SunSet Swish Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

黄昏時の空見つめた眼差し
あの頃は譲れない夢を抱えてた
Ahいつの日もこの胸を
熱くさせるのは
瞼の裏側で消えない想い出
あいつらは
『マグレなんてもんはない』
『何気なくなんて恐い』

そう歌いながら
変わり続ける風の中で
笑ってたなぁ
最後の一秒まで続く
熱い想いを奏でていよう
哀しみを知る強き君に
もらった情熱を燈しながら
さあ向かおうか明日へ
経験を重ねて造ったモノサシ
あの頃はそんな物
認めちゃなかったね
Ahわかってるつもりさ
日々のストロークを
繰り返すことでしか
リズムは見えない
あいつらは
『大人ぶってんじゃない』
『諦めてんじゃない』
そう叫びながら
やるせなくて許せなくて
泣いていたなぁ
最後の一秒まで続く
熱い想いを誓い合った
掌を握り締めながら
選んだ情熱が別々でも
君の手に栄光あれ

甘い期待自体見たい痛い時代
それでもまだ
素晴らしい世界求めていたい
ナニを残し?ドコヘゆく?
最後の一秒まで続く
熱い想いを奏でていよう
哀しみを知る強き君に
もらった情熱を燈したら
重ならない未来と理想
あの日の空を想いながら
ソレもアレも自分なぁそうだろう?
全部ひっくるめて認めてやろう
さあ向かおうか明日へ
You got friends
You got friends, Passion Days
You got friends
You got friends, Passion Days
You got friends
You got friends, Passion Days

You got friends
You got friends, Passion Days

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of SunSet Swish's song "PASSION" are telling a story about an individual that reminisces of their past, having held onto a certain dream that they could never let go. The "黄昏時の空" or the twilight sky that they once gazed upon with passion holds many memories that cannot be erased from their mind. The emotions that were felt during that time still ignite within their heart, a fire that cannot be extinguished. The individual recalls the people that they used to be with during that time, how they would sing out, "『マグレなんてもんはない』" or "there is no such thing as a cheat," and how they used to laugh in the midst of the wind that constantly changes.

The lyrics then move on to discuss the growth of oneself, how they have come to understand the tools that they have created through experience, and how they didn't realize that at the time those tools would become invaluable. The "リズム" or the rhythm that the person felt was created by the daily strokes of life, the repetition of tedious tasks, and how it was from that rhythm that they finally saw it take shape in their life. During the hardships, the individual reveals that they've only grown stronger, as they recall "泣いていたなぁ," or that they had cried before.

The song concludes by revealing that the individual still wants to pursue a wonderful world, despite being aware of how the world can still be painful. The lyrics ask, "ナニを残し? ドコヘゆく?" or "What will you leave behind? Where will you go?" The individual then remembers the sky that they saw on that day, where they will take their passion and light it as a torch, continuing to move forward towards the future.
