Birthday
Kanan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
手を引いた君から
優しい眼差しを受けた。
日々に溶けるこの瞬間(とき)すら
続く日常だと思っていた。
あの日から動けないのです。
君のくれた記憶(もの)が絡まって
か細い明りを頼りにしても
なれないとわかっていた。
歩き出す夕闇 肌を撫でる風から
隣に居る君が
守るように肩を寄せる。
過去が見せたこの瞬間すら
届く日常だと信じていた。
あの日から動けないのです。
君のくれた記憶に埋もれてる
か細い明りを頼りにしても
あの時と同じようには もう
笑えないから、きっと。
私だけの時間が過ぎて
また一つ数えた。
いつかこの蝋燭は君から遠く離れて
流れずに消えた時間を
焦がすように燃え尽きる。
あの日から動けないのです。
その喪失感に縛られて
か細い明りを何度灯すの?
あの時と同じような日々に
憧れるように、ずっと。
私だけの時間はいらない
君がいるあの瞬間が欲しいよ。
か細い明りを頼りにしても
あの時と同じようには もう
なれないとわかっていた。
The lyrics to Kanan's song "Birthday" are a poignant exploration of loss, memory, and the difficulty of moving forward. Across three verses, the singer reflects on a memory of being with someone they care about in the rain, feeling grateful for their presence. However, since that day, they've found themselves unable to move, trapped by the memories that their loved one has left behind. The singer tries to find comfort in the present moment, with their loved one still beside them, but they can't shake the feeling that they're living in a shadow of what used to be. The final verse is a meditation on the passage of time and how difficult it can be to let go of someone who's gone. The singer misses their loved one's company and feels like they'll never be able to fully let go of the past, even though they know they'll never be able to go back to how things were before.
Across these lyrics, Kanan captures something profound and emotional about the human experience, something that many people can relate to. The feeling of being trapped by happy memories is something that many people have experienced at some point in their lives, and the imagery of rain and candles adds to the sense of reflection and contemplation. Ultimately, "Birthday" is a moving and thought-provoking song that invites listeners to reflect on the meaning of memories and the challenge of moving forward.
