ClariS Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

過ぎ去った時は戻らないけど
数え切れない思い出が
いろんな色で飾られた
昨日と手を繋ぎ歩こう

私を囲んでた小さな
世界はただ静かで
緩やかに流れる時間に

漂ったままでいた
君の声が聞こえて
その先へ向かい出して
いつもと違う道選んで
少し怖いけれどね
歩き出した
咲かずにいた私の言葉は
優しいスピードで開いてく
いろんな色で飾られて
明日はもっときれいな花を

あれからいくつもの季節が
めまぐるしく巡って
緩やかに流れた時間は
遠くで手を振ってた
不安はたくさんあって
少し先も見えなくて
だけど君は傍にいてくれて
歌うように私を支えてくれた
いくつもの夢を見て今がある
数え切れない思い出が
いろんな色で飾られた
昨日を抱きしめて歩こう

楽しかった日々も
ありふれた言葉も
この手じゃ抱えきれないよ
いつも笑い合った
君への"ありがとう"
今伝えよう
過ぎた時は戻らないけど
数え切れない思い出が
いろんな色で飾られた
昨日と手を繋ぎ歩こう
いくつもの夢を見て今がある
数え切れない思い出が

いろんな色で飾られて
明日はもっときれいな花を

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to ClariS's song "flowery" is about cherishing the memories of the past and embracing the future. The first verse talks about how time cannot be reversed, but the many memories we have can decorate our thoughts in different colors, and we should hold hands and walk forward towards tomorrow.

The second verse reminisces about the singer's small and quiet world in the past, which was only floating in the slowly passing time until they heard the voice of a special someone leading them towards a different path. Though it was scary, they took the first steps forward and their words, previously unable to bloom, opened up gently into colorful flowers, promising even prettier ones for tomorrow.

The chorus reflects upon how many seasons have passed, how time flew by, and how we faced uncertainties along the way. However, the special someone who supported us in our dreams and filled our world with countless memories will always remain by our side. We enfold our past with open arms and embrace tomorrow with the colorful flowers of memories and countless dreams.

In conclusion, "flowery" reminds us that time moves forward and cannot be reversed, but we can cherish the memories and people in our lives, bravely face the future, and make it as colorful and bright as the petals of a flower.
