Remember the Hill
Softball Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
looking flying dragonflies
in the sky at sun set.
And it reminded me of the shape
of zero-fighters,because I saw
that on TV yesterday night.
Do I really understand that war?
I can feel my self dreary.
flew to the Pacific
holding in 500pond bomb.
And they passed away.
How was this madder
red sun setreflected
in their eyes?
We don't have a chance
to know those things.
We just put on a tiny show.
We are not satisfied
with the real world.
18year-old boy gripped
a steering in cock-pit.
They said good-bye forever.
At the departure
risking their lives,
memories of Father, Mother,
and Friends might be dearer
than ours at present.
I sit on a bench on a hill.
Do I understand a brave
spilit of the same ancestor?
In 1944,our grandfathers
flew to the Pacific holding
in 500pond bomb.
And they passed away.
How was this madder
red sun setreflected
in their eyes?
If I am in their situation,
do I have the same
courage as his?
What do I have to think
as a Japanese?
Look back history.
I sit on a bench on a hill,
looking flying dragonflies
in the sky at sun set.
And it reminded me of the shape
zero-fighters,because I saw
that on TV yesterday night.
Do I really understand that war?
The song "Remember the Hill" by Softball reflects on the horrors and realities of war, particularly the events that occurred during World War II. The lyrics express the confusion and uncertainty the singer feels when they see dragonflies in the sky at sunset and think of a TV program about the shape of zero-fighters, a Japanese fighter plane used during World War II. The singer questions if they truly understand the war and the sacrifices made by their ancestors.
The song then shifts focus to the grandfathers of the singer who flew to the Pacific in 1944, carrying 500-pound bombs, and lost their lives. The singer ponders on how the red sunset might have been reflected in their eyes during their last moments. The song expresses regret at not knowing more about those who sacrificed their lives in the war, and how we just put on a "tiny show" unaware of the realities of the world.
The final verse speaks about the bravery of the Japanese soldiers and asks whether the singer could be as courageous if they found themselves in the same situation. The song encourages listeners to reflect on history and remember the sacrifices made by previous generations.
