Destiny
Eri Kitamura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

消えた光を取り戻したい
To the real

I do know where I'm standing
冷たい雨に
満ちた記憶誘い目覚めゆく
闇に飲まれ眠る世界
今静かに放たれるだろう

選ばれた剣
貫き進む奇跡
確かな強さだけ
掴んだDestiny

消えた光を取り戻したい
結ばれた絆が繋ぐ誓い
見上げ信じた円卓の城
今捧ぐ翼よ空に

In and around...
過去に落ちた涙
砂に変わり大地築きゆく
朝を数え夢をなぞる
今君は何を想うだろう

無限の彼方に
影の弱さを見たの
伸ばした指先に
宿ったDestiny

触れた未来を輝かせたい
絆が描く真実の扉
映す鏡に導かれゆく
今誇る翼よ空に

囁くような祈りが
星を結んで
立ち込めた雲を静かに
救い消すように
照らすの

消えた光を取り戻したい
結ばれた絆が繋ぐ誓い
見上げ信じた円卓の城
今捧ぐ翼よ空に
(To all...)

今この手に
(So we do believe in ourselves)

Overall Meaning

The song "Destiny" by Eri Kitamura expresses the desire to reclaim lost light and the certainty of one's chosen path. The lyrics illustrate a world consumed by darkness where memories and dreams are awakened by the cold rain. The singer is guided by their chosen sword and a miracle of certainty, leading them to a remarkable strength that seizes their destiny. The union of their bond is symbolic of the Round Table, offering strength and resolve. Moving forward, they seek to illuminate the future they've touched and value the guidance of the mirror to reveal their ultimate Truth.

The repeated phrase "取り戻したい" (torimodoshitai), which means "to reclaim," repeatedly refers to the desire to recover a sense of hope and light, suggesting that regardless of the length or severity of the journey, the hope in recovering what once made the singer feel alive is the reason they continue to traverse their path, exclaiming "So we do believe in ourselves" to emphasis the strength of their resolve. The song also contains imagery of stars and clouds, suggesting that the singer remains grounded in the present and seeks to find, in the imagery of the world around them, the inspiration and resources available to keep moving forward.
