LIV MOON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
跪き その身を捧げて その手の剣を引くの
目を覚まして気付く 怯まずに さぁ
裏切りに微笑み 愛を憎んでは 憎みきれず
遙か遠く 遠くへと走れ 走り去れ
そして もう二度とは 振り返らないと命を掲げて
誓うだけ…
何も望まず さぁ 荒れ地を這って
そして必ずその命の灯 繋ぎとめよ
遙か遠く 遠くへと走れ 走り去れ
そして もう二度とは 振り返らないと命を掲げて
誓うだけ…
遙か彼方 この地の果てまで 走り去れ
そして振り返らず この愛を… 愛を想わずに生きて
生き抜いて…
果てまで…
The lyrics of LIV MOON's song ESCAPE urge the listener to escape from a difficult situation or personal demons. The singer is calling for courage and determination, indicating that forgiveness and sacrifice are necessary to move past the issue at hand. The opening line translates to, "If you seek forgiveness, do so gracefully by kneeling and offering yourself up while drawing the sword in your hand." This powerful image of surrendering while simultaneously taking a stance sets the tone for the song.
The chorus repeats the phrase "run far away," with the added emphasis of not looking back. There is a sense of finality here, as the singer declares that they will no longer be held back or hindered by their problems. They must leave everything behind and never come back, promising to move forward no matter what.
The lyrics of ESCAPE are open to interpretation, allowing the listener to apply their personal meaning to the words. However, the universal message of overcoming obstacles and moving forward in life is evident in the lyrics. The song is a powerful anthem for those who feel trapped or held back from their goals in life.
