打ち上げ花火
Safarii Lyrics

The lyrics to Safarii's song 打ち上げ花火 (Uchiage Hanabi) narrates a heart-shattering farewell to a loved one. The singer reminisces about the happy days they shared together, which slowly fade into dusk. The loved one left behind promises that cannot be fulfilled, and all that remains is a matching set of rings and photographs of a southern island where they once talked about their future together. Despite knowing that the loved one is gone, the singer cannot help but reach out to them, but they are already beyond his reach.

The singer of the song is wracked with pain and confusion, wondering where the loved one has gone and lamenting the memories that will only cause him heartbreak. The two of them used to laugh and enjoy white sand beaches, but now, the memories of their petty quarrels on the way back from such idyllic outings serve only to emphasize what he has lost. Unwittingly, their steps no longer match, and frustration and confusion set in. The chilling autumn winds carry a sense of loneliness and sadness, which, when combined with entangled emotions, brings tears to the singer's eyes.

This heart-rending lamentation to a former lover is a bittersweet reminder of the pain that enduring love can sometimes bring. The singer mourns the loss of a once-shared future that was shattered by unseen forces beyond his control. This song is a powerful reminder that sometimes, no matter how much we love, we must say goodbye.
