Overall Meaning

The lyrics to K-On's "Song" explore the idea of unrequited love and the struggle to express one's feelings through music. The song starts with the singer stating that if the person they are in love with were to listen to the song, they would think it's just an ordinary love song. The singer then reveals that they have never wanted to sing this song for anyone because it's a song that they want to keep to themselves.

The chorus of the song repeats that this is not a song for her, not a song for me, and not a song for us. Instead, this is the singer's heart, and they struggle to convey the depth of their emotions through a simple melody and thousands of words. The second verse expresses the singer's hope that their message will be received by the object of their affection, despite their fear that it would only cause them pain.

The bridge of the song asks how the singer can give their heart to the person they love and expresses their wish that their feelings will be understood and accepted. Overall, "Song" is a touching exploration of unrequited love and the power of music to express emotions that are difficult to put into words.

It is almost impossible to do the thing about "forgetting the mood and feels from an anime after you done watching it"

But yeah there is other thing that can affect your mood and your memories to elaborate more to the anime even when you already done, the thing such as : special event like Maybe when you graduating from school or got into higher grade, when you remembering about school thing, when you in mood for fun and chill thing about Music (K-on Indeed have connections that mixed with chill and relaxing light story).
