Until
Rena Uehara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
それは決して 悲しい物じゃなく 強くて優しい
こんなこんな 遠い場所から 歌ってるよ
君のことが忘れられない 僕は大人になって子供になってく
いつかどこかで出逢える日など 来ない方がいいよ
きっと あの日みたい 恋してしまう
黄金色に 光るススキの海
見つめていた あのときの君の横顔
それは はかない 時の中で見えた 永遠の様さ
こんな僕に 教えてくれたあの気持ちを
君のことを忘れないよ 僕はいろんな人と出会ってくけど
いつかどこかで思い出の中笑う君がいるよ
ずっと変わらないよ僕の心に
そして僕は 果てしないこの旅を続ける
思い出たちを優しい歌に変えて
君のことが忘れられない 僕は大人になって子供になってく
いつかどこかで出逢える日など 来ない方がいいよ
まだ 君のことを忘れないよ 僕はいろんな人と出会ってくけど
いつかどこかで思い出の中笑う君がいるよ
ずっと変わらないよ僕の心に
The lyrics of Rena Uehara's song Until express the singer's strong emotions towards a past love that she can't forget. She starts by asking if her voice can reach the person she is thinking of, as she constantly thinks about them during the seasons that keep passing by. However, this is not something sad, but something strong and gentle. Even from a faraway place, she sings this song for this person.
The chorus repeats the sentiment that she can't forget them, and even though she has grown up, she feels like a child when thinking of them. She believes it's better if they never meet again because it would make her fall in love with them all over again. The second verse paints a picturesque imagery of a golden sea of pampas grass, and she recalls the face of the person she was looking at during that moment. She refers to the moment as something fleeting that seems eternal, and she has learned from her experiences with this person.
The final chorus reminds the listener that she hasn't forgotten them, and even though she meets different people, she is content knowing that they will always be in her memories, and their laughter will forever bring her joy. The song's overall message conveys the singer's deep affection for a person that she knows she can never be with again, yet she accepts it with grace.
