A Red Ray
SUGIZO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
声が聞こえてた
静寂のなかに
一筋の
赤い光
心をなくして
未来を見つけた
何者か知らぬまま
Bright lights here are bright lights 救いの光
絶望のなか生きる希望に泣いている
心を摘んで咲かせる花よ
Even if the stars are gone, bright lights are still here.
それを知るたびに
君は変わってく
恐れを手放し
強くなれ
そう 愛のなかで
痛みに抗い
傷を深めてる
何の為に
目の前の君を失えば
何が残る
Bright lights here are bright lights 救いの光
無力な現実 願いだけ抱き締めている
巡る世界で何度も君よ 旅立て
永遠の光
Even if the stars are gone, bright lights are still here.
A Red Ray is still here.
宇宙が呼んでいる
声が聞こえてる
静寂のなかに
一筋の
The lyrics of SUGIZO's song "A Red Ray" express profound themes of self-discovery, hope, transformation, love, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The imagery of a red ray of light shining through the silence symbolizes a call from the universe, a message that is heard amidst the quietness of one's inner world. This red ray serves as a guiding beacon leading the listener towards their true self and a deeper connection to the cosmos.
The lyrics hint at a journey of losing oneself to find the future, with time passing by as the individual navigates unknown territories. The importance of embracing change, letting go of fear, and growing stronger through love is emphasized, suggesting that personal transformation and growth are essential aspects of fully realizing one's potential. The red ray of light is depicted as a source of salvation and hope in the midst of despair, urging the listener to embrace positivity even when faced with challenges.
The notion of enduring pain, battling against it, and deepening one's wounds raises questions about the purpose of struggles and the meaning behind loss. Despite the uncertainties and hardships encountered along the way, the lyrics emphasize the importance of holding onto hope, cherishing the beauty of life, and finding strength in the face of adversity. The repetition of the phrase "Bright lights here are bright lights, even if the stars are gone" reinforces the idea that there is always light and positivity to be found, even in the darkest of times.
As the lyrics unfold, the listener is encouraged to evolve, to let go of their fears, and to embrace love as a transformative force. The mention of an eternal light and the enduring presence of a red ray symbolize the permanence of hope, guidance, and resilience in the journey of self-discovery. The overarching message conveyed in the song is one of perseverance, growth, and the power of love and light to illuminate the path forward, even in the midst of uncertainty and challenges.
