Gravity
Maaya Sakamoto / Wolfs Rain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been there and gone tomorrow
Without saying goodbye to yesterday
Are the memories I hold still valid?
Or have the tears deluded them?
Maybe this time tomorrow
The rain will cease to follow
Something somewhere out there keeps calling
Am I going home?
Will I hear someone singing solace to the silent moon?
Zero gravity what's it like?
Am I alone?
Is somebody there beyond these heavy aching feet
Still the road keeps on telling me to go on
Something is pulling me
I feel the gravity of it all
“Gravity” is a song by Maaya Sakamoto, which is the opening theme for the anime series Wolf's Rain. The song is about a journey of self-discovery and searching for home, and whether the memories one holds are still valid. The opening lines “Been a long road to follow, been there and gone tomorrow without saying goodbye to yesterday” convey a sense of nostalgia and regret of not saying goodbye, and that they missed the chance to make amends or cherish the memories once held.
The lines “Something somewhere out there keeps calling, Am I going home?” suggest that the singer is trying to find a place where they belong or a sense of purpose, and this is reinforced by the line “Still, the road keeps on telling me to go on, Something is pulling me, I feel the gravity of it all.” The lyrics suggest that the road is a metaphor for life and the journey to find oneself. The climax of the song comes in the lines “Zero gravity what's it like? Am I alone? Is somebody there beyond these heavy aching feet,” suggesting the singer has reached a point of uncertainty and is questioning their place in the world.
Overall, “Gravity” is a poignant, evocative song that complements the themes of Wolf’s Rain, and the lyrics can be interpreted as a metaphor for the journey of life and the struggle to find oneself amidst the chaos of the world.
