the flag
Kazumasa Oda Lyrics

The song "The Flag" by Kazumasa Oda is a reflection on life and the changes that come with growing up. The opening lines talk about how things were simpler when they were young and it was just about being young. The lyrics then move on to the idea that they used to hurt each other back then because they didn't know any better. The next few lines focus on how they had pure thoughts and an unwavering heart, but they now find themselves lost in the world.

The chorus of the song comes in next, talking about how the only thing they have left from that time is the flag they once raised. They keep that flag with them even in the present, as it still sways in the wind of time. The next verse continues with the theme of change and how they wonder what happened to them as they grew older. They came to realize that they themselves have changed and that they no longer have the same feeling of freedom and courage they once did. They lament how they folded their wings and never took flight again.

The final section of the song talks about how they're going to change the world, something they had dreamed of doing when they were young. They ask if they should look for the road they must take, and implore each other to find the tools they need to be able to fight and stand together. The song ends with them asserting that they will not give up, and that they will be there for each other, even if only one of them is left, with their flag waving in the wind.

Overall, the song captures the feeling of loss and nostalgia that comes with growing older, but it also has an element of hope and determination to it. It's a beautiful reflection on the human condition and how we all change as we grow and evolve.
