Kan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
眠れぬ晩の思いつきで言葉がまだないのです
La la la la la la la･････
こんなメロディはどう
I'm a songwriter ただ訳もなく
過ぎ去りし日々を静かに掘りかえすのです
愛した人を
自信に満ちた青き時代を
恋すれど恋 月わかれ 涙凍る
美しい思いを できるだけきずつけぬように
遠い あの空のむこうに
そう 置き忘れてきた純情は数知れず
I'm a songwriter 何のあてもなく
迎えるべき運命に言葉送りたいのです
愛すべき人に
まだ見ぬ君に
自信も声も枯れた自分に
問いかけよ問い 道わかれ されど問う
転んでも叫んでも 答えなど何処にもないのに
遠い あの雲のむこうに
そう 広がるべき未来の景色未だ見えず
I'm a songwriter ピアノをたたき
繰り返す表現のみが唯一存在の意義です
La la la la la la la･････
こんなメロディはどう
The lyrics of Kan's song "Songwriter" are an introspective look at the life of a songwriter, who is trying to find the right words to express his feelings. The song opens with the singer welcoming the audience to his song, which he has written in the stillness of a sleepless night. He then proceeds to offer a melody, which he is unsure of its quality. The use of a melody as a metaphor shows the songwriter's concerns with the nature of his craft—how to balance the melody with the lyrics.
As the song progresses, the songwriter explores the various themes and experiences he has had that have often inspired him. These include reminiscences of past relationships, love, heartbreak, and the quest for meaning and purpose. He also reflects on his failures, struggles, and doubts as a writer. Despite everything, he remains steadfast in his determination to write and send his words to the world. The song's last verse speaks of the songwriter's commitment to his craft, as he repeats his melody, trying to perfect it, convinced that the only purpose that exists is the expression of his art.
Overall, "Songwriter" is an insightful song that captures the struggles and hopes of many artists who are trying to make sense of their craft and their calling. It's a song about creativity, inspiration, and dedication, and how artists use these to navigate the ups and downs of their creative journey.
