JUN SKY WALKER(S) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

僕らはこの宇宙の中で
あまりにも儚い存在
生まれて死ぬまでの時間など
一瞬の夢物語
ほらもう夜が明ける
水平線の彼方から
ごらんよこんなにも世界は
輝いている目も眩むほど

聴こえるかい
すべての生命が音を奏でてる
Symphony のように
一滴の雨の粒がやがて
この広い海になるように
僕らに何ができるだろう
残された時間の中で
海鳥たちが飛び立つ
君の手を強く握った
僕らの弱い心に
ミサイルの雨は降り続けてる
美しい海や森や川
そして子供達を守れるだろうか

ごらんよこんなにも世界は
輝いている目も眩むほど
聴こえるかい

すべての生命が音を奏でてる
Symphonyのように

Overall Meaning

The song "Symphony" by JUN SKY WALKER(S) talks about the fleeting nature of human existence in the vast universe. The lyrics describe how humans are fragile beings with a short lifespan in comparison to the vastness of time, and how life is just like a dream that passes in the blink of an eye. The song then goes on to depict the beauty of the world and how everything in nature is connected to each other, just like a symphony where every living being plays a unique part in creating a harmonious melody. The lyrics provoke the listeners to ponder on the meaning of their existence and to wonder about what they can do to make the most of their remaining time.

The lyrics discuss the uncertainties and challenges that life endures. They talk about how everything in nature is connected and that a small drop of rain can make a significant difference in the vast ocean. They also shed light on the harsh realities of life, such as the missile rains that fall on beautiful places and the fear of not being able to protect the next generations from the destruction of nature. The song encourages people to contemplate their roles in protecting and preserving the world, just like the way that every element has a role in creating a perfect symphony.
