霞ゆく空背にして
Janne Da Arc Lyrics

The song "霞ゆく空背にして" ("Looking at the Fading Sky from My Back") by Japanese rock band Janne Da Arc tells a story of moving forward despite the pain and difficulties that have been experienced in the past. The lyrics speak of a desire to find oneself and to leave behind the things that hold a person back. The first verse expresses a resolution to not look back and to accept that they may never see someone they loved again, but if they were able to hold onto the miracle of having met them, then their worries would disappear. The second verse reflects on climbing over a rusty fence to search for a new self and feeling the pain of past hurts. The singer wishes that they had been taught how to love and how to forget, but despite this, they are determined to start a new journey and to find the meaning of strength in the midst of their doubts and pain. The chorus repeats the resolution to not look back and to hold onto the miracle of having met someone special.

The song overall speaks to the human experience of holding onto the past and the pain that comes with it. The message of the song is one of moving forward, searching for oneself, and finding the courage to let go of the worries that hold them back. The use of the fading sky as a metaphor also adds to the theme of leaving the past behind and accepting the uncertain future that lies ahead.
