The song's title "Evergreen" is a representation of the eternal nature of love.
What makes "Evergreen" a particularly poignant song is the bittersweet realization that nothing in life is truly eternal. Yet, the song offers comfort in the idea that love lingers on in memories long after those we love have passed away. As the song progresses, it transitions into a reflection on one's own life. The falling of autumn leaves and winter's chill represent the passing of youth and the trials of adulthood. The song invokes the idea that resilience and hope can bring forth feelings of rejuvenation and possibility. The final line, "evergreen with you," encapsulates the power of love and the promise of its endurance.
Overall, "Evergreen" is a song full of symbolism and personal reflection. It offers an ode to the resilience of love and the hope it can bring amidst the unpredictable storms of life.
