櫛風沐雨

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
君の姿が滲んで見えなくなる
今日も点滅する信号機が
この街に溢れる人を急かす
手に入れたはずの毎日で
満たされないのはどうして
灰色の空の下で
ただ頷くだけならば
誰でもいいじゃない
僕じゃなくたって
雨はまだ止まない
風がさらっていく
雨はまだ止まない
君の気配を残したまま
灰色の空の下で
傾いていく 何かが壊れて
僕の正解はきっと 君の不正解さ
平行線の未来
明日は晴れるかな
明日晴れるのなら
アスファルトの上 どこまでも続く
白いラインを 飛び越えて行くよ
雨音の中 掻き消されてた
言葉を全部 届けたかった
灰色の空の下で
叫び続ける 染まらないように
たとえ君を失くしても
いつか笑ってくれると信じて
雨が止んだ後に
洗い流して 強くなるように
淀んだ水たまりさえ
太陽の光たたえて輝く
青い空の下で
The lyrics of ChouCho's song "櫛風沐雨" paint a vivid picture of a person navigating through the challenges and uncertainties of life, symbolized by the relentless rain falling ceaselessly. The opening lines express the sense of losing sight of oneself in the downpour, highlighting the overwhelming nature of difficulties and obstacles that obscure one's identity and purpose. The imagery of the blurred figure in the rain mirrors the feeling of being lost or overshadowed by external forces.
The mention of the blinking traffic lights in the bustling cityscape adds a layer of urgency and pressure, as people are pushed and hurried along by the constant reminders of time passing. The singer questions the emptiness felt despite possessing the routines and possessions that were supposed to bring fulfillment, wondering why satisfaction remains elusive. The repetition of being swept away by doubt underneath the gray sky conveys a sense of being trapped in a cycle of uncertainty and indecision, unable to find a clear direction.
The singer contemplates the idea that simply nodding along without actively engaging in their own life might be easier, suggesting a resigned acceptance of circumstances. However, the acknowledgment that anyone could fill the void left by their absence hints at a deeper longing for connection and understanding. The symbolism of the rain continuing unabated, carrying away the winds of change, represents the lingering presence of the person the singer cared for, even as things around them shift and break.
The longing for a brighter tomorrow is palpable in the repeated questioning of whether the sun will shine again, offering a glimmer of hope amidst the storm. The determination to overcome obstacles and leap over the boundaries represented by the white lines on the asphalt symbolizes a desire to break free from limitations and reach beyond current constraints. The singer's resolve to make their words heard and resist being drowned out by the noise of life reflects a strong sense of perseverance and resilience, even in the face of uncertainty and loss.
Overall, "櫛風沐雨" captures the complex emotions of striving for happiness and understanding in the midst of challenges and setbacks. The themes of perseverance, hope, and the yearning for connection shine through the lyrics, resonating with listeners as they navigate their own journeys through the storms of life.
