Passage
Mariko Takahashi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

passage 人の心は
近くて遠くて過ぎてくもの
long way 通過した駅
愛があった日々余韻ゆれて
まだ見ぬ夢いくつそう届く限り
流れさせない恋心
季節ごとにほほえんで
something 感じたいから

心やわらかに泳がせてる
roses 作られた色
少し馴染まない私がいる
もう派手なドレスも
今脱ぎ捨てたい
裸足のままの恋心
装うなら笑顔だけ
many days こぼれるほどの
思い出つまんで笑いかける

まだ見ぬ夢いくつそう届く限り
流れさせない恋心
季節ごとにほほえんで

passage 通過した駅
数えてゆくよな気分のまま

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mariko Takahashi's song "Passage" speak to the complex nature of human emotions and the fleeting moments that pass by in our lives. The song reflects on the distance and closeness of people's hearts and the transient nature of time. It describes a journey, symbolized by passing through different stations, where the remnants of past love and memories linger. The singer longs to feel something, to let their heart swim freely and be touched by the colors of life. They acknowledge that they may not fit in with the "roses" that are artificially created, preferring to be true to themselves. Shedding the flashy exterior, they want to embrace the vulnerability of a barefoot heart and adorn it with a genuine smile. The passage through life's stations is experienced with a sense of gratitude for the memories and the desire to cherish them, counting them as they go along, guided by their ever-changing mood.
