初日の出
People In The Box Lyrics

The lyrics of People In The Box's song "初日の出" (Hatsuhinodeshi) explore the themes of confusion, loneliness, and the constant state of progress that we find ourselves in. The song begins with the lines "Asahi ka yuuhi ka mo wakaranai yatsu ga kirei da nante itte nai de" (People who don't know if it's sunrise or sunset, don't say it's beautiful), hinting at the idea that beauty cannot be perceived without proper understanding. The next few lines "Taiyou ga ochite iru nja nai yo warera ga susunde iru no da" (The sun isn't setting, we are moving forward) suggest that we should not dwell on the past and should continue to move towards the future.

The chorus of the song is a call to action, telling the listener not to be lonely or discouraged and encouraging them to push forward. The line "Fushigi da sutetari hirotari hajimete wa owarasete ku hatsuhinodeshi" (It's a mystery, throwing things away and picking them up, begin and end with the first sunrise) suggests that life is a cycle of beginnings and endings, and that we should not be afraid to let go of things that no longer serve us.

The bridge of the song touches on the idea of mindfulness and being aware of one's thoughts and feelings. The line "Muishiki ni chi wo megurasete wa ishiki shite ki wo megurasete iru" (Unconsciously circulating blood, consciously circulating thoughts) suggests that we should pay attention to our inner state in order to move forward with purpose.
