raison
Key Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

目覚めの朝 かごの中で 君だけを見る
「おはよう」でさえ 傷つける道具でしかない
誰もがいる人の海で 息さえつけず
「助けてよ」と叫ぶ日は来ない

くすんだ赤い髪留めはしるべだよ
けれど君は何もかも忘れたようにすれ違うだけで
世界はとても綺麗で とても優しい
そう信じてた 君のまなざし
いつかの約束のために我慢できるから
そう信じてた 名を呼ぶ君
それだけが 僕のいる理由だよ

まどろむ夜 森の中でその意味を知る
言いたいこと飲み込んで ただ俯いてる
誰も来ない部屋の中に 君だけひとり
「おやすみ」を言える日は来ない

上手く焼けないケーキのような不器用な日々
けれど 伸ばそうとした手の先には何者もいない

世界は綺麗でもない 優しくもない
そう信じてる 君の言の葉
ここにいてもいいよねって それだけでいいから
そう信じてる 名を呼ぶ君
それだけが僕のいる理由だよ

世界はとても綺麗で とても優しい
そう信じられる 君の微笑み

いつか過酷を越えて 未来を手に入れる
そう信じられる 名を呼ぶ君
叶わぬ運命だと 諦めてた
でも今は その願い 想い
君と手を取って
終わり 僕たち
でも優しい日々への決意





そう信じてる それっぽっち
僕たちが手に入れた理由だよ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of KEY's song raison talks about the struggles of living in a world where life can be difficult and unfair, and how the love and companionship of another person can be a source of hope to keep going. The song starts with the singer waking up in the morning and seeing their loved one, but even the simple greeting of "good morning" can hurt them. The world around them is portrayed as an ocean of people where nobody cares about each other, and even when they shout for help, nobody listens. The chorus talks about how the singer believed that the world was beautiful and kind because of their loved one's gaze and how they can endure anything for the sake of their promise to each other. However, the second verse shows a more somber reality, where the singer must restrain their thoughts and feelings and where their loved one is alone in a room where nobody visits, leaving them unable to say "good night." The world is not kind or beautiful in this reality, but the singer still believes in the power of their loved one's words and that they can be happy just being together. The ending talks about how they will overcome the hardships and embrace a better future, but for now, they hold each other's hands and cherish the memories they have together.


Overall, the song is a romantic and heartwarming depiction of how love can be a powerful source of comfort and hope amid a harsh and unforgiving world. It also speaks to the theme of perseverance and the willingness to endure difficulties for the sake of someone else, even if the world around them is not always kind.

There goes my heart beating
'Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
There goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
There goes my hands shaking
And you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now
And if I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe
And I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason (I don't wanna fight no more)
I don't wanna hide no more
I don't wanna cry no more
Come back I need you to hold me (You are the reason)
Be a little closer now
Just a little closer now
Come a little closer
I need you to hold me tonight
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
'Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason

You Are The Reason

There goes my heart beating
'Cause you are the reason
I'm losing my sleep
Please come back now
And there goes my mind racing
And you are the reason
That I'm still breathing
I'm hopeless now
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
There goes my hands shaking
And you are the reason
My heart keeps bleeding
I need you now
And if I could turn back the clock
I'd make sure the light defeated the dark
I'd spend every hour, of every day
Keeping you safe
And I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
Oh, 'cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
I don't wanna fight no more
I don't wanna hide no more
I don't wanna cry no more
Come back I need you to hold me (you are the reason)
Be a little closer now
Just a little closer now
Come a little closer
I need you to hold me tonight
I'd climb every mountain
And swim every ocean
Just to be with you
And fix what I've broken
'Cause I need you to see
That you are the reason
