さらば青春
Husking Bee Lyrics

The lyrics of Husking Bee's song さらば青春 ('Goodbye Youth') evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past. The song talks about walking down the streets of their hometown that they used to walk with someone, possibly a lover or a friend. It's been a long time, but the town still looks the same. The sunset makes everything glow, but the singer cannot see it. They once shouted each other's name, but now the other person has become a distant memory. The singer continues to walk alone and smells the scent of winter in the air. They realize that they foolishly kept adding up distant dreams, as though they were attainable. They used to swear that they wouldn't be liars to themselves or others, but time just passed by, leaving only tears as proof that they have lived through it.

The chorus repeats that the singer held the other person countless times, but now they've become a distant memory. The final verse talks about how time has passed and how they've become adults without realizing it. It's time to say goodbye to the old days and go on to new adventures. The song explores the bittersweet feeling of letting go of the past and moving forward.
