Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
闇に虚しく 吸い込まれた
もしも世界が 意味を持つのなら
こんな気持ちも 無駄ではない?
憧れに押しつぶされて
あきらめてたんだ
果てしない空の色も 知らないで
走り出した想いが今でも
この胸を確かに叩いてるから
今日の僕がその先に続く
僕らなりの明日を築いていく
答えはそう いつもここにある
過ぎた季節を 嘆く暇はない
二度と迷ってしまわぬように
数えきれない
ほんのささやかな
そんな後悔抱えたまま
その背中だけ追いかけて
ここまで来たんだ
探していた 僕だけにできること
あの日くれた言葉が今でも
この胸に確かに届いてるから
昨日よりも今日僕は 僕の生まれてきた
理由に気付いていく
答えはそう いつもここにある
全てがまるで当たり前みたいだった
尊い日々はまだ終わらない
そしてまた
走り出した想いが今でも
この胸を確かに叩いてるから
今日の僕がその先に続く
僕らなりの明日を築いていく
答えはそう いつもここにある
This song, "Sorairo Days" by Shoko Nakagawa, is a powerful anthem about staying strong and pursuing your dreams even in the face of adversity. In the opening verses, the singer questions if her voice can be heard through the darkness that threatens to swallow it. She wonders if her emotions are meaningless if the world itself has no meaning. The lyrics then build to a powerful chorus that focuses on the strength of human emotions and the power of determination. The singer describes how, despite an overwhelming sense of longing and inadequacy, she can still feel the beating of her heart and the impulse within her to keep going.
Throughout the song, the singer acknowledges the difficulties of life and the many small regrets that can accumulate over time. She urges listeners not to dwell on the past or let their doubts consume them. Instead, the lyrics encourage forward momentum and placing one foot in front of the other towards a brighter future. The repeated line "the answer is always right here" emphasizes the importance of looking within oneself and trusting in one's own abilities and inner strength.
Overall, the song speaks to the human experience of longing for something more and the courage that comes with pursuing one's dreams. It underscores the idea that, even when things seem uncertain and daunting, we must forge ahead and follow the passions that drive us.

[Verse 1]
Kimi wa kikoeru? Boku no kono koe ga
Yami ni munashiku suikomareta
Moshimo sekai ga imi wo motsu no nara
Konna kimochi wo muda de wa nai
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Akogare ni oshitsubusarete akirametetan da
Hateshinai sora no iro mo shiranai de

Hashiridashita omoi ga ima demo
Kono mune wo tashikani tatauteru kara
Kyou no boku ga sono saki ni tsuzuku
Bokura nari no asu wo kizuiteiku
Kotae wa sou itsumo koko ni aru
[Verse 2]
Sugita kisetsu wo nagaku hima wa nai
Nido to mayotte shimawane youni
Kazoe kirenai hon no sasaya kana
Sonna koukai kakaeta mama
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sono senaka dake oikakete koko made kitan da
Sagashite ita boku dake ni dekiru koto

Ano hi kureta kotoba ga ima demo
Kono mune ni tashikani todoiteru kara

Boku no umaretekita wake ni kizuete yuku
Kotae wa sou itsumo koko ni aru

Anti-Spiral "How can this be? Where are you drawing all this power from?"
Simon "We evolve, beyond the person we were a minute before. Little by little, we advance a bit further with each turn. That's how a drill works."
Anti-Spiral "That is the path that leads to extinction. Why can't you see the pathetic limitation of the Spiral race?"
Simon "No, that's YOUR limitation! You sit here closed off, locking away other lifeforms like some kind of king. That's nobody's limitation but your own!"
Yoko "He's right, we humans used to have somebody much greater than us! For his sake alone, we'll keep on moving forward!"
Nia "I've staked everything! I make good use of the human spirit too!"
Simon "Mark my words, this drill will open a hole in the universe. And that hole will be a path for those behind us. The dreams of those who've fallen, the hopes of those who will follow. Those two sets of dreams weaved together into a double helix, drilling a path towards tomorrow. And that's Tengen Toppa!!!! That's Gurren Lagann!!!!!! My drill is the drill that CREATES THE HEAVENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Listen up: what can you hear?
Does my voice simply disappear,
Sucked away into the void, so empty and so dark?
If there is more to this world,
Then I can be certain at last
That this drive burning within
Has some role to fulfill
I was crushed by the longing welling up inside
And I had just surrendered
Without having touched the air above the ground or the endless sky
So I began to run
Because I feel it, even now,
These sensations overflowing in the beating of my heart
I say Carpe Diem
As I am reaching for my goal
We'll create our own tomorrows 'till this world is finally whole
The answer I have found
Will always burn within my soul
Time goes on, nothing will last
I will not hold onto the past
I cannot waver again because I am afraid
No more doubt, no more regret
No more things to make me forget
That I am destined for more, and it's all in my hands
I have traveled so far and learned so many things
By following your shadow
And now I can see that it is only me who can seize my fate
I listened to your words, and I can hear them even now
'Cause they echo in this memory that I hold deep in my heart
I've found the reason why, and I just know it's here to stay:
I was born into this world so I could cherish every day
The answer I have found
Will never ever go away
All these truths revealed themselves in a way that was so natural and warm
Those precious days of youth haven't yet come to end, and they will return
So I began to run
Because I feel it, even now,
These sensations overflowing in the beating of my heart
I say Carpe Diem
As I am reaching for my goal
We'll create our own tomorrows 'till this world is finally whole
The answer I have found
Will always burn within my soul
