RUSH OF LIGHT
KAT-TUN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
夜風に湿った公園のベンチ
君を抱きしめた
ふたつの荷物が月明かりの中
ひとつの影に
大切にしてたアルバムを綴じて
東の空へ旅立つ君と
向かって行く俺たちを
君のそばで笑ってみせる
傷つくときも光放つ Rush of Light
最終電車の窓から見ていた
ふたり出会った街
震える君の手握ったそのとき
扉が閉まる
今この瞬間スピードを上げて
見果てぬ夢へ駆け出すだから
向かって行く俺たちを
迎え撃つ未来どんな日も
君のことを守ってみせる
迷ったときも光放つ Rush of Light
出口が見えなくても
転がりながらもずっとずっと
向かって行く俺たちを
迎え撃つ未来どんな日も
君のそばで笑ってみせる
2人夜空に光放つ Rush of Light
The lyrics of KAT-TUN's song "Rush of Light" conveys the idea of moving forward and facing the future together, even in the face of hardship and uncertainty. The first verse describes a scene of a couple sitting on a damp park bench, holding onto each other tightly under the moonlight. Despite carrying two separate burdens with them, they become one under the same shadow, and the singer wishes the person they love a safe journey towards the east, while declaring that they will always fight off any obstacles that come their way. The chorus emphasizes that they will shine a "rush of light" in the times they feel hurt or lost, and they will always laugh by each other's side.
The second verse seems to speak about a memory of how they met in their town, holding hands for the first time, only to be separated by the closing train door. However, this memory only further motivates them to speed up towards their unrealized dreams, holding each other's hands, despite not knowing what lies ahead of them. The final line of the lyrics describes how the two of them would shine a "rush of light" together, releasing hope and positivity into the dark night sky.
Overall, "Rush of Light" is an uplifting song about the power of love and the importance of pushing through darkness to achieve greatness. It suggests to aim for the unknown, but always remember to face it with optimism and togetherness.
