Signs
Mei Ehara Lyrics

In Mei Ehara's song "Signs", the lyrics convey a sense of nostalgia and reflection as memories accumulate like soot, threatening to overwhelm the singer. However, amidst the confusion, there are moments of clarity as they reflect on choices made and affirmed decisions. The line "迷わず間読んだことも確としたことになる" (even the decisions made without hesitation become certain) highlights how even impulsive choices can become fixed in memory and contribute to a greater understanding of oneself.

The imagery of the color red also plays a significant role in the song, with the singer describing the "紐解いた赤" (unraveled red) as reflecting the "今夜のサイン" (signs of tonight). The color red is often associated with passion and intensity, and in this context, it could symbolize the singer's emotions and desires. The repetition of the line "今夜のサイン 天気はまだ" (tonight's sign, the weather is still uncertain) could also suggest a search for direction or meaning in the present moment, amidst the backdrop of an uncertain future.

The use of sensory details such as "ぼやけた明かり" (fuzzy light), and "時が離れてゆきそう" (time seems to be drifting away) create a dream-like atmosphere, blurring the lines between past and present, reality and imagination. The closing lines of the song, "辺りは何も持たないで　待っているような 天気はまだ" (the surroundings hold nothing, as if waiting, but the weather is still uncertain), could be interpreted as a call to embrace the unknown and find beauty in the uncertainty.
