Destiny
Matsuhashi Miki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
何を求めてるの 嘘に慣れてゆく 今日もfake your eyes
Where did we go wrong?
言葉じゃ足りないものに 背中を向けた瞬間にfade away
静寂から救い出してよ
深い海 凍りつく
腐敗に堕とされる
I think it's only my destiny
新しい世界みつめて 1秒ごとに受けとめる
oh yeah, You're going nowhere, It's only destiny
動き出した夜明けは ほら照らし出すwith all your heart
The start of century
確かなものなくて ひとりじゃ泣けない弱さhate myself
信じてる痛み引きかえに
この胸埋めつくして
今 映っている
2人が選んだ未来(みち)くる
I think it's only my destiny
果てしない闇の向こうに だれも知ることのない明日がある
oh yeah, You're going nowhere, It's only destiny
ありのままに進んで 今 感じているyou're in my heart
心減らす深い空はつづくけど 手探りで光あつめ
oh yes, I think it's only my destiny
新しい世界みつめて 1秒ごとに受けとめる
oh yes, I think it's only my destiny
果てしない闇の向こうに だれも知ることのない 終わらない明日をみつけ
oh yeah, You're going nowhere, It's only destiny
ありのままに進んで 今 抱きしめるyou're in my heart
you're in my heart
The song “Destiny” by Matsuhashi Miki reflects on the uncertainty and difficulties of life. The opening lines suggest a sense of disorientation and disbelief, questioning what is being pursued and whether one is becoming accustomed to living a life of deception and facade. The next set of lines alludes to a moment of separation, where communication fails to convey the depth of feelings, leading to a loss of connection and a sense of fading away. The chorus highlights the acceptance of destiny, that despite the lack of certainty or clear path, one must continue to move forward, embrace new beginnings, and live with intention.
The second verse further emphasizes the struggles of life, with a reference to the start of the century, leading to a feeling of vulnerability and insecurity. However, there is the recognition of the value of pain, that it can be transformative and ultimately lead to personal growth. The bridge then emphasizes the importance of hope, that even in the midst of darkness, one can keep moving forward and seek the light. The final chorus reiterates the acceptance of destiny, that it is through embracing the unknown that one can find happiness and achieve inner peace.
