Silhouette Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
bokura wa nanimo nanimo mada shiranu
issen koete furikaeru to mou nai
bokura wa nanimo nanimo mada shiranu
udatte udatte udatteku kirameku ase ga koboreru no sa
oboetenai koto mo takusan unatta darou
daiji ni shiteta mono wasureta furi o shitanda yo
nanimo nai yo waraeru sa
— Mungkin ada banyak hal yang bahkan tak kita ingat
risei no ne omoidasu shounen
bokura wa nanimo kamo hoshigatta
wakatatteiru tte aa kidzuiteiru tte
tokei no hari wa hibi wa tomaranai
ubatte ubatte ubatteku nagareru toki to kioku
tooku tooku tooku ni natte
oboetenai koto mo takusan hirotta darou
daremo kare mo shiruetto
sore de amaru koto shiranai furi o shitanda yo
nanimo nai yo waraeru sa
hirari to hirari to matteru
konoha mo yo ni yureru to oto naku shousou nakusu
dou shiteitai yo
oboetenai koto mo takusan unatta kedo
kitto zutto kawaranai mono ga aru
koto o oshietekureta anata wa
kieru kieru shiruetto
daiji ni shitai mono motte otona ni narunda
donna toki mo hanasazu ni mamoritsudzukeyou
soshitara itsu no hi ni ka nanimokamo waraeru sa
hirari to hirari to matteru
konoha ga tondeyuku
The lyrics to Silhouette Brown's "Looking Back" begin with "issee noo se de fumikomu goo rain," which can be translated to "I see a crowd coming in with determination." The next line, "bokura wa nanimo nanimo mada shiranu," translates to "We still don't know anything at all." The song continues to express the idea that there are many things that we may have forgotten or haven't yet learned, yet we continue to move forward with determination. The lines "nanimo nai yo waraeru sa" mean "There's nothing there, yet we can laugh." The song suggests embracing the unknown and reveling in the journey rather than focusing solely on the destination.
Throughout the song, the lyrics touch on themes of memory, growth, and living in the present moment. The line "oboetenai koto mo takusan unatta darou" can be translated to "We must have experienced so many things we don't remember," while "daiji ni shiteta mono wasureta furi o shitanda yo" means "We pretended to forget the things we cherished." The song also emphasizes the importance of protecting the things that matter most, as seen in the line "daiji ni shitai mono motte otona ni narunda," which means "We will become adults while holding onto the things we treasure." Essentially, "Looking Back" conveys a message of living life to the fullest, even when we may not have all the answers or fully understand our own experiences.
