いつか見上げた空に
ORIGINAL LOVE Lyrics

The lyrics of ORIGINAL LOVE's "いつか見上げた空に" (Itsuka Miageta Sora ni) talks about a promise that the singer made with someone under the blue sky, which is now a distant memory that can only be faintly remembered. They also talk about chasing after something that seems just out of reach, like a faraway rainbow, and the pursuit of that something. The second verse shifts to a scene where the two are collecting sunlight filtering through the leaves of a tree, with the singer noticing the way their loved one's cheeks change color. They chase after something again, this time through a city that is slowly being covered in darkness. The chorus repeats the promise made under the blue sky and how the marker they set is still not visible in the unreachable sky. The bridge suggests that maybe the answer to what they are searching for is in the wind, but even so, they continue to chase after it in a city that lights up as they run.

The lyrics create a nostalgic, wistful mood, with the singer looking back on a time that cannot be brought back. The pursuit of something that is just out of reach adds to the longing that flows throughout the song. The blue sky mentioned throughout the song probably symbolizes a happy memory, and the goal of finding that something that has been driving the singer could be a metaphor for finding happiness again.
