Lighthouse
Onew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
あの日の君 忘れはしない
ただひとときさえも
世界は相変わらず慌ただしい
この心を 見失って
苛立ちながら 目を閉じれば
透き通る声は そのままに
両手を広げて 迎えてくれるよ
君におかえり
僕におかえり
どこにいようと 傍にいるから
君におかえり
僕におかえり
彷徨いながら 泣きながら
還る場所はひとつ
ここへ おかえり
会えないことが悲しいんじゃない
思い出になることが哀しい
言葉にならない 込み上げる想いを
すべての愛を 今君に
限りない感謝を 捧げよう
これまでもずっと これからもずっと
君におかえり
僕におかえり
どんな時も 強くなれるよ
君におかえり
僕におかえり
うつむく日々も道標は
心の中にある
君におかえり
僕におかえり
世界をどうか照らし続けて
You are my lighthouse, ooh no no no no no
永遠に愛は生き続ける
還れる場所になる
ここへ おかえり
The lyrics to Onew's song "Lighthouse" reflect themes of remembrance, longing, gratitude, and the enduring presence of love. The opening lines express how many seasons have passed since a particular day, emphasizing that the singer will never forget the person from that day, even for just a moment. Despite the world continuing to be busy and chaotic, the singer feels lost in their own heart, but finds solace in the image of the person they are thinking of, who is always there with a comforting smile and welcoming arms.
The chorus of the song repeatedly welcomes the person back, both from the perspective of the singer to the person and vice versa. It conveys a sense of unwavering companionship and support, no matter where they may be or what struggles they face. The return and homecoming are described as the same place, a place of solace and belonging where one can always come back to. This notion of a safe and constant haven is reiterated throughout the lyrics, emphasizing the importance of having a place and person to return to in times of need.
The singer reflects on the sadness of not being able to see the person they care for and cherishing the memories they have shared. They express the depth of their feelings in words that cannot fully capture the emotions welling up inside. The lyrics then transition to a declaration of offering all their love and endless gratitude to the person they are addressing, promising to continue to do so into the future. The connection and bond between the two are described as strong and enduring, providing strength and guidance even in difficult times.
The song concludes with a powerful affirmation of love and the role of the person addressed as a lighthouse. They are described as a guiding light that will continue to shine and illuminate the world, symbolizing eternal love that will always provide a place of return and refuge. The repeated phrases of "You are my lighthouse" and "Welcome back here" underline the importance of this person in the singer's life, affirming their presence as a source of love, comfort, and direction that will endure indefinitely.
