僕らは何も何もまだ知らぬ
一線越えて振り返るともうない
僕らは何も何もまだ知らぬ
うだってうだってうだってく
煌めく汗がこぼれるのさ
誰も彼もシルエット
大事にしてたもの、忘れたフリをしたんだよ
なにもないよ、笑えるさ
いっせーのーで、思い出す少年
僕らは何もかもを欲しがった
わかってるって、あぁ気づいてるって
時計の針は日々は止まらない
奪って奪って奪ってく
流れる時と記憶
遠く遠く 遠くになって
覚えてないこともたくさんあっただろう
誰も彼もシルエット
恐れてやまぬこと、知らないフリをしたんだよ
なにもないよ、笑えるさ
ひらりとひらりと舞ってる
木の葉の様に憂うことなく焦燥なく過ごしていたいよ
覚えてないこともたくさんあったけど
きっとずっと変わらないものがあることを
教えてくれたあなたは消えぬ消えぬシルエット
大事にしたいもの持って大人になるんだ
どんな時も離さずに守り続けよう
そしたらいつの日にか
なにもかもを笑えるさ
ひらりとひらりと舞ってる
木の葉が飛んでゆく
The lyrics to Kamal's song "Silhouette" depict a sense of nostalgia and longing for the past while also embracing the uncertainty and excitement of the present and future. The first two lines of the song roughly translate to "We step over the goal line together, not knowing anything." This can be interpreted as a reference to starting a new chapter in life or embarking on a new journey, unsure of what the future holds. The next two lines, "Looking back after crossing the line, there's nothing left. We still don't know anything," suggest that there is no going back and even though we may not know what lies ahead, we have to keep moving forward.
The chorus discusses the importance of not holding onto material possessions or getting bogged down by past mistakes. The line "Everyone and everything is just a silhouette" can be interpreted as a reminder that everything is temporary and fleeting, and it's important to focus on what really matters. The verse that follows talks about the desire to reclaim the innocence and wonder of childhood and live life without fear or anxiety. The final verse pays homage to someone who has had a profound impact on the singer's life and taught them the value of cherishing what's important and never losing sight of it.
Overall, the lyrics of "Silhouette" encourage listeners to embrace the impermanence of life and focus on what really matters, cherishing the memories and people that make life worth living.
