meridian
Natsuko Nisshoku Lyrics

These lyrics to Natsuko Nisshoku's song "meridian" convey a sense of longing and despair. The opening line, "There is no endless night," seems to raise a defiant voice, declaring that darkness cannot prevail forever. It speaks of someone who is shaken by the presence of someone protected by the night's darkness, yearning for a place to hide and cry away from prying eyes.

The chorus, "meridian, the day when light fills the sky," shows that there was someone who did not desire such a day of light, perhaps due to a sense of hopelessness. The plea to not forget, to not forget the one who praised the light, is a cry for remembrance amidst the darkness. The lyrics convey a feeling of loss and the desire for someone to remember the singer.

The second verse continues with imagery of a sky extravagantly colored, not leaving a single cloud behind, but the hiding place has been lost and the melting grief is no longer seen. The person mentioned in the lyrics reaches out their hand to the approaching sunrise, perhaps trying to stop or hold onto something. The pain is something they don't want to be known, and the only place to hide it has disappeared.

In the final chorus, there is a realization that only light can satisfy, but it remains out of reach. Hope alone is not enough to live on; there is a yearning for something more profound. The repeated phrase "goodbye, swallowed by the darkness" suggests a farewell, a parting from the singer who remains in the dark.
