Southern Cross
Blue Journey Lyrics

The lyrics of Blue Journey's song "Southern Cross" paint a picture of a moment in time as the sun begins to set, symbolizing the passage of time and the fleeting nature of life. The singer reflects on the beauty of the falling petals in the autumn breeze, pondering how long they will be able to continue living in this moment. This introspective contemplation is further emphasized as they take a slight detour on their way home, capturing the transient and delicate essence of life.

The imagery of the hazy and light sky on the journey back home encapsulates a sense of nostalgia and uncertainty about the future. The bittersweet feelings of the days they have traveled so far becoming memories that will eventually shine brightly, even in the face of change and time passing. The repeated phrase "それじゃあ、またあした" ("See you tomorrow") encapsulates a sense of optimism and acceptance of the unknown that lies ahead, acknowledging that tomorrow is a new day with new possibilities.

The theme of uncertainty and the passage of time continues to be explored as the singer admits to not knowing what the future holds and intentionally avoiding acknowledging the swift passage of time. The growing complexity of the future that cannot yet be unraveled is juxtaposed with the desire to cling to the present moment, even as it slips through their fingers. The unanswered questions that pile up in the present add to the sense of enigma and wonder about the journey ahead.

In the face of time's relentless march forward, the singer finds solace in the brilliance of the moments of doubt and the ever-shining continuity of their days. The refusal to let go of the things they hold dear, even as the seasons change and leaves fall signifies a sense of resilience and determination in the face of inevitable change. The repeated longing for reassurance that the days will continue on, even if it's a lie, highlights the desire for stability and comfort in an ever-changing world. The poignant farewell of "さよなら、またあした" ("Goodbye, see you tomorrow") encapsulates the hopeful farewell to the past and the uncertain but promising embrace of the future, closing the song with a sense of both closure and anticipation for what lies ahead.
