promise
HAWAIIAN6 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's hard. It's painful.
It's lonely. It's sad.
It's fated.
The heart is shrinking.
No more dreams.
We climb the stairs
step by step.
I try not to miss my footing.
Don't make a mistake. Slowly.
Doubt me. Keep me.
Betray me. Tell a lie. Get hurt.
I'm tired of being criticized.
I see we are getting cowardly.
Slowly. I put my heart back
in my treasure box
and locked it.
I don't wanna get hurt anymore.
I don't wanna drop
tears anymore.
I had wanted to be
skilled with passion.
But I notice
I hold a dirty treasure box
and cry.
The blue sky.
Do you remember my promise?
oh, that day.
The wound from that day has not.
Hasn't healed yet.
The blue sky.
Many season pass and my heart
has become dirty.

I don't wanna get hurt anymore.
I don't wanna drop
tears anymore.
I had wanted to be
skilled with passion.
But I notice
I hold a dirty treasure box
and cry.
The blue sky.
Do you remember my promise?
oh, that day.
The wound from that day has not.
Hasn't healed yet.
The blue sky.
Many season pass and my heart
has become dirty.
P.S. Since then, I planted
a beautiful seed on this hill.
I decided to wait here
until the seed grew big
and became a pure tree.
I still could not
keep my promise.
la la la la la la la...
Tell me why must we grow up




and turn into adults.
The same blue sky today.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to HAWAIIAN6's song, "Promise," depict the emotional journey of someone who has been hurt many times and is now guarded in their relationships. The melancholic tone of the song evokes feelings of sadness, loneliness, and regret. The singer feels as though their heart is shrinking and they have lost the ability to dream. However, they still have hope for the future, as evidenced by their decision to plant a seed and wait for it to grow into a pure tree, symbolizing a renewed sense of hope and trust.


The repeated chorus of "I don't wanna get hurt anymore" highlights the singer's fear of being hurt again and their desire to protect themselves. However, despite their guardedness, they can't help but be reminded of their earlier promise and the wound that hasn't yet healed. The final lines of the song ask a poignant question: "Tell me why must we grow up and turn into adults?" The singer is perhaps lamenting the loss of their innocence and idealism, and questioning the inevitability of pain and disappointment in life.
